Abstract

 -WY commonly known among users as “World is yours” are methamphetamine tablets. These contain methamphetamine 25-35mg, very addictive stimulant drug along with caffeine 45-65mg. At comparable doses, the effects of methamphetamine are much more potent, longer lasting and more harmful than amphetamine to the cardiovascular and central nervous system. WY can be ingested, snorted, smoked, or injected. Myanmar is the highest illegal production center of WY by smuggling maximum amount of easily available precursors, ephedrine and pseudoephedrine from India. Manipur, being at the international border (through Moreh Town) to Myanmar is now becoming the targeted smuggling centre for WY and it becomes now an area of great concern
