This amount doubles that established as of notable importance by the Legal System. In this way, the distribution of nearly 4,000 doses of 'crystal' in the capital of Seville has been avoided.

Methamphetamine hydrochloride is arranged in transparent ice-like crystals; By grinding these crystals, they can be inhaled or smoked. This substance is much more dangerous than amphetamines for the body.
