What is the street drug "Glass"?

Question

My sister is into this, I want to find out all I can about it. I have heard of it, but I am unsure of what exactly it is. What does it do, how addictive is it, what is it made of, what are long term effects, is there a long term with this drug? Where can we go to get her the help she needs, does she need councling or to be hospitalized?
Thank you all for your input.

t is also called "ice," "crystal," "glass" and "tina."

Crystal meth can be easy to produce in small, clandestine labs, sometimes in a kitchen or bathroom, by mixing a cocktail of about 15 substances, mostly pseudoephedrine (a cold remedy), red phosphorous and iodine, but also including ammonia, paint thinner, ether, Drano and the lithium from batteries.

Police say an investment of about $150 can yield up to $10,000 worth of the drug.

But the resulting drug is often impure and the manufacturing process can be dangerous and cause fires.

Crystal meth has become the most widespread and popular form of the drug, largely because it is so easy to make that anyone can set up a lab (instructions are widespread on the World Wide Web), but also because motorcycle gangs, which are becoming dominant in organized drug trafficking, usually sell the drug.
