Answer 1

...uses "ice," a highly refined methamphetamine that's pure enough to smoke, and is often done in social settings, with people passing around the pipe. A lot of the work MedEvent is asked to do is at gay dance clubs, where there has traditionally been some drug use for heightened sexual pleasure

People have short tempers when they're on it, and they're very sexually aggressive. ... And where with meth you might be high for 4-6 hours, with this you're high 10-12 hours and it's several times stronger than meth."
Even for people who are accustomed to using meth, he says, ice is often a problem. "It just seems to take people over like nothing I've ever seen. They can maintain their lives for years with meth, but with this they forget about their jobs, their families, everything. The only thing that matters is ice. I've talked with chemists and medical people and even people who make it, but no one has been able to explain why this is so much stronger. It just is."

Ice is a relatively new kid on the methamphetamine drug block. While street meth and ice are basically the same drug, ice is meth that's been further refined. The hydrochloride salt has to be very pure before the crystals that distinguish ice from meth will form. So as a rule, while street meth may have a purity level of 10-30 percent, ice has a purity level of 80-90 percent. And about 15 years ago someone figured out that it could be smoked, which maximizes its potency.

Ice first appeared in east Asia, perhaps Korea or Taiwan. From there, the drug made its way to Japan, and from there it went to Hawaii around 1990. A couple of years later it reached California's meth circles, and in about 1999 or 2000 it hit the Midwest and south, from eastern Oklahoma through Missouri and Kansas, down through Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Georgia. But because ice is so expensive, it didn't hit hard – not like crack, that hit as an epidemic, with little $2 vials all over the streets.

"You've pretty much got to get it from a real dealer, someone who knows a cook or a distributor," says John L., "because ice heads don't want to give it up. It's too precious."
Dr. Mann goes one step further: "I believe that a lot of meth users are undiagnosed adult ADD patients who are self-medicating. I think people should be educated to this possibility, and if they notice that they're improved with meth, they might want to go get checked for adult ADD to see if that's their problem. Unfortunately, society's solution is to try to catch them and put them in jail. That's crazy now and always has been. This is a medical problem. What we need to do is expand rehabilitation and stop incarceration."

Answer 2

It depends on the context. It is used to refer to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That is the Federal agency in charge of controlling the border. Recently some groups have encouraged cell phone users to list an emergency contact in their phones address book under ICE for In Case of Emergency. Frozen water is not a law enforcement use, but is accurate. This is the first I've heard of it as the street name of a drug, but I'm not up on that topic.

Answer 3

LOL I thought you meant frozen water too. Its a form of smokeable methamphetamine that was big during the late 80's early 90's. It really kinda went out of popularity with the invention of crack and meth.
