What today is known as "Meth", has its chemical basis in drugs used by the Germans already in WWI. Meth is not really a new drug. More a rediscovered mixture.
I was told that by a German police officer who worked in the drugs department.
Several classes of warriors and organised assassins throughout history used drugs to adrenlise themselves, lower pain sensiblity and reduce fear. Famous are the Arab Hashashins/Assassins, and the Norse Berserks. The latter also were able to enter a trance-like stance during battle or hard labour without consuming drugs.
