'''Pseudopolis Yard''' is the name of a circular street in the [[Isle of Gods]], a bit of uptown [[Ankh-Morpork]] almost circled by the river [[Ankh (river)|Ankh]], connected to the rest of uptown Ankh-Morpork by two streets, and to downtown Morpork by four bridges.
Crystal meth, also known as methamphetamine or ice, is a highly addictive and potent stimulant drug. It's typically sold in the form of small, white, crystalline rocks or chunks. To consume crystal meth in the United States, you can use one of several methods:


Nine streets radiate out from the Yard. Proceeding Turnwise (clockwise) from Lower Broad Way, these are described as:-
Smoking: Using a glass pipe, known as a "meth pipe," is the most common method of ingesting crystal meth. You heat the crystal in the pipe, and inhale the vapor. This method delivers the drug's effects quickly.


*Lower [[Broad Way]] leads back to the [[Patrician's Palace]] and onwards, via the [[Brass Bridge]]. [[Brewer Street]] radiates off  halfway along and, via [[Contract Bridge (landmark)|Contract Bridge]], leads to [[Cheapside]] on the other side of the river.
Snorting: Some users choose to snort or sniff the drug through their nose, usually by crushing the crystals into a powder. This method also allows the drug to reach the bloodstream quickly.
*[[Holofernes Street]] crosses back to the University quarter and the main Guildhouses on the [[Street of Alchemists]] and [[Peach Pie Street]] via the [[New Bridge]].
*[[Lag Lane]] is a service road to the [[Tanty]] prison that does not cross the river.  
* Polestaff Lane runs on the other side of the Tanty and leads onto Don't Look Back Street, which leads onto [[Body Street]] and terminates at the riverside [[Chain Walk]].
*[[Salis Street]] leads, via one of the swingbridges over [[The Cut|the Cut]], to the Ankh side and the crossroads with [[Prouts]] and [[Park Lane]].
* The next street is [[Quilldaisy Stairs]], which goes directly to  [[Pon's Bridge]] towards the Shades. On the far side of Pons it is named as [[Sheer Street]]. 
*[[Squeezebelly Alley]]  does not cross the river. which ends at the riverbank at [[By-Your-Leave Walk]] and does not cross the river.
*[[The Butts|Butt's Treat]] also does not cross the river, but it leads to the archery practice fields.  


Injecting: Injecting crystal meth directly into a vein is another way to use the drug. This method carries significant health risks, including infection and blood-borne diseases.


It can therefore be seen from the Mappe that the major arterial roadway  through the city of Ankh-Morpork runs  [[Hubwards Gate]] - Upper Broadway-Patrician's Palace - Brass Bridge-Lower Broad Way - Pseudopolis Yard - Salis Street - the Cut - [[Park Lane]] - [[Edgeway Road]] - [[Rimwards Gate]]. This road can be traced as one completely straight unbroken road right through the City from Gate to Gate.  
Oral consumption: Ingesting crystal meth by swallowing it, either as a whole crystal or crushed into a powder, is another method. However, this method is less popular since the effects are delayed.


The [[Opera House]] stands at the dead centre of Pseudopolis Yard, which, in some theories, makes it the absolute dead centre of the City. On the other side of the street, the [[Ankh-Morpork City Watch]]'s headquarters can be found. Given its links to policing, possibly a reference to {{wp|Scotland_Yard|Scotland Yard}}
Crystal meth can have serious health consequences, including addiction, heart problems, and mental health issues. If you're struggling with addiction, consider seeking professional help.
 
According to [[Book:The Compleat Ankh-Morpork|The Compleat Ankh-Morpork]], Pseudopolis Yard also offers a choice of two public houses - 'The Singing Hippos' on the corner of Lower [[Broadway]], opposite the Watch House, and 'The Stab in the Back' on the corner of [[Salis Street]].
