Methamphetamine's mode of action

I was sure that methamphetamine solely affected the adrenal system (and possibly dopamine) but someone was claiming that its main method of action was that it released endorphins. I said that he was getting confused with opiates (as they are all converted into morphine in the brain which binds to endorphin receptors) but he was adamant that methamphetamine also affects endorphins. Could anyone pleaes shed light on the truth of methamphetamine's mode of action for me? Thanks.
