About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

There are been reports of meth users eating or chewing the drug. Users will put the meth on paper or food or even chew it in their mouth.
Meths effects are somewhat different depending on how the drug is taken. When meth is smoked or injected the user will experience a strong sensation, resembling a vibration or 'rush', which weakens within a few minutes. When meth is snorted or swallowed the user will experience a temporary euphoria.
Scientists have estimated that as much as 50% of the dopamine-producing cells in the users brain are damaged after they use meth for a prolonged period of time. The same study found that serotonin-containing nerve cells may be damaged even more extensively than their dopamine-producing cells.
Users take meth in a variety of ways; they smoke, snort, inject or swallow the drug.
White, odorless and a bitter-tasting crystalline powder, meth easily dissolves in water or alcohol. The drug is taken orally, intranasal (snorting the powder), by needle injection, or by smoking.
