About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

When a person takes meth it increases the levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. This stimulates brain cells, enhancing mood and body movement.
Today, a typical meth user is a 17-year-old white male who lives with both parents. Statistics show that he first experimented with meth at age 12, is an underperformer academically, and does not think meth is harmful to his health.
A new type of meth on the market is known as Strawberry Quick. It is tinted red and flavored with strawberry.
High-intensity meth users are the addicts often called speed freaks. Their primary goal is to prevent their inevitable crash (coming down from a methamphetamine high). However, a meth user who is tweaking will experience declining euphoria each time they ingest the drug due to their increased tolerance.
Large amounts of meth may cause a dangerously elevated body temperature as well as convulsions and even cardiovascular collapse and death.
