Meth addicts often have little regard for personal hygiene. They may not brush their teeth or take showers for extended periods of time.
Drug users take meth in different ways depending on where they live and their age. In San Francisco, drug users typically inject meth. In Honolulu drug users commonly smoke meth. In Phoenix, younger drug users take pills, while older drug users snort the drug.
High intensity meth users go beyond binging on the drug, they participate in what is known as tweaking. Tweaking is when the meth user has not slept in several days and is irritable and experiencing feelings of paranoia.
In 2005 Congress passed the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act as a part of the Patriot Revision Act.
Research on animals over the last 20 years shows that high doses of meth can cause damage to neuron cell-endings. Dopamine and serotonin containing neurons do not die after meth abuse, but their nerve endings ("terminals") are cut back and re-growth appears to be stunted.
