About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

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.
What does meth look like? It is often a white or yellowish crystalline powder. Sometimes it appears as a large hard rock. The drug is odorless and has a bitter taste.
When a drug user initially takes meth the drug sends a message to the pleasure center in their brain. They will feel alert, full of energy and self-confident because their brain is releasing dopamine - a brain chemical that carries messages between brain cells.
Meth use can be broken down into three patterns of abuse: low intensity, binge, and high intensity meth use.
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.
