About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Crystal can be in the body anywhere from 2-20 hours. However, after users start to come off the drug or "crash" they become emotionally instable and highly irritable. This can be extremely dangerous for those that suffer from depression who naturally have a difficult time regulating their moods. The drug also causes heart palpitations, blurred vision, extended wakefulness, and damage to the brain, lungs and liver. The ultimate side effect is death from overdose. 
Crystal meth highs tend to last 4-8 hours with users cycling the drug for days. Crystal users often stay awake for days on end, eating very little and staying in a heightened state of arousal that is very stressful for the body and brain. 
When a meth addict enters into treatment their detox period may be longer than others (i.e. cocaine, marijuana) because the addict will typically crash which is a forced sleep that can sometimes last for days.
Meth users who inject the drug are at risk of developing damaged blood vessels and skin abscesses.
8% of the twelfth grade males in South Dakota admitted to using meth one or more times.
