Crystal Meth Facts

The use of crystal methamphetamine can produce a series of undesirable behavioral patterns such as psychosis and aggressive behavior. Other physiological problems associated with crystal meth are increase blood pressure and heart rate, hyperthermia, convulsion and death.
Crystal methamphetamine or "tina" is one of the fastest growing drugs in the gay community. To users it's short-term effects may seem mild and the initial high fantastic, but in the long run tina can be dangerous to their physical and emotional health not to mention social well-being. 
Meth addiction can cost the addict and society. In 2005 the cost of foster care for children from a meth-related placement averaged $3,859,836 (183x$21,092).
The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs collects client data from all publicly monitored treatment providers in California. Client counts with a primary meth problem increased from 46, 1998 in State Fiscal Year 2001-2002 to 58,039 in State Fiscal Year 2004-2005. A majority of this increase in the percentage and number of clients entering treatment for meth use is due to a large increase in the number of individuals referred from the criminal justice system. Particularly those referred to rehab from the Substance Abuse Crime Prevention Act (SACPA) of 2000.
Just like other stimulants, meth is typically used in a "binge and crash" pattern.
