When a meth user initially takes the drug they feel very energetic and stimulated because their brain is working at its maximum efficiency. Meth actually makes the users feel better than ever and provides increased energy, increased sexuality, and a decreased need for food and sleep. However, their brain begins to combat the effects of the drug. It becomes tired and depleted of all the things that it needs to feel normal.
During the meth cooking process any harsh liquids that are dumped or spilled will remain as residue for a long time. This includes when meth waste is dumped down bathtubs, toilets and sinks.
Children who grow up in or near meth labs are in danger of suffering child neglect, acid burns and respiratory problems from exposure to toxic chemicals.
Crystal meth is damaging to many areas of the body -- including the brain, kidneys and liver -- but the heart damage can be extensive. Its use can cause symptoms such as irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), rapid pulse, high blood pressure, inflammation of the small blood vessels near the brain and/or inflammation of the heart lining (endocarditis).
Some people abuse meth because they believe that it can strengthen their libido.
