About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Over the past decade the use of crystal meth had produced staggering results. A research conducted by NSDUH, noted that over 10.4 million people over 12 years have tried crystal meth at some point in their lives.
It is estimated that nearly half of all the major crimes in the United Sates can be attributed to meth and other drugs of addiction. This statistic is based on the fact that at least half of the suspects arrested for violent crimes (i.e. homicide and assault) were using meth or another drug at the time of their arrest.
Making crystal meth usually involves reducing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, found in cold and allergy medicine.
The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs collects client data from all publicly monitored treatment providers in California. The percent of individual clients under 21 years old admitted with a primary meth problem increased from 15.8 percent of admissions in State Fiscal Year 2000-2001 to 24.7 percent in State Fiscal Year 2004-2005. Further, female youth clients admitted with a primary methamphetamine problem increased from 25.8 percent in State Fiscal Year 2000-2001 to 35.7 percent in State Fiscal Year 2004-2005.
Here in the United States, some parts of the country are seeing an increase in the number of Hispanic and Native American meth users. However, whites are still the most common meth users.
