About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

A majority of meth addicts recover from their addiction with little to no follow up issues. However, over 25% of patients have psychotic symptoms lasting more than 6 months after they have stopped using meth.
In the US, a typical meth lab employs something called the 'Red, White, and Blue Process', which entails hydrogenation of the hydroxyl group on the ephedrine or pseudoephedrine molecule.
Meths effects are much longer lasting than the effects of cocaine, however their costs are similar. Because they cost about the same but meths effects last longer it is sometimes called the "poor mans cocaine."
The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs collects client data from all publicly monitored treatment providers in California. The data for the California State Fiscal Year 2001-2002 through State Fiscal Year 2004-2005 shows the percentage of clients admitted with a primary meth problem increased from 26.2%to 34% of all clients.
In 2006, a survey carried out by the National Survey of drug use and health noted that 5.77% of the US population over twelve years has used meth sometime in their life. The following year, Monitoring The Future carried out a similar survey among high schools which showed that 1.8% of eighth graders, 2.8% of tenth graders, and 3.0% of twelfth graders reported lifetime use of methamphetamine. In 2006, these percentages were 2.7%, 3.2%, and 4.4%, respectively. Women tend to use crystal meth more than they would use cocaine.
