About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

The effects of meth last much longer than cocaine (another commonly abused stimulant). Meths effects last on average 10-12 hours while cocaines effects typically last approximately 45 minutes.
Today, meth has become more popular than cocaine among persons 18 years and younger. A recent study reported that teenagers perceive meth as safer, longer lasting and easier to buy than cocaine.
Some doctors have misdiagnosed meth addicts as Schizophrenics if they were unaware of their drug addiction. The drug makes its users appear to have the same symptoms as Schizophrenia.
Meth use causes changes in the users brain. Researchers have found that the areas of the users brain most affected by meth are the areas that control memory, emotion and reward.
In 2006 there were an estimated 2.4 million current (past month) meth users over the age of 12. This is the same as in 2005.
