Crystal Meth Facts

Meth is also known as crank, chalk, crystal, tweak, speed and ice just to list a few.

When meth labs are discovered in private residences it is up to the state and local police to handle the clean-up. Cleaning up meth labs requires specialized training and costs an average of $2,000-$4,000 per site in funds. These expenses are a strain on the state and local polices already tight budgets.
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.

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.
