About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

An estimated 8.3% of the population ages 12 and older were current (past month) drug (meth included) users in 2006.
Signs of a meth lab include: A strong smell of urine or unusual chemical smells such as ether, ammonia or acetone; a large amount of cold tablet containers that list ephedrine or pseudoephedrine as ingredients; coffee filters containing a white pasty substance, a dark red sludge, or small amounts of shiny white crystals; bottles or jars with rubber tubing attached; glass cookware or frying pans containing a powdery residue.
A meth user may appear to be somewhat normal at first. However, if you look closely you will notice eye movement ten times faster than normal, a voice with a slight quiver and jerky body movements.
The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs collects client data from all publicly monitored treatment providers in California. The percentage of Caucasian clients with meth as their primary problem decreased steadily from 61.4 percent in State Fiscal Year 2000-2001 to 55.1 percent in State Fiscal Year 2004-2005. Further, the percent of Hispanic clients with a primary meth addiction problem increased steadily from 26 percent in State Fiscal Year 2000-2001 to 35.7 percent in State Fiscal Year 2004-2005.
A current survey found that 45 states reported a 90% increase in Meth-related crime from 2004-2007.
