About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

When a person is using meth, parts of their brain become damaged including the areas responsible for memory, judgment, impulse control, and mood states.
Meth effects take place quickly creating rapid pleasurable feelings that are then followed by feelings of depression and irritability when the drug wears off.
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."
Crystal Meth is a central nervous system stimulant and is very, very addictive. Nearly half of first time crystal meth users and more than 3/4 of second time crystal meth users report addiction-like cravings. 
The drug’s effects are similar to those of cocaine but longer lasting. Crystal Meth can cause erratic, violent behavior among its users. Effects include suppressed appetite, interference with sleeping behavior, mood swings and unpredictability, tremors and convulsions, increased blood pressure, irregular heart rate. Users may also experience homicidal or suicidal thoughts, prolonged anxiety, paranoia and insomnia.
