About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Meth addiction can cause the user to take the drug in binge cycles. They may use the drug repeatedly and go without sleep for up to two weeks at a time.
Because meth causes drastic changes in the users brain it is hard for them to stand still or focus on any one thing for an extended period of time. They may appear jittery or even frenzied and wind up speaking jumbled nonsense.
Over the past decade the use of crystal meth had produced staggering results. A research conducted by NSDUH, noted that over 10.4 million people over 12 years have tried crystal meth at some point in their lives.
An overdose of meth gives no immediate signs to users. A meth user may take a lethal dose and not realize that they have just done so until it is too late.
Amphetamines similar to meth first came to America in the 1930s. Abuse of amphetamine sulfate (Benzedrine) and dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine) pills became prevalent during the 50s and 60s. These simulant medications were commonly prescribed by physicians, primarily for weight loss at which point they begin to be diverted to the illicit market.
