About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Meth strongly activates the users reward system in their brain. The drug works by triggering the neurotransmitter dopamine.
Some meth users take the drug by hot railing. This is where the user snorts the drug through a super-heated glass pipe.
The cost of meth varies across the country but it is estimated that the drug costs $25 per 1/4 gram, $ 100 per gram and $1700 per ounce of meth.
The most obvious sign of meth use is rapid weight loss. The amount of weight that a person loses can vary from person to person but on average a person can lose 8 to 10 pounds a month for several months in a row.
Methamphetamine is a very addictive stimulant. Users often abuse this drug repeatedly over a short period of time and find that they become psychologically addicted to the rush they experience.
