About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

A current survey found that 45 states reported a 90% increase in Meth-related crime from 2004-2007.
The effects of meth last much longer than cocaine (another commonly abused stimulant). Meths effects last on average 10-12 hours while cocaines effects typically last approximately 45 minutes.
Meth cooks do not care about where they dispose of their toxic waste. Leftover chemicals and by-products from making meth have been discovered along highways, in parks and forests, in the ground and groundwater, and in sewer systems.
A recent study (January 2010) in the American Journal of Psychiatry took a look at patients who were suffering long-term Meth psychosis and found no relief with antipsychotic medication but responded rapidly to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT or Shock Treatment).
When a meth user initially takes the drug they feel very energetic and stimulated because their brain is working at its maximum efficiency. Meth actually makes the users feel better than ever and provides increased energy, increased sexuality, and a decreased need for food and sleep. However, their brain begins to combat the effects of the drug. It becomes tired and depleted of all the things that it needs to feel normal.
