About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Due to the aggressive behavior that is commonly linked with crystal meth use, addicts are involved in criminal activity such as domestic violence, robberies and other violent activities.
Recent brain imaging scans on meth users found that abuse of this drug can cause significant injury to the users brain. While on meth, key brain chemicals become depleted and the nerve cells that create them become damaged.
Recently, meth has a new look and taste as meth cooks are now adding coloring and flavoring to the drug. Experts believe people between ages 18 to 25 are the most likely to use flavored forms of meth.
Crystal meth highs tend to last 4-8 hours with users cycling the drug for days. Crystal users often stay awake for days on end, eating very little and staying in a heightened state of arousal that is very stressful for the body and brain. 
Meth has a neurotoxic effect on the users brain. It causes severe damage to the cells that contain dopamine and serotonin.
