About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Long-term effects of Crystal Meth use can include brain damage (similar to the effects of Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease), coma, stroke or death. Chronic users may also develop distinct physical symptoms, as demonstrated by before and after pictures in the Faces of MethTM program. Signs of chronic use include weight loss, tooth decay and cracked teeth (“Meth Mouth”), psychosis and hallucinations, sores on the body from picking at skin, and formication (an abnormal skin sensation akin to "bugs crawling on skin"). 
Even after a meth lab has been discovered and those living and working there have been evacuated, toxic contamination is left behind that has to be cleaned up. Toxic contamination lingers of the labs surfaces including furniture, curtains, bedspreads, flooring, air vents, eating surfaces, and walls.
The United States has seen an increase in meth addiction cases because the drug is easily produced, inexpensive to buy, widely available and easy to use.
Some of the physical consequences of crystal meth use for the cardiovascular system are irreversible, even if abusers manage to eventually kick the habit. Blood vessel damage in the brain has been observed among former users even years after they stopped taking the drug. Since scientists cannot yet offer any way to reduce the damage, long-term risks for stroke for these people remain higher than normal.
The longer a person abuses meth, the more they need, even to the point of depriving themselves of basic needs such as food and sleep, in order to keep administering the drug to feed their addiction.
