About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

There are several reasons why a person will try meth. Athletes and students may try meth because of the initial heightened physical and mental performance the drug produces.
Today, meth is less expensive and more easily attainable than cocaine. Some users even have the misconception that meth is not really a drug.
A pound of crystal meth can produce about six pounds of toxic waste. These manufacturers often pour these waster chemicals and other unwanted byproduct down drains, toilets, streams, or directly onto the ground.  
When meth is made inside a residence it can render the home uninhabitable. During the process of making meth chemical vapors permeate the walls and carpets of houses and buildings. When meth labs are discovered in private residences it is up to the state and local police to handle the clean-up. Cleaning up meth labs requires specialized training and costs an average of $2,000-$4,000 per site in funds. These expenses are a strain on the state and local polices already tight budgets.
When a meth user crashes after binging on meth they go into an agitated depression, sometimes accompanied by an urge for more meth. Eventually these feelings give way to lethargy, followed by a long deep sleep. When the meth user finally wakes their depression returns - this is a time when the potential for suicide is high.
