About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health in 2008 shows that from 2002 to 2008, past-month use of methamphetamine declined significantly among youths aged 12 to 17, from 0.3% to 0.1%, and young adults aged 18 to 25 also reported significant declines in past-month use, from 0.6% in 2002 to 0.2% in 2008.
Crystal meth acts on the dopamine receptors in the brain preventing its reuptake, thus allowing an abnormal amount of dopamine circulation in the body. The dopamine stimulates brain cells and at the same time, enhancing body actions and mood. Other body activities that can be affected with the use of crystal meth are appetite suppressant, heart rate, body temperature and response associated with alertness.
Making meth is fairly easy if you know what to look for. Typically, the ingredients used to make meth in clandestine meth labs are generally household products that by themselves present little danger, but when combined can have serious toxic and explosive effects.
Meth use causes changes in the users brain. Researchers have found that the areas of the users brain most affected by meth are the areas that control memory, emotion and reward.
