About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

The high-intensity amphetamine users of the 60s had such aggressive behavior, volatile tempers, physical exhaustion and profound weight loss that the warning "speed kills" was created.
Crystal meth is damaging to many areas of the body -- including the brain, kidneys and liver -- but the heart damage can be extensive. Its use can cause symptoms such as irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), rapid pulse, high blood pressure, inflammation of the small blood vessels near the brain and/or inflammation of the heart lining (endocarditis).
Meth addiction costs Americans an estimated $484 billion each year. This amount includes healthcare costs (and abuses of that system), lost job wages, traffic accidents, crime and the associated criminal justice system costs.
Large amounts of meth may cause a dangerously elevated body temperature as well as convulsions and even cardiovascular collapse and death.
Back in 2002, over 12 million people in the US over the age of 12 reported trying meth at least once in their lifetime. Of these 12 million, over 590,000 reported having used methamphetamine in the past month.
