Methamphetamine is a very addictive stimulant. Users often abuse this drug repeatedly over a short period of time and find that they become psychologically addicted to the rush they experience.
Meth use causes damage to the users physically, mentally and socially. They experience severe problems with their health, their emotional wellbeing and their interpersonal relationships with friends and family.
The T.V. series Breaking Bad is about a chemistry teacher who cooks meth. He justifies his actions because he is dying of lung cancer and financially bankrupt.
A low-intensity meth user will swallow (eat) or snort the drug primarily as an appetite suppressant or to provide extra stimulation for work or play.
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.
