Drug users began injecting amphetamines similar to meth during the 60s in order to achieve a more intense "high."
Meth users put themselves at an increased risk of contracting HIV/AIDS and other dangerous diseases due to needle sharing, rough sex, and lack of protection with condoms.
When a person stops taking meth they will experience withdrawal symptoms. Typical meth withdrawal symptoms include stomach cramps, intense hunger, headaches, shortness of breath, exhaustion and severe depression.
Drug users snort, swallow, inject or smoke meth. Each of these different ways of taking the drug creates a powerful high for the drug user but smoking or injecting the drug produce the strongest and fastest rush.
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.
