About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

When a meth user takes meth it causes the over-release of dopamine. As the user takes more and more meth their brain becomes depleted of dopamine. They can no longer feel pleasure or motivation the way they did before meth use. In short, it makes the meth user not care about anything but taking the drug.
Signs of a meth lab include: A strong smell of urine or unusual chemical smells such as ether, ammonia or acetone; a large amount of cold tablet containers that list ephedrine or pseudoephedrine as ingredients; coffee filters containing a white pasty substance, a dark red sludge, or small amounts of shiny white crystals; bottles or jars with rubber tubing attached; glass cookware or frying pans containing a powdery residue.
When meth is snorted it creates an euphoric sensation, but not a rush like injecting or smoking the drug does.
Crystal Meth looks like clear crystal chunks, similar in appearance to actual ice or glass. Crystal Meth is odorless and colorless. 
In 2002 there were 2.0 million current (past month) meth users.
