About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

When a person takes meth it increases the levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. This stimulates brain cells, enhancing mood and body movement.
Methamphetamine is popular as a stimulant. As a stimulant, methamphetamine improves concentration, energy, and alertness while decreasing appetite and fatigue.
A recent University of Arkansas study found that each meth user costs their employer $47,500 on average every year.
Females often take crystal meth because it can cause extremely rapid weight loss. However, the effects are short term. The body builds up a tolerance to the drug so weight loss tapers off and stops around six weeks after taking the drug. Also, weight that is lost is regained once a person stops taking methamphetamine. For these reasons, combined with how addictive the drug is, methamphetamine tends not to be prescribed by doctors for weight loss. 
A majority of the meth used in the United States comes from foreign or domestic super meth labs. However, a percentage of the meth abused is made in small, illegal laboratories, where its creation endangers the people in the labs, neighbors, and the environment.
