About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Amphetamines similar to meth first came to America in the 1930s. Abuse of amphetamine sulfate (Benzedrine) and dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine) pills became prevalent during the 50s and 60s. These simulant medications were commonly prescribed by physicians, primarily for weight loss at which point they begin to be diverted to the illicit market.
Meth abuse can cause increased heart rate and blood pressure and irreversible damage to blood vessels in the brain, producing strokes.
With so many people addicted to meth it is no surprise that it is a highly addictive drug and users are quick to develop a tolerance to the amount they are taking.
The effects of meth last much longer than cocaine (another commonly abused stimulant). Meths effects last on average 10-12 hours while cocaines effects typically last approximately 45 minutes.
Meth abuse has spread out of the urban cities and is now a serious problem in small-town America. Current estimates state that 12-14 year olds living in small towns are 104% more likely to use meth than those who live in larger cities.
