About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

It has been estimated that a typical meth "cook" teaches ten other people how to make the drug each year.
The changes that take place to the users brain happen the very first time the person tries m and continue to do damage each and every time they ingest meth.
When smoked or injected ice crystal meth can produce effects within seconds. With smoking or IV ice crystal meth; there is an intense rush that lasts only for a few minutes.
Crystal meth activates the central nervous system and stimulates the production of two neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and dopamine.At low doses, it boosts alertness and blocks hunger and fatigue. At high doses it produces a "rush" feeling of euphoria that can last for more than twelve hours.
Because meth causes drastic changes in the users brain it is hard for them to stand still or focus on any one thing for an extended period of time. They may appear jittery or even frenzied and wind up speaking jumbled nonsense.
