About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Meth use causes changes in the users brain. Researchers have found that the areas of the users brain most affected by meth are the areas that control memory, emotion and reward.
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.
Meth addiction can result in brain damage, fatal kidney and lung disorders, liver damage, chronic depression, paranoia and other physical and mental disorders.
It has been estimated that a typical meth "cook" teaches ten other people how to make the drug each year.
When a person is going through meth withdrawal they may alternate from wanting to sleep all the time, to not being able to sleep at all. Withdrawal symptoms can last for several weeks.
