About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Pieces of clear, high-purity meth (also known as ice, crystal, or glass) are smoked in a small pipe, much as crack cocaine is smoked.
During the 1970s meth production was centered in clandestine labs throughout the Western and Southwestern United States. During this time period disputes over control of the illegal methamphetamine market became responsible for the kind of gang-related violence once restricted to the cocaine trade.
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health in 2008 showed that the number of past-month meth users age 12 and older decreased by over half between 2006 and 2008. The same survey found that current (past-month) users were numbered at 731,000 in 2006, 529,000 in 2007, and 314,000 in 2008.
It was not until the 1990's traces of crystal meth addiction became widespread again.  Today as law enforcement work towards eradicating the black market supply of crystal meth, they have upgraded this drug as a class An illegal substance and have since amended the punishment for those being caught with illegal supply of crystal meth to face at least seven years imprisonment.
Here in the United States meth is a schedule II drug. This means that it has a high potential for abuse and very limited medical use.
