About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

47% of the adult women in the South Dakota Dept. of Corrections between July 2007 and July 2008 admitted to using meth.
When meth is made inside a residence it can render the home uninhabitable. During the process of making meth chemical vapors permeate the walls and carpets of houses and buildings. When meth labs are discovered in private residences it is up to the state and local police to handle the clean-up. Cleaning up meth labs requires specialized training and costs an average of $2,000-$4,000 per site in funds. These expenses are a strain on the state and local polices already tight budgets.
Research has shown that meth users who smoke or snort the drug have fewer dental problems than those who take the drug intravenously.
Habitual meth abuse will lead to addictiona chronic problem characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, which is accompanied by chemical and molecular changes in the users brain.
Crystal Meth is a central nervous system stimulant and is very, very addictive. Nearly half of first time crystal meth users and more than 3/4 of second time crystal meth users report addiction-like cravings.
