About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Methamphetamine is popular as a stimulant. As a stimulant, methamphetamine improves concentration, energy, and alertness while decreasing appetite and fatigue.
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health in 2008 shows that from 2002 to 2008, past-month use of methamphetamine declined significantly among youths aged 12 to 17, from 0.3% to 0.1%, and young adults aged 18 to 25 also reported significant declines in past-month use, from 0.6% in 2002 to 0.2% in 2008.
Dangerous side effects of meth use include an elevated body temperature, skin ulcerations and infections, paranoia, depression, and permanent damage to brain cells.
The harmful chemicals used to create meth include toluene, iodine, red phosphorus (used in road flares), sodium hydroxide, lithium/sodium metal, hydrochloric acid, anhydrous ammonia (a fertilizer), drain cleaner, battery acid, lye, pool acid, and antifreeze. Many of these chemicals are severe eye, nose, and throat irritants or cause skin burns or breathing difficulty.
Like amphetamines, meth use causes increased activity, decreased appetite, and a general sense of well-being in the user. The effects of the drug can last 6 to 8 hours.
