About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

When a meth addict is on a run (continually using meth until they physically cant use it anymore or have no more money to buy more) they may inject as much as a gram of meth every two to three hours over the course of several days.
When a meth user takes meth it causes the over-release of dopamine. As the user takes more and more meth their brain becomes depleted of dopamine. They can no longer feel pleasure or motivation the way they did before meth use. In short, it makes the meth user not care about anything but taking the drug.
Meth is known to be a very aggressive drug. Users become violent and lose their ability to control their impulsive, irrational behavior.
When a person takes meth it increases the levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. This stimulates brain cells, enhancing mood and body movement.
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.
