In 2006, a survey carried out by the National Survey of drug use and health noted that 5.77% of the US population over twelve years has used meth sometime in their life. The following year, Monitoring The Future carried out a similar survey among high schools which showed that 1.8% of eighth graders, 2.8% of tenth graders, and 3.0% of twelfth graders reported lifetime use of methamphetamine. In 2006, these percentages were 2.7%, 3.2%, and 4.4%, respectively. Women tend to use crystal meth more than they would use cocaine.
Even though methamphetamine can be prescribed by a doctor, its medicinal uses are limited and the doses that are prescribed are much lower than those typically abused. Medical methamphetamine is a Schedule II drug and is available only through a prescription that cannot be refilled.
According to the 2007 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, about 529,000 Americans use methamphetamines, a significant chunk of the 20 million people ages 12 and over who take illicit drugs. About 5% of high school seniors have used crystal meth -- also called "crank," "tweak," "ice" or "glass," among other names -- at least once.
Crystal methamphetamine or "tina" is one of the fastest growing drugs in the gay community. To users it's short-term effects may seem mild and the initial high fantastic, but in the long run tina can be dangerous to their physical and emotional health not to mention social well-being.
Some of the solvents used in the crystal meth manufacturing process are known to pose long term hazard to the environment due to their persistence in soil and water for years.
