Because of the many different recipes for making crystal meth you can never know how the drug will effect you from use to use. While one time you may experience no adverse side effects the next time may kill you. There is no standardized way of making crystal meth.
Meth has a neurotoxic effect on the users brain. It causes severe damage to the cells that contain dopamine and serotonin.
Red P is a common meth cooking method using red phosphorus. Red phosphorus is found in safety matches, flares and smoke bombs.
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.
Some of the physical consequences of crystal meth use for the cardiovascular system are irreversible, even if abusers manage to eventually kick the habit. Blood vessel damage in the brain has been observed among former users even years after they stopped taking the drug. Since scientists cannot yet offer any way to reduce the damage, long-term risks for stroke for these people remain higher than normal.
