About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

The drug’s effects are similar to those of cocaine but longer lasting. Crystal Meth can cause erratic, violent behavior among its users. Effects include suppressed appetite, interference with sleeping behavior, mood swings and unpredictability, tremors and convulsions, increased blood pressure, irregular heart rate. Users may also experience homicidal or suicidal thoughts, prolonged anxiety, paranoia and insomnia. 
Changes were made in 2005 with the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act. With this act, any products that contain pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine must be put behind the counter or in a locked cabinet at retail stores. Also, customers who want to buy products that contain these ingredients must sign a logbook and show I.D. for each purchase.
Authorities estimate that one ounce of meth equals about 110 meth "hits."
Crystal meth labs often have a presence of little traffic during the day, while there is a lot of traffic at night. The occupants usually are seen leaving their premises to smoke, something that cannot be done in the presence of the chemicals they are using.
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.
