About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

When a person is using meth, parts of their brain become damaged including the areas responsible for memory, judgment, impulse control, and mood states.
Meth is known as poor mans cocaine because it generally costs the same or less than crack cocaine but metabolizes slower in the users body causing the high to last longer. Hence, more bang for your buck.
Methamphetamine is a very addictive stimulant. Users often abuse this drug repeatedly over a short period of time and find that they become psychologically addicted to the rush they experience.
Drug users began injecting amphetamines similar to meth during the 60s in order to achieve a more intense "high."
Crystal meth is damaging to many areas of the body -- including the brain, kidneys and liver -- but the heart damage can be extensive. Its use can cause symptoms such as irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), rapid pulse, high blood pressure, inflammation of the small blood vessels near the brain and/or inflammation of the heart lining (endocarditis).
