About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

The rush or high a meth user experiences is due to the release of very high levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine into the parts of their brain that controls feelings of pleasure.
There are been reports of meth users eating or chewing the drug. Users will put the meth on paper or food or even chew it in their mouth.
Meth addiction can cost the addict and society. In 2005 the cost of foster care for children from a meth-related placement averaged $3,859,836 (183x$21,092).
A meth users mental state of mind often changes quickly. Addicts who abuse this drug habitually may show signs similar to schizophrenics and people with obsessive compulsive disorders.
Crystal meth activates the central nervous system and stimulates the production of two neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and dopamine.At low doses, it boosts alertness and blocks hunger and fatigue. At high doses it produces a "rush" feeling of euphoria that can last for more than twelve hours.
