About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

The high-intensity amphetamine users of the 60s had such aggressive behavior, volatile tempers, physical exhaustion and profound weight loss that the warning "speed kills" was created.
Meth addiction costs Americans an estimated $484 billion each year. This amount includes healthcare costs (and abuses of that system), lost job wages, traffic accidents, crime and the associated criminal justice system costs.
Recent studies by the Monitoring the Future Survey shows that meth use among teens appears to have dropped from 4.7% in 1999 to 1.2% in 2009.
Meth addiction signs include changes in the users skin. It might look like they have bad acne on the arms, face and neck. Also, their hands and nails may appear to be in very bad shape.
Crystal meth acts on the dopamine receptors in the brain preventing its reuptake, thus allowing an abnormal amount of dopamine circulation in the body. The dopamine stimulates brain cells and at the same time, enhancing body actions and mood. Other body activities that can be affected with the use of crystal meth are appetite suppressant, heart rate, body temperature and response associated with alertness.
