About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

When meth users repeatedly abuse meth it weakens the dopamine release mechanism in their brain causing them to rely on meth to feel normal.
High-intensity meth users are the addicts often called speed freaks. Their primary goal is to prevent their inevitable crash (coming down from a methamphetamine high). However, a meth user who is tweaking will experience declining euphoria each time they ingest the drug due to their increased tolerance.
Crystal meth increases the levels of two neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and dopamine, resulting in a high that numbs your senses and causes hyperactivity. Meth also increases stamina allowing users to party for long periods of time.
Some meth users take the drug by hot railing. This is where the user snorts the drug through a super-heated glass pipe.
Today, meth has become more popular than cocaine among persons 18 years and younger. A recent study reported that teenagers perceive meth as safer, longer lasting and easier to buy than cocaine.
