About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Amphetamines similar to meth first came to America in the 1930s. Abuse of amphetamine sulfate (Benzedrine) and dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine) pills became prevalent during the 50s and 60s. These simulant medications were commonly prescribed by physicians, primarily for weight loss at which point they begin to be diverted to the illicit market.
Meth users often display aggressive behavior, paranoia of friends and family, deception and lies, and many other mental disorders as a result of their meth addiction.
In 2005 Congress passed the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act as a part of the Patriot Revision Act.
Meth is also known as crank, chalk, crystal, tweak, speed and ice just to list a few.
A current survey found that 45 states reported a 90% increase in Meth-related crime from 2004-2007.
