About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

A recent study of meth addicts who are HIV-positive indicated that HIV causes greater neuronal injury and cognitive impairment for addicts in this group compared with HIV-positive people who do not use meth.
Users who take meth habitually build a tolerance to the drugs effects. This causes them to take more or even change the method of how they take the drug (i.e. snorting meth to smoking meth to increase their rush).
In 2006 there were an estimated 2.4 million current (past month) meth users over the age of 12. This is the same as in 2005.
It was not until the 1990's traces of crystal meth addiction became widespread again.  Today as law enforcement work towards eradicating the black market supply of crystal meth, they have upgraded this drug as a class An illegal substance and have since amended the punishment for those being caught with illegal supply of crystal meth to face at least seven years imprisonment.
After using ice crystal meth over a period of time, dopamine becomes depleted and meth addiction patients develop Parkinson like symptoms. Moreover the use of cocaine produce euphoria up to about 20 minutes, compared to ice crystal meth which produce euphoria for more than 12 hours.
