About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

When a meth user comes down from a binge on the drug they will experience depression, paranoia and aggression. These mood disturbances, strange thoughts and odd behavior may last for days, weeks or even longer depending on how out of touch with reality the drug user has become during their meth binge.
Meths effects are somewhat different depending on how the drug is taken. When meth is smoked or injected the user will experience a strong sensation, resembling a vibration or 'rush', which weakens within a few minutes. When meth is snorted or swallowed the user will experience a temporary euphoria.
A current research study found that that meth starts an unnatural chemical reaction that leads to a protein change in the users body. This process creates compounds that have been linked to a variety of diseases, including Alzheimer's and diabetes.
Small amounts of meth may cause increased wakefulness, increased physical activity, decreased appetite, rapid breathing and heart rate, irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure, and hyperthermia (overheating).
Meth comes in different forms: powder (typically a white, pinkish or yellowish color), pills or tablets in a variety of colors and crystal form (irregular chunks that look like ice or rock candy).
