About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Living in a meth lab can cause damage the brain, liver, kidneys and spleen and can also cause cancer.
When a meth addict enters into treatment their detox period may be longer than others (i.e. cocaine, marijuana) because the addict will typically crash which is a forced sleep that can sometimes last for days.
It is estimated that over 10 million people have tried meth at least once in their lifetime.
The drug’s effects are similar to those of cocaine but longer lasting. Crystal Meth can cause erratic, violent behavior among its users. Effects include suppressed appetite, interference with sleeping behavior, mood swings and unpredictability, tremors and convulsions, increased blood pressure, irregular heart rate. Users may also experience homicidal or suicidal thoughts, prolonged anxiety, paranoia and insomnia. 
A meth user who is tweaking experiences intense drug cravings. However, no dosage will recreate the euphoric high they are looking for.
