About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Clients entering treatment with a diagnosis of meth dependency or abuse rose from 1,320 in fiscal year 2005 up to 2,150 in fiscal year 2008.
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health in 2008 shows that from 2002 to 2008, past-month use of methamphetamine declined significantly among youths aged 12 to 17, from 0.3% to 0.1%, and young adults aged 18 to 25 also reported significant declines in past-month use, from 0.6% in 2002 to 0.2% in 2008.
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).
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.
The United States has seen an increase in meth addiction cases because the drug is easily produced, inexpensive to buy, widely available and easy to use.
