About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

The street drug meth is closely related chemically to amphetamines, but the central nervous system effects of meth are more intense.
In 2002, 20% of the meth labs that were raided had children present.
During the 1980's, "ice," a form of meth that can be smoked became popular.
Crystal meth acts on the dopamine receptors in the brain preventing its reuptake, thus allowing an abnormal amount of dopamine circulation in the body. The dopamine stimulates brain cells and at the same time, enhancing body actions and mood. Other body activities that can be affected with the use of crystal meth are appetite suppressant, heart rate, body temperature and response associated with alertness.
When meth is sold as a powder it can be mixed with water for injection or sprinkled on tobacco or marijuana and smoked.
