Crystal Meth destroyed my first marriage. My ex husband is addicted to it. When he was high he would cheat and he even hurt me a few times. He abandoned our two children and my son is an angry child now. He just recently started using again and went back to prison. This time around he has abandoned a new wife and a new son. Crystal Meth is a horrible thing to mess with and I suggest you never do.

some people feel the need to make thier problems go away by not facing them. The only problem is they dont relize once the drugs have wore off the problem is still there but worse, so they do more drugs. And some people just like the energy some drugs can give them and the feeling of having control of there life (even though they obviously dont have control...the drugs do. And the amazing feeling you can get after smoking a big fat one.

I personally have never done meth, but my dad was a tweeker, my aunt is a tweeker, and so where two of my best friends. The town I'm from is a meth town. It runs rampant in the oilfield. It allows you to stay up hours on end until the job is done. (They don't shut down for to much) The effects are a lack of sleep and an increase in energy. Depending on how long they have been up and how much they have smoked, they will start seeing hallucinations. You get really board and have to find stuff to do. Like my two friends would clean your cars motor with Q-tips. Just because it would keep them busy. When they went to jail they both weighed in at about a hundred pounds. And one of them was about 280 lbs. in high school. This is because most people can't stand to eat when they are spun. They have a loss of appetite. From what I understand Meth makes you feel like your on top of the world, because you have this new found energy. Meth is bad because it's highly addictive. People will steal your shit to support their habit. It has overtaken heroin as the most addictive drug from what I understand. They have also declared Meth as an epidemic. Crazy huh. It now has the highest relapse rate. Parents will often loose their kids due to it and they don't even care. It also crystalizes your lungs. And forms divots in your brain from what I've heard. It's commonly refered to as the devil's drug. My dad has been sober for over 8 years now. And everytime he gets tired at work, he thinks oh man I wish I had an 8 ball, I'd be ganked then and could easily finish this job. Good luck with your report, I hope I helped a little.

I dunno about pain killers, but I was addicted to meth for years, and I kept it a secret from everyone too. That is a big mistake. Once you tell someone and you have their support it is so much easier to beat. Don't do it alone. Yeah, telling my boyfriend was scary, but not as scary as killing myself. Get them to go with you to get medical attention. It takes a lot of weight off your shoulders. (but don't put it on theirs!) It feels wicked good to be honest. And just remember even if things suck for you now, it'll get better. Good luck! You rock!

An Ability to Resist.

Depends on the person, strong minded people could try heroin once and walk away or some can be a functioning addict.  Get up all week and go to work then binge on coke all weekend but be A-ok monday morning.  A weak minded person will get caiught up in this, lose their job, sell all their things and turn on everyone.  I have seen it a lot too.  Its very hard to understand. Same reason some people can gamble and not get addicted. Just depends

Methamphetamine, street name, Crystal Meth.  And now is converted into Ice, like Crack, just made from Meth, not Cocaine.\n\nThe high is intense, you don't eat, barely sleep, crave SEX and your brain is in high gear, your heart will race.\n\nThis is so addictive.  More addictive than heroin.  When it first hit the scene back in the late 80's I tried it. and craved it, and if my dealer wouldn't have got busted probably died from it.\n\nIt dehydrates your body, the lack of sleep makes you nuts, you can lose teeth and your hair and skin looks and feel awful.\n\nBecause it is made using lovely things like chemicals and petroleum products in addition to the speed used (like sudaephidrine) it is also inherently dangerous.  You never know when the backyard chemist that cooked it has screwed up until you are dead from it.\n\nI would never use it again, nasty nasty stuff.  Do yourself a favor and stay away from it, or be prepared for it to take over you life.

Methamphetamine, a synthetic drug known as 'crystal meth', 'ice' or 'Tina', is even more addictive than crack cocaine or heroin.\n\nIn high doses, methamphetamine causes irritability, insomnia, confusion, hallucinations, anxiety, paranoia and increased aggression. In even higher doses, hypothermia and convulsions can cause death.\n\nWhen the body is stimulated by methamphetamine, the drug can cause irreversible damage. The increased heart rate and blood pressure damage blood vessels in the brain, which can cause strokes, or irregular heart beat, which can cause cardiovascular collapse and death. By vastly increasing the release of dopamine, methamphetamine appears to damage brain cells, eventually reducing the amount of dopamine available to the brain, causing symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease and severe depression, or both.

The major difference between methamphetamines and amphetamines is the manufacture and strength. Methamphetamines are more potent than amphetamines.

I have a better one for you.  Why would anyone want to make meth and do time in a Federal Prison?  Are people still not realizing that it is against the law?

I'm sure the fact that nicotine is more addictive than crack cocaine and crystal meth has a lot to do with it.

3-5 days, maximum...But let me tell you something, do a search for:  Faces Of Meth on the net.  They are no joke.  Sure you might piss clean after a few days.  But if you keep screwing around with meth, not only will you not care about any more urine screens but it won't even matter because the meth will show up VISUALLY all over your face and body.  I've seen it on everybody that I know that uses the junk...it's because the ingrediants are so toxic that not only does it poison your brain, but it totally breaks down your body.  Hopefully you will stop using that sh*t, if not then I, along with most other people, won't even respect you enough to answer your questions seriously anymore.  Meth addicts are a total waste of space.  Do your brain, body, and face a favor and quit that shit.

Am I reading this right? A pot head is waging war on a meth head?! I never thought this sort of reasoning would make it farther than the 'idea' having moment during a toking. You got more tar in your head than you do brains. And yes, Meth addicts DO need jail time. Every one of them made a clear and concious decision to pick up that hot rail, needle or pipe to smoke crystal when they started and the time it took to become 'uncontrolably' addicted, so they accepted the risks. Besides, MOST users sell, they keep cutting some out every time it exchanges hands, so lock 'em up!! And I can't belive someone is trying to defend the 'poor' addicts. What and idiot you are Cripple play!!!

Many of your cold medicines, many of which are becoming "behind the counter-over the counter meds". Most of these are decongestants that do contain amphetamines and our purchased in large quantity by cookers to extract the amphetamine to make meth.
