Crystal Meth Effects 

Effects Of Meth

Methamphetamine is an addictive stimulant that is closely related to amphetamine, but actually has more outstanding and toxic effects on the central nervous system. Meth can be used numerous ways, it can be snorted, swallowed, injected, or smoked, and it is often taken in a mixture with other drugs.

Meth abuse can have devastating health effects leading to medical, mental, and social consequences on an addict. Destructive health effects include memory loss, violent behavior, heart damage, undernourishment (due to lack of appetite), and severe dental problems (due to toxic inhaled meth fumes).

Meth abuse also can contribute to increased transmission of transmittable diseases, such as hepatitis and HIV/AIDS, due to lack of control and increased sense of sexual stimulation.
