My Understanding Of Meth

Understanding Meth: By Kevin Henry

It may not be clear for a "normy" to quite understand the dangers that meth can do to our younger generation. However I'm writing this to help those understand the real harm crystal meth does to anyone on it, as I've experienced. We need to help people realize the dangers of this drug and how it effects our society. It causes users to be mentally unstable and do the unthinkable, like turning into petty thieves, drug dealers. Even worse is them learning how to make this drug. What needs to be done is clear: Look at youth at risk, come up with some sort of a plan to help the younger ones and teach them the dangers of meth, however if they are using meth you must help them, although only help them when they are able and willing to stop using. Never force them on this, let this be theirs and only their decision. Users start a very un healthy life style by starting drugs also even more so when you start meth. Users can Lose interest in showering on a daily basis and barely change there cloths-"in my experience". You can think that there are voices in your head, and then you start flailing which soon becomes a sport and a very regular thing. Most of the time you can experience insomnia and have sleep disturbances when your clean so your reduced to pharmaceuticals so you can sleep at night and experience depression from the drug and a verity of other mental effects as a result of using crystal meth, although when your using it can be that you don't sleep at all. Meth users can be completely numb to everything around them, and users just wonder for days on end with no meaning in there lives! This drug is made in what's called a clandestine laboratories and can be very dangerous to those who make it and to those who come across them. The other symptoms I came across are as followed, excessive talking, no appetite at all, your heart rate goes up, you stay up longer so now you think you have a general sense of yourself and your well being. In this you may experience different types of mental health issues this can lead to different types of brain damages. Many other physical effects are tremors, hyperthermia which can lead to convulsions, irritability uncontrolable aggression. Users can go through a "binge and crash pattern", examples are you use a lot at one time and then can crash pretty hard, this can also lead to overdosing and even death. Users may think that nothing can hurt them, which leads to "super-man thinking". If on this drug for a certain amount of years you'll experience losing an absence amount of weight. So in the end it's your choice make a good one! This is all my thoughts of what I went through doing crystal meth, others might have gone through totally different stages then I did! Also I'll be adding more as time goes on. Thank you for taking your time to read my side of crystal meth!

Thank you for sharing.

The thing I think which makes crystal a terrible drug is how it effects your mind. Yes, any users who knows anything about the drug must be living a self destructive lifestyle. Depressing, really. It alters the way you think and that's not something that is easily fixed when you decide you want to quit.
