What is Meth The drug is called Methamphetamine or “Meth.” It is produced in clandestine laboratories. “Meth” can be easily cooked using common household chemicals made in conjunction with asthma or cold remedies sold over the counter, or in a more elaborate fashion using chemicals purchased through the Internet.
Effects on Brain“Meth” initially sends the brain a feeling of pleasure, but as the drug is abused the pleasurable feeling is lost. The “Meth” abuser suffers the same addiction cycle as crack cocaine abusers. The biggest difference, however, is that while crack binges rarely last more than 72 hours, meth binges can last up to 2 weeks. Under the effects of “Meth”, you’ll become agitated and feel “wired.” Their behavior can become very unpredictable. They can be friendly and calm one moment and turn angry and paranoid the next. The abuse of “Meth” drives most people into a depression, which leads into paranoia, and aggression.
