Methaphetamine
Slang - speed,
meth, crystal, crank, ice
Get the facts.
Methamphetamine affects your brain. In
the short term meth causes mind and mood changes such as anxiety, euphoria
and depression. Long term effects can include chronic fatigue, paranoid
or delusional thinking and permanent psychological damage.
Methamphetamine affects your body. Over "amping' on
any type of speed is pretty
risky. Creating a false sense of energy, these
drugs push the body faster and further than it is
meant to go. It increases
the heart rate, blood pressure and risk of stroke.
Methamphetamine affects your self-control. Meth
is a powerfully addictive drug that
can cause aggression and violent or
psychotic behavior.
