Meth is a very stimulating drug that is typically seen as a white, bitter powder or a pill. Crystal meth has the appearance of glass fragments or shiny, bluish-white shards. It is very chemically similar to a commonly prescribed drug, amphetamine.
HOW METH HOOKS YOU
Methamphetamine is very commonly abused. It is a very potent and highly addictive substance. Meth has been and remains an extremely serious problem in the United States. Much of this is due to the over-prescription of its chemical cousins, Adderall, and Ritalin. These legal prescriptions act on the same receptors in the brain. Be wary, simply because you obtain a drug legally does not mean that it is safe. Studies in the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), showed that over 12 million individuals (Which is over 4.7 percent of the entire United States population) have experimented with Meth at least one time.
