"Crystal Meth causes respiratory problems, heart palpitations, and extreme anorexia. The long term affects of meth use include cardiac arrest, and death as a result of oxygen being unable to get to the brain sufficiently. Most of the meth ingredients are in and of themselves toxic and deadly, as are the fumes that are produced when making meth."
List Of Meth Ingredients : "Drano, Brake Fluid, Lithium From Batteries (Battery Acid), Lighter Fluid, Rubbing Alcohol, Drain cleaner, Gasoline additives, Paint thinner, Freon, Camp stove fuel, White gasoline, Ammonia, Cold Remedies, Hydrochloride, Hydriodic Acid, Red Phosphorus, Lye, Ether (Starter Fluid), Iodine Ephedrine.
Crystal Meth (Also referred to as: speed, crank, ice, glass) causes the heart rate to be greatly increased and irreversibly damages blood vessels to the brain ultimately leading to strokes. The ingredients in methamphetamine are extremely toxic, corrosive and deadly."
"Methamphetamine is a member of the amphetamine class of drugs that are widely known for their central nervous system stimulation effects. These drugs are generally used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and were once widely used as appetite suppressants. They are also useful in the treatment of narcolepsy, a disease that leaves patients prone to sudden attacks of deep sleep. Unfortunately, amphetamines are among the most abused of all prescription drugs. Methamphetamine ranks at top of the list for abused amphetamines, and current trends to use this drug as a free base (ice) are leading to new problems in combating the war on drugs. Side effects of the amphetamines include irregular heartbeat, chest pain, fever, difficulty in breathing, dizziness, and increased blood pressure."
