Crystal meth typically resembles small fragments of glass or shiny blue-white "rocks" of various sizes. www.Face2Face-system.com

Crystal Methamphetamine Facts Ingredients Crystal Meth ingredients are typically legal and useful items in their own right. These include Ephedrine-containing pills mixed together with “harmful” ingredients such as Drano, paint thinner, acetone, muriatic acid and much more. www.Face2Face-system.com

Crystal Methamphetamine Facts How is it abused? Crystal methamphetamine typically is smoked using glass pipes similar to pipes used to smoke crack cocaine. Crystal methamphetamine also may be injected. A user who smokes or injects the drug immediately experiences an intense sensation followed by a high that may last 12 hours or more. www.Face2Face-system.com

Crystal Methamphetamine Facts What are the effects? Crystal methamphetamine use is associated with numerous serious physical problems, such as rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, and damage to the small blood vessels in the brain--which can lead to stroke. Chronic use of the drug can result in inflammation of the heart lining. Overdoses can cause hyperthermia, convulsions, and death. Individuals who use crystal methamphetamine also may have episodes of violent behavior, paranoia, anxiety, confusion, and insomnia. The drug can produce psychotic symptoms that persist for months or years after an individual has stopped using the drug. www.Face2Face-system.com

"Meth mouth" characteristics include: Bruits (teeth clenching and grinding): Methamphetamine induces bruxism, leading to the wear and cracks of tooth enamel.

Hyposalivation (dry mouth): A lack of saliva's natural protective effects leads to increased tooth decay at the gum line. www.Face2Face-system.com
