Presentation transcript:

Females often take crystal meth because it can cause extremely rapid weight loss. However, the effects are short term. The body builds up a tolerance to the drug so weight loss tapers off and stops around six weeks after taking the drug. Also, weight that is lost is regained once a person stops taking methamphetamine. For these reasons, combined with how addictive the drug is, methamphetamine tends not to be prescribed by doctors for weight loss. Some people take meth because of the long-lasting high that it gives. Methamphetamine causes numerous neurotransmitters to be released in the brain, producing a sense of euphoria that may last as long as 12 hours, depending on how the drug was taken.

Methamphetamine is popular as a stimulant. As a stimulant, methamphetamine improves concentration, energy, and alertness while decreasing appetite and fatigue. Methamphetamines are also taken by people who are feeling depressed. They may be taken for their side effect of increasing libido and sexual pleasure. **IT IS THE MOST USED DRUG, NEXT TO MARIJUANA, AMONG YOUTH**

Because of how it's made, crystal meth is never pure, so the dangers associated with taking the street drug extend beyond these effects. IMMEDIATE EFFECTS Euphoria Increased energy and alertness Diarrhea and nausea Excessive sweating Loss of appetite, insomnia, tremors, jaw-clenching Agitation, irritability, talkativeness, panic, compulsive fascination with repetitive tasks, violence, confusion Increased libido Increased blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate, blood sugar levels, bronchodilation Constriction of the walls of the arterties In pregnant and nursing women, methampetamine crosses the placenta and is secreted in breast milk
