Facts

  • The psychological effects of crystal meth are the same as for the regular powder form of methamphetamine, although the side effects of violence and hostility are often more severe.
  • Research indicates that a brain process known as long-term potentiating, or LTP, has been shown to be blocked in the brains of rats who were given as little as a single dose of morphine, which continued to be blocked 24 hours later in some instances.
  • Methamphetamine may dry mucosa which may then lead to more chafing and abrasions in the genital area, which could make methamphetamine users more susceptible to HIV during sexual activity.
  • While methadone is commonly used to detoxify heroin addicts, most heroin addicts are still extremely likely to return to heroin use.
