REAL STORIES
"With chronic use, tolerance for meth can develop. In an effort to intensify the desired effects, users may take higher doses of the drug, take it more frequently, or change their method of drug intake."

I have a group of friends, there was seven of us. None of us knew that Idaho was really a big meth place, until my two best friends started doing different drugs. It first started out as Nines and Dmx, all those cough medicine pills, then weed. After they got sick of the weed and all those other pills one of them went to meth....We didn't know he was doing it til his body changed, he got skinny and he smelled way bad. His girlfriend (my other best friend) yeah they were dating. She was so scared he was going to get caught, well he did. Now he's in rehab somewhere in Montana and right before he went, he texted his girlfriend. Me and her were together then and it said "I can already feel my insides being ripped out of me, I'm slowly suffocating." Me and her broke down and cried. It still hurts and it always will. It just didn't affect him! It affected his family and his friends! And we didn't even do the drug and it's tearing us apart. I hate meth and all those other drugs. It kills...
