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."

When I was 12, I found my older sister in the fetal position on the floor of her bedroom, screaming and crying at the same time. She kept saying that "they" were going to kill her and she just wanted it to stop. She was very pale and smelled pretty bad. She had huge gashes all across her arms and legs and face. I told my parents and they took her to a hospital. The doctors told us that she had been on meth for at least a year. I don't know how I couldn't have noticed it, now that I think of it, it was pretty obvious. She went into rehab and was clean for at long time, she had a family and a job, but last year, she started on meth again. I know it was not a good choice for her and she has run away from home. I pray that she will return soon.
We love you Mandy, please, please, come back to us.
