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 never, thank God, taken meth. I am a 5th grade teacher in a very low income area. I see my students talking about their meth addicted parents, meet parents with no teeth and scars on their faces from past (or current) use, and I'm terrified. I look through these stories of kids who started using at 12 and I think, those are my kids, only 1 year from now. I thank God that you have these horrifying commercials on TV, radio, and magazines. Some people think they are gross, too harsh. But it's a miracle. And a great day for me was today, when one of my 5th grade girls gave me a "not even once" bracelet and said "Here, this is important, you should wear this."
