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 never thought I would try meth. I do have to say I quit on my own. But it was really hard, the cravings. It's like when you take your first snort of meth it is such a great high!! Makes you feel sexual and lose your inhibitions! I started doing crysal meth when I was 27 and I continued until I was 32. I almost died once, ended up in the hospital with nitro patches on my heart. Before that happened, I used and used and didn't eat, didn't drink water drank beer and pop. It is such a scary drug, it makes you lose all your inhibitions, have unprotected sex. I am so glad, that they are doing this Idaho Meth Project. I know people who have died, been arrested for being a big time dealer, I have seen it wreck lives, I seen it wreck my sister's life, her kids were destroyed, her sons ended up in prison until they were 29/27. Sad my sister is 51 and she lost all of her teeth from doing meth and she looks really old. This is a horrible drug. I would say as a previous user, not even once. It feels too good, and all you do is want to get that next high. I have seen meth heads who have picked at their skin until they bled, because they thought bugs were crawling on them. I wish we could just somehow take these drugs off the street.
