Meth Addiction π Just say NO!
Methamphetamine is a powerful, highly addictive stimulant.π΅ CRAZY!
Originally,this stimulant could treat ADHD. β It can also help obese patients lose weight.
Itβs also called crystal meth or just meth.
It affects the central nervous system. It takes the form of a white, odorless, bitter-tasting crystalline powder that easily dissolves in water or alcohol.
Methβ¦I used to think it sounded kinda cool to me.
I am a chick and a workaholic. So being skinny and working nonstop sounded like a WIN-WIN! Then I found out it was addicting. Buzz-kill MUCH?
Short-term, it increases wakefulness and physical activity, decreased appetite, and increased blood pressure and body temperature.
Meth may seem like a fun idea at first, but addiction ainβt sexy!
Methamphetamine increases the amount of dopamine in the brain, which is involved in the movement, motivation, and reinforcement of rewarding behaviors.
