Amp Up with Meth

I coach people all over the world. I'm always interested in learning more about their countries, and in checking out their perceptions of the US.

The other day I was talking to a coach I'm training in Germany. We were just chatting, and he mentioned that beer is served in all the McDonalds in Germany. I asked him about the alcoholism rate in Germany and he said not that bad, not as bad as the UK, or Russia. I asked him what he thought the rate was in the US.

He laughed and said, "Alcoholism? When we think of the US, we think of drugs."

And meth is now the #1 choice in US.

Today's guest article outlines what you can expect ...

"Amp Up With Meth: Experience Psychotic Behavior, Paranoia, Aggression, Delusions, Stroke, Weight Loss, Brain Damage &Death"

Methamphetamine can be smoked, snorted, taken by mouth, and injected.

Meth comes in a powder form that resembles granulated crystals and in a rock form known as “ice,” which is the smokable version of methamphetamine that came into use duringthe 1980s.

The effects of methamphetamine can last up to 12 hours. Side effects include convulsions, dangerously high body temperature, stroke, cardiac arrhythmia, stomach cramps, and shaking.

During these Meth binges, users will inject as much as a gram of methamphetamine every 2 to 3 hours over several days until they run out of the drug or are too dazed to continue use.

Health Effects: The effects of methamphetamine use can include, besides addiction, psychotic behavior and severe brain damage.

Methamphetamine is highly addictive and users trying to abstain from use may suffer withdrawal symptoms that include depression, anxiety, fatigue, paranoia, aggression, and intense cravings for the drug.

Effects on the Brain: Use of methamphetamine can cause damage to the brain that is detectable months after the use of the drug. The damage to thebrain caused by methamphetamine use is similar to damage causedby Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and epilepsy. Chronic Meth users will experience out-of-control rages that result in violent behavior, anxiety, confusion, insomnia, psychotic behavior including auditory hallucinations (hearing things), mood disturbances, delusions, and paranoia, possibly resulting in homicidal or suicidal thoughts.

Psychotic symptoms can sometimes persist for months or years after use has ceased.

This is a nasty piece of work waiting for your children to discover it.
