Meth Addiction

Meth addiction probably happens faster than any other drug addiction, and it doesn’t matter whether or not someone may be more inclined to become addicted than another. For this reason, someone who is already using other drugs may think that he or she, based on their past drug experiences, may mistakenly believe that “I won’t get addicted my first time”.

 

Wrong! The feelings caused by meth (the word is short for methamphetamine, for those who may not know) usage are so intense and so powerful the FIRST TIME that the drug is used, that they can never be repeated. So are the feelings that come when the drug wears off, which it does rapidly.

 

When the user “crashes”, that is, gets over the “high” that taking meth caused, the feelings of depression and the urge to take more can be as strong as if this was the tenth time rather than just the first time. The body just cannot tell the difference. The meth doesn’t care, either (if a drug can have an emotion). It doesn’t care if this is someone’s first time to ever take any drug, or to be trying meth, or what. It just goes right on causing those “really up there” highs and those “really down there” lows.

 

So, what does this tell us? It is not a drug that can be “played with”. Rarely, rarely, does anyone walk away from meth after just one time. It just doesn’t happen that often. So, why take that chance? How about this? Don’t do meth. Don’t do drugs, period. But, for sure, don’t do meth. It’s just not worth it.
