What are dangers of making methamphetamine?

Meth is a very addictive illegal drug that wreaks havoc on your nervous system. The short term affects may feel good, but the long term effects of using meth is absolutely horrific.

According to the link below from Health Canada, methamphetamine can cause either panic attacks for some people or a surge in adrenaline which can make a person more talkative, stronger or "smarter" than he/she normally would sober. Long term affects include skin lesions from people picking at "meth bugs" that they feel crawling under their skin (literally), severe tooth decay, loss of weight (often to the point of emaciation), a constant feeling of being tense and/or anxious, high blood pressure, high heart rate, and repetitive movements (similar to those that have OCD [Obsessive Compulsive Disorder]).

Meth is also detrimental to a developing fetus. Mothers who take meth have a higher risk of miscarriages, and also have a much poorly-developed baby because of the way meth causes a decrease in appetite, which can inhibit normal fetal growth.

Overdoses on this narcotic will result in death.
