What is Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine is a synthetic drug , commonly produced in clandestine laboratories, and used as a brain stimulant. The drug can create a false sense of joy, well-being, self-confidence and happiness.

In general, the substance can be produced in tablet, powder or crystal format . As it has several types, the way the drug is consumed is different, and can be ingested, inhaled, smoked or even injected into the bloodstream. 

Composition and aspects of Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine can be found in various formats, the appearance will depend on the way it is manufactured and how it is used. It is an artificial drug commonly produced in clandestine laboratories, where it is mixed with other chemical elements, such as cold pills, to make methamphetamine stronger.

Users can use it diluted in liquid and in the form of a white powder, which can be snorted, ingested or injected with syringes . Methamphetamine can also be transformed into methamphetamine hydrochloride, a crystallized version of the drug, which makes it smokable, considered the most addictive type. 

Important: regardless of the form of consumption, all users develop a tendency towards the drug.

Effects of Methamphetamine on the body

The effects of methamphetamine on the body are very similar to those of crack, cocaine or heroin . The main effects are: sudden euphoria; feeling of joy; hyperactivity; insomnia; accelerated speech and excess energy. 

Other behavioral changes are also noticeable: irritability; impairment of judgment; intense sweating; chills and extreme feeling of omnipotence.

The worrying physical effect that the drug can have is on blood circulation, promoting contraction of the arteries and reducing the oxygenation of cells. Furthermore, it is possible to develop cardiac arrhythmias or even heart attacks.

The false sensation of energy generated by methamphetamine during its action can result in serious complications, however, when the effect of the drug ends, the user feels a lack of energy, becomes depressed and returns to using more drugs. Cristal droga

Stages of Cristal droga use

The phases of methamphetamine use depend on the user’s levels of use and clinical conditions . In general, the phases are as follows:

Excitement

The excitement phase of meth can last for 30 minutes. This phase is experienced while the user smokes, ingests or injects the substance. At this time, heart rate and metabolism are elevated. 

Elevation

Known by many as “noia”, during this period the user may be aggressive, become more energetic, intelligent and talk a lot. This phase can last from 4 to 16 hours.

Tweaking

At this stage the user becomes more dangerous, the Cristal droga drug is unable to alleviate feelings of emptiness, depression and anxiety, the person loses their sense of reality and their sense of identity. This is the period where hallucinations occur and it is common for the user to think that they are being persecuted and that people are trying to kill them. Verbal and physical aggression becomes very high at this time.

Fall

This phase is marked by a long period of drowsiness, where the individual becomes practically inanimate. The fall can last about 3 days

Meth hangover

After the period of falling, the user is quite worn out, hungry, dehydrated and physically and psychologically exhausted. This phase contributes to reinforcing dependence, as the only way out is to consume more methamphetamines.

Abstinence

Abstinence is the period in which the user is without the drug, presenting a state of depression, indisposition, irritability and aggressiveness. Many drug addicts, when not treated properly at this stage, return to consuming the substance.

Short- Term Meth Side Effects

Long-term meth side effects

Long-term meth users can experience serious symptoms , some of which include sleep disturbances, an aged appearance, and cognitive impairment. Furthermore, when an individual who uses the drug for a long period decides to stop using it, they may experience bouts of anxiety and even depression.

Heavy methamphetamine use can also cause irritability, restlessness, loss of consciousness and panic attacks. In more serious cases, the user may experience convulsions and lead to death.

What is the difference between amphetamine and Cristal droga?

They have similar effects that act directly on the nervous system, however, methamphetamine is a substance derived from amphetamines and has a more powerful and also more addictive effect than amphetamine.
