Interesting Facts and Statistics:

47% of U.S. hospitals reported Meth as the top illegal drug that is involved in emergency room visits.

Meth is a powerful stimulant drug that increases brain activity. Short term effects, lasting up to 12 hours, include increased alertness, insomnia, hyperactivity, headache, decreased appetite, irritability, aggression, anxiety, nervousness, teeth grinding, convulsions and heart attack. Chronic abuse can lead to tooth decay, acne and skin sores (speed bumps), psychotic behavior, paranoia, hallucinations, rage, extreme violence, depression, fatal kidney and lung disorders and brain damage. Babies born to meth-using moms can be born addicted to meth and suffer birth defects, low birth weight, tremors and behavior disorders.

When an individual with a history of substance abuse problems experiences a condition in which they need to be treated for pain with Vicodin, they should be closely monitored for signs of becoming addicted to the drug.

The inhalants that are known to cause irreversible hearing loss include spray paints, glues, dry cleaning chemicals and correction fluids.

No one knows for sure what the possible short and long term effects are as related to the use of bath salts because these synthetic drugs are in the experimental phases and have not yet been tested for human consumption; there is always a possibility that some of these effects could turn out to be irreversible.

Prolonged sniffing of inhalants can cause irregular heart rhythms and lead to heart failure.
