Crystal Meth (methamphetamine) is an addictive stimulant drug that strongly activates certain systems in the brain. Methamphetamine is closely related chemically to amphetamine, but the central nervous system effects of methamphetamine are greater. Methamphetamine is made in illegal laboratories and has a high potential for abuse and dependence. Street methamphetamine is referred to by many names, such as "speed", "meth" and "chalk." Methamphetamine hydrochloride, clear chunky crystals resembling ice, which can be inhaled by smoking, is referred to as "ice", "crystal", and "glass".

There are over a million current nonmedical users of stimulatns in the country, and about half of those are attributed directly to methamphetamine. Crystal meth addiction leads to prolonged periods without adequate rest or nutrion, and paranoia and hallucinations often set in. Some of these hallucinations may include the feeling of bugs crawling on them so you will often see meth users with scabs and sores on their bodies. Crystal meth addiction is one of the most devastating substance abuse situations around in terms of the physical and mental damage caused by this drug.
