    About this ebook

    Crystal meth, or methamphetamine, is an illegal and powerful street drug. Also known as meth, crank, chalk or speed, crystal meth first acts as a stimulant, then begins to systematically destroy the body. It causes severe health conditions and is highly addictive. Within this book, readers will learn about the long and short-term effects of crystal meth which include physical addiction, emotional addiction, expense, health problems, arrest for possession and for other drug-related crime and overdose. Personal stories of teens who used drugs seamlessly unfold and reveal the true disease which develops out of the use of meth. The very real reality of drug use is uncovered along with advice on how to deal with peer pressure when choosing to say no. There are so many reasons to avoid crystal methamphetamine and this timely and clearly written book will expose those reasons.
