Meth
dealers and users will tell a novice how fun it is to use: They'll get a
tremendous rush. They'll be able to stay up for hours to work, study or
party. They'll lose weight.
But there is another side to Meth use that they'll never talk about. It's
the side that can take your looks, your health, your income, and your
sanity - maybe even your life.
People who seek the rush of a Meth high are also in for a number of other
- unwanted - effects from the drug. They will also experience some or all
of the following short-term effects:
Paranoia
Moodiness
Depression
Convulsions
Hallucinations Violent

movements, twitching, jerking
Sores from

Keep
using Meth, and before long you'll have all kinds of experiences to share
with others. That is, if you are not too paranoid to talk to them.
