Many people who are tempted to try an illegal drug go into it thinking that using the drug once or twice won’t hurt anything. This can be especially true with younger people, who still tend to think that they are invincible. They figure that getting high with their friends isn’t that much different from drinking a few beers. However, when the drug of choice is crystal meth, stop and think twice before trying it even one time.
Methamphetamine, and particularly the more potent crystal meth, is highly addictive. It is believed that a user can become addicted to meth within a very short period of time. Attracted by the feelings associated with using meth, like high energy, increased activity levels, and a lack of appetite, some people think they can use it once in awhile as a pick-me-up. In low doses, using the legal form of methamphetamine, this could be true, but most users of illegal meth are not using the medically therapeutic dosage.
