Imagine what it
would be like to no longer enjoy your favorite food, hanging out with
friends, listening to music, playing PS2, watching movies, playing sports.
Some people may tell you that using Meth is the greatest rush you'll ever
experience. Others brag about the weight they lose with the 'Jenny
Crank' diet. Before you take their word for it, learn the facts.
Meth causes long term or even permanent
changes in your brain chemistry. These changes include an impact on
dopamine - the chemical reaction that allows you to feel pleasure and
enjoyment. So far, research has found that these changes can last at
least three years after a person stops using Meth.
As for weight loss...well, you will lose
the pounds. And over time, your looks, your health, and very likely
your future. Check out the Effects
of Meth and think about it. Is it really worth it?
