Methamphetamine, a highly addictive stimulant with a potent effect on the central nervous system, is produced in many forms and in a variety of colors dependent upon the toxic ingredients used.
Meth can be snorted, smoked, swallowed or injected, and it is alarmingly popular among teens and college students.
Ease of manufacturing meth as a street drug from over-the-counter ingredients results in a great variation in the process and the chemicals used in its production. Methamphetamine can be a chemical “cocktail” laced with toxic household products.

Dramatic effects from the use of meth can include violent behavior, delusions, paranoia, convulsions, cardiovascular problems, and death.
“Ice,” a smokeable crystallized chunk of meth, produces an intense reaction and can cause erratic, violent behavior.
Children who are exposed to the methamphetamine manufacturing process in clandestine labs face danger and serious consequences to their health, safety, and well-being.
