Methampetamine is an extremely addictive drug that causes significant brain damage. It is related to cocaine, but it is much more toxic to brain cells than cocaine. The high it produces is the result of a surge of a chemical called dopamine in the brain. dopamine is a neurotransmitter, the chemical that communicates a message from one brain cell to another.
Cocaine and methamphetamine create a huge surge in dopamine and an intense, long lasting "high." dopamine is depleted, and the "crash" after the drug wears off is intensely painful and laste a lot longer than the high. the only thing that relieves the anguish of the crash is another high.
Prevention of meth addiction involved informing all ages of the dangers of meth use through web pages, written materials, and discussion with former meth users.
