To a lesser extent it’s also produced locally in extremely hazardous Meth labs. In these makeshift cook houses, the drug is made through a chemical process which can use a variety of highly toxic substances including lithium from batteries, sulfuric acid from drain cleaners, camping fuel, paint thinner and starter fluid to name a few.

Meth can be introduced to the bloodstream through different ways including snorting, intake of pills, being smoked or through needles. It travels to the brain and creates an intense rush that can last many hours.

The rush is caused by a sharp increase in the amount of dopamine produced by the brain’s neurotransmitters. Dopamine is what creates the sensation of pleasure.

Over time, Meth begins to destroy the brain’s pleasure receptors, rapidly reducing the effect of the drug. You now need more and more to try and chase that high...

Worse yet, as these receptors shut down it becomes difficult for the Meth user to enjoy pleasure at all.
