Leading the Way

Methamphetamine is the most powerful drug of choice. It speeds up the nervous system and begins causing lasting damage from the first use. Meth is cheap and easy to manufacture from common household items. Many of the ingredients are poisonous, like drain cleaner and lye.

Meth users suffer the same addiction, binge and withdrawal cycle that cocaine addicts experience.

There is a greater chance of suffering a heart attack, stroke or serious brain damage with Meth than with other drugs. It is far more dangerous than the Meth which was popular back in the 1950s and '60s. Today's ephedrine-based Meth can kill you.

It is dangerous not only for the user, but also for all those who come in contact with a user.
