Answers to your 5 BIG questions	Tick when completed
Why Are There Laws And Penalties For Meth? Meth is a class A drug under the missile of the drugs act and therefore attracts severe penalties. Manufacturing, importing, Dealing and possession for supply can lead to a life sentence. Possession of five grams of methamphetamine (A Tablespoon) is enough to warrant a conviction for possession of a supply. Those caught importing the precursors of methamphetamine without a licence can attract jail sentences of up to eight years. Possessing a pipe or utensil for smoking methamphetamine is also an offence and can result one-year jail term or a fine of up to $1000.
What Is Methanthatime? Methamphetamine is an extremely addictive, powerful stimulant. It produces wakefulness, hyperactivity, and a euphoric effect. Methamphetamine is also known as speed, pure, P, burn, goey, crank, meth, crystal, ice, and yaba. Methamphetamine is a powerful, highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. Crystal methamphetamine is a form of the drug that looks like glass fragments or shiny, bluish-white rocks. It is chemically similar to amphetamine, a drug used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and narcolepsy, a sleep disorder. Other common names for methamphetamine include blue, crystal, ice, meth, and speed.
Who Can/Can’t Use Meth? No one can because Methamphetamine is a class A drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act and therefore attracts severe penalties. Manufacturing, importing, dealing and possession for supply can lead to a life sentence. Possession of five grams of methamphetamine (a teaspoon) is enough to warrant a conviction for possession for supply. Those caught importing the precursors of methamphetamine (pseudoephedrine and ephedrine) without a license can attract jail sentences of up to eight years. Possessing a pipe or utensil for smoking methamphetamine is also an offense and can result in a one-year jail term or a fine of up to $1000.
How does meth lead to poor mental health outcomes? Methamphetamine – or simply, meth – is a central nervous system stimulant drug that can lead to severe social, occupational, legal, and health consequences. Aside from a spectrum of potential physical health concerns, meth users frequently experience co-occurring mental health issues. The symptoms of meth addiction can exacerbate the symptoms of co-occurring mental health conditions—including anxiety and depression. A co-occurring mental health disorder can complicate a user’s ability to get help and stay sober if they are not getting integrated treatment, i.e., dual diagnosis interventions that aim to address both conditions simultaneously. Users may feel they are blocking troublesome psychiatric symptoms by using meth (i.e., self-medicating) and this erroneous thought process makes it difficult to stop using the drug.
What are the Short And Long Term Effects of Meth use? SHORT-TERM EFFECTS Loss of appetite Increased heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature Dilation of pupils Disturbed sleep patterns Nausea Bizarre, erratic, sometimes violent behavior Hallucinations, hyperexcitability, irritability Panic and psychosis Convulsions, seizures, and death from high doses LONG-TERM EFFECTS Permanent damage to blood vessels of heart and brain, high blood pressure leading to heart attacks, strokes, and death Liver, kidney, and lung damage Destruction of tissues in the nose if sniffed Respiratory (breathing) problems if smoked Infectious diseases and abscesses if injected Malnutrition, weight loss Severe tooth decay Disorientation, apathy, confused exhaustion Strong psychological dependence Psychosis Depression Damage to the brain similar to Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, and epilepsy
