REAL STORIES
"With chronic use, tolerance for meth can develop. In an effort to intensify the desired effects, users may take higher doses of the drug, take it more frequently, or change their method of drug intake."

I went to a sleepover at my friend's house and her brother invited us to a high school party. We thought it would be fun. We went there, and there were all the drugs you can imagine: marijuana, crack cocaine, alcohol, tobacco, and then there's meth. My friend's brother did marijuana with his friends, and then he tried meth. He was instantly so violent that he punched my friend. He stole the meth and smuggled it into his house. My friend found it in his room and now she's an addict. Her brother is now in jail for multiple reasons. My friend murdered her parents for meth. She is now moments away from death each and everyday. I wanted to be hooked on meth so I wouldn't feel alone, but them I saw this website. Oh my gosh, it was a lifesaver. I didn't want to ditch my friend for it, so I just told my parents what has been going on for almost two years now. They took her to a program and it saved her life. She didn't do any drugs for 2 months, until her brother sexually abused her one night, and she did meth again. She had sex with people just in exchange for meth. She is now 14 and is pregnant with her 2nd meth baby. Her first one was sold for meth, and died instantly. I finally decided to ditch her. She is still doing it to this day, and I pray every waking moment for her to realize what is happening to her. I now have new friends who also HAD a friend like mine, and they never did meth. Meth is worse than getting killed, murdered, everything that bad in life all together. I recently heard on the news that she had sex with over 8 guys that night in exchange for meth, and, now she died. She committed suicide just to impress her drug dealer. Her meth baby was saved, and now lives in foster care. I wish I never went to that party with my friend, I wish I would have gone elsewhere and away from the devil. I wish I knew meth is so powerful. Oh my - it was so tragic.
