Let’s face it, people who use meth can get hooked early on in their experimentation. Once a person is addicted it's extremely difficult to get off the drug. Indian Reservations are particularly vulnerable and are finding out about this plague.
Ingredients used to make meth include toxic chemicals that do permanent injury. Meth doesn't just affect the user; it also impacts the user's family and society as a whole. This is one drug capable of destroying lives, families and communities.
Meth causes lasting destruction, including irreversible and serious damage to the body, parents in jail and kids in foster homes, and serious environmental damage from toxic chemicals in communities where meth is made.
