Methamphetamine, also known as speed, ice, crystal and meth, is a highly addictive drug. It allows the user to stay awake for long periods, reduces appetite and keeps the user “high” for a relatively long time. It also is extremely dangerous with potentially lethal short-term and long-term effects. This program includes the dramatic story of a young woman who tries “meth” for the first time, and the tragic life-altering consequences of that act. Interviews with individuals whose lives have been affected by methamphetamine abuse, lend a peer group reality to the program.
