CONCLUSION:
The drug methamphetamine is very detrimental for an individual to use. Its overall rating is a 4, a very strong impact! The short term effects, long term effects, addictiveness and withdrawal for the drug are very harmful and can be extremely life threatening. The short term effects include constriction of the walls of the arteries, cardiac arrest, muscle breakdown (which can lead to kidney damage or failure), strokes, and brain damage. Many of these short term effects can even result in death. Some of the long term effects are insomnia, hallucinations, seizures and fatigue; all again are permanently life altering and threatening. Methamphetamine is mentally addictive, through feeling intense depression and violent rages, and physically addictive, through a person’s heart rate rising and their appetite decreasing. The drug has a very strong impact because you’re addicted to it after only one use. Withdrawal symptoms are even more severe, such as hyperventilation, shaking or tremors, and nausea.
As you can see Meth is no joking matter! It should be taken seriously because it is detrimental for a person life threatening. Therefore, the overall rating of methamphetamine is the highest level possible (4, a very strong impact.)
