Methamphetamine And Ice (Parent Guides To Childhood Drug Use Book 7) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Unlike some books about methamphetamine this concise publication is written in easy-to-read and to understand terms. It is especially written for parents, other family members and educators concerned about the effects associated with children and adolescents using methamphetamine or ice. The use of illegal, mind-altering drugs continues as a major problem in contemporary society. As example, cocaine, crack and heroin create significant mental and physical health concerns to users, and pose hardships for families, friends and society. Now, added to this list of abused substances, comes METHAMPHETMINE and its derivative, ICE. Methamphetamine was first synthesized in Japan during the late 1800s. During World War II, the Japanese used this drug as a means of reducing fatigue and enhancing productivity. However, the Japanese banned its use shortly thereafter, when its addictive qualities became evident. Re-emerging in the American drug counterculture of the 1960s, methamphetamine (then known as speed) grew increasingly unpopular, as it’s devastating and life-threatening effects became known; and now again, its use appears to be increasing in popularity. As an illegally abused drug, methamphetamine has a variety of streets names such as • Meth • Speed • Crank • Go-fast and • Zip. It is also available in its re-crystallized form, known as ice. Ice is a free-base form of methamphetamine, just as crack is a free-base form of cocaine. Methamphetamine acts as a stimulant to the central nervous system, creating a euphoric high that lasts up to 30 minutes. The drug adversely affects the user’s physical and mental health, being responsible for damage to the brain, heart and lungs. Methamphetamine in any form KILLS (it is as simple as that); a fact the chronic meth abuser often fails to recognize. This deadly drug is smuggled into American from the Far East and Mexico, as well as manufactured in illegal laboratories within America’s borders. Used by all ages and both sexes, much of the illegal abuse of methamphetamine occurs in and around large population centers and cities. Mostly young adults use meth, but there is also a high correlation with meth and teens among the ranks of users. Use seems to peak in the early to mid-twenties and dwindle in the forties. Methamphetamine and its derivative, ice, are dangerous drugs. These drugs are responsible for social, psychological and physical problems that users, their families and friends must understand and resolve.
