abuse the drug. According to methamphetamine sample data reported by the Iowa
Division of Narcotics Enforcement during 2005, the average purity level of
methamphetamine in Iowa was 38%. Further law enforcement reports indicate that

In 2006, 1.9 million Americans age 12 and older had abused methamphetamine at least once in the year prior to being surveyed. The 2007 Monitoring the Future Study showed that 1.1% of 8th graders, 1.6% of 10th graders, and 1.7% of 12th graders had abused methamphetamine at least once in the previous year.
Meth is an addictive stimulant that is closely related to amphetamine, but has longer lasting and more toxic effects on the central nervous system. It has a high potential for abuse and addiction. Longer-term meth users experience loss of appetite and malnutrition. Physical appearances include sores all over their face and body and rotting teeth. Meth addicts often experience hallucinations and paranoia from being awake for several days.
