Number4940, that is a good and valid point except the drugs involved in making meth aren't necessarily that good for you separate or together. Then when you look at all the chemicals involved they look horrid. It is like saying nuclear energy isn't bad for us.

Cooks homes with children experience pulmonary and respiratory and other symptoms. We have just started to see the lifetime of effects due to residuals from making meth and people in contact with it.

Here is a list of the chemicals and the damage each chemical does to a person.

Acetone - reproductive disorders
Methanol - blindness and eye damage
Ammonia - blistering lung damage
Ether - reproductive disorders
Freon - frostbite and lung damage
Hydriodic acid - burns and thyroid damage
Lithium metal - burns, fluid in lungs
Muriatic acid - burns and toxic vapors.
Pseudoephedrine - heart damage
Red phosphorus
Sodium Hydroxide
Sulfuric acid
Toluene

It Seems Like A Disease to Me Everyday... I Just Quit About a Week Ago, I Been To Rehab For It and It didn't Help for That Long Because When Its In Your Face and Your Lonely It Can Be Your Best Friend.. I Watched My Mom Practically Kill Herself With It Everyday and she Doesn't Realize I Even Know It.. Sometimes I Have To Walk Away And Leave my Own House Because Its So Hard To Say No and It Gets Harder Everyday, It Seems Like It Should Be The Opposite.. When I See That She Is High I Get Mixed Feelings Because I Wanna Do It But I Hate It.. Its The Only Real Shark In My Life and No One But Me Even Realizes.. My Mom Says Meth Is Not Cool But Yet She Does it and Looks Me Dead In The Face, Higher Then a Kite, Happier Then Ever.

meth is death!!!!! so glad i am finally off of it.

Even without the chemicals if it was safe to take it is still very toxic to one's whole being.think about it.Hey last can't wait to see the black knight with heath ledger as the joker.

One day at a time, sometimes one second at a time.

GWgrl4ever, that is the addiction part of this and other drugs. The power of insanity in doing it until we end up in Jail, institutions, or death.

Sugar cane,coca leaf,caffeine,pot,all natural resources but all when consumed in quantity,quality or long periods of time harm the mind and body and are addictive which is the focus of using anything that hurts us.Yes 3 bad chemicals compounded to make one can be non lethal but the molecular make up of meth is damaging to the body and for anyone to glorify it or condone it is insane and that person is probably dabbling or using it or wont break ties with someone that is lifestyling the crap.Deral

My sister and her man were cooks for a long time and she has no side effects. I'm not saying it's good or anything but sometimes I think some of this shit is propaganda to keep people away from it. No one should use it, it's horrible, but I also think there is some government bullshit thrown in too.

The medical scale of using meth has a row of negatives and a row of positives concerning the physical and social effects of using meth out of a hundred on each side the positive reflects 1 good aspect and thats weight loss.
We cannot see the inside of our bodies and the damage done from using .I can confirm from my own experience of 18 yrs of using ampheds,and methampheds that my body is not normal and I have health problems at the young age of 46.Heart ,kidney,gerd,high blood pressure and the biggest abnormality is Im veinless and have nowhere to put a line in me in case of an emergency or medical procedure. Now the chemicals used to make meth are mostly acids and flammables except the psuedoephedrine and its extracted from the other components in the pills by means of acid and highly flammables.Dear lastgunslinger thank you for simplifying the subject at hand and it is what it is, all poison and it kills the body and it changes lives and family interest for the worse .Ive said this before and Im saying it now that anyone that gives this terrible drug a plus or condones it is either using or dont want to face the reality of the damage of meth and they very well may be associated with someone that uses and is keeping the factual truth from them for personal gain.There is not one good thing about anything that makes your heart beat like crazy.If Ive offended anyone Im truly sorry but if your offended and are a member of this discussion then you are at the right place.Deral
