Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine is a powerful and highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. It increases the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, leading to intense euphoria. However, its use can result in serious health issues, including heart problems, severe dental issues known as "meth mouth," and mental health disorders like anxiety and paranoia. Meth can be consumed in various ways, including smoking, snorting, or injecting. Its illegal production and distribution are significant public health concerns due to the social and economic impacts of addiction and related crimes.
