"With chronic use, tolerance for meth can develop. In an effort to intensify the desired effects, users may take higher doses of the drug, take it more frequently, or change their method of drug intake."

My son did meth for ten years. He used to be a great artist. Now he can't draw anymore. He used to be a smart kid. Now he can't speak clearly and he frequently doesn't speak because he's afraid he won't make sense. He has two felonies now and can't get a good job. His future is limited now. The doctor told him he's got a spot on his lungs and that made him want to use again. I love my son. Don't do meth even once.
