What Exactly is Meth?
What Exactly Is
Meth?
Methamphetamine, also known as meth, is a stimulant that acts on the central nervous system to increase dopamine production. The substance often takes the form of a white, bitter powder and can be snorted, smoked, or ingested. Crystal meth, on the other hand, is blue or clear in color and usually smoked in its crystal form.

What Does Crystal MethAddiction Look Like.
Because dopamine is the chemical often associated with pleasurable feelings, as well as motivation and reward processing, individuals commonly abuse meth to achieve a euphoric rush. Other side effects include increased energy, talkativeness, and decreased appetite—meth users are known to be awake for multiple days at a time because of the drug’s stimulating effects.
Other common effects associated with meth abuse include:
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Paranoia
- Tremors
- Aggression
- Weight loss
- Irritability or agitation
Though initially used in nasal decongestants, methamphetamine has since been classified as a Schedule II stimulant by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and is now relatively difficult to access legally. Many people with meth addictions acquire the substance illegally.
Though the FDA has taken measures to regulate methamphetamine over the years to prevent abuse, people have adapted to using the drug in its illicit forms over time, and today thousands of Americans are addicted to meth and crystal meth. According to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), around 2.0 million people used methamphetamine in the last year. Meth addiction is already dangerous on its own, but people with addictions are also known to combine meth with alcohol and other drugs like Xanax.
