Metamfetamin asfarligt

Enligt en studie så skadar metamfetaminbruk hjärnan permanent på ett sådant sätt att det i princip inte går att repa sig från. Hjärnan går i depression utan mer metamfetamin, och hjärnan verkar inte kunna reparera sig själv igen. Vi får väl se om mer studier bli lika dystra  sina slutsatser.

The drug's withdrawal side-effects are every bit as epic. Researchers estimate that 10 days of meth use creates a period of depression lasting at least 4 months. And intense physical cravings persist for that entire period. This chemical condition, compounded over time, leads to the physical and psychological degeneration so common to chronic meth abuse. The mind and body essentially begin to decay and the brain is unable to return to its previously unaffected state. The persistence of meth addiction is far more understandable when viewed through this lens. Perhaps the study's most unsettling finding was that total abstinence, even when maintained for the equivalent of one or more human years, did not reverse the damage caused by this initial exposure. The only way to reverse the depression of the affected brain was to supply it with more meth.
