Life Education, the horrors of the drug P.

Methamphetamine or "P'' is a drug that is used by a lot of people, it leads to unneeded crimes and unnesscary deaths.

Methamphetamine affects a lot of body parts, and I am going to list what it does to them. First of all, your body temperature. It increases to dangerously high levels, and can cause Organ failures or brain damage. Secondly, the user of Meth starts hallucinating, thinking something is under their skin. They scratch and scratch and scratch until they leave massive sores. Thirdly, it affects our immune system, causing greying skin and open sores. Fourthly, Meth stops hunger and appetite, causing tissue and bones to become very unhealthy. Next, users will pretend that something is there, when non-users can obviously see that there isn't. Sometimes they twitch awkwardly, not even bring able to control it. Their blood pressure also can cause irregular heart beats and maybe a heart attack or stroke. Meth can cause rotten teeth and gums from its acid and horrible hygiene. And lastly, the user will start to lose hair.

There has been quite a lot of crimes involving meth, including a little girls murder and Samurai sword murders, but I took interest into one certain article. There was a RSA murder, involving a man called William Dwane Bell. He was high on methamphetamine and also drunk. He tried to work at the RSA but after two weeks was told to leave. He then returned injuring the club manager, a club member and an employee. Susan Couch received Brain Damage.
