Abstract/Summary
Imagine you are 17 years old and locked up, again. You aren’t a murderer or rapist, you are an addict, and it’s all you have ever known. You are shaking uncontrollably, sweating profusely, seeing and hearing things that aren’t really there, vomiting, and screaming in agony. You are coming down off of one of the most addictive and destructive drugs in the world today, Meth. On the street it’s called ice, glass, crank, chalk, or crystal, to you it’s the substance that has destroyed every relationship you’ve ever had, its destroyed your family, kept you from getting your high school diploma and from having any kind of social group of friends other than the other meth heads you know who seek what you seek; the ultimate high. It’s the only thing that is consistent in your life and offers you the best and worst feeling in the entire world.
