Question by accidentalloser: Crystal Meth/Speed. Does it make your hair grow, then make it fall out.?
well my friend has done speed more than 10 times. suprisingly shes not addicted. and dont say she probably does it when shes alone because she doesnt. i know for a fact. we have her tested every two days lol.

anyways she said that when you do it, it makes your hair grow. she said when she did it it made her hair grow about half inch in two or three days.

but then can make it fall out.

same as my sister. she WAS addicted and her hair was down to her knees. literally. but that was over a course of about 2 years.

is this true. because im not too sure.
no im not considering doing it.
and shes not stupid cause shes the one who asked for help
so dont criticise.    Read more...

affects individuals from all walks of life. For example teens can be pressured into doing well in school or being part of the in-crowd, while women could be pressured into losing a lot of weight, leading them to use the drug.

The only way for you to fight is to stop yourself from enabling the addicted party’s drug dependence.    Read more...

Meth mouth, or a condition wherein someone who uses meth for a long time suffers from a mouthful of decaying teeth, is actually a mild side effect compared to all the other things that can cause. Unless you’re able to stop your teen’s , s/he can suffer from psychosis, heart failures, permanent brain damage and a lot more.    Read more...

As unfortunate as this may sound, a lot of parents are actually getting more and more acquainted about the idea of finding programs for their teenage sons and daughters.
