In a recent Marie Claire article, Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson, talkes about her addiction to methamphetamine.
Crystal meth is a man-made drug designed to give the user a euphoric high which often gives way to paranoia, racing disjointed thoughts and psychological problems. Addicts or “tweakers” become consumed with obtaining crystal meth which is made up of ingredients like propane, lye, ammonia, and Sudafed.
In the interview, Fergie explains how paranoia induced by crystal meth abuse, consumed her. ” I had about 20 different conspiracy theories. I painted the windows in my apartment black so they couldn’t see in,” Fergie told Marie Claire, explaining that she thought the FBI was after her during a crystal meth binge.

One of the most visible, and permanent side effects of methamphetamine abuse is meth mouth.
Meth mouth is the term given to the rot and decay that occurs when someone continually abuses meth. There are several reasons why meth mouth occurs in individual abusing methamphetamine.
Although many people attributed meth mouth to the lifestyle of drug addiction, Meth dries out the salivary glands. Without saliva, the acid eats away at the tooth enamel, causing holes or weak spots.
One of the side effects of using meth is a nervous paranoid feeling. When users experience this they often grind and clench their teeth, causing cracks in their teeth.
Meth causes the vessels that carry blood to the oral tissues to shrink up. Teeth and gums need blood to stay healthy. When the teeth and gums don’t get enough blood the tissues begin to break down and die, causing gum disease.
Meth mouth is just one gruesome side effect of methamphetamine abuse. If you or anyone you know is in need of help please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650.
Crystal meth, once a drug popular with kids that wanted to party, is now replacing diet pills. In a recent CBS interview, women are beginning to ditch the diet pills and replace them with a far more dangerous alternative, crystal meth.
