treatment
Shake and Bake Meth Production Increasing

A quicker method of methamphetamine
production from the 1970s is re-emerging,
and so is Oklahoma’s battle with the “less
pure” homemade drug.
In 2003, Oklahoma ranked fourth nationwide
in total number of meth labs. Then, in 2004,
Oklahoma enacted a precedent-setting anti-meth
bill, which limited the availability of
meth’s main ingredient, pseudoephedrine.
Oklahoma fell to 16th in the nation for
total meth labs in 2007 as a result of the
landmark bill, according to the Drug
Enforcement Agency.

April 15 -- Prenatal exposure to
methamphetamine may impact brain
development, particularly in the white
matter, researchers found.
Children whose mothers used the drug during
pregnancy showed lower diffusion of
molecules through all brain regions -- up to
a 4% reduction in certain white matter areas
-- than unexposed children (P=0.05),
Christine Cloak, Ph.D., of the University of

February 6, 2009 - Crystal methamphetamine
abuse cost the U.S. $23.4 billion in 2005,
according to a study released this week from
the RAND Corporation of Santa Monica, Calif.
The widespread use of the stimulant has
spread to all regions of the country since
the 1990s, and the study suggests its
economic toll on society is as high as
heroin, and possibly greater.
The drug was listed as the primary cause of
at least 900 deaths in 2005, and RAND
estimates that premature mortality alone
cost the nation $4 billion that year.

known on the street as speed or crank, and

accompanied by spoken word and hip-hop music
in an intermissionless 60-minute show,

December 2, 2008 - "YOU
WILL die. You’ll go crazy first, but
you will die.”
Harrowing words from a young man who
narrowly escaped his addiction to crystal
methamphetamine.
“A friend of mine think’s he’s KGB. He
doesn’t know his name, who I am, my name.
He’ll never be back,” he said.
A 28-year-old user said, through a mouth
with rotting teeth, that she would die from
crystal meth. Her skinny frame and stringy
hair hint at the life she’s led on the
streets. Pulling her jeans down, she reveals
a deep crevice in her hip, the result of an
axe struck into her body. |

November 19, 2008 - Teen drug users living
in unstable family environments are most
likely to use crystal methamphetamine,
Canadian researchers said.
Study leader Dr. Terry Klassen and
colleagues at the University of Alberta
conducted an exhaustive search of the
literature on methamphetamine use, analyzing
the results of a dozen studies to get a big
picture of factors at the individual, family
and community level associated with crystal
methamphetamine use by children and
adolescents.
The researchers divided children and
adolescents into two groups: low-risk with
no previous history of drug use and
high-risk with history of drug use or time
spent in a juvenile detention center.
