How Is Meth Used?
Meth can be smoked, injected, snorted or taken as a pill. The method of using meth may vary by geographic region.
- Smoking: A small glass pipe called a flute is used to smoke meth. This is the most popular method because it provides the strongest, quickest rush that takes effect almost immediately.
- Snorting: New users often try meth by snorting it, which produces less of an intense rush and more of a euphoric feeling. Using this method, the drug usually takes effect within 3-5 minutes.
- Injection: When meth is in a powdered form, it can be injected directly into the bloodstream, where it takes effect almost immediately. Injecting meth puts the user at a high risk for hepatitis, HIV and other infections that can be carried by re-used needles.
- Pills: Meth was distributed as pills when it was originally developed for legitimate medical use. Meth pills can still be found in either manufactured or homemade forms.

Signs And Symptoms Of Meth Addiction
One of the most common signs of meth addiction is what is commonly referred to as “meth mouth” – issues with the mouth and teeth that become obvious to others when someone is using meth regularly. Symptoms include mouth sores, tooth decay, and gum disease. Meth causes the mouth to dry out, which contributes to tooth decay and often tooth loss. Mouth sores are caused by dehydration, and users often develop cavities because the drug can cause sugar cravings.
There are other signs of meth addiction as well, including:
- Skin problems. Rashes may develop from a poor diet and bad hygiene. Meth users also sweat heavily because of dehydration, and their skin often takes on a gray hue. In some cases, they may scratch their arms and face as they try to get at imagined insects crawling on or under their skin.
- Labored breathing. The toxic chemicals inhaled when smoking meth often contribute to coughs and lung damage.
- Nasal problems. Nose bleeds or sinus infections, caused by the drug drying out mucous membranes, are common among people who use meth.
- Heart problems. Rapid heartbeat, arrhythmia, and chest pains can all be caused by meth addiction.
- Digestive and urinary issues. Meth use can damage blood vessels and contribute to kidney problems. Abdominal cramping, urinary tract infections, and chronic constipation or diarrhea are other signs of meth addiction.
- Irregular sleeping and eating habits. Meth users often don’t eat or sleep for several days in a row as they binge on the drug before dropping into a crash phase.
- Social withdrawal. Relationships, hobbies, friendships, and careers often get neglected when someone uses meth regularly and becomes addicted.
