Use of methamphetamine — a bitter crystalline powder with a variety of delivery vectors, including snorting, injection, smoking, or “booty bumping” (putting it up your butt) — has risen sharply across the country. Nationwide, overdose deaths related to meth more than quadrupled from 2011 to 2017, and in San Francisco, more than 45 percent of all people who were taken to psychiatric emergency services in 2018 were high on meth. --- Unlike cocaine, meth stays in the body for up to 12 hours, and some studies have found the increased release of dopamine in the brain caused by meth can be toxic to nerve terminals. This can result in hallucinations, paranoia, memory loss, and unpredictable behaviour. Long-term use also makes it harder for the brain to repair itself. Physical effects include weight loss, severe tooth decay, and skin sores. Source: https://www.sfweekly.com/news/meth-report-sf-task-force/
