Just like the commercials...the brain gets 'fried'. Actually it messes up the chemical balance of the brain. The brains ability to function 'logically'.

Just lost a dear friends son about a month ago, he was on crystal meth. Had been on it for a few years. He burned down his house, barn and shot himself in the head. The brain relys on healthy food to function. Drugs make the brain cease functioning.
