Long term effects of meth are addiction to the drug. I'll have more later. xD

---

Chronic methamphetamine causes great stress on many body systems. Because

meth users seldom eat or drink healthily and because the drug suppresses appetite they are often malnourished. Because the drug raises heart rate and blood pressure they suffer from the problems those illnesses bring on. Because the drug prevents sleep the body and mind get insufficient rest; staying awake too long may precipitate psychosis. In fact, simply using a lot of meth can make you psychotic.

There's some evidence that the action of meth on neurons damages them directly. Because meth raises the levels of neurotransmitters, the brain may adapt by lowering

the number of receptors or increasing reuptake sites. Meth makes you grind your teeth and forget about your personal hygiene, so meth users very often have very bad teeth.

It's dangerous stuff.

What re short term and long term affects of meth?

Short-term effects of methamphetamine use include increased energy, heightened alertness, decreased appetite, and euphoria, but can also lead to anxiety, paranoia, and aggressive behavior. Long-term effects are far more severe, including addiction, severe dental problems (often called "meth mouth"), weight loss, and cognitive deficits. Chronic use can also result in mental health issues like depression and anxiety, as well as increased risk of infectious diseases due to risky behaviors. Additionally, long-term users may experience significant changes in brain structure and function, leading to lasting cognitive impairments.
