Along with amphetamines, methamphetamine was given to both Axis and Allied soldiers during World War II as performance aids and to counteract sleep deprivation. Illegal use of methamphetamine rose in the United States in the 1960s, originating in the Southwest. Methamphetamine was supplied by labs in Mexico and smuggled into the United States .through US border states. By the 1980s, methamphetamine had become increasingly popular in the Midwest and in the southern states, partially because of the availability of fertilizer that could be used as an ingredient in methamphetamine production.]]> 2017-05-11 20:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/liluce13/f6ojpc66xzlv/wish/171367585 liluce13 https://padlet.com/liluce13/f6ojpc66xzlv/wish/171367858 2017-05-11 20:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/liluce13/f6ojpc66xzlv/wish/171367858 Side Effects liluce13 https://padlet.com/liluce13/f6ojpc66xzlv/wish/171367943

The inability of the brain to release the excess dopamine creates the user’s rush or high. Chronic methamphetamine use leads to a change in the activity of the dopamine system, specifically a decrease in motor skills and impaired verbal learning skills. Chronic use also affects emotions, memory, and general cognitive abilities. Because methamphetamine is highly lipophilic, it enables a rapid and extensive transport across the blood-brain barrier. It is highly neurotoxic and can stay in the body’s system for eight to thirteen hours.]]> 2017-05-12 20:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/liluce13/f6ojpc66xzlv/wish/171577660
