What methamphetamine can do for you

1. Impair your memory and language skills;
2. Increase your chance of getting Parkinson disease and dyskinesias;
3. Increase your chance of cardiac arrhythmia, seizures, renal failure, temporary blindness, to list only a few;
4. And even withdrawal symptoms include cognitive impairments, disturbed sleep or insomnia, depression and anxiety, which can lead to suicidal thoughts.
