Methamphetamine (meth) takes a toll on the body. But what does long term use of meth really do to the body?
Meth affects multiple systems of the body. These include:
- The circulatory system
- The respiratory system
- The excretory system
- The lymphatic system
For example, long term use of meth can cause tooth decay, liver failure, and irreversible blood vessel damage that may result in stroke. Not only that, but smoking meth can lead to chronic lung diseases, blood clots, or irregular heartbeat.
