Question:
you're a mental patient- you should read this you may have suffered brain damage And what makes you think I'm a mental patient?Your Brain on Ice Brain Damage Found in Amphetamine Users never used amphetamines of any kind. What was it like for you? MRS brain scans of former methamphetamine users reveal evidence of cell damage in the right frontal region of their brains (box) even months after they stopped using the drugs.

those former methamphetamine users whose wives (or did you mean to write "MRI?") scanned their brains, did anyone scan their brains before they started using amphetamines? Obviously, their brains had been previously shrunken by $cientology or some other form of witch-doctoring. Or perhaps it was the (box)ing that did it. I hear some boxers get so brain-injured that they start their own religions, with galactic emperors named Xenu for theology.

Answer: This suggests that inhaling heroin vapor may cause permanent brain damage, he added, and that more serious symptoms may re-emerge as the patient ages. The other real concern, Kriegstein said, is that many more patients may be at risk for the same brain damage as a result of the growing practice of ''chasing the dragon.''

Drug researchers hasten to point out that even though methamphetamine is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children, the therapeutic doses for ADHD as well as other disorders like narcolepsy are only a hundredth of the daily amounts taken by the lightest users in the study. "I don't want people to think because of this study that children who are taking methamphetamine are being exposed to brain damage," said Charles R. Schuster, director of the division on substance abuse at Wayne State University in Detroit and a former director of the National Institute on Drug abuse. In his own research on animals, Schuster said, "we gave low doses [of methamphetamines] for months and months and months and still didn't produce an effect, whereas with high doses we could produce it with one injection." Ecstasy, is a synthetic drug that is structurally similar to methamphetamine and the hallucinogen mescaline, but it has different effects on the brain.
