If you are an avid meth user how many years will it take to destroy you

Meth is a very dangerous

Meth is a very dangerous drug. I have seen reports that say if you start using meth constantly you could have a life expectancy of 5 years after starting to use.

The statistics I've seen say

The statistics I've seen say that the average life expectancy of a meth user is 5 to 7 years. Meth is a really dangerous and highly addictive drug that is hard on your body. I've read that it increases risk for stroke and cardiovascular collapse and can harm the immune system. With chronic use, it can cause permanent brain damage. Meth abusers sometimes have psychotic symptoms that can last for years after stopping meth use and or even recur years later.
