It would be easy to just say “meth is bad”, however there are effects of meth that reach far beyond that one adjective. Both long and short term meth use have effects on the body. The longer a person uses meth, the more obvious and far reaching the effects seem to be. From skin and teeth problems to permanent mental issues, meth is known to have negative effects on nearly every system of the body.
