"With chronic use, tolerance for meth can develop. In an effort to intensify the desired effects, users may take higher doses of the drug, take it more frequently, or change their method of drug intake."

I was 14 when I started using Meth. My ex-boyfriend at the time was a drug dealer; he sold Meth and had it on him most of the time. We both did it whenever we had a chance and that was most of the days and nights that I was with him. I started to become extremely paranoid and hallucinated all the time. I continued to do Meth until 6 months ago, when I overdosed in my high school; I don't remember anything that happened. I woke up in the hospital, and my mother was working there that same day. Ever since then, I haven't touched it. I got my second chance and I'm not planning on wasting it.
