Does meth affect you in anyway from building muscle?

Meth: Meth is a conglomeration of several chemicals and one never knows exactly what is in it. This is very dangerous and always causes damage to a user. If you use meth (methanphetamine, ) you are in danger, and should seek medical attention and rehab immediately. Many people die from using meth.

Muscle Wasting: When using meth for prolonged, continuous periods of time, it can cause muscle degradation. Once stored fat is used up, muscle mass is next to be broken down for life-supporting nutrients. If your body is always in a catabolic state, which is the case when using methamphetamines, it can't "build" anything; let alone muscle.
