Mehtamphetamine: From a recent article from the Journal of Addiction the likelihood of dying from regular methamphetmine use is 8 to 9% in a ten year period. Regular use ultimately associated with HTN and typically infarction of either the brain, heart or kidney. After 25 years of ER I have not seen any good outcome from regular use. Get addiction help.
