Meth & Fight or Flight Response

Published February 17, 2011

This video discussed how Meth stimulates the body’s “fight or flight” response, raising heartbeat, increasing adrenalin and pumping blood to muscles. The result of this response, weight loss and the inevitable crash, are also illustrated.
