1 - How can I tell if he is actually an addict?
If you think he is an addict he you are probably right. He will never admit that.

Addiction and disease:
This is an excellent site for explanation. The point is an addict wants to quit but cannot they mentally and physically need it to live. Rather die than not use; their mind is diseased with this disorder. I know it is a choice at first, a choice to feel good, and have fun like going to the movies. With drugs in time that choice you made tricks you in to thinking that you need it to live than it becomes addiction (disease.) Good Luck.

2 - How does this drug affect his brain?
While High? It releases dopamine in the brain and brings euphoric feelings of joy giddiness happiness, everything feels unbearably good. The release of too much dopamine can brings jealousy, paranoia, and aggression. It will also bring forth pre existing mental conditions like bi-polar. His use can also put him into a meth induced psychosis for months after he is clean.

Paranoia:
Dr. Drew�s site. He used to be on MTV with Adam Corolla and has a radio show with Adam. He is an addiction, and STD specialist.

Body Destruction:

This is one of the greatest and eeriest things ever. I wanted to ad this for those who never seen their loved ones high, this video really shows the eerie feeling of watching someone with so much to do but goes in every direction and does nothing. This is Amanda Mazzanti being filmed by her father when she was in an 8 month meth induced psychosis. She writes me that she hates what this drug does to others her friend is still in a meth induced psychosis today. She is working on a documentary that sheds light on the meth epidemic from the tweakers view. Good Luck.

3 - How long does it stay in his system?

4 - Can a standard drug test pick it up if he hasn't used in a couple weeks?
NO hair follicle test.

5 - Is he a danger to my children?
If you read about the paranoia yes he is. Yes I would leave and save yourself and your children.

6 - What else do I need to know about this drug to keep my children safe?
When meth is smoked it turns in to gas form and re crystallizes in the persons lungs. This is how they get high. The meth will also re-crystallize on the couch the walls the chair your silverware and can be harmful to you and your child. The meth toxins also come out of the users pores. The toxins irritate some user�s skin and they get what is called speed bumps, the sweat can also irritate an infant�s skin and cause them to get a rash.
