Indiana State Trooper Jackie Smith will appear at tonight’s monthly Silver Grove Neighborhood Association meeting and discuss methamphetamine use, with emphasis on awareness and warning signs of meth labs, which constitute a public health risk beyond even the damage done to the drug's users.
“Methamphetamines are synthetic amphetamines or stimulants that are produced and sold illegally in pill form, capsules, powder and chunks. An amphetamine is a chemical that has stimulant properties similar to adrenaline. Like adrenaline, methamphetamines stimulate the central nervous system, and are extremely addictive. After the effect of meth wears off, it can cause severe withdrawal that is more intense and longer lasting than both speed and cocaine. Methamphetamines may be known as meth, crank, glass, speed, crystal, ice, batu, chalk, shabu, or zip.”
Excerpt from KCI – The Anti-Meth Site
The meeting is tonight, June 2, 2005, 7:00 p.m., in the basement of Advent Christian Church (2129 Shelby Street). All are invited to the meeting.
