Risk Reduction

Don't mix your drugs. The greatest danger to your health is from mixing crystal meth with cocaine or ecstasy. The first is an unlikely combination because they have such similar effects. This pairing brings a danger of increased toxicity and strain on the heart.
Mixing crystal meth with ecstasy puts extra strain on the heart and you will be at risk of over-heating. Mixing crystal meth with Viagra is also very dangerous.
As crystal meth decreases inhibitions and increases the sex drive, safe sex can become an after-thought. It is essential to stay safe during sex so always carry -and use- condoms. In the US almost half the new cases of HIV infection have crystal meth as a factor.
Don't take too much. It is possible to overdose on crystal meth, which can lead to permanent damage or death.
Use of crystal meth over long periods of time results in reduction of health. It is therefore advised to take multi-vitamin and calcium supplements, as well as keeping a check on body weight.
Avoid injecting crystal meth. This can damage your body and sharing needles can pass on diseases such as HIV. If you have schizophrenic tendencies there are real dangers that even the mildest use of crystal meth could push you over the edge.
