This Poem titled "I Am Meth" has been circulated via the internet for many years. drugs_user It is a very profound piece of writing highlighting the issues faced by users and addicts of the drug Methamphetamine (also known as Crystal Meth or just Meth).  Meth is a highly addictive stimulant that dramatically effects the central nervous system and is a growing problem throughout the world.

I have tried to find the origins of this poem but as with lots of internet circulated writings there are many rumours associated to the poems writer.  I have heard of stories such as; it was written by young Indian girl who was in prison for drugs charges, who died shortly after completing the poem from a drugs overdose.  Also stories that it was sent to an American news paper by an anonymous teenager or that it was written by a middle aged mother who has never used drugs before.  What ever rumours you choose to believe the message is still the same and just as hard-hitting.
