On average - in the United States - you can expect to pay around eighty dollars for a gram of crystal meth.
A quarter of a gram will set you back twenty dollars and half a gram will normally cost about forty dollars.

- Methamphetamine (also known as crystal meth, crank, glass or ice) stimulates the central nervous system of a user. The drug has a similar molecular structure to amphetamine.
- The drug can be taken orally, snorted through the nostrils, injected intravenously with a needle or smoked with the use of an "ice pipe".
- Methamphetamine acclerates production of the naturally-occuring chemical, dopamine, in the brain - and blocks the reuptake of it. This creates artifically-high levels of the substance in the brain of the user.
- Dopamine is the chemical responsible for feelings of reward, motivation, pleasure and - in large amounts - euphoria.
- Because methamphetamine use tampers with the reward region of the brain, it is highly addictive and very, very difficult to give up once a user is hooked.
