Meth Use Causes Extensive Brain Damage: " The first high-resolution MRI study of individuals addicted to methamphetamine (meth) finds that the drug causes extensive brain damage among long-term users, the New York Times reported July 20.
Dr. Paul Thompson, an expert on brain mapping at the University of California, Los Angeles, said the MRI study showed 'a forest fire of brain damage.' He added, 'We expected some brain changes, but didn't expect so much tissue to be destroyed.'"
