My son said his friend who is supposedly addicted to ectasy will be getting an implant placed right under the skin. If he takes ectasy again, he will not be affected by the drug at all.....I told him I didn't believe such a thing exists. If it were true, I'd sure we'd all know about this. Anyone ever hear such a thing?

I'm an alcohol and drug counselor and I have NEVER heard of it!

First hand accounts from users that had used crystal meth. The costly expenses involved in cleaning up after cooking meth. ualr.edu

I am a mother of a 34yr old son who has stopped taking meth but is suffering from depression , and short attention spans. Does anyone have more info for me about what it feels like once you stop? I am clueless about the withdrawal?

I think the best thing for you to do would be to seek professional help for your son. Withdrawals from hard drugs like Crystal Meth can be very tricky and can cause emotional problems for the victim's family. If you checked him into rehab (for example), however, there would be a professionally trained staff that would know what was best for your son and how to cure. I suggest you do some research online and try to find a good rehab center for your son. Sites like recoveryconnection.org are a good place to start. Trust me, when your son is completely drug-free, you'll be glad you did.

i am a 36 year old female mother of a 16 year old girl, im in a 10 year relationship with a wonderful man, and i have a 13 year long meth addiction.
I WANT TO STOP!
i can't afford treatment, i know if i stopped using then i could afford it but stopping is kinda impossible without treatment. i don't qualify for state or county help and i can't do it on my own. my boyfriend is supporative of me seeking help and wants me to stop but doesn't know how to help me. i've tried to stop on my own but that didn't work. i know i'm an addict and i know i want to stop but the physical and mental addiction is to hard for me to beat by meself. not many people know that i use, i don't look like the typical "crankster", so its hard for me to ask around for help from friends.
if anyone has any suggestions i would appreciate them, please only serious ones.

All you need is WILL POWER. If you want to stop using drugs then stop using drugs. Mind over matter.

I have my paper here done and i did some of my editing, but it doesn't run smoothly. So, i need some experts to help me to with the sentence structures in this paper. Thanks!
This is what my research paper looks like:
CRYSTAL METH
Youth Shelter Worker reports “kids on crystal just lose it, break things, do property damage. They hurt themselves” (as cited in Hendley, 2006, P.163). Crystal Meth is also called methamphetamine which comes with different terms, such as Biker’s coffee, Blue meth, Chalk, Hot Ice, Ice, Speed, Crank, and many other meth names. With these various names, meth has the shape that is “clear, chunky crystal” (CBC, 2005, paragraph 1) which contains two quick-to-bond methyl (CH3 or methane with a hydrogen atom removed) hole (Langton, 2007). When it heats, it will begin to dissolve into white, yellow, or even pink powder (Street level consulting, 2008). Crystal meth did not exist until the Second World War from 1939-1945. It used to distribute among many soldiers for fighting off drowsiness or exhaustion (Langton, 2007). By 1950, people such as athletes, dieters, and college students began to use crystal meth. For example, athletes used it for gaining strengths for a better performance, dieters used it for losing weight, and college students used it for all night study session (Schleifer, 1999). Gradually until today, some adolescents begin to use crystal meth in the rave parties. Other than adolescents, gay males, people in rural, and the people in the bath houses also use crystal meth. Sometimes, crystal meth can be seen in some locations such as clubs, empty houses, streets, and home. According to 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, it reports “at least approximate 10.4 million of American teens who were aged twelve or older used meth at least once in their life for recreational use, representing 4.3% of the U.S. population in that age group” (Methamphetamine-addiction, 2008, paragraph 1). Most adolescents involves within the drug issue because it makes them feel hyperactive, ecstasy, judicious and beautiful (Schleifer, 1999). The addicts feel energetic and addictive after taking meth is because a stimulant which “increases the levels of two neurotransmitters, nor epinephrine, dopamine, and stamina” (Ramon, 2008, paragraph 4). Any meth users, who become addicted, are very likely to have violent behaviors, loss of appetite, depression, disorganized life style, hallucination, numbness, insomnia, increase of heart rate, fatal kidney, and lung disorders, as a result (Schleifer, 1999). Even though the meth has caused the users to have negative effect, some treatments would help the addicts to recover. One of the treatments that might be able to help the addicts is to attend meth rehab program. This program is not only does it help the addicts to detox, but there are some support groups can “provide with knowledge on how to change [the addicts’] lives and how to live comfortably without meth” (stop meth addiction, 2008, paragraph 1). Another treatment to support the meth users is to take pills which are given from a support group. The pills work like an antibiotic that remove any meth drugs inside the users’ body. This treatment is mainly looked for immediate physical symptoms (stop meth addiction, 2008). Crystal meth becomes an important issue which causes much harm to adolescents and adults mentally and physically. To prevent from anymore of these serious problems, adolescents should be taught to understand about what is crystal meth and its disadvantage use on human body.

Honestly, I read the paper and it has a lot more work to be done. If I edit this paper, in its current form, it will no longer resemble a paper written by you. I think you might want to try to take a deep breath and re-read it very slowly and see where you are missing the subjunctive "that" and where your sentence structure is not very solid. Take it sentence by sentence. You may wish to choose different phrases to make the paper appear less "oral" and more "written." This draft of the paper just seems very rough to me and you will need to do more of the work on your own before asking for help. Once you have it in a more complete format, I would be happy to help you. Good luck.

We just found out that my brother in law has been a meth addict for eight years now. He is single handedly destroying his family. He lives at home with his mom and has never had a job. She's a wonderful person but I don't think she knows how to deal with this. He told her that he doesn't want to go to rehab, so she won't send him. She seems to think that he'll stop on his own, or maybe she's just resigned to the fact that he'll never quit. What can we do?

If he's had this addiction for 8 years I doubt that he'll ever be able to quit by himself, and if he doesn't want help, he's lost. I'd tell her to kick him out unless he is willing to get help. He will only end up destroying his life and hers. She needs to get tough and make him leave and get help before that happens.
