Craig Pederson I got sucked into doing meth when i was 21 and continued to get high for about a year and a half after until i picked up a criminal case for stealing, me and my wife split up, i lost my job and i was living in my car for 3 months prior to my arrest.. In my opinion, meth does make you way sharper, way more focused, super confident, witty, but..... those benefits are extremely short lived and once you realize your not getting the benefits, you find yourself with the worst addiction ever... i wish i never tried it. Don't make the mistake of thinking you can try it once. you will regret that for the rest of your life.
