Strokes in young people could be due to meth

            Everything has a consequence but there are some things that have effects that could change, or even ruin someones life.  One of those things is meth, a very common drug that has harsh effects on its users.  

            One of those effects is strokes.  Meth increases blood pressure, costricts blood vessels, and also inflame blood vessel walls.  Not only that but it's been known to tear the aorta, which is the largest artery on the body.  Bad news.  

            My reaction to this is sadness.  I wonder why we have things in this world that are so addicting and dangerous to those who try it.  It's scary and sad to me because my birth father was addicted to drugs, so I know what drugs to not only to people's health but also to thier lives.  Of course when someone first tries drugs, they dont think about the effects it will have on thier bodies, how addicted they could become and how it will effect the people in thier lives.  

            THe fact that this is an artice about two women, one 29, the other 26, is sad enough, but the fact that they were unfortunate enough to become addicted is heartbreaking.
