Thanks for posting your query on HCM!


"Ice or Crystal meth" is the street term for the smokeable form of methamphetamine. It is a strong brain stimulant & produces euphoria, excitement and a sense of well-being that can last from an hour to a full day. But it can also increase blood pressure and cause sleeping problems.
The appetite gets suppressed & hence the abuser inclined to skip meals for as long as he is high from the "ice".

The cause of dark vomitus could be due to bleeding from the intestines or death of the lining of the intestines which can occur in some abusers.

You are advised to visit the doctor for proper assessment and treatment,
Methamphetamine is approved to be used for certain conditions like attention deficit hyperactive disorder. Its use other than the approved one constitutes the drug abuse.
So, once you recover from the present problem, you are hereby advised to refrain from taking such substances which are not only harmful to you but also harmful to the growing fetus.

I hope now you can understand the nature of its toxic effects.
Take care, smoking in any form is injurious to health......
