Does Meth Crystalize In Lungs As Difficulty In Breathing?

Does meth really crystalize in your lungs?? I had a friend fail to tell me when I decided to try it not to hold it in. They told me later .. I would like to know detailed info from a doc because I already have bad lungs. It does seem a lil more difficult to breathe after I tried it. I will never do that again!! Wasn t wat I expected & wasnt funn .. Not a good experience!

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Any form of smoke,whether from cigarette or from pollution or due to meth,is harmful to the lungs.
It actually irritates the lung mucosa and produce inflammatory reaction.
This causes edema and secretion. Both of these causes coughing and difficulty in breathing due to spasm.
And this is more worse in already damaged lungs.
So better not to try such things in future. It will harm your lungs further.
