1. Chauncey's post was VERY well articulated.
2. Meth users experience hyperactivity, sometimes for days, followed by a crash. Meth discolors their teeth and often results in "vomit breath" that remains even after brushing teeth and mouthwash. The speeding of metabolism burns calories, resulting in weight loss. The user's mind races and the user often has an inability to focus on any subject. This is readily apparent in conversation.
3. Meth is highly addictive. It is doubtful that an addict could obstain during a family visit.
4. In the straight world, it is "meth" or "crystal meth". Many gay men know it as "Crystal", "Christina", "Tina", or simply "T".
It sounds like you have good communication with your son. There is no better deterrent than loving and supportive family and friends.
