Understanding the dangers associated with methamphetamine, cocaine, and shabu abuse is crucial. Shabu is not pure methamphetamine and contains harmful impurities, while injecting, snorting, or smoking it can lead to various health risks. Methamphetamine abuse can result in severe physical and mental health issues, and cocaine, including crack cocaine, poses additional dangers. Pregnant individuals using these substances face heightened risks, including fetal harm. It is important to be aware of the toxic effects and potential consequences of substance abuse.
