RESEARCHER SAYS METH CARE EVOLVING

Methamphetamine floods the brain with 10 times the pleasure of sex and 20 
times the pleasure of food.

It's no wonder so many people who try the drug become addicted.

"There is nothing we can equate through natural phenomena or we can give 
through chemical phenomena that gives this rush," said Thomas Freese, a 
researcher with the UCLA Integrated Substance Abuse Programs in Los 
Angeles, during a presentation for medical staff at Deaconess Billings 
Clinic on Friday.
