What is the relationship between meth and Hep. C.? I've never heard of that. Interesting.
The drug (chemical) itself is very bad, and destructive to the body, and brain cells, of course, but from what I understand, a lot of the insane actions that take place by hard users is due to the extensive lack of sleep. Sleep deprivation is a killer, and will literally drive you mad, certified crazy.
One of the interesting theories I have heard is that when we sleep, our spirit/soul is allowed freedom from the wicked energies/atmosphere of this dark world, and possibly rejuvenated by the Almighty, or more heavenly realms. I know it sounds kinda far-fetched, but when you consider how immensely psychotic people become after long periods of no sleep, it makes you wonder.
I heard a story about a couple that were known to be very happy, and the envy of many of their friends, who got involved in meth and one day while having friends over, the girl was found in the bedroom on the bed with a screwdriver in her chest, obviously dead.
The boyfriend had been awake on meth for many days/weeks and had no memory of killing her.
It's almost as if the drug truly is a spiritual nightmare that allows heavy demonic influence, if not temporary possession by breaking down mental/spiritual barriers that normally withstand such access by the spirit realm.
Crazy, scary, sad stuff.
