Dangers and Effects
Immediate feelings are of light-headedness followed by intense rushes of euphoria, increased physical activity, heightened alertness and increased wakefulness as a result of the central nervous system being affected. After several hours the user experiences the come-down and feels decreased appetite, increased respiration and hypothermia.
Yaba contains for the most part methamphetamine and 'meth' stimulates a portion of the brain that releases what is called dopamine, which is basically the "feel good" chemical which produces the high when one takes meth and also creates sexual arousal. Meth and sexual promiscuity therefore go hand and hand, and individuals who take meth typically go into sexual overdrive in terms of stimulation to have sex and lowered sexual inhibitions.
So while meth is working to increase sex drive in users, it is also providing the individual with a boost of self-confidence, stamina, and adrenaline. Meanwhile, meth is also actively impairing one's judgment, and meth users do things while high on meth that they wouldn't normally do. The powerful brain chemicals caused by meth use causes individuals to drop their guard, and engage in unprotected sex. This can be particularly dangerous for meth users, as many hardcore meth addicts inject the drug. Injection meth users often share needles. So whether or not you inject meth, if you have unprotected sex with someone who does you are putting yourself at risk of several highly infectious diseases, most of which have no cure.
To compound the dangers of meth and sexual promiscuity, meth users often have extremely aggressive sex which can last for several hours.

Famous quotes containing the words dangers and/or effects:
“Fearlessness is a more than ordinary strength of mind, which raises the soul above the troubles, disorders, and emotions which the prospect of great dangers are used to produce. And by this inward strength it is that heroes preserve themselves in a calm and quiet state, and enjoy a presence of mind and the free use of their reason in the midst of those terrible accidents that amaze and confound other people.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Trade and commerce, if they were not made of India-rubber, would never manage to bounce over the obstacles which legislators are continually putting in their way; and, if one were to judge these men wholly by the effects of their actions and not partly by their intentions, they would deserve to be classed and punished with those mischievous persons who put obstructions on the railroads.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
