I’ve never seen somebody on Meth, but if it’s anything like Herion, I get the picture. That guy had no idea what was going on until he got the Narcan. I know it save his life that day.

You might have, without knowing it. When people start using Methamphetamine, it is often difficult to tell that they are on it. It doesn’t make them dozey or dopey: it makes them hyper-alert and really focused, and that is often your first and only clue.
In my view it is quite a bit more dangerous than Heroin, or pretty much anything else that is out there. And these days it is getting so cheap that, here in NZ, it is no longer the “drug of choice” for the rich, but rather for the poor. They make it themselves from easily-obtained ingredients using well-known (extremely dangerous) techniques. It can be inhaled, injected or ingested — if inhaled, the crystals are good for a few hits, not just one.
Meth does the opposite of heroin. Meth is a stimulant and makes a person very active. Heroin is relaxing and makes a person mello - until they need their next fix. I'm pretty sure that the medics will not use Narcan to treat a person under the influence of meth.
