Meth Anyone want to share their meth use experience. Mine was... strange to say the least.

[UNKUSR]

So I started doing meth and It was so strange. I don't want to get into too much detail, but I believe I was opening interdimensional portals or something. It allowed my demons to somehow "break through" quite noticeably. It's a very personal experience involving past trauma with sexual abuse. This experience was completely BIZARRE. I am curious about other's experiences with meth use in 2022 and maybe there is someone with a similar experience. Were you able to quit? Did you find out what was happening? No I never saw faces or shadow people. My experience was different than most stories I've heard about. Can't wait to chat. This is my first post BTW. Thanks you all

First, let me welcome you to bluelight!

Second, yeah my experience with meth was nothing weird, I just got energy and euphoria, but it might be dose dependent and once I've tripped (on methoxetamine that was) with a friend who also suffered from past sexual trauma. While low dosages affected her as they did me, so made a higher dose her to face her demons. It's been a long time since and I don't remember much, but it was overwhelming and hard to handle for me. She never talked about the experience afterwards which let me think that she had retrograde amnesia but I'm not entirely sure. She had many fake friends and learned to hide stuff.

Were you alone or with others? Did you realize at that moment that it was just a drugged influence?

I thought I was opening portals too… I believed I was expecting other dimensions. So hard to describe. Felt like I was in a time warp too….I experienced episodes that were psychotic and had me connecting numbers and felt like I was on a journey through past lives too and confusing dream world with reality. I would think my dreams were real. It really messed me up. Meth put me in psyche ward 6 times especially if I smoked pot too with it

Meth has one of the *least* weirdest effects on me of everything I've done (and I'll be up for 3 nights on it).

This is actually a really common phenomena which occurs with meth users. It's opened doors in people minds on really dark sexual trauma and warped their PTSD or triggered and warped both in some really screwed up ways for a lot of people. There have been plenty of examples of this on Bluelight alone for this, if you follow.

I really don't understand this. Meth is not some mysterious consciousness-altering drug -- it's speed.

Any of that stuff would be a result of the person being sleep-deprived/malnourished/dehydrated etc and perhaps their minds are unable to cope with that level of stress so it breaks down. The drug itself doesn't cause that unless it's got something else in it.

This is a decent article without the hype:

Weekly Dose: ice and speed, the drugs that kept soldiers awake and a president young

Ice is a slang name for crystal methamphetamine – a stimulant drug that is swallowed, smoked or injected. It works by activating the reward pathways in the brain, producing feelings of alertness.

Meth is extremely triggering for a lot of people, and longer term use causes damage to the neurons so that the white matter which sheaths them becomes diminished. This looks identical to paranoid schizophrenia under an MRI, as in you can literally wind up in a schizophrenic state and you’re on speed. It’s a wicked, wicked thing that happens to many people.

1/10 people who use meth will become physically dependant. And 40% of those dependant will develop psychosis. Psychosis can actually develop with some people regardless of heavy use leading to neuronal damage. Some people are susceptible to having an adverse reaction to meth no matter what their level of use is.

Amphetamines are what’s mainly classed as phenethlyamines which includes all he amphetamines, MDMA, and also many hallucinogens like all of the 2C drugs e.g. 2C-I. Methamphetamine is obviously a different substance, but being in the same class as a lot of drugs which are mostly psychedelic, or with psychedelic properties, don’t you think that meth has the potential to have a similar outset regarding hallucinations and delusions in an adverse reaction?

Check this link out. It has meth and all of them under the same umbrella regarding the negative effects. They’re all phenethylamimes after all.

It’s a solid argument to say that the dark side of meth is very much like the dark side of psychedelics with hallucinations and all. It obviously is. And there is the taxonomic argument to back me up.

Meth is an amazing drug really.

Fair enough, but that suggests medicine has a good understanding of the mind/brain and mental illnesses like schizophrenia. I say it's barely touched the surface. Psychiatry is the *only* specialist medical profession that does not a single scan or test of any kind. It's completely hit and miss.

So that may well be correct, but I'm gonna go with anecdotal evidence (particularly my own experience) on this.. And people like Lemmy

I’ve experienced something similar to this when I sleep coming off a meth high. It feels weird like I’m in another alternate reality.
