Uhh... hrm. That's odd. Candy Xtasy and Narcosis have me a bit confused.
Where I'm from tweaker tends to mean meth/speed/glass/insert-stimulant-here addict. Yanno, the skittish sweating kids who run out and pace around the apartment and wind up gathering around the coffee table to snort No-Doz. Pyro picking thru his carpet for yellow specks. Me two years ago.
*shrug*
You've seen the bumpersticker "Tweakers suck" I'm sure. I have to disagree of course. My self esteem tells me I don't suck. Pyro is beloved here. (and I hope he doesn't take offense at me using him as an example.. none was intended. He has my total respect and admiration,) As for the kids who snorted all my No-Doz a couple months ago, well such behavior can grate, naturally. But every one of those kids round the coffee table has had their moments of beauty and brilliance. That's why I still count them friends. So that bumpersticker pisses me off, that people would generalize like that, and especially pinpoint someone else's weakness.
Dammit, and I was gonna let this topic go.
So much for that plan.
Okay back to your definition. Which is odd, but let's go with it. If that's what it means then tweakers still don't suck. Feel sorry for them! How awful to fear chemical indulgance allatime coz you might flip out and lose control at the drop of a hat.
And just now I glance back up at the title and realize the original question is 'Are tweakers a GOOD thing...' Uh. Huh?
I'd have to say no to that one too. And on the same note, if I could keep the upper hand with the shit, I would still be a hardcore speedfreak today.
