Yes the thread could go anywhere, and no Cowboy Mac, I agree we don't need another dick sizing thread. But some interesting things may be learned given the opportunity.
Perhaps when describing your longest binge period, it would be relevant to also mention your age at the time, and in relation to this, how such activity does or would affect you at this present age.
When I first tried speed in 1979, a night of no sleep was a dreaded thought. After a strong hesititation and reluctance 8(, I tried speed after a mate I respected had. After my show of disapproval, he stated that I couldn't be objective or critical if I didn't at least try it.
I did, and went 9 or 10 days with no sleep, snorting it continuously. Around the 8th or 9th night I was exausted, and being a Sunday, and having no speed for that day, I finally set in for a good nights sleep. A friend [?] offered to make a milo, and after I brought the cup out, he grinned showing me some crystal meth. You guessed it, some had gone in my milo.
That night was positively the worst night I remember. I took the next day off work and slept through to the following night. I didn't take speed/meth again for 10 years. I hated it, and stayed away from it until only a few years ago. I couldn't even begin to imagine doing anything like that time now; age and sensibility being the definitive factors most probably. I have done several 24 hour periods of no sleep, and the odd 2-3 days with a few hours here and there, but as would be expected, the consequences can be severe if it's not well planned for.
Like any drug but particularly this one, the psychological and physiological changes that occur with speed seem to alter as use progresses. Even though any current binges are (personally considered) moderately spaced and restricted to insuflation of a glucose mix, there has been some noticable change in my bio-rhythms and sleeping patterns over this period. I can speculate on what this is pharmacologically, but can one ever really discern whether is it a product completely of this use, or merely a hastening or even natural decline associated with aging?
