(rambling) first crystal meth experience.
I just googled "meth comedown" (for the expected reasons) and I ended up here. I read the experiences of others, so I thought I'd share my recent and only experiences with crystal meth.
I have dabbled in most substances over the years, the only exception being crack cocaine, never had access to it.
Recently, I managed to get my hands on about half a gram (which I'm told is a sizable amount and also worth a lot in the UK). A good friend from the other side of the world (sounds odd, but we used to live in Thailand and did a lot of yaa baa there), assured me it was top grade stuff and encouraged me to obtain the Sweet Puff pipe.
While I was waiting for the pipes to arrive, I couldn't resist taking some crystal orally. I work twelve hour shifts, so before work I took what would be considered less than a "key blast" from the blade of a very small swiss army knife (to give you an idea of the amount). I just licked it. Horrible, but easily washed away.
Now, that shift at work was a blast. The first thing that struck me was that nobody seemed to notice I was wired. It felt like a very clean speed high. I occasionally would stutter or trip over a word, but other than that, I just felt amazing. I had the bag out in my car, but knowing this shit is strong, I avoided taking more.
I then went home and slept fine! In a weird way, this worried me as I could easily imagine myself using it everyday, if I had easy access to it.
The second day, I did the same but overdid the dosage out of greed a bit. The work experience was the same, but that night wasn't much fun. Nothing like what I've read here, but a little crazy, to be sure.
The point, so far, is there was little comedown at all. I asked my friend and he said again that this was really good stuff. The type of line you here all the time, but it seemed to ring true.
So, to the weekend.................
The pipe arrived in the post. Beer was bought. A friend invited round. I researched the tricky art of smoking the meth bong.
To cut a long rambling post (coincidence?) shorter, we have a great evening/morning. I read some people reporting that they didn't get high. I can relate to that as i FELT somewhat sober and clear-headed. I knew I wasn't however.
Here's the bit that freaked me out. I could not leave that pipe alone for a good twenty four hours. I know I made the choice to pick it up, but I was concerned about just how appealing that ritual of smoking the meth was and how it just seemed to click with me. My friend took a nap, I continued to smoke, drink beers (and not the feel the effect) and watch youtube.
My friend went home. Did I stop? Did I fuck. I sat there and hit that pipe until I ran out of meth.
It was a kind of relief when it was finished. I found myself thinking about how easily addictive this stuff is.
I was worried that I would be high as a kite for the next few days, but after a long, cold walk to the shops, a bottle of red wine and the effects of all that beer finally kicked in and I was in bed for about 1am on Sunday. I had started about 7pm on Friday.
It's now 4.30pm on Sunday and although I don't feel like running a marathon, I feel pretty....okay.
I felt dirty and was brushing my teeth early on Saturday morning while still high. I remember changing a t-shirt last night and ripping the stitching while taking it off!
What concerns me, is how appealing I found the experience. Oh yeah, there was usual hours and hours of porn after my friend left. An old habit from my yaa baa days.
I am NOT here to gloat (for all I know there is worse to come), I am just glad I do not have easy access to this stuff here in the UK. There was no end of the world comedown. My appetite is back. My jaw doesn't hurt too badly. I just don't feel great, but I reckon I've come out the other end okay.
The fact that this post is over-long has not escaped me, however.
So, while I am not trivialising this drug, I see easily how it could get its claws into me, I just thought I'd add my recent experience. I do not plan on repeating it anytime soon, but regular amphetamine would seem like a cup of coffee to me now...
