hey guys i'm sure this has been answered somewhere before but im hoping for a quick answer: anyone know if a better purity in ice decreases the potential of common side-effects? also, i have heard higher purity makes it more addictive as well is this true?
 
If the side effects are from cuts in the meth, then yes, more purity = better experience = more likely to be addicting.

But some of the side effects of meth are dose-related and simply unavoidable. Usually meth isn't cut with cuts that actually effect the experience, either, just stupid filler.
 
Better quality usually means increased dose which could mean improved experience with less perception of side effects. To a point.
 
If your talking about paranoia, delusions, psychosis, rage. Then the cuts don't cause this, the pure drug causes this

possibly, if some side effects are due to adulterants in the weaker meth. generally speaking, you should prefer purer meth. there's at least a chance that the stuff used for cutting is unhealthy or outright dangerous.

nevertheless, you still gotta make an apples-to-apples comparison. if product A is 90% pure meth and product B is 45% pure meth, you need to compare dose X of A with dose 2X of B. as long as you're taking the same amount of meth, addictiveness should be the same (unless cutting agents are psychoactive).

Better quality usually means increased dose which could mean improved experience with less perception of side effects. To a point.
i cannot follow you there. if the increased purity leads you to taking a larger amount of meth, you should expect more side effects. conventional wisdom is that side effects increase with dose.
