Nice Try. ;)
Hey BL, it's been a bit. I wanted to know if someone could explain to me the difference that a clean piece makes. My buddy/dealer claims if you smoke from a dirty one or put too much in, it will cause you to burn through your meth faster. Is that true? If so, why?

Also, I have always heard people say to brush your teeth a few times a day when smoking meth. Lately, however, I see people saying that it strips the enamel off of your teeth. I really don't want meth mouth, so I need to know the best way of cleaning my teeth; brushing, flossing and mouthwash, or all of the above?

I really appreciate any feedback or thoughts on this.

Thanks,
S.P.
 
Sorry, but I must ask, "Do you really have to smoke it"?

IME orally was unbeatable.

OK, got that out of the way, your "buddy/dealer" is right.
And by smoking meth it not only erodes your teeth, but will have a permanent effect on your eyes/eye.
I need a new cornea from smoking it for 3 years (about 4 years ago), and I am not the only one who has had this happen to them.
Brushing, mouthwash etc, might help but in the long term the damage will become apparent.

At least try taking it orally once, if you have to take it at all.

Good luck.
 
I had never even heard of it having an effect on one's eyes. How does that happen just from smoking? Is it the vapor?
I don't have to smoke it, but I feel like I'm addicted to the ROA more than the drug itself, if such a thing is even possible. I never really liked it the couple times I snorted.
 
I have never heard of it damaging the eyes.. wtf!

I like to rinse my mouth with salt water or listerine right after smoking, but not brush the teeth until a bit later when the mouth pH balances out (I don't like the idea of brushing enamel off the teeth otherwise, seems a bit counterproductive!)
 
One other question I realized that I should ask. I lost some teeth in a tragic golfing accident and had them replaced with porcelain crowns. Will smoking have any detrimental effect on them, or are they safe since they're fake?
 
Definitely damages your eyes and teeth.

At 16 my boyfriend got me into smoking crystal. I was never a heavy user, I would smoke maybe once a month or less.
But to this day I have a chip in my front tooth and after binges I would notice my eyes yellowing and red lines and shit.
It's improved since I stopped using a few years ago and never looked back, but my eyes haven't gone back to how they were before.

You guys have to remember that methamphetamine is highly toxic. You're basically poisoning yourself with extremely harsh chemicals whenever you consume it.
 
I'm pretty sure the reason it messes up your teeth is due to the lack of saliva it induces. Saliva-based enzymes are no longer able to do their job, and the dry mouth effect tends to cause exacerbation of other symptoms that damage teeth (grinding of teeth, lack of food consumption due to appetite suppression leading to bacteria not being "cleared" by chewing, etc). Then again, I could be wrong, but I've always understood it to primarily be due to dryness.

That's a great point, people always mention the dry mouth is a major factor. It just seems like everyone has a pet theory on this. I just want to know how to reduce the negative side-effects.
 
Keep hydrated.. I have a glass of water (or tea) in front of me and make myself take regular sips of it.
 
I always clean my pipe everytime I load up. I swear it does make it last longer i'm not sure why, but also lets me see whats goin on in there so you can twirl better.
 
I always like to keep my pip nice and clean. Smoking one thats covered with soot and is burnt out from top down is just rank imo..

Honestly, I find the worst part about the dehydration to be how painful it makes bowel movements. Ouch!

When I tweak I dread going to take a piss. Feels like squeezing every drop if piss out is wrenching my bladder sphincter muscles in half, its that painful!!

When I take more than my prescribed dose of vyvanse I swear it's as if my bladder can hold 4 times the normal amount. I've literally had people say things to me in public restrooms after hearing me piss for so long that they'll ask if I'm ok haha
 
The residue left after smoking a pipe, when another is packed it rests on the residue, preventing you from getting the most out of your bowl cos it just adds to the existing residue seeping in. A clean pipe you can see the puddle crystallise and solidify making sureit doesn't take too long to set and turns the right opaque off white colour. You know where the gear is and can roll it round and see the gear enabling you to spread the gear out so you don't burn it by hitting it In the same spot each time. It's pedantic but you do get more out of a clean pipe
 
The heat applied to a clean piece also is better distributed and conducted with less pre-used recrystalized matter in it
