Meth ⫸Methamphetamine Megathread⫷

Shieet im high as a mutha fuckin kite right now. Who fucking even knows how long i have been trolling around on this thread for.
Anyways, i just iv'ed probably .3 and im pretty high. Everytime i shoot meth i get this crazy feeling in my chest more than anything else.
Its as if someone has poured a pitcher of ice cold water on my chest, im sure this is normal seeing as its happend to me everytime ive shot dope. anyone else feel that intense cold chest rush?
I have to switch back and forth between smoking and shooting the shit. Slamming meth makes my body just scream for help, health wise. Everything seems to deteriorate at a way faster rate than smoking it, my veins get all restricted and the skin all over my body turns red and purplish. My sweat seems to crystalize on the outside of my skin. i get all these weird body aches. I only shoot it for the intensity of the high, i mean who wants to shoot a bunch of tar and fall asleep? i'd rather shoot a bunch of shards and go catch a fuckin fish or something.
well i am satisfied now that i have wasted hours of my life reading about shooting meth and being able to throw my pointless banter into the mix.

Oh and just to throw it out there, i dont know who some of you are kidding but i didnt learn how to shoot meth at a fucking doctors office, so all this microfiber, serile jesus water and fresh rigs everytime you do a shot? That must be the responsible drug addicts in you...no.


There's nothing wrong with taking the extra 2 seconds to be a little safer when sticking needles into your arm, man...

There's nothing cool about being a dirty junkie and not taking care of yourself.

May I ask a question of any of the users here who'd like to respond? I'd just like any volunteered examples of people's dosages and dosing schedule as it composes their habit. I myself binge pretty much every 2 weeks for about 2 weeks, and after the gram or two is gone the cycle completes itself and turns back around again whenever I deny that this shit has gotten me hooked. So I use about a point or more a day, but never go beyond 2 points a day, and have a rhythm with a mixture of sleeping pills that seems to keep me from pulling too many zombiethons (lapping two sunrises I consider to be the beginning of vampire territory and not worth the fun).

Now I have a friend who will binge on half a gram in about 12 hours, and if you give him a whole gram he'll somehow have that down in the same 12 hours, like it was food or something.

I know I'm fucking up my brain with this ridiculous habit, but what is the real statistical face of meth addiction and its damages on the people responsible enough to keep track of how much theyre using (such as you and us here on BL)? I don't deny it's a someone vain attempt at gauging the relativity of my own addiction, but I'd simply like to know how the lot of you are using out there, whether you're weekend bingers or maintenence tweakers, and how much it takes for you to put down til you pick up again?


Surely it's been asked, I just thought I'd post here since this is the megathread and all. BTW I don't IV, but I plug like it's the next best thing (it totally is).

My boyfriend and I both IV and smoke. I wish a gram would last us more than 6 hours. as far as schedule... We do it when we want to but with IV its different... always chasing. Smoking doesn't work anymore. We only use our bitch when we need to get it into our system so the comedown doesn't suck

I always thought i wouldn't let myself get addicted. The comedown gets better after a few days but the shit takes over your head. it takes over your reality and changes your perceptions. Even tho I hate myself for doing it, I love it and cant get away. its not even that fun at least not anymore. Shoot... get stuck... have sex repeat
 
my boyfriend and i iv alot we have gone thru 2gs today...... This has been going on for a while.. we have recently quit for a week here and a few days there as our body were about to give out (tips for coming down while in a relationship would be great.)

He cant get hard sometimes, and when he does he cant bust.... sometimes he gives up...
and his sex drive went way down .... HELP

lately when he ivs he pokes registers and hes in, shoots half reregisters and is good then pushes and misses .... tips?
 
My step dad used methamphetamine several times a day for years and stopped it cold turkey. I don't know how he did it, but he did. However, he only smoked it or snorted it. He was HIGHLY against IVing it.
 
Ive never had this before,

honestly was pretty lazy about it this time around, and reused a syringe. powdered .4 g of methamphetamine, put in back of syringe pulled up 4 units of water shook syringe until it dissolved. i don't use tourniquets, got it in, pulled got a flash, started pushing slowly, eventually felt some pain, re flashed and finished. Did not miss because i got an insane rush, and were talking about a guy who usually wont fuck around with anything less than .6g of meth in a shot.

I usually do whole gram shots of 4-mec, it takes two syringes, and nothing smaller than a 29 guage needle. and really fucking good aim (by far the best euphoric clean rush i have ever had, better than powerballing dope and tar)

anygay

didn't notice till hours later that my arm was numb from elbow down, red not swollen. have heated with compress, soaked in Epsom solution, reheated with compress and cooled down with compress, taken ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, put neosporin and cortisone 10 cream on entire affected site. The tiny spot were i missed a smidgen is almost gone can hardly feel it , it is a tad bit tender, hardly noticeable, but the INSANE numbness down my forearm to my wrist is very noticeable and the redness. ive straight up MISSEd half a gram in my arm before and never had this issue, its been 24 hours and the most is the lump has gone away, just super super fucking numb.

did not hit an artery

Yes im aware of the thickness of the shot, the fat i didnt draw it up pre mixed, and the re-used syringe. I just read so many posts I cant reall ypeace it together. any suggestions before i stroll down to the er?


Im not worried, just confused.
 
Hey I'm sorry nobody got back to you very quickly, and hope you're OK.

If it's not an allergic reaction, or damage to a nerve, it might be accelerated hypertension. Hope you did what you said, and saw a doc. Even better, I hope it all went away right after you typed it, and didn't have to go. Please update when you can.
 
I find it easy to start/stop meth use IME.

Ageed.

Only issue I have with coming down off crystal is the sweaty, anxious, and annoying residual stimulation. I'm also on 70mg of methadone and when I use crystal, it pushes the methadone out of my system too fast and can definitely cause opioid WDs. My friends on MMT that IV shards have the same issue.

The sweaty, anxious, annoying residual stimulation sucks. However I'm putting up with it in lieu of using CNS depressants or other drugs like shatter/hash oil/wax.

Earlier I had a shot that was so potent I had the inital "cough" then I had a violent cough and there was a brief moment where I involuntarily was shaking my head side to side like a dog that just got out of water; it was something else. I was really careful to not vomit (had to sit still for many minutes).

The best advice I can give you is to embrace how you feel and to take a deep breath, stretch a bit, and enable the way you feel to be perceived as good. :)
 
I've done a week without having that happen tbph... six days twice in two separate years before that.

Thanks for informing me - was asking for a friend <3

I was wondering why I hadn't ever seen a buddy ever have this happen to them for hours on end - I can ONLY IMAGINE 12 hours of it!

What was your dosage? 0.05g? 0.5g? 0.5g is an abusive, near-fatal (for some) dosage, and I don't recommend it, but it's the "higher end" of the spectrum of doses that users have done around me without dying (and they actually hit euphoria only)
 
...it was bad. I never had the worms crawling on my skin kind of thing, but something close: I swear I could see smoke wisping out of my hair follicles. It was terrible. The radio was on, talk radio, news. And then they started talking about me. And were saying exactly what was happening to me as I was doing it. I lost my perception. Couldn't see anything closer than arm's length...or was it that I couldn't see anything further? Can't really remember now. And then I started trying to figure it all out...like, why it was happening. Rationalizing it. I thought the shower I'd taken had somehow reacted with hydrochloric acid that I must have absorbed through my skin earlier that day and was producing hydrogen gas beneath my skin. The more I thought about it, the more obvious is was. This ended up with me naked in front of a mirror, and an X-acto knife, freaking out, and putting tiny punctures into my skin where the gas was building up painfully. I'd poke, and POP, and a wisp of smoke would escape. I ended up slicing all of the joints on my fingers, and every time I'd squeeze my hand into a fist, smoke would puff out. Finally, some friends who were (of course) hours late, finally showed up, and tried to convince me none of it was real... Bad shit. Will never go back.

And, this happened a second time, too... but even though it was just as real, I predicted it would happen before I took the shower that "set it off." Don't miss that at ALL.

(I ended up wearing army coveralls afterward, so I wouldn't react w/ the air outside at too quickly a rate. You know the craziness that goes with amphetamine psychosis.)

It's been more than ten years since I messed w/ meth.

...OH yeah - I splashed water on my face, because my face felt like it was starched, and I it was like I was electrocuted, I went into convulsions, and even ejaculated. (TMI?) Then after I shaved, I could see an oil crystallizing on my skin where I'd just shaved, and I scraped it off and smoked it, and got even higher.

I mean, I'm laughing out loud now, but what a pathetic piece of work I was back then.
 
One time I thought my family and friends were all conspiring to frame me for some incredibly heinous crime that would put me away for life. The paranoia was out of this world and I was hearing and seeing things that were indistinguishable from reality. I was hiding, careful to stay away from windows because I was sure there was a sniper across the street. I needed to cross the room so I ran quickly past the window and POP a bottle flew off the table as if it had been struck by a bullet and hit the floor. I reset the bottle on the table and when I went past the table again the same thing happened. That shit was 730 yo!! I still have no idea if some of the crazy shit really happened or not but it was indistinguishable from reality. There were a few strange occurrances that were confirmed by someone else in the same room and they experienced the same thing.

I no longer use meth but I suggest not pushing it too far.

I experienced a lot of strange stuff on meth as well. Strange things that were also verified by others who were not under the influence. I've been clean for 6 or 7 months and still have no explanation for the things I experienced.

Methamphetamine can push the mind to extreme limits. Be mindful.

My advice for anyone considering IV'ing meth for the first time is don't. The hell I personally underwent is indescribable. I've done multiple drugs regularly, but meth was the only drug I had a problem with. Its effects on life are deceiving; regaining/maintaining control is a strong illusion that even the strong willed fail to realize.

I struggle with sobriety every month; that rig and that rush will stay with you forever. There is no escaping that memory, and it is tortuous

. This is not my first attempt at staying clean; I've been trying to kick meth permanently every year I used. Next thing I know a decade has passed and I have 6 months again.

I can say every serious downfall in my life was indirectly or directly caused by meth.
 
I've recently gotten into IV meth. I've been away from it for a couple of months. I wish i never got into in the first place. I want it everyday. And i think because i've been abusing my dopamine system. I woke up today after sleeping after a binge. got a head/chest rush, but not that good of a high. It should've been better. but then again, so then i did another shot and got more of a taste in the back of my throat. But yeah, If anyone is interested in IV meth, just DONT! Stick to snorting or smoking. That buzz is unreal....I just hate how much more the prices are here in NYC compared to the midwest and the west coast.

Agreed. I've been off for 7 months, and that high HAUNTS me everyday. I think about it every fucking day. I hate it. I always want it. People don't understand that, although they may be able to quit using, that you never lose a taste for it.
