Meth ⫸Methamphetamine Megathread⫷

Howdy from West Coast USSA. Been habitual user after motorcycle accident put me out on disability for 3+ months, my ending amicably a 10+ year relationship, and about a year after the accident my Father pass on from his 2nd heart attack, we were very close and I couldn't conceive the strength of this connection and how it affected me. Recreational substance use has been a feature of my life since I started w LSD at 18 and a long love affair with psychedelics. I have a sequence of events and just seeing if it has any echos of familiarity with others. When I was 22 or so extasy and MDMA popped up on my scene and were only found at parties which was tragic for me. Probably around the 15th to the 20th time using I found that it drastically changed for me and I did find the value for the money anymore and the occasional testing of the waters every 3 years or so show no change or no reversal back to the first. Those were filled with an astounding increase in libido (baseline is high drive so kinda redundant but the euphoria was there also) The transformation make it so I feel great, talkative, touchy feely, inc empathy but a lack of increased libido and marked change in the euphoria to one of great contentment. Might be great on paper but the toll is too high in money and the come down, and without the effects I loved there is no reason for me using it.

Side note I don't care for the high from coke unless it's very pure where encephalation produces no sniffles and irritation to the sinuses but then it is just a hyper sociable change w low grade 2nd that could make some part of sex better but I hate 30-40 minute yoyo effect.

So my introduction and reasons I had been using was to be able to hangout with people who did get a lot of enjoyment from meth and they would feel awkward to be using around me as the stigma is huge. Again my experience is that I don't get the kind of libido changes except increased hyper fixation on porn (if I am not playing with the others), wakefulness and Tina Dick that is so extreme no pill can conquer it as my mind literally can't stay focused on the task at hand and I will be thinking about the most random things like that power out over there is it fused with a circuit breaker? Until I sorted out the dosage I was very hateful towards meth for embarrassing me and ruining my enjoyment.

Anyone personally have a similar experience or know of others that report similar? I think it should be in the realm of the possible as certain people respond differently to substances (not even considering allergic reaction as that's a very specific pathway physiologically), changes to neurology happen but I don't know enough about the brain chemistry to say that X/MDMA (knowingly mixing the terms because there is no way to tell at this point what was in the stuff I took way back so this is intentional not ignorance), meth and cocaine share enough of the mechanisms to have a reaction change in one substance be echoed in the others. That's all for now, got some lovely dermatological issues (seboraic dermatitis here) and I forgot to mention neurodivergent dyslexic here diagnosed in 4th grade at a time when this stuff was just becoming more publicized and I give great thanks to the opthalmologist who by sheer luck just happened to be reading up on dyslexia and made the diagnosis changing my understanding that I was not "stupid" but different that required a different approach to learning taking me from the risk of being held back to performing on par with my peers to reading at above a college level at the end of 2 years from the diagnosis.
 
So, I'm not sure if these have been mentioned before, but I have a 20$ "Smoke Buddy" personal air purifier that works extremely well for hotel rooms!

...At least, I've never been busted before...I smoke cigarettes, 420 and ice, and so far, so good!
 
thinking of trying IV meth. eating it and smoking it is doing not doing enough for me now.

is IV that much better than the other routes of administration?
 
Have never injected it so cannot say from experience but from what I've heard it kicks the same way as other drugs when IV'd as opposed to snorting, smoking or whatever

Just reading some of your recent posts (and this one) strongly suggest that it would be a really seriously bad idea for you to start doing that.

It sound like the party is over for you regarding stims tbh, and that's a really handy thing to become aware of when that juncture is reached (which it always will be at some point). All best wishes
 
Switching to IV is a game changer for most. There’s not much comparison to other ROAs (routes of administration) during the first few minutes, however after the initial rush wears off, the high is essentially the same. I always preferred smoking and enjoyed the gradual rise in euphoria, but IV gives it to you all at once. No other ROA gives a rush like IV and that’s why its so much more addictive. You IV for the rush, otherwise why take the added risks associated with IV use when the next 10 hours (after the first few minutes) will feel the same as any other ROA?

If you struggle to control your use with other ROAs, then it’s a mistake to go IV, you’ll struggle more. If you keep trying to repeat that first rush, tolerance builds quickly and soon your doses are escalating, and all the negative effects that come with that. It’s not a decision to take lightly. Stay safe and all the best!

Yeah quality advice.

How long this initial rush last?? roughly.

I find it starts to hit you before the plunger is all the way in. It builds very quickly and peaks about 10 seconds after you’ve pulled the needle out. If you do a decent amount then for about 1 to 2 minutes you’re basically paralyzed by a mixture of ecstasy and all the muscles in your body tensing up. You can’t do anything that requires physical dexterity during those first couple minutes. Then it starts to kind of wash away and the high becomes more normalized, i.e. like any other ROA. After about 10 minutes it’s like the peak high for other ROA’s keeping in mind that it takes much much longer to reach that level of peak high depending on the ROA. Maybe a half hour or more of continuous smoking if you go that route, or an hour or more if you ingest, etc. etc.
 
Recently acquired some "ephedrine based meth", which runs and smokes just like meth in the pipe, but has basically no effect whatsoever. Very, very disappointing, yet realistic fake of meth.
What substances could potentially behave and look a lot like meth, but not have a high?
The crystals are really light and fine, and quite small.
Not looking for a substance ID, but just wondering if there are substances that can have these properties. Thanks y'all!
 
Well a bit on meth chemistry in case you didn’t know, but methamphetamine occurs as two mirror isomers, levomethamphetamine (l-meth) and dextromethamphetamine (d-meth). It’s the dextromethamphetamine isomer that provides the wonderful effects on our central nervous system that we all love. Most meth that’s sold is typically a mixture of the two and called racemic methamphetamine. Good cooks try to maximize the amount of d-meth, which is difficult and complex to do. Shitty meth tends to be primarily l-meth which lacks the euphoria.

Then there’s the whole range of cuts that can be added, and there’s many if you do some research. Personally, I’d test your product to see if there’s any meth in there at all. There’s inexpensive test kits you can buy online, or simple and crude tests you can try at home like putting a small shard in bleach. If it doesn’t fizzle and dance around, it’s not meth. I can tell by the taste if it’s meth. But with all these tests, you can’t tell the product’s purity, only if meth is present. You need a lab to find that out. Personally, I’d throw the product in question out and find a new source.

Most common are benzylamines such as isopropylbenzylamine, how it ends up looking kinda depends on the method of recrystallized.

How much should one person take at a time?
Depends on the person's tolerance, quality of dope, setting and mindframe...
For myself: I usually shot 1/8th of a gram of decent powder, less when I had some ice.

How often should you do a shot?
See above
For myself: I usually felt the need to redose about every 6-8 hours.

How do you know when you have been 'smoked down'?
Don't know what that means

When is it time to up your dosage?
When your usual dosage doesn't get you high or relieve crash symptoms.

What are the steps in preparing a shot of ice? Water - Dope ratio
I'd say 50%-50% is about right, to start. As a person gains their own technique they become set in their ways. Like me for instance: with heroin, I would always use a full 100 units of water when I would shoot a dose (usually 1/10th of a gram). People would say, "Damn, how much water do you use?" because they would usually use 30-80 units. It was just my own method.
That said, just put dope in spoon, add water, some people add heat but some don't. Filter, draw, slam.

Wats up guys, im a bit of a regular user of meth but am still not touching the needle. It is damm tempting but I know its over if I do it, just out of curiosity what does the buzz actually feel like. The only time I would do it is if I was old and retired and had the money.
Click to expand...
It's ok buzz, but I am over it. I just shoot 0.04 5 6 or 7. I use to do 0.18 the buzz is to much. 5 min later I am at the knock shop waisting 1000s on hookers.
Do stuff to my body that I would never do straight. When I was doing larger shots every time I would say to myself I will not act that way this time.. 10min later I, do the same shit.
I just shot 0.06. Good rush nearly spewed.. Now just getting shit done, like cleaning, eating, trying educate instead of trying to put some things where they don't fit.. Lol

I will have to agree with this one~~I will not do it any other way now. If I'm gonna get high, I'm gonna shoot it. My best advice here is not to move on to a different form of administration until you are bored with the one you are currently using. If you just luv blowin clouds or takin capsules, stick with it. Because once u feel that rush, u are pretty much gonna stick with the needle.



For me, the rush is my favorite part. IMHO, the rush depends on the purity of the meth, the amount you are consuming, and the amount of water you use. If you have a decent size shot of good quality meth that is diluted half water half dope you will prolly get an amazing rush. It starts as a burning (not painful) in your stomach and it rises up your chest and exits as a cough. For me tho, it not only rushes up, but it also heads south and exits in 'other' areas. ;) I get all tingly and hot. It's very intense! I've never taken heroin so I can't tell you how it compares. The high that is left behind is Euphoric and steady for a few hours. Sometimes I will be productive......but sometimes I am taken hostage by my computer!

Heroin rush is ok but I can't handle the spewing up.. So I smoke h and whack ice

dose i prefer is 1/4 gram but wouldnt recommend for first time or really high grade but i find trying to stretch out my bag leaves me fein worse
Click to expand...
0.25 is way too much for first time, I think same. I have been shooting for 6 months I think my biggest shot was 0.2.. Now I just have 0.07 give or take 1/4 of a point.
Going to work 0.04, going to the girls 0.1.. Good enough and more for later

I was an IV meth user for about 6 months. I don't remember a whole lot. The majority of it was a blur, between the substance abuse and the physical and mental abuse from my boyfriend, I think my brain has just subconsciously blocked a lot of those memories out. I *DO* remember my first time, though... wow is all I can say. I couldn't even see straight, and I felt like I wet my pants (not pee, either)! After that, everytime we were gettin ready for a shot, I'd have to poop first, because I would get so excited! I never acheived that same high, although I'd come very close. Sometimes I'd get sleepy immediately after a shot. I have no idea why, because it is an upper - not a downer. But I'd nod kind of like what I see heroin users do. I've never done H, so I can't compare the two... but it was extremely strange! And it was pure, too. We made the shit ourselves, so we know it didn't have anything else in it. I never wanted to continue abusing on a daily basis like we did, but I had an abusive stalker boyfriend who would accuse me of sleeping with other men/women and getting high without him. He'd say that's why I didn't want to get high with him. When in reality, I just wanted to quit. Anyway, I never shot myself up - it was always him, and he NEVER missed. Not once! I once asked him what the most he'd given me was, and I guess my tolerance was up to about a .75 gram per shot (and I'm naturally a very small girl. 115 lbs off dope, got down to about 100lbs when I was using). He had these really cool glass syringes.. HUGE fuckers. Could hold a lot more than a regular insulin needle. Sorry for this being so long, I haven't talked to anyone about this in a long, LONG time. I quit cold turkey 2 years ago.

Holly shit that a big shot.. I miss a few times, not the whole shot. 10 units something like that. Never bothered me though. I feel like sleeping straight after a shot some times.. I think it's just relief that the anticipation is over for now

Meth Iv questions new user

First off ive never started a thread(is that right) i hope this is in the right place. So here it goes.... The first time I really tried meth was about 6 weeks ago. I decided to Iv it and the rush was great and kept wanting more so I would keep shooting every hour or so not knowing that's crazy but no one told me. I have a pretty extensive drug history but opiates are my first choice. Ironically I have add and take adderall daily but anyway I'm getting off topic I wanted to ask a few questions but I have not been able to find them in other forums.
1. Is it normal for one's heart to kind of hurt when using meth
2. I really like the rush when I IV how often can I safely Iv meth?
3. (maybe off topic but I think it's relevant) I used to Iv heroin and I've had bad veins from the start. I've gained weight on methadone so it's even worse although I've been using my breasts . Is this safe? Also I used to be a pro I could hit with either hand but Ive been outa practice for about 5 years so is there a trick I can use to use my non. Dominant hand because I see a lot of veins on my right arm? LoOking for some better techniques one handed with left hand
4. What are some signs of od with meth?
5. Can children get meth in there system by touching me or sharing drink with me when I'm high?
6. I've never been told how much to do. I've done meth mow 3 times but each time was a 3 dayer anyway with average meth how much would u use as a beginner? I fear Ive been doing too much and waaaY To often

I apologize for being l over the place I just wanna be able to have a good time every few weeks and I wanna be safe and infortinately I have no one to really ask that I would trust? Please help and anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated! I know I've forgot several questions I had so anything is helpful thanks

No tip on different hands.. I must be genetically lucky.. I don't even think about which hand I use just looking for best vain... Actually I am right handed and most my shots go in that arm.. Funny never really thought about which side to use... Football in my country, we use feet to kick and hands for handballs. As a kid constantly kick and handballing with both sides of body to

i also want to gravedig this one like the poster above -- but for different reasons!

i wanted to specifically touch on shooting up in your breasts, which is something i did a lot when i was using IV. i strongly advise against it.

i was the type of IV'er who didn't give a fuck if she was missing. i would spend hours trying to hit sometimes, so when i finally got it, nothing could stop me from full sending it. super stupid, obviously, and i have faced a lotta consequences from that mindset. there was a point where both my breasts were completely covered in bruises and lumps, even went to the doctor for it. almost all the lumps went away with time, as lumps from misses usually do. all except for one. i am waiting for my appointment to get that lump checked out still, and will update this post with any relevant info once i do.

i can't answer exactly on the safeness of it, but i know from my experience that it isn't something that should be considered first when locating veins.
