Meth ⫸Methamphetamine Megathread⫷

[N0ph0n0]

Btw i slept pretty well with just my normal 0.1mg dose of clonidine (tbh it was only one puff but still normally i would'nt sleep on 1 puff with zero tolerance)

 

[N0ph0n0]

I called the plug mentioned above to yell at him that he better get me my meth today (this is Canada not the states, some low level street dealer does not have a gun and this guy does'nt look like he weighs over a hundred pound), as we argued my mom appeared. I thought she was buying groceries or something, i think it's a good thing idk i really wanted meth but a part of me thinks meth is bad.

 

[BadBoy377]

You said it, mate. Doesn't really do you any good does it?

I think @Keif' Richards put it really well in a post on the subject but maybe in another thread. Along the lines of if it's not making your life better and you're not even making anyone else life better either then it's not really worth it...

Which I took to mean if you're using and getting tasks done, looking after people, helping your mom get her groceries and cutting her grass etc then fair enough. But if you're just sitting around smoking pipe and trying to masturbate your flaccid meth cock then... Well. Maybe get a better hobby.

Is that basically it, @Keif' Richards ?

Well meth does make me productive, i dont just sit around jacking off (if anything i jack off less often since i think stim fappers are pathethic), it's just that my mom does'nt want me to become a homeless drug addict like my dad (hes currently not homeless but the other day he asked me his unemployed son who's source of income is walking dogs and doing yardwork if he could borrow 20 bucks because his credit cards "are glitched or something" aka he maxxed them to buy stuff to sell at a pawn shop for heroin when he makes 70k a year)

Yes @BadBoy377 that is correct. I´m referring to the part regarding the ¨ flaccid meth penis¨. Can we all please take a goddamn moment and think about the sheer punishment we inflict upon our penises whilst under the influence of Methamphetamine?

In my mind, this is one of those ¨Melissa Etheridge¨ SPCA commercials. It´s that sad music playing to a rotating rogue´s gallery of punished penises. There´s ¨angry, purple and veiny¨, then there´s ¨Choad a la mode¨ a penis so misused he has mostly retreated back into the relative safety of the scrotum whilst the top-side portion of the dick is kept in a perpetual bath of Jergens, the ¨Rocky Balboa¨ a penile pugilist, black and blue, tired, confused... but, following 9 or so hours of moderate-cadence jerking, the penis yells ¨ADRIENNE!¨ before ejaculating such a large quantity of reproductive fluid that you´re already scoping out Rug Doctors/wondering how to explain this to your landlord.

All jokes aside, yea @BadBoy377 you´ve got my philosophy. I had to develop my own. I was in an ¨honest¨ program, yet to tell these people that I´m on Methadone and not willing to stop; that´s not sobriety to a lot of people. I started asking myself what it was all about; what made the 12-steps work. In the end, it was honesty.

When they say ¨take a drink¨ I understand that this means breaking down and giving in to my addiction. Even if Alcohol isn´t really my big problem, I can experience solidarity with my people because we all know what that feeling is like, whether Alcohol, Heroin or whatever.

When they say ¨sobriety¨ this means something different for me. See, I take Methadone, Lisdexamfetamine, Pregabalin sometimes and I smoke weed. Basically, most fellowships would call me a fool and tell me to come back when I was serious.

I didn´t have the option available to immediately and completely cease all of these drugs, nor did I really want to. The concept of ¨sobriety¨ had to mean: I create the framework for my life. I know that if I drink Alcohol, do a little Cocaine etc. it will lead to chaos every time. Why can I smoke weed in moderation? Why am I able to have my cartridge in my pocket all day and not use it? I´m not sure. I only know that Cannabis does not derail my life as other substances do.

Sobriety means I do not EVER take more than what I am prescribed of anything. If I were to take an extra Vyvanse this morning? Well, that is failing my sobriety.

I look at my life right now, at this very moment. I´m taking these different substances. Am I showing up at work and giving everything I´ve got for my people? Am I able to be honest about everything I´ve done, to everyone? Do the people who love and care about me, feel I care about them in the same way. This is the blueprint I have used in my life to try to understand where and how I can fit in.

I´m also not saying I do these things perfectly. We all go through hard times and none of us are perfect. Just shoot for honesty, kindness and balance.

 

[Godjilla]

You tell me you need a few minutes to do important work, helping those in need and all that. Then, I find you´re writing spoken word poetry about your penis. Charming

 

[Kellsee]

I’m glad I don’t have a penis

 

[Robi]

I’m glad I don’t have a penis

Because you wouldn't be able to leave it alone?

Ah, mate, @Keif' Richards it's really hard to decide on the correct response emoji for that post.

Yeah, man. That's funny as fuck. But once you have us laughing you go on to make some very serious points. I think you're bang on there though. I also think you are 'sober', not that you need my validation. You're using your meds as prescribed to aid function and maintain a rewarding life. Doesn't sound like you're using them to get high.

I'm really happy to see you're in a more stable situation now and seem to be doing well. Keep up the good work.

I often find that I'll stop using meth once it becomes useless, because the exhaustion it induces after cessation is such a pain in my ass, I'd honestly prefer NDRIs like 4F-MPH/MPH every day, I just have little-to-no access to them. I love the discourse on this thread, genuinely prosocial harm reduction shit going on here.

Unrelated to things currently brought up in this thread, but has anybody here successfully infused trucker toothpicks before? I've been having a hell of a time getting it to absorb an adequate dose into a single pick, is there some trick to getting the wood to absorb a supremely small amount of ethanol? I can fit so much ice into a single tab of blotter it's a fucking threat to someone's wellbeing, whereas a toothpick? I'm absolutely stumped.

I've never really tried anything like like your project.

However, could you maybe try drying the picks in the oven at a low heat beforehand to improve ethanol absorption? Just a thought.

The issue hasn't been evapping the ethanol, as much as just how little ethanol fits into a single toothpick. Just finding a vessel inside of which to dry say, 5 toothpicks, is a pain in my ass. While typing this though, it dawned on me that some vials I have kicking around are the perfect length for toothpicks, so I might soak one of those and then throw it in a heat bath to evap it. Ice does not seem to lose potency in blotter when I dry it over one of those black seedling start mats that puts out a little heat, I bet this will be fine too.

Aye, I just thought maybe if the wood was really dry it might absorb the solution better. So I was thinking heat them in the oven and take them out when they're dessicated and then soak in solution, maybe they'll soak it up better. I like a wee project too.

Interesting idea though. Let us know how you get on.

Ohhh I see what you're getting at, that's a very good point as the humidity where I live is pretty severe. I'll give this a shot and report back when I do!

 

[BadBoy377]

Nice one. Yeah, if it's humid it's definitely worth a shot. Hopefully the really dry wood will soak up the solution better and then the ethanol will just evaporate. I'm assuming you're using 96% food grade stuff?

I prefer lab grade 99% if I can, but right now my broke ass has been using everclear since 95% is close enough for the ghettoish compounding antics that have been keeping the chemist within me sane.

 

[BadBoy377]

Yeah, I'm sure will do the job nicely if you can get the picks to draw the solution up.

I've always been a bit wary of 99% ethanol. Is there not a risk of traces beneze (or similar I can't recall). Whatever they use to get it past the limit of distillation alone?

I'm not sure what the distillation limit is that you're referring to here but the presence of benzene would only be to act as a denaturing agent to intentionally disincentivize consumption, all that does though is push more people to distill possibly dangerous alcohol. I've luckily never lived anywhere that restrains me from acquiring clean ethanol.

Aye, distillation limit. I think I read somewhere that in order to get purer ethanol than the distillation limit allows the process involved can potentially leave traces of something toxic. Which is why people tend not to drink lab ethanol.

I could be wrong though.

A litre of 96% ethanol is just under forty quid here, Inc delivery.

How'd the picks go? Is that an actual thing people do or did you just come up with it?
