Stimulants A few questions about Crystal.

[Xtremist]

A few questions about Crystal.( HR ) Please answer!

So, im a little bit new to using crystal. ive done it before a handful of times throughout the years and never really questioned anything because it all seemed like normal body functions on the drug.

What exactly should i be feeling body wise when he is high. ( I meant like actual feelings in your body, not the high )

i definitely notice a minor increased heart rate, and occasional muscle spasms.

The Crystal i have, isn't Shake n Bake or 1 bottle method, its very decent with plenty of people who can support the potency behind it.

What i would also like to know, is what is a typical " dose ". ( i don't have a scale, so linking an image on google or something would be super helpful for SWIM )
So far i have just been going back to my room every few hours to put in a few micro-sized shards for a couple good hits, and then returns to my routine of video games and watered down Teas.

Thanks in advance for your knowledge and replies.

( ALSO, DON'T FLAME ME WITH " quit now while you can, or meth is stupid" or anything like this Cause i have heard it 1,000 times and read it even more )

We don't use 'SWIM' here. Why not just stick to using small amount to gauge how you feel from it, and them figure out how much you can safely do at once from there?

Potency varies to its hard for someone to tell you a good dose to start at other than saying to start low and work your way up from there.

And what about Physical feelings?

I've read up on the side effects and such, but i mean its really hard for me to pin point which side effect is what when i feel it with this stuff, ya know?

Also new question, Is being unable to take a normal bowel movement " normal " on crystal? I've never had this problem before with any other drug except Extasy ( MDMA ) i haven't seen it anywhere online in the descriptions of a meth high.

What do you mean by "unable to take a normal bowel movement"?
If you have diarrhoea that is very typical of a stimulant high.

Get a scale if you want to use meth safely. Judging doses by eye does not work very well.

Yeah you can get backed up on meth. I smoke a cigarette and drink coffee the day after if I want to shit but I cant (without a tolerance, these are 2 very effective tools in inducing defecation). It isnt always instantaneous but it seems to get my ass back on schedule. If youre on meth you should be feeling spun out. Along with your increased heart rate you should be very alert, have an elevated amount of energy, increased sex drive, diminished appetite, talkative, and be unable to sleep until you come down. The side effects of meth are uncontrollable jaw clenching, sunken cheeks, shifty eyes, inability to sit still, wrecked teeth, urge to steal, and eventually youll have a ruined life.

As far as dose, I wouldnt hit a piece any bigger than a quarter of your pinky nail until you know what youre doing. You can always break off more later if you find the dose ineffective. Meth is extremely powerful on your central nervous system, you can easily fuck yourself up by taking just a little too much. Lastly I think dabbling meth is about as smart as poking yourself with a diseased needle. I lost 2 years of my life to that garbage. I dont care if you dont want to hear it kid, meth is garbage... Nothing good comes from it. Finish this bag then wash your hands of it man.

;3 This is what i have been doing, just barely using any at all like a tiny shard here to keep me going for a few hours, then i'll go downstairs and re-dose again if i feel like i'm coming down and its still early.

I always write when i last smoked, so that way i dont let that thought of " Okay smoke more more more more " get the better of me, I always get at least 5+ hours of sleep every night. ( For some reason, when its 5am and i'm coming down, i see the sun starting to come up and im just like " yea....fuck that....i need sleep " So then i wait it off, and take a good sleep.

Also, thanks for the info on bowel stuff lol, I was constipated so bad for the past few days, and when i'd be really high, i knew i had to shit, but when i tried, it felt as if my asshole was the door the fort knox lol

Meth is a super diuretic, bud. Your body is pretty savvy about maintaining homeostasis though, so you cut back the water excreted with solid waste. This makes BMs very painful indeed. Of course, if you poo prior to smoking, you might get everything out while it's still normal consistency and then just not have to for a sec, due to the appetite supression.

Speaking of which I forgot to let my gf know that when she asked for a hit to keep her up on a road trip. She's normally notorious for having to pee a lot, so this brought it to a whole different level.

although I don't and shouldn't condone illicit drug use, I do think it is people's right to ask for CORRECT facts and information, not your own personal shitty experience because YOU became (already were) a shitty person while using methamphetamine and decided not to get off your ass and brush your teeth, resulting in tooth issues. Just because you stole while using doesn't mean everybody who uses will/does. I am more than happy for you that you apparently got clean - but listing the shit that you listed pisses me off - it makes the "responsible user" look bad. Don't bring those of us who don't steal and brush our teeth and take care of our lives down to your shitty level.

Not only that, the OP specifically asked that you did not wave your "don't do meth it's bad mmmkay" flag, but yet you did it anyway. Sounds like maybe you have a bit of an issue with taking direction and self control....? just a thought.

Sorry, OP - had to clear that up.
To answer your questions...

-physical feelings-
crystal isn't going to be completely obvious like...a pill of X or a few hits of acid would be (BAM!) I mean, you should definitely be able to say "yep, I'm high, that feels nice..." but unless you're IV'ing it (which I would not personally suggest, unless you have massive amounts of self control) you're likely to not feel something hit you like a ton of bricks - in fact, noticing in different batches, sometimes the high will "sneak up" on you (like you start smoking, you're not feeling anything like 'hey wtf' & you get up to use the restroom and all of a sudden you realize you've been scrubbing the bathroom floor tiles with a toothbrush for the past 2 hours...)
For myself, I immediately notice a marked increase in heart rate, alertness, energy, desire to complete activities (or start many and not finish, ha), much increased sex drive, and it is an excellent pain reliever for me.

-constipation-
I, too, had and still sometimes have this problem. I had it really bad for many months and it is incredibly painful and uncomfortable. Thank goodness I had a friend show me how to use a small water enema to get things moving. I was very resistant to this method at first, and scared - but it was a true lifesaver. I don't use any chemicals or the saline solution which comes already prepared inside an enema, I dump that out, wash the bottle, and put about 1/4-1/2 cup room temperature water in it and use it that way. trust me on this one...

-amount to use-
if you plan on continuing this habit, you should absolutely get a scale. they're only $5-10. widely available at headshops or wherever on the internet. you want to be using the least amount possible, not only to save money but to make an effort at keeping your tolerance at bay. tolerance will increase with repeated usage pretty much no matter what, but there are definitely many things one can do to curb this menace. anyways, hope some of this helps. good luck.

Touchy today huh little penguin, you coming down or something? =P OP was thanking me and giving me smilie emoticons in that post, perhaps you are being a bit too sensitive.

Also I feel it would be irresponsible not to try and warn him of meths danger as a newcomer. You wouldnt send a new electrician to repair wires without warning him which wires can kill him when touched, you would strenuously stress to him the danger of touching the wrong wires.

I have permanent dope damage from meth, its been almost 5 years off it. Like many tweakers, after using awhile Id start to get paranoid on high doses and be looking out the blinds all the time, for either drug debt collectors or cops. After I quit dope, the paranoia never completely left. I know its not completely logical, as my drug debtors would have killed me by now and any cops would have made their move. But to this day when people drive slowly/suspiciously in my area (all the time), I get the same dope paranoia. Ill even follow people who look and drive suspicious if Im paranoid enough, pretty sure I freaked out my neighbors boyfriend chasing him around high speeds past midnight one night, he never came back again. I never have acted and thought like this before my paranoia issues, and they most definitely occured because of repeated meth abuse.

On top of aggravated mental health issues I also have a lasting heart condition caused by meth overuse. Mitrial valve prolapse or something, which can lead to fatal heart complications eventually. Im gonna get it checked out if Obamacare ever pans out.

Not everyone will develop mental and health issues on meth, but it isnt uncommon for these things to occur with prolonged use. I developed both in only 2 years. Personally I dont think its even worth the risk of trying. Any possibility is too big a possibility when it comes to your sanity. Meth fucks A LOT of peoples heads up in the end. The best harm reduction here is preventative measures IMO.

Sorry OP now there really is a lot of Dont Do It! bs but I wish you the best of luck on your tweak adventures. TPlease stay aware of how your habit affects your mental and how it affects those around you, and consider quitting if it starts to have negative consequences. Stay healthy and safe
