I've heard people joke about it, and it's pretty common with stimulants.
I'm getting a fat sack of dope in like an hour and a half and I have bubble guts from hell.

My question is: Why the fuck does this happen? Like is there a scientific explanation? A psychological one?
 
I get it :|

On days when I'm expecting to pick up drugs I often wake up ill, after a fitful night's sleep. It's the anticipation, it sends my body into meltdown. Not just for drugs, but it's worst for drugs. Anticipating euphoria does a number on me.
 
It could be classical conditioning - if you do stims a lot, you might come to associate scoring with having a bowel movement, so in time even just knowing you are about to score brings it on?

Could also be that excitement activates your sympathetic nervous system (in the same way stims do, it's your fight or flight mechanism) and this can increase bowel motility.
 
I think it's the latter option tbh. I don't get the shits on drugs, personally...Just when I'm expecting them 8(
 
Yeah, when I'm on a good one I can go weeks without a bowel movement.
Still, it's aggravating. My friend just sent me a picture x.x
 
I like the phrase "bowel movement" :D

Sorry you're feeling rough snazzy!

i did too back in the days where i had class. ha.

thanks, it'll all be better soon... unless he gets pulled over... or car accident... or drops it... or does it before he gets here... sdgijherogerhgiuerhgiuer
 
the only stim i've ever used that made me have to have a bowel movement is wellbutrin and i hardly think that counts. ha. who knows though?
 
YESSSS NO MORE SHITS!!! WATCH OUT O.D. HERE I COME!!! yes the flight or flight response things makes sense. i definately don't have to shit anymore, also how do you spell definately ??
 
Time can't pass buy quick enough off on a friday when your going to be picking up later on.
 
I just skimmed through this thread, but yeah, it's totally common. Even when I was totally constipated on opiates (like hadn't laid a stool in three days), the second I fixed up a shot of coke, it would just come pouring out of me. I've heard crack heads talk about litterally messing there pants while going to cop..
 
Uh what? I'm not sure what you're describing snazzy.

I thought this thread was about how when you take stimulants they can make some people void their bowels, since that's what they can do. When I took low doses of Adderall yeah it would do that; but I also eat a lot of fiber so that could be it. I hope that's not TMI. The one time I used coke that didn't happen to me; but an old head guy I knew who used a fair amount of coke in the mid/late 70s and 80s would tell me how it happened to him but I've heard how back then they would step on coke with laxatives in powder.

I've never gotten what you described snazzy from the anticipation of getting drugs or knowing I'm going to get them. Then again my DOCs that I enjoyed were Mushrooms, LSD, Cannabis in all of its forms, pretty much any type of booze, nitrous, and sometimes low doses of prescription opiates (Codeine, hydrocodone, and OC), and low doses of amphetamine (Dexamp/Adderall). I've never used crystal meth/crank, heroin, PCP, crack, any MDxx drugs, or RC's. I was/am not into using drugs daily unless you count caffeine and in my early 20s while in college I got into drinking a lot of booze daily and in large amounts which I've stopped.

I tried coke once and enjoyed it way too much so I decided to never use it again since I worried about addiction. I rarely visit this part of BL since I'm more in SLR, CD, HL, and PD but that's where most of my experience lies. :)

I remember when I started banging meth everyday, and started eating regularly, and didn't have anywhere comfortable to shit where I could take my time...
My buddy Jerry stopped at a gas station, It had been like two weeks since I'd had a proper BM movement.
I strain and turn purple and experience one of the most painful physical sensations I've ever felt. There were tears, there was blood, I was in a time crunch and worried that my buddy ditched me.

I'm done. I walk out to the truck. I get in between this old tweaker (my junkie/game mentor) and this vampire lookin' pot dealer who I always made fun of more smoking meth. They ask what took so long. I light up a cigarette, take a deep drag, and say "I just took the most painful shit of my entire life".

Jerry explains that this is normal, and the vampire guy judges me with his eyes.
We drive off, do shots, commit crimes, make money.

The moral of the story?
There is none, I just felt like sharing it and it's relevant. Water hungry meth molecules combined with a steady diet of animal crackers and soda pop...
This is all pretty common amongst meth users in my experience and I've never heard of anyone doing meth and having to shit. Which is why I can't see the correlation between craving and bubble guts which are pretty common.

(if i sounded hostile sorry, i just got really passionate about this peculiar phenomenon regarding human waste)
 
Meth is my vice of choice, I experience this every time I am about to score, or even reading a particularly detailed trip report on here! It seems to go hand in hand with the anxiety one experiences when waiting to hook up - I also get the yawns and a weird gagging cough sometimes (not the cough you get when you do a shot, this is before I even have the gear in my possession)...I have even vomited whilst waiting to score before. It is indeed a strange phenomenon...quite a few times, after I've scored, I have arrived home and the need to race immediately to the toilet has outweighed even the need to mix up that sweet first shot!

Ah, the joys of chemically re-wiring the brain.
 
god, don't talk to me about shots. i've been reduced to smoking lately, as my best friend has been supplying me for free lately and he saw me shoot up .8 one time and he was traumatized and won't tolerate shooting up.
i dunno where to get a point right now. i'd probably pick one up off the ground and if it wasn't rusty, bleach it, soak it, and sharpen it...
god, i'd kill for a shot.
or a dopewhore.

yes, the agony and the ecstacy of methamphetamine...
god, a shot... the comedown is so much worse from smoking... a shot though... think you're about to come down and it comes back in glorious waves...
