background:
i've been using speed for a good 9 years (on and off)
spent 2 of those years using pretty much every day (From age 15-17) til i finally just decided i'd had enough and stopped cold turkey for a while.
with speed i tend to use it once each pay cycle (fortnightly)
we get a fair decent amount (go halvies with a friend) usually we buy between 2 and 5 grams. at absolute minimum we'll get 1gram. and go a halfa each
we'll use it all throughout the course of a bender.
we're both quite generous and will give a point or so away to different friends if theyre around and shit like that.
not all speed in australia is meth. (the amount of meth i've gotten as "speed" or "whiz" lately has increased) Edit.
needless to say tho, after a while you can really tell the difference,
i've been getting some white pastey stuff lately that is definitely meth.
i've never once used a crackie, because the smell of burning speed is fucking disgusting. so much so that even tho ice doesnt smell bad at all (not like whizz does) i cant even bring myself to smoke shards.
i snort it. or eat it
and to those who say you can't snort shards. use a strong baggie, and a hammer. with a good solid surface.
i've found the mortar and pestle. combined with a baggie is also a fuckin fantastic idea.
tolerance to speed builds up very quickly.
however after a good proper bender i find myself not wanting to touch it again for a few weeks at least.
whether or not this is because i've been dependant on the stuff, and i wont let that happen to me with anything again.
or whether this is just because the tiredness and all over body aches after between 3 and 9 days without sleeping are just almost so unbearable
until you get some decent sleep and have a good feed and shower.
and to the original poster.
i've always snorted speed when i use it. then usually have a few dips or rub it into my gums.
in this whole time, ive never had a nosebleed from snorting.
i find i get blocked sinuses a few days after a big bender.
lately ive had a few different batches. one of which i had 2.5 points (given to me by my housemate) very quickly.
i noticed when i was cutting it out it moved across my mirror like glucose does. and when i snorted it i could feel the distinct burn and taste of bi-carb soda. (aka baking soda) that stuff was utter shit. i got a few leg taps and ate a meal about 2 hours afterwards.
then on the other hand, the eightball (3.5g) we got the other night, white pastey shit.
fair decent too. one point down... 15 minutes later.. pinging. tapping. talking shit. wide awake despite doing a full 9 hour shift at work, and being dead tired before i started. it was really good. so good we continued on til we run out. for another 3days. lol
price hasnt really changed at all in the past couple of years.
not going to mention figures obviously. but its gone up considerably since i began.
the one thing i've not been able to find lately has been "ox-blood" or red speed.
and the dark yellowy brown base paste.
those have always been personal favourites of mine.
sorta stuff i can have 2 points of, and not be able to sit still for any period of time other than to play video games.
if you want to go out and dance all night. get ice. make sure you get it in rock form or at least in tiny little shards. (unless you're one of those people who believes the "its a dirty drug" shit the govt. spews forth) it costs a lot more. roughly double what speed does. but its a better feeling, it lasts longer, and its just way more enjoyable to go out on.
and its less likely to be full of cutters.
meth and speed dont feel the same (using the same method of administration.
simply put, meth fucks with my head. speed doesnt. i'm clear headed, alert and awake on speed... meth has all of the above with a fucked headspace, and a lot more confusion, and some paranoia.
results may vary for others tho.
