Meth Can’t get high, will a larger dose help or do I require a break?

Hello 👋
Plz tell me if I need a break or if doing more will produce results. I have to do a few things this week that will basically ruin my life if not completed. I will crag too hard to do them. I have no issue being miserable for two weeks in bed but I can’t afford to do that until I get these tasks done. I’ll literally lose my apartment and my life.

For 3 months I’ve been doing meth off and on.
The first month I did it in the weekends only. Like half a gram would last 4 days or more between 2 people so I did half that.
I typically snorted.
The second month I would do it for a week then come off for a week.the gram started to only last 2-3 days but it was always split between me and my best friend so I didn’t do all of it.
This minth ive been doing larger amount. The first week of the month I only did it like once or twice like .03 each time then the following week I started eating it which worked great until I tit the car liss stench through my pores. I took another break for 5 days and for the last 10 days I’ve been doing varying amounts. I noticed I needed more to feel the same fact but now all of a sudden it seems no matter what amount I do be it smoking snorting or eating I can’t feel it.
Now I’m cautious I’ve never taken too much at once. Always less than a half gram. Nvr done a full gram to myself but it’s been very consistent.
Like I said I need to not be crashing Until the weekend do these jobs I’ll be so screwed. I had no idea it would stop working I honestly don’t even love the stuff I’m very ready to take a break had I known about the down regulation thing I’d have taken way longer breaks.
now it still keeps me from crashing but I feel zero extra energy or euphoria.

I’ve included a link to pictures of the typical size line I’d take.
The bigger one by the penny is what would be a big line for me. Up u til now that amount would keep me high for 30 hours. I normally took 1/3 of that

The second picture shows more of the typical size lines. The small one is what I started on the first 2 months. Then I moved up to slightly bigger lines like the one in the bottom. Pic 1. A very big line for me. Pic 2 a normal and big line

I made them up quick for this thread I normally chop them very fine and they don’t have cat hair usually either lol



I know I wrote this In a confusing way but I had a short break and I don’t write well.

I need to know if it’s worth eating / snorting a bigger amount just to get through the week/weekend or it’s impossible and no amount would ever get me to feel it again.
I also don’t even get most of the side effects anymore.
 
The straight answer is .. yes taking more will work. It's a sign you've been taking a lot and unless you're into meth and don't mind being addicted to it I suggest you take a good long break as soon as you can.

Your on your way to being a meth head .. but I wouldn't worry you're actually a fried meth head until you encounter one of the two situation in which meth doesn't just get weaker but becomes actually inactive:

1. The never ending bender: you keep using and using and going without sleep for months until eventually no amount of meth will keep you awake. I've heard of people injecting grammes at a time and I've taken doses that would have stroked me out normally .. then passed out. What happens is you've mind has run out of cathelicomes (things like dopamine and seratonin) and so you basically coma out. You wake up 10-30 minutes later and get a bit high again, but the fact you have no catheliwatsits left means that doses that would normally be stupidly dangerous will simply serve to keep you going.

2. Total medium term tolerance: I didn't discover this till I developed stimulant tolerance. A tolerant individual can't do a meth run that lasts for more than a few days. Do meth all the time anyway and after about 6 months you'll reach this point where you are well rested and there is no amount of meth that will have any effect on you. I've smoked 2g in half an hour before with no effect (in a withdrawal). It's temporary (a few days to a week) .. and I would hypothesis that it is some sort of immune response.

Thank u very much for the response. I don’t want to deal with this anymore. I’m completely not okay with being a meth head. I’m going to taper off immediately.
 
I'd quit if I were you, but no judgement.
I am actually in the process of quitting as I'm 49 and amps kill you in your 50s.

I had a really crazy full life and have no fear of death or dying. Not cos I'm depressed but because I have no dependents and I've stuffed a lot of life into 50 years. Dying at 60 seems like karma really. I see no reason we have to live a long life, it doesn't even seem that natural frankly and retirement planning is much easier .. and much more fun.

As I said though - wouldn't judge and it's your choice. Modern life has it's perks and we all have our own beliefs about what is the right way to live. Mine involved above average amounts of drugs and shorter than average life span. Don't see what's wrong with that.

Still better to slow one's roll. No judgment here, just don't like seeing BLers in the Shrine.

honestly I’d keep doing it if it wasn’t so toxic/caustic. I’m very good looking and I’m also a boxer so the idea of something ruining my looks and also my heart is very concerning to me. There’s also the fact that I absolutely can’t stand waiting on dealers. So much wasted time and energy can go into just getting your shit.
I also have always had depression and anxiety so something that makes it harder to be happy naturally is also a big turn off. I’m 32 and I totally agree with your outlook on life. Living to be 90 is not better than living a fulfilling life until 60.
I have things that I want to achieve and when I do that death will not be feared. What IS terrifying to me is the idea of dying knowing I didn’t do the things I was meant to do.
I’m still going to leverage drugs as a tool/ life enhancements but meth just has too many downsides which is a bummer bcuz It’s been useful for me. I’m a musician by trade and it’s honestly been a great help creatively and focus wise.
I hate almjst every amphetine I’ve tried like added all of Ritalin for instance they just make me jittery and anxious and unable to focus. Meth and cocaine are the only uppers I can stand.
I forgot to mention that I’m opiate dependent and I’ve been at the methadone clinic for 7 years. I’m a downer guy but I’ve essentially lost the ability to feel them. I’ll get a nod but no longer do they make me feel good. I also have never and will never do drugs intravenously which might be the only way to achieve that.
