Can anyone explain the downside of Meth?

[KidsPls]

Hi, I am a second time meth user. The first time I tried was a low end stuffs, so yeah. The second time I tried, I lost count how many hits I took, just enough for me to feel extra meticulous, I talked too much, and hours later I found myself irritated and frustrated with my surroundings. That's how I classified Meth's short term effect. Tbh, I feel like using it just to feel the high. My room gets dirty everytime friends're coming, I am a laaazy person and yeah, I am NOT meth heavy user. Few of them are meth users, so I tried it for free, thats why.

Until one day I just got swamped with too many projects to be submitted in one time. My plan is to do meth once a week, trying to do the works in just two days, and repeat again for the next week until it's done. Overall, it takes 4 weeks, which means a month for me to do meth.

Is meth LONG TERM EFFECT same with E? I was brain-scattered 6 months ago due to E. Couldn't easily answer my final paper, plus I was all anxious.
Does your brain freeze with meth? Were you feeling empty when you stop using it? Any suggestions? Except for anxious, cause I know how it feels.
Or is there any thread I can read related to meth?

Thank you so much, pardon my english because I am still working on it

Short answer is meth isn't a drug you want to start using because your lazy. I've been a fairly regular user for about 8 years. Yes it will freeze your brain in that after about 48 hours with out sleep and quite possibly nutrition you will start to shut down. It's also not a drug you can really plan to use only 1 day you can try to do that but in my experience it rarely works out that way. If your going to use meth use it because it's fun don't try to use it as some sort of life hack. Also force yourself to eat at least a little something and if you feel you have a window for sleep take it. And stay hydrated

...said every meth abuser ever.

I have been using meth for around 7 year mark and I only use once a week my intake has never increased which is odd. I always make sure I get sleep, eat food, drink water and exercise my muscles. In saying that a lot of people can not handle this drug and as soon as the one day a week turns into 3 day bender than you are going to be wishing you never started

Lets compare Amphetamine (Adderall) with Methamphetamine (Desoxyn) Trade name). Firstly Meth is nearly the same thing but has a methyl group, increasing potency and duration. So with the vast information out there about Adderall lemme tell you a few things ive learned about why not to use that shit in layman's terms.

- Body Effect- You will become a malnourished, skinny dude that's very weak, guaranteed (muscular atrophy). Secondly, if you're smoking it you're mouth and face are gonna look like shit (good luck getting a girl unless shes hooked also).

- Psychological Effect - First off, eventually you will become paranoid as hell, looking around, telling people to be quiet while in a conversation outside because "people might be listening". Secondly, you will become a "talker" you will talk a lot but do nothing. Except get high and waste money. You'll tell everyone about this and that and how you're gonna do this and that but in reality, you're going nowhere. You may develop Tourretes like symptoms (compulsively yelling randomly things) and/or Schizophrenic symptoms. All of this because you're raising youre dopamine and serotonin to incredibly high levels (namely, Dopamine).

- Financial/Social Effect - At first, you're gonna be a great, sociable person while on it, but eventually this will go away as you're gonna be looking ugly as hell, you'll have psychological problems that will be clear to everyone around you and you will have no money. Employers may recognize you're issue and you may be fired. Friends and family will no longer want to be around you (except the junkies). Once you start stealing things to get your fix, you are real far gone... and now you are in real Hell.

In conclusion, Amphetamines (I'm not referring to the Psychedelic Phenethylamines here though.) in general, should be avoided like the plague.... maybe more than the plague cuz you WILL get fucked in the body and the head guaranteed.

One of the largest problems with crystal meth these days is that one cant even be sure whether or not what you are getting is crystal. In no way would I encourage someone to start using crystal meth for any reason, but when you compound an already bad choice with the idea that you could be getting "bath salts", which could be any number of analogue chemicals or just plain old toxic crud then the whole speed scene really starts to look like a nightmare.

Indeed that's very true, and VERY dangerous. You could be smoking crystallized dog piss cut into your "meth" for all you know.

You could say that about any street drug. It's really not hard to avoid shit drugs.

First, don't buy drugs from scetchy people, ever.

Second, wash ALL the meth you get, no matter where it came from. An acetone wash is simple and works amazing for quality control.

Now, as for the downside of meth just read about it. Meth is an incredibly powerful drug. It has given me some fucking awesome experiences but in reality, it's extremely unsustainable.

If you use enough meth, it will take things from you that you didn't even know you had. It will change you mentally, physically, spiritually, sexually, and the list goes on. Its not always permanent but I can be and that shit is ugly.

Meth is one hell of a drug. Personally, I love the shit. But, I won't do it on a regular basis anymore, maybe 2-4 times a year. I had go through a lot of bullshit to realize that roller-coaster isn't what I want.

OP, If you got twisted by MDMA, tred lightly. Emptiness, depression, and suicidal thoughts are par for the course with meth. You need to have a strong mind in the meth game, and even then you will still probably lose it. Speed really fucks with your brain, unlike anything I have ever done.
