Stimulants Controlable Ice usage...possible?

[PleasureSeeker]

I tried Ice/meth/Tina for the first time about two months ago. I've been doing coke on and off (mainly on) for 4 odd years, during which time I've had some bad times and suffered health problems and had to pull back for a while but always go back. I loved the Ice effect....the lack of fatigue..the togetherness of my mind and it lasted sooo long...and I didnt jave to shove it my nose (which is suffering badly). I have been searching for it for the last 2 months, it has been a little freaky how I haven't been able to let go of the thought of it all that time. Its obviously more addictive than C, I can tell that already. My question is, do any of you do Ice in a way you think is manageable and not detrimental to your life and/or the people close to you? Is it possible to control this drug?

Yes it is possible. Can most people do it? HELL NO. I will tell you already you do NOT sound like the kinda person who should start getting into that. If you had a coke problem and you find meth more addicting and you can stop thinking about it...well you may already be addicted. That being said i could binge on meth for days. Go home take a shower. pass out. wake up. eat. And go about my day. Never thinkin. OH I WANNA DO THAT AGAIN! I am one of the few people who dont find it very addicting. Not sayin it couldnt happen to me but i know better. I know a few other meth users who can keep it under control. Just remember. Prioritys first. That means you job and family.

Bottomline. You would have more luck winnin a game of russian roulette. For ever user i know that can manage it i can probably name five more that cant.

hi... I'm doing ice from about 1 year... only in the weekend, mostly no more than twice a month and not more than 1\4 g...
if you understand from my post that it is easy to control this drugs, so u are making a fucking huge mistake!!! u know what? I really wish to can come back to the time when I just enjoy (healty if compared) coke... now my brain is always waiting for the next party. looks like (in my case of course) that the normal live is just a bored break between 1 party and the other one... pay attention dude... good luck!

I'm sure some others might disagree, but if you're taking recreational doses of methamphetamine I don't think there is any responsible way to use it. You will damage the dopaminergic neurons in your brain (some of them irreperably) and the overwhelming chances are that you will regret having started with it.

 

[arturocagaduro]

agree!

Possible: yes
Probable: no

I disagree. A close friend of mines dad has done it....shit idk before i was born probably. Nicest guy i ever met. Buys me food bums of smokes. Hangs out wit my friend and me. Not to mention works his fuckin ass off all week. He always tells us to save the partying for the weekend. And i can testify for him that he only does it on weekends. Now im not saying he didnt have his troubles wit it when he was younger but wit age comes learning. Also the shit they had back then was ten times as good and 5 times as cheap so who didnt do it?

I've used it over about 5 times this past year without any cravings or binges. So I guess that's controlled usage, but if you're already feeling urges to keep trying it it looks like a bad idea to go back to it.

Ok....well I appreciate the responses. I can see the general consensus is that I'm taking a gamble. But it does sound like it IS possible to control, although it might be hard and that's what I wanted to know. To be honest, most people find it hard to control coke usage, it can increase and decrease but you make yourself do it, avoid the temptation to do more when you wake up feeling like shit. My desire for it makes me want to control it, I don't want to have to not do it because I've let it get out of control. I have a husband who has great willpower and has kept me on from going off the rails on coke and booze, he wants to try it but says we have to promise each other we'll control it. Anything that gives pleasure is hard to do in moderation, everything from food, sex, nicotine to weed, booze, coke....and Ice......

in my opinion, if youre an addict, its not possible. damn especially with meth! meth is such a powerful drug.

i am a meth user. i have tried cutting down, just using on the first of every month [when my friend gets his check] or just on weekends, and even stopping entirely. when i have money i try to tell myself, "oh ill just buy a little bit, a 30 or 40, and be okay." for me, that never happens. the minute i take that first hit, i want more and the cravings just dont go away, dont end. ill go on a run lasting days, weeks, or sometimes months.

meth really destoryed my life and FAST. ive been an addict for 7 years. im usually a downers person, but i started hanging out with someone i actually met in AA. hes a life-long tweaker and got me into meth pretty much...ive been doing it now for almost 10 months, so wow, almost a year now...it goes fast. and trust me, it leaves alot of destruction in your life. meth is a hell of a drug.

Famous last words, good luck!

I'm going to go ahead and close this as it can really only result in endless speculation.

You need to think about being able to control this in terms of 'winning the lottery' rather than 'I'm taking a risk.' It is a MASSIVE risk, and will in all likelihood lead to addiction. Its really easy to try and justify or rationalize its use to oneself, so please try to be very honest with yourself before making a decision.
