Stimulants Does Meth Stop Working or is it just Bad Meth?

I've gotten 3 grams from 3 different dealers over the past month or so. When I snort 50-100mg, my pupils do not dilate, I do not feel high, sometimes I get hungry and sleepy as well. It just about always keeps me up at night and hence I am somewhat sleep deprived. Is it possible to be so tired and exhausted that the meth just won't have any effect? Today, I snorted 70mg and my pupils are not dilated in the slightest and I don't feel high. Or is it more likely that I've gotten three grams of meth that just all happen to be crap. I know others who used the same dealers around the same time as me and seem to be very happy with effects.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Sounds like you have built up a tolerance to it! Either that, or it is crap gear! I was taking over an oz each week just to feel normal. I was eating and sleeping on it too! I had this habit for over 15 yrs and gave up a year or so ago because it was not doing anything for me!
Maybe, give it a rest for a bit? Are you taking anything else that might be interfering with it? x
 
several factors at work here

1. meth may not always be of consistent purity between batches, or between dealers.
2. if you are sleep deprived, haven't eaten, don't excercise and so on, amphetamine will do very little but keep you awake and twitchy.
3. regular usage (hourly to daily) of amphetamines usually leads to the euphoria diminishing to unnoticeable levels

if you get minimal effects from 50-70mg doses - i.e. if a cup of strong black coffee would be a stronger stimulant, then your meth is probably cut to shit. that would be a pretty solid dose - even e.g. 15mg should keep you awake for a bit (assuming you are an infrequent user)

if 50-100mg keeps you awake and raises heart rate and such, but doesn't make you "feel good" , you should take a break as tolerance is beginning to take effect.

however if you are a regular ice user and use upwards of grams in a session, then your tolerance is just through the roof and you're expecting too much.

This. From my experience, it's not really a tollerance per say (amphetamines do build a tolerance but not to the effect that opiates and benzos do.)

The problem is that after a day or two of using your body just needs sleep. Using more meth after that point will only give you the negative side effects with minimal euphoria.

Amphetamines always work their best when you're well rested and you eat properlly. Do yourself a favor and don't use any more until you get some sleep (real sleep, like 8 hours or more) and eat a full meal. Taking a week or more break would be the best because once you've been up for a couple days, it'll take your body longer to recover.

The best way I've found to use meth is to take a small - normal sized dose orally in the morning. That always keeps me going all day and sometimes I even have trouble sleeping that night but at least that way you'll have a chance of sleeping every night. I get that people like to party on it and stay up all night but if you do it that way, you'll need to take a couple days break afterwards because it's not sustainable. If you keep using that way, you'll regret it because the only thing you'll get is super paranoia, hallucinations (and NOT the fun kind), and if you really go at it hard, amphetamine psychosis.
