glass questions

[BeverlyBiscuit]

i bought glass for the first time a couple days ago and when i bought it it looked like finely chopped chunks of broken glass...i really dont know how to explain it. it looks like this just a little more powdery: http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/show_image.php3?image=meth/methamphetamine2.jpg
well the person who hooked me up gave me a little line out of the bag because she didnt want me to do too much for the first time. it took about 30 minutes to kick in and i felt it as i was driving back for my last class. when i walked around the campus i felt more confident and i felt it helped me on my test...cause i didnt know shit before and somehow i was getting all the answers...at least i think. well anyways, i have been doing tiny little lines i've probably gotten 5-6 lines out of the bag. i heard u can get about 4. when i crushed it up and tried to make lines it always stuck to everything and when i tasted it it tasted rather bitter. well the effects didnt seems as strong as i always read it would be. the other night i did some and i felt speedy, anxious, and ready to get out of my house and do something but the effects never last more than 4 hours. afterwards i always feel really tired and when i went to sleep i didnt have a hard time. well i smoked weed one time that i did it but not the other time and i still felt tired. i think ive felt more from ritalin or adderal...not even taking too much.
so my question is: do i need to take more to get a better effect? i also read somewhere that the more powdery it is the least it will effect you but if it burns your nose a lot then its at least decent stuff. so what do you guys think?

Umm, as far as I know...even if it's really good when you crush it up of course it will get really powdery, and usually when you do crush it really well (depending on your method), it's got potential to stick to things. However, receving a bag of it with powder usually leads people to suspect they're getting something that'bs been cut, which can sometimes be the case. However, it could also be that some of the crystals just broke on their own. Either way, doing more will probably give you the feeling you are looking for. Hope this was slightly helpful.

It sounds like you had decent quality stuff...not amazing but decent. It is possible that it is weak but it's also possible you just don't respond a whole lot to it.
You could try a bit more...I mean, don't expect an amazing xtc-like euphoria from it...what you desribed pretty much sounds like the typical meth effects.
You could also try smoking it or taking it orally...you might get more from it that way. I don't get much from snorted meth either -- in my opinion it is the most wasteful way of doing meth.
Are you taking any medications?

 

[BeverlyBiscuit]

thanks for the feedback. im not taking any medication right now. i really dont know much about meth at all, how would u go about smoking or eating it?

how long have you been awake on the stuff?
sometimes you won;t actually feel high, but you can make unbelievable streches of going with out sleep!

If you want to feel the real effects of meth, little tiny bumps are not gonna do it. Unless you have a weak heart or something you dont have to worry about killing yourself with it if you are snorting it. Rail out a decent sized line, maybe 1.5-2 inches long. I've railed gaggers of glass bigger than coke lines before with no ill effects. Well other than not being able to sit still and not being able to sleep for several hours without the aid of xanax.
If you are gonna eat it, the stuff tastes like shit so stir it into a drink or put it inside a capusle and swallow it. You have to eat as much or more than you snort if you are gonna eat it.
The best way to smoke it if you dont have a glass pipe is to take a piece of aluminum foil and fold it up so it is long and like 3 inches thick. Then bend it into something that looks like this:
xx_________
xx|xxxxxxxx|
xx|xxxxxxxx|
__|xxxxxxxx|__
Ignore all the x, they are just there so the ascii would look right.
Put the glass in the middle of the foil, put a lighter underneath it, and when it cooks suck the smoke in with a straw or empty pen.
Hey fairnymph, I've always been told that you should cook it till it smokes once without inhaling the smoke to burn out any impurities. Any truth to that or just a waste of good glass?

30 mins to kick in Hmmmmmm......Thats weird. It should kick in almost right away. But then again everone is different.

If it's good meth (meaning very pure), you should only need a bump if you don't have a tolerance to it.
Someone else mentioned doing a line about an inch long or more. If you need that much, it shouldn't really be called glass. Because glass generally refers to pure or mostly pure meth.
I've never seen anyone sell high grade meth crushed up into a powder. Dealers sell it as larger chunky clear crystals that you need to crush yourself so it looks pure.
But it's not neccessarily a big deal to buy powdered meth, either. Even if it's cut, good meth is good meth and it will still do the trick. I just wouldn't call it glass.
One thing in your story that sounds weird is that it took about half an hour to kick in. You should feel the effects of it as soon as you taste the drip.
Also, like Technical User said, a lot of times meth really doesn't make you feel high. I really don't like it for that exact reason. You generally just become very alert, have lots of energy, do everything fast, etc. Also, it should give you a dry mouth and if you do a decent dose, you may grind your teeth or push your tongue against the roof of your mouth.
And to answer your specific question about how much to use. If you don't feel like what you did before did enough, than use more. You should be fine. If you're buying $20 bags, an entire $20 bag may be a strong dose, but it shouldn't be dangerous at all.
Just start out small and work your way up until you're more familiar with meth.
And meth has a nice advantage over a lot of other drugs because you can keep using more to increase the effects without really running into tolerance problems. So if you take a bump and want to do more, you can simply take another equally sized bump a few minutes later and double the effects without having to take a bigger dose than you originally started with.

well when i did it on friday night i took it at about 3pm but couldnt fall asleep till 5 am and i kept waking up and fianlly i just kept myself awake at around 11am saturday morning. the whole day i felt pretty tired and aggravated but too lazy to say anything. i went to sleep pretty early that night about 1030 pm which is early for me. i didnt wake up till about 1230 this morning and i couldve slept a lot more. everytime i wake up i feel like i smoked a lot of schwag and took a nap and when you wake up you just feel really groggy. im horrible at describing things..
well anyways, i will try taking more next time or try the other methods that you guys have mentioned. thanks again.

my answer to whom it may concern, glass is called glass due to its appearence. hence, this also is a way to judge the quality of the product. glass that looks kinda foggy or whitish usually is lower quality, while the higher quality glass is mostly transparent, until its crushed to powder, then it becomes white. testing the product for purity is simple as well. basically you have to burn some. your purer glass will burn off clean, and shouldnt have a real noticable odor, or taste. although there is a taste, which i cant explain, but its definitely far from harsh. a bad product is one that burns blackish, or brownish. that is the stuff that you dont want to mess with.
as far as methods of intake? im sure snorting was the first thing u think of, well it was my first thought to back in my raver days. snorting is the easiest, and most convienent, in some cases. Smoking is the next one, which i dont like personally, because it just looks bad. But its the got to be one of the quickest methods of intake. buzz wears off quicker and smoking is also the way to get addicted faster. Eating, which is as easy as a glass of water and a capsule, was my favorite way to take it. I didnt have to worry about nosebleeds, or dry nostrils, and irritated throat. Eating glass takes a bit longer to metabolize, but it is more intense, and lasts about 4-6 hours, on a typical dose of about 3-4 healthy key-portions.
Now i dont want to say it, but injecting is the last one. but i hope no one goes that far

To smoke it, you want to get a glass pipe (which you should be able to get at a head shop) and you want to put in about 1/5 of that $20-bag, then you want to heat it very slowly (with the flame of the lighter not actually touching the glass), until the meth melts into a little clear puddle. Try not to let the meth smoke while it is melting -- remove it from the heat if it does.
Once you've melted it, turn the lighter on again and roll the pipe from side to side over the tip of the flame, until a white smoke starts to come up, then put your mouth to the end of the pipe and suck up the smoke.
If you smoke of foil (which is a shitty way to do it if you ask me), then you'd do pretty much the same thing, but suck through the straw instead.
As for taking it orally, I suggest taking 1/2 of that $20-bag, either put it in a capsule or dissolve it in some juice/soda and drink it down.
AdOg -- I find it better to not take the last hit if I want to avoid some impurities. Of course, it really depends how pure the stuff you have is. Most likely though the impurities won't hurt you much and so you might as well take that first hit.

^--glass smoking 101, hehe
anyway, just sounds like some low-quality stuff to me, definatley shouldn't be called glass.
