How quickly are full effects felt from smoked meth? T + what?

Hello fellow bluelighters!

So, I'm writing a paper on the onset of methamphetamine. It doesn't have to be scientific at all, it just details the dangers of meth use.

So, my question is:

At what time after smoking meth would one feel the top effects?

As an example, if a first-time meth user thought, "hey, I'll just keep smoking a bit every 5 minutes and then stop when I feel like I'm where I wanna be" would this be a BAD idea? As in, would said user stop smoking, and then have the effects CONTINUE TO CREEP UP ON HIM? Or are the FULL effects felt within the first minute?

Thank you!

Within a minute i would think.... smoking leads to rapidly elevated plasma concentrations..

When substances are smoked they reach the brain the fastest out of any ROA, even faster than injecting, which takes about 20 seconds. After you exhale the hit you start to feel the effects almost instantly.

You feel the initial rush nearly instantly, and within a couple of minutes youre fully there.
