I live for these stimulant questions on BL. Especially when I’m stimulated and can’t find anything else to comment sensibly on!
I IV meth intermittently several times a month though currently trying to reduce it to once per month. I almost always use fresh rigs but will disinfect and re-use a recently used one if I run out towards end of binge. I am scrupulous about cleanliness as I once had an abscess from shooting coke.
I usually start with the maximum size shot I can handle without over-amping. This is a bit of a guessing game depending on how familiar I am with the source. Might be .2 or .5 depending on whether I’ve tasted it before and how long any tolerance break has been. My current supply requires a .2 shot. Anything higher would disable me temporarily which is a problem shooting up at home with family around.
If it hits the spot and gets me just below overamped level of high I will try and ride it as long as possible before shooting anymore. This could be anywhere as long as 12-18 hours. If it was too small a hit I’ll wait 30 mins and then shoot an appropriately sized top up shot. I don’t mind this too much because it means I usually get a bonus second rush.
However as the binge goes on the time between top ups begins to shorten. By end of Day 3 on a three day binge it might only be 3-4 hours. At this point I still get a little rush but nothing to write home about and its a sign to me that its near time to stop and get some sleep.
Usually I start my binge in the evening around 7 PM which times my second shot nicely for around 5-7AM which lets me start the second day all sparkly eyed and full of beans. Since I live with family I have to be careful to maintain normal appearances when binging which means at least seeming to keep normal awake/sleep patterns. Mostly when I have a shot I’m too fucked up straight away to talk to family but I settle into in about 15-20 mins and then I’m good to be sociable. However, by day 3 I’m avoiding contact as much as I can without being suspicious.
Normally I binge for max 48 hours to avoid psychosis although this time I pushed it closer to 72 because my gear was so good I couldn’t get through it all in a shorter time. Last shot was a .3 I think and I was able to sleep about 5 hours after that. The longer and harder I go the easier it is to finally sleep at the end. On average I get through 1-2 grams in 48-72 hours. Which is fucking ridiculously expensive here and probably unsustainable unless I start a life of crime (kidding).
Notwithstanding everything I just wrote, I have also sometimes enjoyed just having a single .05 or .1 shot and trying to have a normal work day (also to save money). I’m ADHD so it feels a bit like being medicated for a while. But ultimately meth for me is about being fucked up so inevitably I go back to maxing it out.
