While I don't encourage the use of methamphetamines, states of "psychotic delirium" do not inevitably result from use. To suggest otherwise, based on severely limited observational evidence, is fear mongering. Trying to discourage the use of a drug, by exaggeration or misrepresentation, is just as morally questionably as attempting to encourage use. We cannot resort to the same foul tactics as the enemy, in other words. It should be understood that: amphetamines have enormous potential, but - at the same time - they should be treated with extreme caution. I am tired of people who don't know speed, perpetuating this absurd idea that meth-heads are lunatics. Sigmund Freud used amphetamines throughout his career, particularly when writing his dissertations. Stephen King wrote entire award-winning novels on week-long meth binges.
Adolf Hitler gave his soldiers methamphetamines.
The Nazis saw the potential.
Meth is fucking awesome. Can't say the same for H. But, then, I don't go around fear mongering heroin. This is a harm reduction forum. We should provide information without trying to discourage or encourage use. Simply, ignoring the politics, because it is not our place to do so.
I don't think the piece, as serious writing, is worthwhile. And neither do you. So why post it? Because it's such bad writing, that it can be used to prevent drug abuse? Or such psychotic writing - frankly, it doesn't remind me at all of psychosis - that it might scare someone out of experimenting with drugs in the first place?
There are much worse and much more psychotic pieces of writing than this on Bluelight. It is like something that someone, while fucked up, might scribble on a piece of paper. So, why post it?
This thread has been hitting at a nerve in my sub-conscious. I want to delete it, but - in doing so - I'd be abusing my position as a moderator. So, I'll just say this:
I've been using methamphetamines for fifteen years. I am not an idiot. Meth does not make you an idiot. Nor does it make you a bad writer. There are hundreds of millions of functional meth addicts in the world. Be careful. Do not be afraid.
