I don't understand what the big problem is with IV'ing meth. If the meth is pure and clean and the user uses a clean new needle and cleans the injection site prior to injection what's the big deal? I can understand the stigma attached with IV use but for the majority of IV users it's not like that.
I have been a drug user and abuser ever since I was 17 years old. Whe I started smoking pot I became a full blown pothead for years. When I started drinking alcohol I became an alcoholic. When I started taking ecstacy pills I turned into a rave obsessed pill head. Same with LSD, Coke, opiates and pretty much every other drug I have ever tried. I was never born with that switch in my brain that people have stopping them from doing shit like this. I never knew why I did the things that I did or why I was different (turns out I was diagnosed with chronic AADD recently which explains most of it, unlimited 5mg Dexies for me now yaaayyyyy) I always loved to push the edge of the envelope as far as I could to see how high I could get. This resulted in at least 6 hospitalisations that I can remember for overdoses of various poly drug adventures (a terrible time of my life, a complete horror story).
The funny thing is I left all my old drug mates and returned 6 years later to see they were all IV meth heads. Even though I was still a drug fiend I had no desire to take it to that next level. For over 12 months I would tell them they were fucked for using that shit, and they should stick to other drugs or just smoke pot. Over the course of those 12 months though I started to develop severe clinical depression. I was absolutely debilitated by it. Constant suicide fixations (and attempts), hospitalisations (Alma St, Bunbury Psychiatric etc). At my worst I couldn't even get out of bed for days or even shower myself (my drug and alcohol abuse definitely did not help this).
So one day I was drunk with my meth mates when they were going to get on and I thought to myself "fuck it, why not?" I've tried just about every other drug and they all seemed fine and never OD'ed or died, and I didn't even really give a fuck if it killed me or hurt me because I wanted to hurt myself and I wanted to die (in fact in years to come I pushed the edge of that envelope to a 6 point shot, 100 units of one very pure shard, what happened after that is another story altogether but all I can say right now is I'm very lucky to be ranting to you guys right now).
So anyway, I got a friend to shoot me up with a single point. Holy shit!! Where the fuck have you been all my life? it made everything in my life instantly better. Where I had no motivation at all I was able to get up and do stuff. Where I always felt sad I now felt happy. All my problems seemed far away and didn't bother me no where near as much. To me meth was a cure for my illness. When I was on it I didn't feel depressed or sick anymore and life seemed brighter. You see out of all the drugs I have ever consumed meth is the only one that I felt I could function on all the time. Could you imagine living your life 24/7 stoned on pot or tripping on LSD or mushies, or drunk off your face or munging on MDMA all the time? You can't function normally or live a normal life high like that all the time, but...on meth? That I could do. Like I said it was the cure to my horrible illness and I was self medicating on that shit.
Ten years have passed since that first shot and I could write pages upon pages of my life story to do with this drug but I'm not going to bore you with my shit. Basically I'm only writing this so that some of the dickheads who have posted in the last two pages of this thread who think that they are somehow better then the rest of us just because they choose to smoke their meth and for that reason they are somehow smarter then the IV users and that IV users are somehow crazy for doing meth this way, you're wrong. If you lived my life you wouldn't have done it any other way. You think you know everything about methamphetamine? You're way off, I know exactly how far you can push it and what that feels like. You will never know what that intense rush feels like or what the butterflies feel like just before that, or the love of the ritual and the steel. Leave that for the big boys. Hahahahahaha for fucks sake do you think you don't look like drug fucked fiends blowing clouds out of you're crack pipes? You're all going to get early dementia with us and lung cancer to boot, Lol' don't forget, you're here right now, reading a methamphetamine thread with the rest of us druggos
Wonder which would have stirred up more fuss if they found out, the stigma surrounding opiates amongst people who consider a bottle of gatorade and a quick twirl breakfast is amazing.
