If you use meth more than most people drink cups of tea, i imagine you are getting some pretty high grade gear. Which isn't to say that 500mg in 3 days is a small dose - but even in my (comparatively mild) meth taking days, 5 points (of what we percieved to be the "good"/best stuff on offer) would have been enough to see me through a 3 day binge.
Back then i would sometimes feel that .3 was just enough to get me through the drinking, dancing and clubs (with enough of a buzz going to still talk shit and smoke weed afterwards at someone's house.
But i wasn't seriously connected, just a low level kid; 0.5g was the most i could afford to buy, and when i took it over 2-3 days (which i invariably did) i was in "binge mode".
Not "kickin' back with a cuppa on a monday arvo" mode.
When you say .85g of "high grade street meth", you mean that's your estimated equivalent to the .5g of your stuff?
I don't know how quality compares today from ~15 years ago, because i've long been out of the game, so my observations may be really different from people taking meth nowadays - or people taking meth of a known purity.
All we ever had to compare our gear to was other black market amphetamine - "shard" "speed", "gak", "base" etc
Even back then (before i knew bluelight) i always suspected that most Aussie meth was fairly low purity, if only because of the comparison i could make between 100mg of shard, and 100mg pharmaceutical dexamphetamine.
Obviously both drugs have different effects profiles, but when i took meth i never had a point that came close to the intensity of 20 dexies. I've never took more than a dozen dexies at once, because there wasnt ever a need to.
Maybe comparing methamp and d-amp is like apples and oranges or something, but i always assumed the qualify your average punter is likely get is probably fairly low. Does that sound right?
I'm not saying it's ok - far from it - but i guess if Mr Work-a-day Weekend Warrior were to treat himself to half a gram on a friday night, there's a fair chance he'd be worse for wear come Monday, maybe even having a 'rest' in some form of mental health facility.
Anyway just out of curiosity - because that is a fairly hefty amount of meth to use by most standards. By which, I mean the frequency rather than the weight you mention.
When you say you smoke that much daily, i assume that means a day off the gear is relatively rare for you?
I've known people who use more meth in a single binge than occasional users would in a whole year - but "binges" for them were punctuated with breaks, and they slept, ate and got back in tune with planet earth.
Their use consisted of cycles, rather than consistent, regular consumption.
Do you consider your use "functional" - in the sense that being high doesn't stop you getting things done?
And if you can't "get on" - for whatever reason - are you able to just shrug and get on with your day, or does it have a big affect on you?
Obviously, I'm not asking you to divulge too much about your life, or how you balance all that twirling with all the ins'n'outs of day-to-day life - but i'm curious as to how it affects you - especially compared to someone who gets "on" for a few days and switches "off" for a few days to sleep, rehydrate, replenish and recharge.
