Yeah my mate showed me that picture earlier today... not only were the bags big, but there were a fuckload of them too. I wonder what they do with it all once they don't need it for evidence anymore... lol!

I'm sure out Aussie puffers will be trying that particular meth in a couple of months ;)

footscrazy -

What was your method for quitting the crystal? You were pretty deeply into it from what I gather. I think part of my issue is that I'm not deeply into it, and there's not that many negative effects apart from the feeling I'm standing on the edge of a deep abyss of addiction.

It's hard when there's no negative effects from it. For a long time that was the same for me, I never got bad come downs or anything which I think is one of the reasons I became so addicted to the drug, because there weren't really any negative effects. Ultimately I just got sick of my life on it, my whole life revolved around puffing and I was completely useless. I think for ages though I was looking for a single event that would be enough to make me quit - like, you set yourself lines in the sand that you think, once I cross this, I know I'll have to quit. But it doesn't work like that IME, it happens gradually so no one thing seems so big on its own, and if it does, you can justify it anyway.

I used meth for 7 years, with probably the last 3 years really wanting to quit the lifestyle, trying and failing. I think for me, it was a matter of just trying so many times, but also really exhausting all the fun out of the lifestyle. By the end I would just sit in my room alone, puffing all day by myself, too paranoid to see many people. As much as I still did love the lifestyle and love the drug, I guess to some extent I got so frustrated with it, and started thinking that there must be more to life. I started when I was 16, I never lived a life without it, so I didn't know, but I thought there had to be something more than this.

The mental state it took me to quit took so much preparation, but I spent a lot of time really identifying my feelings and thoughts when it came to cravings so I could really refute them with evidence, instead of it just being an automatic thing - craving = get more drugs. I've practiced mindfullness meditation in the past too and that really helped - breathing deeply and regularly, and focusing your attention on the present moment. When you are fully aware of the present monent only, you can't get depressed about the past, or stress about the future, which is the downfall of many an addict, I think. Also, you realise that each moment only lasts a split second, so no matter how bad it is - you only have to last for that moment, which is no time at all.

It wasn't easy though, it was really hard, I don't really even know how I did it, I'm still surprised sometimes that it stuck this time, because a lot of the time I really felt hopeless. I think anyone can quit though, and no situation is hopeless. Good luck with it.

Wise words right here holy shit, I am going to practice this, it doesn't sound easy though ..

Well said. Seriously, this is the best advice I've ever read on BL.
 
It was mostly fine white powder from the pics I saw, didn't look like nice oily crystal?

585 kilograms is alot obviously, there may have been different types in some of the various bags? I kind of doubt the pics were of the substituted stuff, but who knows.

Also, I know jack shit about meth as I try and stay away from it, but is it possible that if someone who knew what they were doing and had hundreds of KG's of meth powder could make that powder into crystal form if they wonted to?
 
Hi...

Big bust! I'd say this one will affect availability. Although its probably the easiest drug to score and certainly very popular these days so no doubt theres lots of players bringing the stuff in or making it. It would have to have been in crystal form given thats more valuable than powder on the street. News article said this bust initiated from a tip off - i wonder if that was a random tip off from member of the public, or an informed tip off from someone who knew the operation. If it was a random tip off the dudes would have to be spewing. I wonder how long their sentences will be.... biggest ever bust of the most socially despised drug there is, they're going away for a long time!!

exactly what dad and i discussed.

it'd be right to assumea couple of those bags weren't accounted for, "went missing" or some other bullshit and will soon be out on the streets available for purchasing and consumption by the means of a few crooked cops.

i think they had the estimated value at $1000 gram as well so it was quite inflated the overall bust value.

but god damn those were big bags full!
 
Yeh I agree pd I only saw a very small sample of the massive snatch...I bet the drones already put the good stuff away...

Conspiracy blah blah blah it happens

Thanks for the awesome response. It's great to have someone active on bluelight that has successfully beaten a serious meth addiction - there's plenty of people who have, but when your world is just your friends/acquaintances in the meth scene it can seem like it's hopeless I bet.

Managed to stay away from it so far. I'm staying away from it for Jake, since the negatives of meth use haven't emerged for me yet doing it for him is a good reason. I know he wanted off it and just reading his recent posts in this thread gives me motivation. Even though my use was very light compared to some it's still difficult when the weekend rolls round and I'm bored.

Absolutely it is possible, and feasible at that. There are a few ways you could go about it. But for simplicity sake, you could do it by single solvent recrystallization. By dissolving the powder methamphetamine HCl into a hot solvent such as acetone, xylene or toluene, and then allowing that solvent to cool, the compound will recrystallize and you will be left with crystals of methamphetamine HCl. Depending on the purity of the initial product (i.e. if it has any cuts yet present) you might use two solvents and do a dual solvent recrystallization which would remove any cuts, depending on their solubility in said solvents.

Had some meth last night. 2 pnts between 3 of us. It was very small shards so I thought it was gonna be pretty average.
Super clear stuff. Smoked pretty well. The 2 lasted about 3 hours smoking and was super clean. It really surprised me. I was pretty high. Mad tingles up and town my spine and head for ages. Got to sleep at about 6am and woke around 2pm not feeling scattered at all. It didn't have the legs but I liked it. Didn't have to be in for ye long haul but man the high was nice. Missed that high. Shuts way to expensive for my liking tho and don't want to fall back down that rabbit hole.
 
I used a fair bit of meth over the weekend, 2 decent shots and by the end of it I was totaly depressed and suicidal. Need to keep away from the stuff for awhile if not forever. The week before I had a 2 day bender IV'ing speed and ice and I could have sworn I nearly had a heart attack so I need to give it a miss for awhile. Meth is really such a destructive drug, I dont even use it that much but when I do and dont have benzos for the next few days then my mental state is just not good. Think I might start using pills/MDMA when I go out from now on coz it doesnt make me go nuts like meth seems to lately.

Good luck to everyone whos trying to abstain from the stuff, it really is evil. Heroin never makes me feel as all round crappy as meth. Sure WD'ing doesnt feel nice at all and lasts awhile but the one day after using meth is one of the worst feelings ive ever experienced. Its just not worth it.
 
to the relevant people here;

how long did it take you to realise how truly evil this shit is? were you still on it at the time? and are you still on it now?


myself, 3 months, yes and yes.

I realized after about 6 months of heavier than normal use.
Went from a weekend user, did this for probably 18 months, and then my binges began to last the entire weekend and a few days a week.
I got into shit with my bf, got behind on my mortgage and hated my life.
My circle of mates all started having issues and It just wasn't fun anymore.
Quit in 2006 and probably use twice a year now and hate it every time.
It is a hard drug to stop, after all these years, seeing old mates that i used wih still trigger me...sucks
 
Yeah I would say from when I went from a once a week user to a 3-4 day a week user. I understand there are people here much more into it than that, but that was my 'gotta chill out' point after doing it 3-4 days a week for just a couple months.
