The Dirty Jerz, Yo...
During my time in college in the early 1980s, I put my share of methamphetamine (then called "crank") up my nose. At that time we were getting our crank out of the Philadelphia biker scene, and it was considered among the best in the country (second, perhaps, to the crank coming out of the LA biker scene). While the quality varied, as is often the case with street drugs, a little dab would get you zinged for a long time. (Another nickname for crank was "poor man's coke" - for the price of a quarter-gram of blow which would be gone in an hour, you and a friend could have 18 hours of jacked-up bliss.... )

I never IVed crank (a couple of my friends got in a whole lot of trouble when they started doing that), and to the best of my knowledge nobody was smoking meth in the 1980s. I always snorted it, a painful but very... enlightening... experience. The most I ever snorted was .2g of some very brown and sticky stuff that had us playing tackle football in the street at 3am: a more typical dose was 100 - 125mg. (I also swallowed Desoxyns a few times, but that was a small dose - 10-15mg - which didn't provide the much-loved "Stealing that policeman's patrol car sounds like a MARVELOUS idea" crank buzz)

I am wondering what a typical casual/recreational meth user might use today as a standard dose? (Based on my friends' experiences, I know that heavy users can go through Herculean amounts of the stuff... ). I am also wondering what the preferred ROAs are: as I said, smoking was unheard of in my circle during the early 80s.

Mods: feel free to merge this into another thread or move to BDD if you feel it fits better there. I knew we had some speedsters on this forum and thought they might provide some interesting input.
 
I prefer to IV it, and I am not sure how much I use (haven't had any in a long time), but it's probably somewhere around 20-25 mg.

I really don't care much for smoking/snorting it, mostly because of the burn when you snort it, and the taste when you smoke it.
 
I only ever did around 20mg in a go (mostly snorted - orally lasts wayy too damn long).
 
I do a quarter gram to start, usually IV unless I don't have a rig available. That would be to much for most people, I'm not recomending it.
