Stimulants Permanent Meth Tolerance, years later????

[WarChild]

Hi All

Just wondering - a question for those who have used large amounts of meth. I know that a tolerance quickly develops when you are using lots, daily or thereabouts. But what about when you stop using for months/years and then use again. When I first tried meth it only took maybe 5-10mg (estimated dose of pure methamphetamine - what i was actually taking was more like 50mg / half a point of cut product) to feel fantastic. I used A LOT for 3 years and was taking enormous doses at once, staying awake for long periods etc. However my tolerance has never really left me since those days. I need to consume 50mg minimum now orally (again this figure is how much pure meth I estimate my speed to contain) to get a buzz. I'll go through a whole gram of 'speed' in four or five hours now whereas back in the day it would last all night and all the next day too. I don't think purity has changed much - i find with meth you get what you pay for and at the moment all i am getting is street speed which is cut to hell and wouldn't be more than 10%.

So my question is does meth tolerance stay with everyone else in this way? As I said when I have average quality 'speed' which is only about 10% pure i need to orally consume half a gram at once to kick things off, which is EXPENSIVE and ANNOYING. And while i still love it to bits, some of the magic has gone too....

Anyone else?


Cheers

Hey

I would wait and try a few more batches before jumping to conclusion's , but im pretty sure i can say in confidence that meth tolerance is NOT permanent , maybe you just got a terrible batch , there was a stage here where i was consuming gram bag's every weekend to get off , and then suddenly a good batch would come through and half a gram would be INTENSE , so id just wait a little longer and see how thing's go.

Best of luck.

Thanks for the suggestion, but its not batch related, its been this way for 7 odd years now, in which time i've had a mountain of meth from various sources, and i know pretty well what sort of quality i'm getting at any time. Even good batches take me that same 50-60mg (pure) to get off and more like 100mg+ to be REALLY wired.

Still love it though haha

I would have to agree here.. I really don't think tolerance is permanent.. I'm not sure what's going on with you.. Maybe your reflection of what ( Being high) is has changed since then? Not really sure :/

This is a known thing that happens to long term meth/amphetamine users. it's probably caused by the neurotoxicity of the drug.

Right, thanks, I thought so. YEah its been 14 years now of regular stimulant use, sometimes heavy and sometimes nothing for periods of up to 6 months. Meth is my demon. It has also destroyed my short term memory and has to all my friends who've had a lot of it too. I really don't know what to do with it. But that post belongs in the dark side. Cheers for confirming my suspicion.

meth neurotoxicity is fact but arent dopamine receptors quick to recover. is there any chance that there is a psycological side to it also rather than just physiological.

That's also a very likely factor, especially if you have a regualr "habit" or ritual, or you smoke up in the same place every day etc.

Only 10% pure meth is pretty bad purity.

I'd hold off until you can get a better product.
