Speed - How does it affect *YOU*?

[BigTrancer]

"A QUARTER OZ."?! That's 70 points, or 7g... sounds like a FUCKING lot to me, even if it is stomped on to the tune of 10:1. If it's cut like that it's still 7 points of pure in a weekend. You can have too much of a good thing I think.

again the virtue of moderation is demonstrated...

well for me speed is mostly my drug of choice. being bipolar, i cant e too often or i'll flip. and i looooove it! i like how focused i get on the music, and of course, the energy. i like how it doesnt really mess with your head much, i like the clarity

sometimes w/ e i get so scattered i miss music i wanted to hear, etc i forget things.. w/ speed there's none of that.
also, i think i am one of the only people who doesnt talk a lot while speeding (or rolling) many bluelighters have met me now, and prolly all think i'm a snob or something hehe. im just quiet, even when i'm rushing off my dial

smilez ppl

I don't believe I'm saying this, but "I'm giving up speed"......
wooaaaarhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
I know, I know, this is kind of the equivalent of Jeff Kennett saying "I'm going to work for the people", but really, all the symptoms I NEVER had on amphetamines before are starting to happen to me now...
* I DO have comedowns now on speed (never got 'em before) and they make a pill comedown look like a walk in the park.
* I have 'head-up-my-arse' syndrome (noooo, it's not a technical term, it's mine

) for at least 3 days afterwards, where I am simply not functioning at a level that I am personally happy with. People 'notice' this..
* I have to go to bed at, like, 10pm instead of midnight+ for 3 days straight or I can barely function!..... with that sort of regime, I really DON'T feel like I have a life!...and why?...'cause I'm paying for just one night's pleasure on speed. Piss poor return!
Not easy: this has been my favourite drug for years. But the new changes in me (all negatives) just aren't worth the positives from amphetamines.
(caveat emptor: I am OLD. Drug use identical or similar to mine may, or may not, cause similar, or different symptoms in you, male or female, animal or mineral. IF not, ROCK ON! )
So that's it. I will look longingly on at you all from the corner of the toliet cubicle in future.... dammit, you lucky young pups!

I can't be bothered writing a long reply but speed is definately the shit.
I prefer it at parties as you are still able to think, but you are so full of energy & things to say, esp. things to say!!
It's the fucking best!!
Have been at a party on pills the last couple of weeks and have people coming up asking whats wrong because I look down, not down, but not as happy, because I am so flighty and just loud and bubbly when speeding but while on pills am more reserved. (and lazy!!)

el_nino, i disagree with you 100% on all points raised. Man, i'm sorry your lou experiences have been so crapola but it is sooo the drug for me. I've never even been close to losing it on loui, i don't have comedowns & when i start to get tired i never crave more, i just sleep. & the sex? OMG!
Maybe your experiences have more to do with the way the people you know use it, rather than the actual drug itself.

Everyone knows how I feel about my friend Speed, but I'm just going to reiterate yet again

I like speed.
I like speed to dance with.
I like speed to study with.
I like speed to work with (and the customers like me too)
I like speed to clean with.
I like speed to drink beer with.
I like speed to put on the top of a cone and smoke with.
I like speed to sit at my computer all night with and then watch the sun rise from my balcony through the fog of an autumn morning in Bathurst.
I like speed with pills (and have only ever had a pill once without speed - poor brain)
I like speed.
I LOVE the fact that speed "elicits verbosity without expostulations of communal love" whoever said that, (sorry can't be assed to go back and look) you're a champ. this could be a whole new topic, but the reason I lean toward speed and away from pills, is the fact that there IS NO FALSE LOVIN'! (but very possible animalistic passion at the end of a bender

) It's really shitting me lately, and I see it between my friends, that absolute FALSE shyte that some of them come out with.. that I KNOW for a fact doesn't echo their true feelings... *grrr*
Saying all that, speed for me isn't really about a physical sensation. I rarely 'feel' myself on speed, or notice it (which often leads to me taking too much and staying awake for too long). I mean I notice it in my speech, and i notice it in the way i dance, but there's no real full on physical feeling... I'm not sure if I'm happy about that or not. I'm not sure if I'm happy that I generally feel quite sober when I'm on speed, or if i want to feel a little bit fucked... maybe that IS why i like it so much - because i can function normally and feel like a real human being rather than a blithering puddle of pill induced fuckedness

heehee.. i don't really dislike pills that much, i'm just getting more and more careful in regards to WHO i do them with, WHERE I do them and how MUCh i have...
and let me tell you... it' just not as nice when your boy isnt't there

Anyway, thats it from me.
Cheers for sticking it out through the enormous babble.
