Ive recently started using speed (not meth) a bit more, sometimes with pills sometimes on its own. i was wondering how quickly does tollerance build up to speed? is there a cross tollerance with E? would i have any tollerance problems using speed once of twice a month?
thanx

Speed tolerance, at least for me (and I'm presuming that you are American, and thus by "speed" you are referring to meth...if you are non-American than you mean "amphetamine" I would guess) develops fairly quickly. If I'm only using it once or twice a week, it's not usually a major problem -- yes, I do need more the third day in a row, but not THAT much more.
I haven't noticed any real cross-tolerance between meth/amphetamine and MDMA -- I won't roll quite as well if I've been tweaking recently, but I believe that's more because I've been using up serotonin and dopamine, and not becuase of actual tolerance issues -- thus taking MORE MDMA cause you have been tweaking will NOT help you get more "high" from MDMA.
I would say using meth/amphetamine around twice a month (preferably not too close to rolling) and rolling a couple times a month as well shouldn't be a problem tolerance or quality-of-high -wise. But then, since meth/amphetamine (and esp meth) are pretty neurotoxic, and MDMA probably is too, using these drugs generally isn't very good for you.

Again, let's try and cut down on slang... see the confusion it causes?
Urbal, speed does not "=meth" in all cases. In fact, in Europe and Australia, many people refer to amphetamines by this name. Try not to talk out of your ass or go away, okay Greenlighter?

Tollerance will develop over time.. if you are a weekend user don't worry, you should always be able to get off without having to take much more.. there is only a minor cross tollerance effect with MDMA and amphetamine..
Urbal -
That is incorrect, "speed" = amphetamine sulfate
"meth" = methamphetamine hydrochloride .. welcome to Bluelight, please do a little research before you make assertions like that..

I'm from australia and speed down here ONLY refers to amphetamines. Meth is known by other names as it is alot more expensive and harder to get.
Using it twice a month should give you know tolerance problems. Its not until you use it every week or several times a week that you get tolerance issues.
As PhreeX said there is only a minor cross tolerance. I have been using both speed and MDMA for quite a while now and i havent really noticed it anyway. I do use speed alot more than i do MDMA, however.

Thanx for replying, i did clearly state in the first line of my post what i was talking about "i have been using speed (not meth)" this i guess is also a give away to the fact i am from the uk, over here we call meth meth.
thanx again

Speed is just the stuff you find on the street. If you are getting meth then you will only be needing a few bumps & not bombing a whole gram. Speed comes in varying quality but if the deals you buy are consistant you will find yourself needing twice the amount you did over a period of time before you have done enough. This is probably when you will want to stop & also when you will break you're addiction.
 
Ah if you are from the UK then I find it easier to relate to. Say you start of taking a £5 wrap that does you good and proper. after a while you need two of these bags as the first one won't be enough. This is about the time when you realise you are doing too much. How long this will take I can't say but it is probably along the lines of a couple of years from starting.
 
Speed is just a name for a group of 'drugs' with very similair effects (wich are quite welknown). It can be about a 100 different compounds like amphetamine, methamphetamine, benzedrine, methylamphetamine and so on...
As far as amphetamine concerns I think the tolerance developes quite fast and can be really high. I must use about 15x the amount of amphetamine to get the same results as I did when I was new to it (about 5 years ago). Lately I use speed on a very regular basis (about daily).
 
My bad... Here in southern calif, "speed" and "meth" are used interchangeably. The difference in qualities are generally split into "speed"/"Crank" being the lower end street stuff that varies in color and consistancy. The higher quality clear/semi-transparent, crystal-ish, glass-like stuff is referred to as "Crystal" or "Glass". Anyway, sorry for jumping the gun...

I have been using "speed" [amphetamine sulphate mixed with glucose and harpic] regularly for a couple of years. Although I keep it to once every 5 or 6 weeks these days, I went through stages of using all the time. When I first started I'd do about half a gram in a night if I was going out. These days if I'm going out and using some speed, I'll do about a gram and a half.
That should give you some idea....
 
PhreeX -
No, I haven't been using daily the whole 5 years - started doing it in the weekends. Later on it got more...I did had times I did very little. But the last 6 months or so, I've been using about every day...at this moment: the tolerance is really high
 
I wanna direct this post in the cross-tollerance direction. You say there is a low cross-tollerance for meth and mdma? Basically...I've been doing meth 2 to 3 times a month on 2 to 3 day binges for about 8 or 9 months now. When I first started, I was still dropping pills and had a hard time rolling. I want to roll soon, and pretty much want to know if I'll have to wait a period of time before I can drop a pill effectively? If I dont have to wait, I might roll this weekend, if I do have to wait--I'll probably tweak and then take a break. Thanx in advance for any replies.

You'll roll, but it won't be fantastic -- definitely a little less intense than usual.

I and a friend regularly (ab)use Adderall (plain dl-amphetamine), since he has a script, and I know a number of other people who do so. My experience has always been that tolerance develops and fades quickly, on a timescale of about 2 days. Doing large amounts on consecutive days causes your tolerance go up; but waiting a day or two in between keeps this from happening.

Tolerance can happen fast. I started doing crystal-cheap very cut about 2 1/2 years ago and a gram could last like week or two. I rapidly moved up to a very good shipment of glass and one wek later I was doing anywhere from 2 to 4 grams on a party night and one on a regular day. I think in moderat e levels though, it effects MDMA because you are a little detached and less likely to be euphosoric
 
Yeah me and a friend totally wasted a pill bcause we had some lines of speed bfore and didn't know it would affect our roll, as a result- no roll, lesson learned!
 
In Sweden you cant even find meth, and even if you can its very rare, it isnt a dealer drug at all... When we say "speed" in Sweden we always refer to regular amphetamine. Very cheap 150-250kr/gram :p
