The Meth Thread

[Bludda]

Fucked teeth are nothing to worry about. Meth seems great until you end up in emergency, hallucinating with a heart galloping like a race horse, electrodes plugged in all over your chest and the nurses looking at you like you're a piece of shit.

The first time I took it, I never thought I'd go that far down the line. Slippery, insidious shit. You don't have to be a gutter-fuck iv-ing everyday for it to mess you up, either.

Oh yeah, bugs, paranoia, pellet turds, arrhythmias, rage - and that's from moderate recreational use.

Meth - whoa, indeed...

 

[DivineMomenT]

I never liked meth too much. It keeps me up for far too long with minimal euphoric effects. It makes me feel dirty and want to shower. The first time was awesome. The rush from smoking it made me feel like superman. After the first time I never got any good effects from it.

 

[ifonly]

yeah its good but dont you feel guilty fucking your body so hard?

i mean, im all for the best time possible, but permanent damage just isnt my thing. i Know that eating well and sleeping etc can avoid some damage but the fact remains that it is simply a damaging drug.

thats why i like opiates - you can get smashed as fuck, and yes, theyre addicting, but at least you know that if you maintain your standard of living then you arent actually frying anything inside you. i've done meth a couple times and both times while the high was amazing and i loveloveloved it, i could never bring myself to be keen for it again simply because i care about myself too much. and i love my sleep.

these days if someone offered me meth for free, i wouldnt take it. and for me, thats saying something.

 

[Pillthrill]

Hey, I'm just trying to get people to see where they might end up. No one ever thinks that they will end up strung out or whatever, but people do and thats a fact. Why damage your body and possibly your life forever just for what, a year or less with meth? I've seen in take everything from people. When they have to go back and rebuild, its heart breaking. Did they ever think that would be them that first time, hell no. " Slippery, insidious shit." For sure, you said it!

 

[browntar]

^Pillthrill is right there however,

OP: Meth? Are you in the UK? It's the only proper drug I've never done. Was it ice & did you smoke or IV it or what? I've heard it's like a long-lasting crack, is that the case. Crack really ain't my cup of tea and I only ever speed-balled it. I would try meth despite being drug-free sober now (last couple of months).

Reading your messages it's obvious you're high on something or enjoying the time.:D

Stimulants aren't my thing and I used to look at crack & coke fiends & think they were just greedy fuckers, now I know that it's their personality & if I had their dispositon I'd be fiending crack same as them. I fiended opiates & downers instead.

I believe those faces of meth are of people who are at rock bottom who are homeless and no way to wash themselves or keep clean.

Yes, meth can be a horrid substance, but i know people who use it and live normal lives. I myself do not use it, nor have i tried it, i would like to, but only to experience what the high is like.

I agree. It's a horribly addictive substance, and it did a number on my life, but that was my own fault. I know plenty of people who like to get spun with the rest, and have no problems with it, and keep it well in control.

I think it can be a wonderful substance and can enhance performance and mood if used properly. I - unfortunately - cannot use it properly, so I don't use it at all. Glad to hear that you had a good time with it, it really is quite a ride huh? I've had many a wild-time with that one, and part of its tainted appeal is that there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about those times. As long as you keep them in control, they'll stay fun times for you, if not, they may just haunt you.

and im out of meth btw not fiendin nothin

yeh, of course not yet... but remember this... cos if you are ever in this posityion you know you're further down the spiral than you'd have yourself believe

Meth - whoa, indeed...

wow, i couldn't have said it better myself.
even recreational use is just too fucking impossible to control (probably cos when you get on it, you're gonna be fucked for a day minimum... probably 2. The saddest part is just how fast you slip down the slope... and even sadder, you don't realise/care.

 

[ifonly]

i agree with everything but i find it hard to understand how meth can be 'hard to control' - i know it is addicting, supposedly, but how so?

after you've been up for 48 hours straight tweaking, even if you want more meth, dont you want to sleep? regardless of whether your tired or not, dont you just want to sleep for a bit? i could never miss out on sleep for that long a time.. even missing out on one night makes me firl all dirty, and the thought of doing a drug that will keep me awake then just digusts me..

dunno, maybe just me?

 

[Ginger Jack]

Never smoked it before, I feel like I'm missing out, But I have done many meth bombs in my day, does anyone know if the effects would be somewhat the same, or are bombs just a little jist of what meth is like?

 

[nleksan]

I'm Rx'd Desoxyn (d,-meth), so that kind of makes me have no interest in street meth. I mean, if a friend randomly pulled out a nice, shiny, pure-looking meth crystal I'd probably give it a go, but I find stimulants don't cause the same effects in me as they do in everyone else. Plus, I wouldn't know where to start dosage-wise: it'd obviously be higher than someone with no tolerance because I have taken it medicinally every day for almost a year (note: teeth are fine, skin is fine; in fact, I get compliments on how good of teeth/skin I have) and I certainly wouldn't want to over-do a drug of this calibre.

Plus, I just don't really know how much I'd enjoy it... My Desoxyn (along with all other stimulants EXCEPT d,-amp) has a calming effect at "my therapeutic doses" (20mg d,-meth/day, 40mg d,-amp/day, 60-90mg d,l,-amp/day, 70-90mg m,phenidate/day, etc). D,-amp, aka Dexedrine or Dextrostat, is the only upper that gives me euphoria, but the effect requires continual dosage increases and before I knew it I was taking 90-150mg of Dexedrine/night to feel the same as 10-15mg had made me feel 2 months prior. That's why I don't abuse my Rx meds anymore; I know that nothing good comes from it.

I also figure that my 20mg of pure dextro-methamphetamine would be equal then to about 40mg of racemic methamphetamine (the l,-isomer has almost no effect, even less so than l,-amp vs. d,-amp). Street meth can be anywhere from 10-90% purity, but I bet the average (by the time it gets to the end user and has been stomped on by however-many people; no to mention most "chemists" aren't exactly the most skilled drug manufacturers) purity is 30-50%. So, technically, over the course of the day I am consuming anywhere from a bit less to a bit more than a point of street meth orally.

When I first started taking it, it DID have a STRONG difference in effects, and my first month was only at 10mg/day switched from 40mg/day Dexedrine. I could definitely tell it was much more serotonergic, and didn't screw with my norepinepherine as my heart rate didn't go up and my BP dropped. I was actually afraid to take the pills the first time; I've never been afraid to take an Rx drug before. I just knew that they were the "end of the line" ADD medicine, so they must be pretty damn potent.

Anyway, being so ADD and having been Rx'd meth for a year, I don't know that I'd even get the "typical" effects from it. Most likely, it would do what cocaine and amps do, and that is cause me to sit and think calmly and quietly. They slow me down as opposed to speed me up, but I don't know what "large" doses of street meth taken intranasally/smoked/IV'd would do. I'm not trying to thread-jack, just adding my own experience. Anyone in a similar situation have any experience?

It's the same thing, but so much more at the same time.

Imagine the peak of the feeling you get when the meth high is at it's greatest, now take that and imagine it charging through your body like a warm wave of happiness and excitement as you exhale.

It's kind of like the difference between getting in a car and slowly ramping up from 30k/h to 120k/h over 15 minutes, and getting, turning on the engine and ramming down in the peddle as hard as possible. I mean sure the first method will get you through a long journey much the same in the end, but there's just a level of intensity and exhileration you don't get.

You just don't notice it really, especially eating. I'm someone who hates being dirty or unkempt so that does bother me somewhat, but you're so full of life and energy and so wrapped up in whatever you're doing that you just don't pay attention to sleep or food.

Damnit, now I want a smoke 'That' is what you have to be careful with with meth. The cravings are bitch, and they sneak up on you out of nowhere. Sometimes I wonder if they'll ever go away, but mostly I wonder if I'll ever manage to stop for long enough to find out.

umm where did he go? sleeping for the next three days I imagine. the only thing I liked about meth were the first three hours. the fact that we went to a strip club, and then I became obsessed w/ sex for the next 32 hrs was NOT fun at all. I spent $100+ on porn! Look I'm not trying to be funny or sick! I'm really not. I had no idea what was about to happen to me. At the time I tried meth, I had a gf and I feel that we had a normal sex life. I have never had a "thing" for porn. I mean I've always had a magazine or two stashed away, but that's about it. But the night I tried meth I was obsessed with f**king and since my gf was away (which was the whole reason why I even tried meth, because I had our apt to myself for the weekend), my only other option was porn. I know that the strip club didn't help. I'm making this confusing so let me try to tie this together. I'm not going to lie, the initial rush was great, but then like I mentioned, I seemed to be taken over by this urge which I had never felt before and I was obsessed. I think I watched 8 DVDs and did not go to sleep until 4am on Sunday morning. Keep in mind that I smoked it for the first time around 10pm on Friday night!

I get sick to my stomach even thinking about meth and how it made me feel. Have fun dude.

 

[discopupils]

Right so I nipped ot the cash machine to see if i've been paid yet all is good, on my way home some guy walks up to me and he has a big black bin bag, i taker me headphones out and he says. 'want any socks?' I was spun out to fuck then decided this could be fun,

I Inquired about the quality and price of the socks, when I couldn't understand his reply I simply said nah mate, not intersted in socks thanks. He politely says back, aww i'll just dump them then.

...Wtf just happened? seriously.

I lol at high posts

yeah I wouldnt mind smoking meth once, but it scares me.
I'll stick to coke until curiosity gets the better of me.

Or an even shorter explanation: you totally skip the comeup .

 

[the_ketaman]

I wasnt an addict for the first 2 years of my use, it was really hard for me to get and it was what most people would call crank or bathtub meth, no crystals just a mushy, wet powder like substance I just used to eat the stuff.

Now 4 or 5 years down the track and ive been in rehab twice, shot up my fair share of the stuff and completely fucked my brain chemistry up, would I take it if it were offered to me right now....fuck yes!!! Though id me smoking the shit, im never using needles again. Crankinit is so right, the cravings just creep up on you, I wasnt even thinking about meth until I read this.

But my point is no matter how controlled or responsible you think you are, you can never let your guard down and succumb to the evil conscience telling you to go score on a wednesday arvo. Meth can be some fucked up shit but it can also be a load of fun and it is really people being lazy when they get addicted or they just dont notice the addiction until they hit rock bottom. Controlled meth use is totally possible you just have to take notice of what is happening around you and not just whats in the baggy.

Mate, I'm not talking about "doing it every day out of control" - I'm saying you can be out of control with meth and only take it a few times a month, if that. Taking it just on weekends, when you're amping up for a big night, can become habitual. Then you start upping your dose, then it takes longer for you to recover, then you get stressed out during the week, then you look forward to having another big weekend.

You don't get addicted to the BAD effects. Meth does feel awesome, and sleep is something to be worried about later. Especially if you have some benzos on hand. Everything feels so fucken fine, it's easy to forget the shit sandwich you're gonna find yourself in in 16 hours

 

[Falc0]

OP, you're right... meth is AMAZING. I can't lie, I had some damn good times with that stuff, but it seriously did tear up my life in the end. You should consider yourself lucky it's not easy for you to obtain because I didn't think it had a hold of me until way down the line.

 

[Alkaloidpun]

I suspect that the teeth thing has little to do with methamphetamine itself; with most meth being smoked (not injected for some reason), and the impurites left behind after hillbillies synth the shit in their outhouses- it'd be a wonder if those corrosive agents didn't damage the teeth.

because injection is the worst way to do the drug, and injection is for one, the riskiest, and the MOA that leads to OD most often, it also ruins your physical appearance and forces you to either be viewed as a junkie or to wear sweatshirts all day everyday.

not t omention injecting not only leaves the user addicted to the drug and its rush twice as much as regular use of the drug would, it also leaves mos users addicted to the "needle fetish". to the point where people start injecting sleeping pills and alchohol just to satisfy their fetish.

injection is the wors MOA, and is used mainly only by true junkies, something nobody should ever want to be.

 

[danalprazolam]

yeh, that's how everyone starts. they love the rush and the prolonged high... there's no going back to coke or amphetamine if you love meth.
I don't know you, but I'll guarentee this isn't the last time you use it. Meth can get to anyone... rich, poor, smart, dumb... don't fool yourself.
Just wait til you run out and start fiending for more...

Not true at all. I'm a complete drug user. Have done everything and only got addicted to prescription opiates.

However they say dont do meth even once.. Well I snorted a nice fat line once and was feeling so fucking good for 12 hours straight. I even slept then woke up twaked out.

Then for seriously 7 days straight I couldn't get out of my bed...

E was also a drug I only did once.

I know the meth high is like a more powerful intense longer coke high. However I prefer high quality cocaine for it's short duration and good high. Nothing bad about good coke except the price Haven't had any in along time now actually.

I even quit smoking bud. Just on suboxone and clonazopam
