Throat and other problems due to meth

[Santos 41]

I am not sure if I am tripping, or if my throat reall is messed up, but it seems like there are 2 cuts in the gum tissue in the back of my throat. I don't think that was already there, but I'm almost positive it was from when I smoked meth. It's been about 2 months and it hasn't healed. I took a 2 week break from tweaking, and it healed the wounds. I then smoked a good ammount of some really good tweak on the westcoast that is hard to find called shabu. I'm pretty sure that this is what's going around in the drug scene in asia. It was probably the best meth I have ever had, but it tore up my throat to the way it was before I took the break. The smoke was way thicker then your normal smoke from glass. The pipe would practically go white after one hit and the ammount of smoke you would let out leeft a giant cloud that you couldn't see through. I am wondering what I could do to fix this, or if its not anything, and I am just tripping. My friend had told me that you should torch the resin off the bowl before adding a new batch of different tweak to it b/c the different chemicals will cause certain reactions. If anyone has had a similar problem, or knows what I'm talking about, please help. Thanx.

Sounds like your doing it too much and since meth is hydrophillic its drying out your throat and making it crack or is in someway hurting it. I would stop for a while, maybe a month, then try again and if that doesnt work then try a throat spray or something to coat your throat before you smoke, make your throat as moist as possible, drink water or something before you smoke it, this is just my theory and opinion however, you could have a serious health problem so i would get it checked out by a professional before it becomes really bad.

I have stopped smoking bowls about 2 weeks ago, and only take lines. I don't have a pain or a click when i swallow anymore. The only thing that seems the same is when I look at the back of my throat. That's the reason why I'm not sure if it's always been there, but it just doesn't seem right. I really don't want to see a doctor b/c a friend of mine saw one for the same throat problems, and she said the doctor knew she was using meth and had served consequences. I guess the only way to avoid it is to quit, even though that will be very difficult. I don't use massive ammounts, more like a half gram usually a week at most. Most of the time less. I have been using for 8 months, but have only been using the piece for like 2 and a half months. Thanx for the advice though. Sorry, I should've posted this in the health section.

There were several times after smoked meth binges where my throat felt like sand paper and acted like dry cracked lips. It would cause me to get sick sometimes. As for lasting that long though, mine never did. It seems like there is something else going on as well. I'd wait a little bit longer and see if it goes away. And if not, then quit for a week, and go to a doctor, it'll be out of your system by them and if they accuse you of doing drugs then just deny it, they can't do anything except treat you.

Although both smoking and snorting meth can cause irritation to that tissue, neither will cause 'cuts' unless you are snorting a 1 inch sized shard of meth or something like that (which I doubt you are).
It sounds to me that either:
a)It FEELS like there are 'cuts' back there but it is actually just irritation/inflamed tissue.
OR
b)You do have actual cuts back there, but they are not from meth.
Why not take a break from both snorting and smoking? Try doing your meth orally for a while.
Also, in the future you should post these kinds of questions in the Health forum.

I think the cuts might have already been there, but when smoking, can't the gasious state of meth somewhat infect it with who knows what is in your batch? Well thanks for the advice, I will have to look up on this forum about doing it orally.
