Tips for Tweakers

[amphetaking]

Not 100% sure if this has been done yet, but I put together a simple list on handy items and good mindsets to keep while you tweak. Please keep in mind this is based on personal experiences, feel free to add on to the tips list, I'd appreciate it!


1. It's extremely important to stay hydrated and well-fed. Drink plenty of water and eat regularly. Stay away from sugary drinks as sugar can cause your teeth to rot.. Meth mouth isn't pretty and every tweakers fear.

2. Sleep! Even if it seems impossible, force yourself. Staying up for days on end without sleep will cause your immune system to weaken. Your body needs time to restore itself.

3. Keep your mouth "occupied" to avoid canker sores. Pacifiers, sugar-free gum, or a cheap mouth guard for teeth-grinding from a local drug store are some good options.

4. Before you start dosing, have a friend or family member hide the tweezers from you. Tweaker + tweezers = No good.

5. Remember, if in a car with friends or driving, not every car is a cop car. It's okay to be cautious, but maintain the paranoia. It's not too fun for your friends.

6. Have a good time. Don't make it overly stressful, the cops aren't outside and nobody's watching you. It's really all in your head. Be mindful of those around you as well. Give other people time to talk.



Well, that's my basic Tips for Tweakers list.. please feel free to add more for the fellow tweakers of BL.

Yes this is awesome! And the tweezer thing is SO TRUE. I quit tweak 3 months ago but my brother always uses it daily. I always hide the tweezers in my room from him, he'll end up sitting in my room for HOURS with those things.

Omg the cop thing was the best knowledge I believe. I smoked a ball of some butter one day and for like 2 hours geeked my balls off thinking cops were gonna bust through the door. I'm glad there wasn't a gun around it may of ended badly. I lol when I hear people say they wanna "geek" and chill I'm like bro.. If you knew what you were wishing you would be scared to death!

Nothing constructive to add really off the top of my head, but...

Tweezers, really? For what, hallucinatory subdermal insect extraction? Manic eyebrow plucking? General "I think there's shit in my face and I've got to excise it all right away" compulsions?

I've never once had a percieved need for tweezers when on amphetamines. Now arming oneself to the teeth on the other hand....

 

[PriestTheyCalledHim]

Main things I've seen tweakers do are:::
Sex
Tear apart electronics and put them back together (at least attempt to)
Sex
Duct tape every single damn thing they can get, silverware, walls, furniture, just EVERYTHING
Sex
Find a hug log, using only a sharp pocket knife, whittle it into a broom handle...
And then More Sex.

Oh, and annoy the shit out of anyone that is outside at night, when they are too. (hiding in the woods with flash lights)

I know people who told me how when they were tweaking they would go outside at night, get naked in public or semi-public, and then masturbate or have sex with random strangers who they met who were also probably on drugs.

 

[Burnt Offerings]

Just eat, hydrate and sleep.

You know, the basic shit you need to do in order to keep living.

I've also been driving from a party once (designated driver, no worries) with one broken tail light, when at some point I saw flashing lights in my rear view mirror. I was like: Fuck! NO! I CAN'T AFFORD THIS! When the car passed and I looked if the cop was giving me orders to pull my car over, it turned out they were other friends of mine who recognized my car and used a flashing light on their phone to fool me. ¬¬ So yeah, I was freaking out sober. From that experience, I want to hand you this great advice: If you ever know there are tweakers in the car ahead of you, prank them by using a flashing light. I can't imagine how much the shock would be amplified :D
(If someone actually pulls this off, please PM me with the result of the prank

)

 

[TW3AK]

The only advice I have for tweakers is a notebook, if I get to geeked I start to think that the cars that go by my house are the same that just went by, like they are scoping out my house. So I write down the plate number of each car and then cross reference, really helps calm me down when I find out its not the same car.

In regards to pranking your friends who are feeling, I eouldent recommend it, I live in a bad part of town so as a result I carry a gun with me, while I wouldn't shoot a cop(I've always cooperated when arrested) others may not be so reluctant to resort to violence.

7.L-tyrosine for the comedown, or maybe for pre-load.
8. L-tryptophan for comedown, preload decreases sterotypical side effects of amphetamine. ie. less figity, reduced jaw grinding, calmer, more peaceful. overall not as "tweaked"
8.magnesium ..muscle stiffness, cramps, magnesium plays a role in over 300 chemical reactions in the body, including production/release of nt's.
9.Protein shakes - hard for your brain to create more dopamine from essential amino acids that you are not consuming!
10. BANANAS! high amount of nutrition in a meal that can be very easily and quickly consumed with little thought. Will give a SUBSTANTIAL energy boost after days of "tweaking"

IV Vitamin Therapy...(great advice btw, i don't tweak, though)

Yep...few H and meth addicts I've been doing research on are now getting IV vitamin therapy after serious benders. The local Tech schools offer them cheaper than physician offices . Tweakers swear they make them feel a million bucks.

I've been around people from all walks of life lately, but it seems the middle class/rich are more heavily into drug use than the poor anymore.

11. get some chewing gum from chemist with sorbitol, xylitol (i think) they are designed to make you drull in saliva. helps to limit damage done to teeth caused by dry mouth leading to rapid bacteria growth. also helps to protect against chemical vapors from drugs.

It was ever thus. The rich only get better stuff, and since they have more to lose, they take care of themselves better. They can afford the organic foods, the detox spas, and so on... So they don't turn into wrecks nearly as quickly as someone whose entire financial means are devoted to their substance of choice.

Lol the only time I put tweezers to my face is when I'm plucking my eyebrows=-)
