weight loss

When you smoke crack you lose your appetite, or just forget tot eat. Or spend all your money on crack and cant afford that food thing anymore.
 
Yes, you are correct, crack addicts smoke crack because they want to LOOK GOOD ... thats just funny you would think that... people use prescription uppers as well as crack for the high, a supressed appetite is simply a side effect (or as is the case with crack, food = money and money = crack)..
 
Because, well, uppers stimulate you. They mimick some of your body's natural molecules, stimulating the ancient mammalian circuit in your brain that tells you "rewards are available, go get them!" So your brain, tricked into thinking it's time to chase down dinner, fuck the cute cavegirl next door, or fight off the nearby tribe puts you into energy-consumption gear, and makes it so you don't worry so much about eating, sleeping, etc.... you can do all those things later...
But of course if you're tweaked out all the fucking time, there isn't really a 'later' and so your body never catches up. More energy out, less food in, and you lose weight.
 
YUP, drugs like EPHEDRINE are THERMOGENIC agents, meaning they accelerate the rate at which your body burns calories...they also depress your appetite as well, making you drop some weight..
if there are peeps out there looking for CRACK or METH because they wanna drop weight, they need to re-evaluate their goals..
 
All amphetamine and amphetamine related drugs (i.e. Adderal) are really big appetite supressors. Be careful with that, first time I did Adderal I didn't eat anything the entire day (because I didn't feel the need to) and I ended up getting a really really bad headache from it (the comedown on the Addies didn't help). But... check the search engine cuz this has been posted before.

zed :)

the reason why people lose weight is a combination of 2 things
1. they speed up your matabolism. using meth as an example. it releases dopamine and adrenaline, which essentially bootfucks your metabolism into over drive. you burn more calories so you lose weight that way
2. they act as an appetite surpressent. after smoking a puddle or 4, or doing a couple of lines. u just seem so full of energy that u go about and do tons of activities and not pay attention to minor little details. LIKE EATING.
this combination of burning off more calories than normal, and also not eating as you normally would to replace at least part of them is what causes a lot of people to lose weight. some even suffer health problems because of it.
you can counteract this by remembering to eat occasionally. if you're tweeking really hard, just try and have at least 1-2 peanut butter sandwhiches throughout the day.
peanut butter is loaded with fats, proteins, and tons of good stuff.
plus it tastes really good
hope this helped....
 
Hell, once I became a cokehead I dropped 40lbs. All for the low price of an 8ball every week or so :)
