when shooting up coke you get that noise distortion and taste in your mouth and feel tingly for a few minutes. makes me wonder if meth has any weird things like that when shooting up? cuz clearly doing lines of coke doesn’t do all that i described. so whats it like? is it just instant euphoria or does weird other stuff happen briefly?
 
A friend of mine who frequently IV's meth (and wishes he had never done it that first time) gave me this answer for you about IV'ing: "It peaks immediately and then plateaus for many many hours. The comedown is a lot rougher than using other ROAs. The onset is immediate followed by a warm feeling throughout the entire body, coughing for some reason for me at least. The initial rush is everything. It's like seeing color for the first time."

Sometimes it's nice to drink a fine wine from an ordinary glass and just savor the wine for a while, before drinking it from the Holy Grail and getting too distracted by the container. Bad analogy, I know. But...

If you haven't smoked already, you might consider smoking meth abundantly first, to enjoy THAT rush and get some experience with the fun ritual of the pipe. That will also give you some time to research IV'ing it more safely first, while freeing your veins for other drugs you might be IV'ing right now. Once you IV meth you may never feel like going back to other ROAs later (seems to differ person to person).

As far as redosing IV meth I've heard from 4-6 hours to 12-16 hours, depending on the dose, quality, tolerance, etc. So it lasts quite a bit longer than IV'ing cocaine, hence a bit fewer injections/track marks.

A few quick resources that might help. You've almost certainly found the megathreads already, but just in case you missed them:





*Sigh*! :)
 
I cant imagine the rush being as strong as IV coke. Dont think anything can be that strong lol.

Ive only shot coke never done meth cause i like stims to much

Yes, good point. From what I hear the coke rush seems much more intense. The meth rush sounds like more of an ongoing experience with a really strong beginning, gradually fading away. Like the difference between being struck by lightning (coke) and watching a lightning storm all around you (meth), hahaha

Need more people who have done both IV coke and meth to share their experiences here to really hear the distinction.

It's been a while since I've been shot up with meth. Never had coke IV.

I'm familiar with both cocaine and cocaine base and the first time I was shot up with meth, it was like I smoked cocaine base for the first time. It was like one of those rides where springs pull you up a tower very quickly.

You get hot and -if you notice at all- the back of your head feels like it's on fire. The euphoria dies down a little and then it continues like that for hours.

Other things I have not noticed so far, but then I have only been shot up twice or thrice.

I hate that my erection dies and only Androskat can briefly get it up again.

This is my experience, I have months of steady cocaine use, years of (meth)amphetamine use. At my worst, I was basically consuming whatever I could, however I could.

Cocaine as a drug? I find basically zero use for. Sometimes I feel good, sometimes I dont. Most often I am just anxious and want to take more. I don't really find cocaine to be euphoric unless I take a big line right after waking up, or unless taken IV. I have never smoked crack. Mainly because I am certain that I would love it. The IV cocaine rush is very hard to describe. It's very fleeting but insanely euphoric, both cognitively and physically. IV so far is the RoA that I find to be worthwhile wish cocaine. I witnessed one friend acting almost dunk after shooting an un measured amount of cocaine. For at least 30 minutes he could hardly walk and was very dis inhibited.

Math, I actually personally think that the best rush comes from hot rails, followed by smoked. Oral also can provide a pretty good eush. Both IV and Rectal dont provide a super euphoric rush ime. Don't get me wrong, either route feels fantastic; but as others have mentioned, it feels more like an instant plateau followed by a slow comedown. IV meth is great when consuming a large amount almost instantly, but hot rails feel the best imo. Yes, some people cough after a big IV shot of meth. I'd get the cough when shooting 100mg +. It seems more common in people born female, but some people will actually orgasm after taking a big shot of meth. I have come very close myself, but never a full orgasm

Methamphetamine injection really depends on the purity and the dosage. It's probably the most intense thing you can feel when you start and its very sexual. If you go low on your .1 dosage it'll be like 4-5 hours of a hyper euphoric high where your either going to watch porn or fuck with one specific thing for that whole time. It makes your vision go into 4k.

I inject in the .3 to .5 range so my highs are like 12 - 18 hours but I have a big tolerance.

Instead of a bell ringing sensation you will start to hear the voices of your friends family and neighbors in the walls screaming at you about how there plotting to set you up and kill you. You may also have visual hallucinations of the shadow people or regular people that is so realistic you may do you something dangerous to protect yourself and get arrested.

Idk if I would like recommend doing it honestly. It's the shit though but probably the most extreme craving you will experience for something.

Meth is on par with shooting crack but it lasts 5 times longer. I've done ice shots where I felt like I was going to die from the rush. Coke has a more intense like onset than meth though.
