Why so down on meth?

[darkrob2009]

Why is everyone so down on methamphetamine I was 256 pounds then I used meth for about 6 weeks I am now 179 pounds quit using meth many months ago started eating protein and I'm in great shape. I have no desire to continue using the drug I didn't like the way it made me feel I used it only for weight loss. my cholesterol levels are way down below where they were before, and no the weight has not even begun to come back as I exercise regularly now to keep it off, I will remind you methamphetamine is prescribed as a prescription medication for obesity the people that have problems with it I believe would have problems with any drug some people just have an addictive nature.

everything in life should be done naturally.

u are lucky that u didn't become addicted.

many people can't use it controlled like that and become addicts.

meth, along with other stimulants and opiates/opioids are hedonist drugs.

that's why I'm personally down on it.

Many meth users don't take it as a prescribed medicine (rare exception it's prescribed for ADHD) and are chasing that euphoric high (by smoking it, etc). This begins the descent to binges with no sleep for days, malnutrition, psychotic episodes, and just in general the depletion of the "feel good" dopamine. It's all about self-control. And it's very hard to have self-control with such euphoric drugs as these (know this from experience).

Very easy to to spiral out of control on meth/amphetamine drugs in general.

"home synthesis" meth is just a filthy drug, that's why.

did you get desoxyn? people are down on it because it's an intense drug that many people are ruined by.

Meth is becoming more common in the UK. I believe it is very misunderstood and that like the recent ketamine price rise, keeping the price dose-appropriate (eg around a tenner a point or bit more) is key to it not becoming an issue.

People have this idea that uk amphet base/sulphate and meth are worlds apart but they feel v similar with the good parts of coke mixed in.

If it was on street corners for 30 quid a g I could see an issue developing. One things for sure tho a lot of crack users lives would become more fun!!

I've used amphet, methamphet, crack and heroin and to me heroin is the one I wish I'd never tried. A true curse.
