Work performance on methamphetamine

I realize this type of question is posted a lot, but I'd like some opinions from more people, as well as specify my case.


Anyways, I work a simple job. By that I mean there's no real thought required. It's extremely repetitive, and the work is pretty easy, although there's a lot of it. No exaggeration, a monkey could do it.

I'll be working long hours next weekend, and as simple as the job is it can get pretty tiring.

How would small doses of meth affect this? I've done meth quite a few times, but not at work. I feel like it would make it more bearable in the sense of having more energy, and possibly improve my performance.

Thoughts?
 
I've never taken meth but I take adderall for work and it seems to work pretty well. The only hang up is you really need to make sure you are staying hydrated and eat properly since meth will make your body exert more energy. Idk what kind of work you do but I believe amphetamines can cause muscle degradation if used while doing strenuous activities. Also I wouldn't rely on it everyday even at low doses, it will really wear on your body if taken daily.

What is your job?
 
Sounds like a slippery slope towards a full blown meth habit.

While no doubt it will make your menial job more tolerable, sometimes having the responsibility of going to work sober is the only thing keeping people from developing a serious full addiction.

I'd keep your meth to fun times and your work seperate.

I'm pretty responsible when it comes to staying hydrated. I have a habit of drinking a lot of water and I make sure to drink plenty of it, especially on meth.
It's kitchen work. Not strenuous in the least, but it can be tiring because of the length of the shifts.

As much as I appreciate your concern that's not really my worry. I recognize the fact that it's dangerous but I won't ever rely on it. I should've specified this question only applies to only 2 doubles I have coming up.
Meth is extremely easy to use in moderation for me personally.

Trust me, if there was at doubt in my mind at all that I couldn't remain responsible, I wouldn't even consider it.
 
I'm usually an instigator.. And yes I've done various 'inhibitors' at work.. But it is the quick route to addiction. There's lots of reasons, not just the chemical addiction. But work will forever suck when you are not high..
 
As much as I appreciate the addiction concerns, that's not my question and I'd really appreciate if we could distance ourselves from those types of comments.
 
Bro honistly for me it help tremendously. I also work a very easy yet repetitive job with 12 hour shifts. I found that smoking a good sized bowl or injesting a bit of meth made me more focused and improved my work ethic. Also made goin to work just plan fun haha! If u end up trying it let me know how your experience was!
 
I think the key is to use the drug only enough to enhance your performance but not enough to get you high, it sounds like that is what you are going for. I think Newin419 is right, if you come to work high every other day not only will it be an excuse to use the drug but also make work that much worse when sober.

Then stop being such a pussy and get high. If you are experienced enough you should be able to judge that sweet spot where you don't end up a tweaked out idiot causing more harm than good.

Just remember every single meth addict has said at some stage, "It won't happen to me"

Yeah, but please don't ever say "stop being such a pussy and get high" when speaking on meth ever. That's so damn stupid. But it can never hurt to recognize the precautions and know the potential risks.

I got you man. I go to work tweaked ALL the time. It's the only way. I would say a 20-30 would be a good dose of you've used before. Or a 10-20 of you wanna get high but not completely tweaked... I smoke Crystal Meth every day man. Trust me if you can function, keep yourself together, and don't totally show signs of then you will be fine. If you grind your jaw just chew gum. Take plenty of water. Also you may wanna smoke a few hours prior to work. You know so your not rushing at work. Haha. I always do this like 2-3 hours before my shift. And I'm pumped I get shit done. I don't get tired. I work hard and quick. I don't need breaks. Just be careful :)

I never thought of the gum thing, I'll have to try it. I'll definitely be going with a lower dose, at least to start with.

:). I learned that trick because of having to come home high and my jaw was grinding like crazy to much but that worked like a charm because what is someone really going to say when your jaws moving because your chewing gum.

In all honesty I'm not too worried about anyone figuring out. I work overnights, and the other workers as well as management really don't care whatsoever as long as I get my work done. But chewing gum seems like a great way to keep my mouth occupied so I don't have to constantly realize my mouth is clenched and get it sore.

You know every addict has said this at some point, right? I think keeping work and meth separate is a decent boundary to maintain. We all get bored, or tired. You can't get high every time it happens.

Just a thought.
 
This is just my opinion, but no, personally I would never do that. My views re: drugs in the workplace are pretty conservative...I have a physically demanding and potentially dangerous occupation, in an industry where drug use sometimes occurs, but is generally not tolerated at all. The only drugs I'll do while I'm involved in my occupation (I'm a seasonal worker) is a 1) a moderate dose of caffeine upon waking up, and 2) weed, but only at night after the working day has completed.

I would never do meth at or before work, and really I've found that methamphetamine usage doesn't even help me concentrate when I'm trying to study. It's a recreational thing purely, I've found.
