do you regret doing meth?

i havent tried meth yet but a mate of mine wants me to smoke some with him next week , he say's it's just like xtc sorta but it last longer and your all charged up , after getting alot of smacked out pills im tempted to try some meth cause of the euphoria and charged up dancey energy, But ive been doing heaps of research on erowid.org on it and most of the experiances have been bad , people getting hooked on it and doing stoopid things , i personaly dont think i should try this drug cause im not a very strong willed person and im afraid ill get hooked on it and it will take me over , cause i went through a stage a couple of weeks ago wear i was pill 2 times a week and couldnt stop.

i just wanna know if you could go back in time and know what meth is like would you still do it?

Fuck yeah, its fucking great. Stick to strict rec use on weekends, know how to make the best of your come downs, be a naturally positive and friendly person and you will love it. Depending on the quality of the gear, don't get carried away. Smoke about a quarter of a point first and see how you feel. Smoke it out of a proper pipe, don't waste the shit with foil or light bulbs. Hold it in for a 4-5 seconds - no need to hold your breath forever. You should feel an immediate euphoric rush and excitement to ring every one of your mates and invite them over for a sesh, either that or an extreme desire to get some lovin' or as a last resort get some porn - but those may occur closer to the come down.

Your dick will shrink, so if planning to pick up, be prepared for a possible embarassment I've never ever had good sexual experiences on meth when I was single until I met my girl.

I am a person who gets addicted to things very easily. I even went through a phase where I HAD to have a cone before bed.
I now have a bag of meth sitting in front of me (a very little one for any coppers reading this) and I have 0% temptation to have any of it. In fact this whole weekend I will have it right here and I will not even pick it up (my gf is working all through the weekend, so no partying). Its that easy.

no i dont regret it at all.

its a lot of fun, you feel like u can do anything u want, like u have unlimited energy. it is different to xtc, it doesnt make u blissfully happy, but gives allot more energy.

ive read the horror stories on erwoid aswell and they are scary, and things could get scary if u let it happen.

if u are worried about getting hooked maybe u should only do it strictly on weekends. it can be very tempting to have 'just a bit more' when u start to feel like you are coming down, but u just have to remember the longer u are buzzing the longer u are going to be coming down.

Well, maybe you shouldn't. I'm not saying don't, but it's always good to look at things from both points of view. Obviously addiction is your worry. Here's how I explain the potential for addiction to meth, as opposed to pills.

During the time you spend on pills, you're distinctly out of it. The strong alteration in your behaviour, physical appearance and mental capacity (eg concentration span) make it hard to go about your daily life and interact with people who you do not want to know about your activities. So for example, you can't really go to work, spend time with the family or go to school. The extatic sense of wellbeing is a stark contrast from reality... To the extent that you know that you can't live your life on pills. The fact that serotonin is a fairly delicate neurological system also means that you simply can't continually take pills, because the more you take, the less effective they get...

Meth is a different story. It is far easier to hide the fact you've had a few lines from your family, co-workers, friends, boss, etc than dumping a pill. The mental effects aren't as excessive - better concentration, no need for sleep and a cruisy euphoria. Physically, the dialated pupils are the only real give aways... A little sweating and restless body language are easily explained. That's one of the reasons it can be easy to get addicited to meth - you can feel good, and usually go about your daily business with few hassles, because the effects aren't as strong or visable to others as pills... Obviously, if you have a shitload, have been up for days or are running through copious amounts of money... Others are more likely to notice. I'm not saying it's impossible to tell when someone is using it, it's just far harder than most substances. The dopamine system is also more robust, and levels regenerate quickly compared to serotonin. This makes using more often possible. With sustained use, you can easily adjust to increased levels of alertness & energy and you might wind up expecting to be at that level of mental alertness at all times... Requiring meth at all times. Your brain & CNS may also adjust to external dopamine stimulation, and dopamine levels might get depleted, meaning when you're not on meth you don't feel as alert or energetic as you should. That's when taking meth would probably make you feel normal, and that's when it's a serious addiction. When you need it to feel normal.

Anyway, I'm thinking out loud here. There's some food for thought.

[edit - I don't regret doing meth, but frankly I find it a boring drug and I've never really enjoyed it]

Whatever you do, best of luck and stay safe

Im on meth right now and i do regret it. I wanna sleep so I can be fresh for the weekend but theres no chance. I've drunk a 6 pack and eaten 6 Valium still cant turn off the engines.

I usually use meth for studying or doing assignments when i can't find the motivation. But doing it when you go out can be very enjoyable as well. I do not regret using it because i am one of the lucky people who listen to their body. as soon as i feel that little niggling feeling in my mind 'hey man, just have a little b4 work' or whatever, i know to say fuck off brain, i can do it without meth. I find the comedowns a little rough, short temper, agitation, wanting to be solitary etc. but that doesn't last to long as long as you don't start taking it to lose the come down. just sit it out. put on some tunes and spend the few hours thinking in bed or whatever. smoking however is MUCH more addictive than snorting or eating it. i find snorting or rubbing it into my gums does the job nicely, but it's up to you. If you are curious, it is in your hands whether or not you try it, but don't go into with a neive attitude as it can become addictive VERY quickly. And whatever you do, try not to binge on the stuff. you'll feel like absolute SHIT. just listen to your body and the moment you find yourself thinking 'i gotta go to work, how about just a little bit of meth', no matter how tempting it is, just do not do it if you're worried about getting addicted as that would be your initial downfall.
So i'm gonna give you the clice, MODERATION! and don't use it for everyday activities. it is a highly psychologically adicitive substance so be careful and as i said before, listen to your body and when you start to want to use it for basic everyday activities, put it away for a while. otherwise who knows. if you're strong enough maybe you'll be fine, but you seem hesitant of your ability to say no to something like meth. in your case, try not to be pressured into smoking it. stick it up your nose or rub it into your gums and you'll be fine.
Be careful and don't get over zealous with the shit. Only you can control yourself, we can just give advice. hope this helps you man.

Have a good one.

i havent tried meth ii dont think i would smoke it though
but i was wondering how much do i take..?

I don't regret trying meth at all.
I've been through some pretty bad speed binges in the last few years, but it always corrects itself fter a while (well I always correct myself).
Smoking it can be pretty compulsive sometimes, why not just eat some, or crush it up and snort it if you're worried?

i agree with that last sentence. if you think you may have problems with addiction, think twice before smoking.

it's great, i don't regret it but my teeth probably do!

MMMMmmmmmmm.........Meth.......MMMMMMmmmmm......Gooood.

ive never done meth but i reallly want too, im scared of addiction though, so i think i might have to stay away.

I want too try ice too, i dont really know the difference between meth and ice though, i know ice is stronger, thats about it....

I regret wasting money on meth.

And that's what it is, a waste.

yes i regret it and can't see myself doing it again anytime in the future.

apollo: top reply, i couldnt agree more.

LahLah: there is not much chance of ODing when smoking. It is hard to take anything more than 15mg in one toke and a lot of that gets breathed out. Yes, smoking it is a direct route of administration much like IVing, but no, the danger level is a lot smaller. Depending on the quality of meth you get which in 99% cases will be 50% max, start with quarter point after which you should feel profound effects. The effects should be quite strong for someone who has never had meth before. Have some more later maybe... Don't smoke more than quarter point in one sesh. Listen to your body and ask, do you really need another toke, are you reving? I can easily tell this and have said no to another toke plenty of times. Doesn't mean you can't have another one in an hour or two. In total, I woudn't have more than 50mg - 75 mg during the whole night and next day if I never had meth before.
As a reference, in one toke, you should get anywhere from 5mg to 15mg depending how hard you fry it and if you got one of those jet lighters. Remember, meth burns past 175C and vaporises at that which is what you need. If you heat the pipe past that, you'll burn it. But the faster you heat on the other hand, the more you'll get also in a toke, hence a bigger hit - its great, talking about it makes me want to do it right now - but the will power shall always prevail.

I agree with anyone above that said that if you're worried about addiction then maybe don't smoke it. It's one of the more addictive methods due to it's quick high and hard crash once it wears off. Snorting is more of a stretched out curve which doesn't land quite as hard when it ends.

Ultimatly it's up to you, but if you have doubts then I'd say don't do it. You should never try any drug unless you're sure you really want to.

P.S... just realised I didn't answer your specific question! I'd do it again if I could go back in time, but I can also can acknolwedge that meth is the only substance that I ever came close to having a problem with. It can become quite routine, and you don't realise how fucked up it can make you while you're still doing it. After I cut back considerably, I realised that I'd been going very hard and was probably somewhat addicted. Luckily I was able to see this - I tend to be very strong willed when it comes to drugs and meth still almost beat me. So yeah, if you think you might have addiction problems then think long and hard before giving it a go.

2nd night awake and 'yes' same as yesterday still regret it. 8(

meth is good, meth is wonderful. meth is also one of the harshest mistresses i've ever encountered. especially smoking it. i don't regret doing it, and yet i regret knowing meth so intimately every time i have a smoke. it's that kind of drug. it hooks some, and shuns others. used occasionally, ie. once or twice a month, it's not a problem. used regularly, ie. three or more times a week, it soon takes over your life, and permanently alters the way you view reality. once hooked, you can tell yourself you'll only have the half-point now, and leave the rest for later. but once you have that first smoke, all plans fly out the window, and soon you find the whole bag empty. some people seem to be able to resist the allure that is meth smoking, others, such as myself, have to struggle over many months to bring their usage under control. meth nearly cost me my sanity, seriously damaged my financial well-being, aside from a plethora of physical harm, but it also provided me with some of the best drug experiences i've ever had. i only have two addictions, nicotine and meth. i've slowly brought my meth use under control, but i still slip now and again. treat it with respect, and keep it at arms length if you must do it. i can't recommend you refrain, to me it's the best stone i've ever experienced in my life. but don't trust my judgement, this is a habitual user talking.

I dont regret the odd bit now and then, but like smoking, I do regret ever having tried it.
