Stato the meth should work better, or atleast as well as pseudo for decongestion. The only iffy part is what it is cut with , as I am sure certain smokable cuts could negate the bronchodilator effect that is caused by pure meth but it would be unwise to assume there are none which could exaccerbate these symptoms. While I think its a very valid point meth makes a good decongestant, comparing the risk (and cost mind you) to the reward seems like a last ditch option at best.
Indeed a last ditch option, I am quite confident the meth I have had today is 90%+ pure... - Comparing it to everything I've ever come across, the worst I'd have to say would be 50%, a yellow vile chemical smelling liquid which later turns solid... with a bad taste when smoked. Whereas this stuff looks like:

That said, I've had stuff that looks exactly the same as today's, but smokes up a lot faster and comparing it you can definitely tell it's cut because it does not go as far and the better stuff lasts ages in the pipe.
I should make it clear that It's not an option at all, period. You can't be THAT blocked up and not able to get a decongestant that you actually consider methamphetamine, the point I was making is that it's stupid how meth is easier to get than legit OTC access to pseudo, even when you sound/look/feel terrible and everyone (including the pharmacist) can see it.
Thankfully for myself I have been able to abstain from this drug for a number of months. I love a twirl almost like nothing else but unless I come into decent money or make considerable sacrifices to other areas of my life I simply cannot afford to maintain any kind of meth habit. I have to say this recent wave has take South Eastern Victoria for a storm, I know more than twice as many people tethered to the pipe these days than I did back when you could score good puff at half price. It really is sad to see so many old acqauintances who's lives have spiralled well and truly out of control.
First off - Congratulations! on abstaining If you were a mate I'd definitely be proud
.. Instead all I can offer is my congratulations and praise.
I can definitely relate to how that may feel, seeing friends go downhill... lives destroyed., I am just realizing that indeed, unless you're a drug dealer with connections and you SELL meth to feed your own habit, I can not financially sustain it. And Drug Dealing is a MASSIVE NO-No (It's one thing to put your own life in jeopardy, but to sell to others..... big moral no no here for me) -- (And don't let the wording of this post make it sound like I've considered it, because I definitely have not).
You know I have always been pretty down on the neurotoxic effects of MDMA abuse, but honestly the days where me and the boys would all flip biccies and hit the local joint were some of the best and most anxiety free times I ever had. It is kinda sad that even in todays day and age you are lucky to get that loved up messy vibe, bouncers are more likely to kick you out for a gurn than strike up a friendly conversation like a few years ago...
I agree completely. Even without the illegal drugs though, some of my best memories going out were pissed as a maggot, it's about getting into the zone though, and the night working out well (like you say, good vibes... bouncers playing nice, no fights, sticking together).. Mdma and it's mood enhancing/empathy/togetherness effects can better an already good situation... I can only imagine what it would be like looking back at my favourite night out and wondering what it would have turned out like If I'd eaten a pill or two.
That said, if you over-do it... even though you may have the vibe going, it can still put you on your arse... As I experienced last weekend... 5 pills and 1/2 point meth down (orally). I spent too much time worrying about getting fucked up, and took it past where I needed to be, ruining my night.
I have craved the SHIT out of meth lately,but I am staying strong. Nothing gives me the alert, confident and capable feeling I get from meth with some euphoria to boot but I am trying real hard not to use it. Honestly of all drugs to take it offers the least benefit to any individual not working 60+ hour weeks. Fuckin wish I never started this post I am peaing for a fuckin' toke now! lol
Stay strong dude, from someone who went only a week without a dose, and spending a good amount of money today on meth... to have it almost half pissed alway already.... Not a good feeling. I feel stupid trying to give advice back to you, considering I've got a pipe in front of me loaded up.... But if there's anything to learn from that it's something along the lines of:
I'm sitting here smoking meth just like you want to - BUT completely regretting the fact, just like you would if you gave in. Not just for the financial side but after abstaining for months you wouldn't wanna throw all your hard work down the drain.
Also, think about how it is to be skattered... I started this post as a reply to yours, which was a reply to my rant/discussion of methamphetamine use as a decongestant, and here I am talking shit again... haha.. Sorry dude. It's far too easy to talk shit when you're on stimulants.
