how about crystal meth?

[fnord_too]

Do some research on meth, it is very nasty stuff. I read an article in the economist a bit back on it, they had stats from some small city where it was rampant. The number of children taken into child services because their parents weren't even taking care of them (like not even feeding them) was ridiculous. I wish I had the article here to quote some stats and some of the physiological effects. No way in hell I'd touch that stuff.

Don't even think about trying it there's plenty of better buzzes that won't destroy your life.

I've done weed, acid, shrooms, opium, coke and even tried crack once and you couldn't pay me $1,000 to even try a line of meth.

I live abotu 20 miles from meth central. But how do you do it? Ive heard you snort, inject, freebase, but ive never gotten a conclusive answer.

My friends snorted it. One crazy guy I knew shot it up.


Funny story about the crazy meth guy - he had spent 16 years in prison for attempted murder. He stabbed a guy 32 times - and the victim lived. I was like, "wtf were you stabbing him in the toes or something?".

It's mostly snorted although some do shoot it. I dabbled with it many years ago. Can't say I like it much. It does give you an super boost of enegry and the effects last mcuh longer than coke at a fraction of the price. If drugs were an auto race, coke would be like a drag race while meth is more like the Daytona 500. It's great if you need to paint your garage,wash the car, mow the lawn and clean the house...right now!!

The long term effects are horrible. Your teeth fall out, you can have serious dramatic weight loss, mental illness ( depression, paranoia, violent outbursts etc.) I'm lucky to have gotten out of it at an early age. Some of the people I knew back then now have serious health problems and some are even dead. Take my word don't f**k with this stuff.

you need to post more.

I have not read this whole thread, so this might have been mentioned. But, when I was at the Dr's. the other day for my "problem", I had asked them how hard it would be to quit. They said with the length of time I have been doing it and the amounts I have been doing it, it will (or should) be easier than quitting smoking. The Dr. went on to say that if I ever have a hard time, I can be grateful that I am not kicking meth, crack, or heroin. One reason being that both of these are cheap monetary wise. Second, that the addictive properties of these three are so much worse than cocaine. I asked her about meth some more and she said that the easy access to the drug also makes it so much more dangerous. I have talked to many people that have used coke in the past and they have all told me that even though they had severe coke addictions, they would rather do it again (even knowing how hard it would be to quit) than even try meth once. Plus, people that do coke can "function". They can, for the most part, go to their jobs, fake happiness to their mom, etc...but meth heads, basically lose all hope fairly quickly. But, i am basing all of this on 2nd hand info. I know that the short period of time I have done coke, I still care about the "little things". Like I still talk to my friends, look at baseball scores, play poker, etc... From my understanding a meth head would not do this.

p.s. I am not trying to say coke is not bad. Because it is. But, like my doc said, it could be much worse. I still have a lot of hope.
