i agree, it’s not suprising at all.

I just wanted to add a piece of advice for this kid. Your brain after meth will not function the same for a week or so. You might be more depressed or paranoid or whatever. If i were you, i’d hold off on making any major decisions until this passes. Just concentrate on forgiving yourself and healing yourself. Eat fruit, exercise, practice relaxation, talk to your brother. Move on.

I tried it once or twice about 10 years ago and hated it. I felt guilty paranoid depressed and just had a general sense of malaise. I chalked it up to experience and ended up glad that I did it and did not like it. Like some of the other posters have said, I have a personality that makes me like to do things to the extreme. This works well for me as long as I direct my energy to positive activities.

Do not listen to Beatnik, he is completely wrong on this, it IS the devil and I have seen it ruin several peoples lives. I have seen several guys loose everything, and these were successful guys. Never turn your back on a meth addict no matter how much you used to trust him or her. Even the guys that kicked it were never the same again.

I agree 100%. My best friend was the nicest, most thoughtful person I’ve ever met. He would even call my parents just to visit and see how they were doing. He was also a very hard worker and very successful.

What he lost to meth:

2300 Sq foot house with 2 garages
Wife
$1000 per week job
Company truck
Company gas card
Company food allowance
Company bonuses
drivers license
insurance
friends
family
hygiene - he now goes weeks without bathing

He is not even a shell of the person he used to be. That would require an improvement.

Seems to be very pronounced in Oklahoma, thats where all these guys live/lived. I can see the scourge of this stuff after moving away and visiting a few times a year. It seems like someone new has gone down everytime I visit.

Pretty pathetic and weak willed across the board. I can understand the mild use of Marijuana and Alcohol (scratch drinking and driving of course), but willingly getting involved in a drug that has very known dangers, and is gravitated by people with weak wills, mental hangups and those who will obviously be more disposed to addiction.

I find it funny it is rampant in the mid-west, so much for those much hailed and over repeated “Mid-western values”, hahaha. I’m surprised so many have done it here, and I have a hard time feeling sorry for your abundance of friends and relatives who are blindly ignorant, boohoohoo. I can understand kids starving in third world countries, but not someone who makes a choice with their health. When Opiates and such took over 50-100-200 years ago I could understand the ignorance but not today.

If you can’t get your hands on any downer meds, then alcohol wil help put you to sleep — at least for a few hours. As a recovering alcoholic, that’s a tough bit of advice for me to give anyone. But when I used to meet up with Mr. Bubble, Donald Duck, or Puppy Feet on the weekends, alcohol was what allowed me to get some sleep (eventually).

Too bad they don’t make Quaaludes anymore. They were good for this back in the day.

A couple xanax or valium work great though.

I fail to see where you get the “Boohoohoo, my poor friend”. I don’t feel sorry for these guys, not one bit. I feel sorry for their kids and family, but not them. I feel sorry for a cancer victim, but not a drug addict, hell the cancer victims I have met did not feel as sorry for themselves as the drug addicts, and they had no choice. These guys made bad choices, and destroyed their lives, they have to live with it (or not). I was merely trying to point out the seriousness of meth, which I am not sure everyone understands.

just reading about meth makes me want to puke, i was on it for a couple of years. long story short, you spend allot of time looking at the ceiling above your bed at 3 o’clock in the morning wishing you had someplace fun to go. fuck meth, it’a a waste of time and money.

50

I think that this was…in the end…a good experience for you.

A lesson learned. But…did you further validate your bros use through this?

Scary shit

I am calling at least partial bullshit on this one.

I spent my “formative years” in central TX where bathtub crank was everywhere.
(Ether-base, yum :slight_smile: ) I can tell you from personal experience that if you did enough to stay up for multiple days, all at once, not only would you “get that euphoria everyone talks about” but you would get a rush that would blow your balls off.

I banged crank on and off for about 5 years, and even took enough one friday night that I turned pink, and they were shooting me with ice water. A truly huge spoon of shit, indeed. But I still went to sleep on Monday night.

Maybe it is a lot different when you smoke it? Seems like it would be weaker, though, and definately not longer lasting. Again, we would usually crank up on Friday night, and be asleep maybe by 3 or 4 am Sunday. This is after doing a quarter. Or at least, a quarter in 1975. Probably costs two hundred now.

Also, the guy that posted that Speed is not the devil is wrong. I can’t think of anything that will get on top of you and change your behavior more quickly.

Meth is the only physical sensation I have ever experienced that I would take over sex. It’s not even a contest. To get an idea of what it feels like, think about the first stage of an orgasm, just before you “deliver the load”. Your entire body is singing, right? Now multiply that by 10, and make it come in waves a few seconds apart. For half an hour. That is what the rush from banging a decent spoon of meth does. And after that, you speed your brains out for about 24 - 30 hours. THIS is why people will destroy their lives for this drug.

Very dangerous shit indeed. The other problem, even back in the 70s (I shudder to think what it is like now)is that where there is meth, there are guns. Lots of them, and they belong to people who have been awake way too long, and maybe aren’t the nicest folks anyway.

As happens so often, I am grateful that I was young, dumb and full of cum when it was much safer. So there it is kids, just say no to drugs, at least partially because you were born after everything got violent and shitty. Oh yeah, and disease-ridden. And don’t even get me started on that rap music.

I have got a lot of friends that never recovered. I feel so blessed to have never let a drug get on top of me.

Kliplemet, I can’t explain my experience, other than by the fact that I probably didn’t get very much of the drug in me. I honestly did not feel that great. My heart rate increased and I definitely felt “stimulated”, kind of like I had taken too much ritalin or adderral or something. But there was no big euphoric sensation. Or maybe the experience was just ruined by the intensity of the convo I had with my brother.

any euphoric feeling would be attributed to an addict lacking the drug long enough that the feeling of finally having it is euphoric. think of it as super addictive caffine, woop de fuckin do. like i said, it’s a waste of time.

56

Feeling better yet?

Like the other poster said, you may feel pretty bad for a while after using. I’ve inadvertently had bad/tweaky E before, and I know how awful you might be feeling. Are you getting any cravings for other substances or for more meth, despite not wanting to do it again?

57

What all of you guys saying"That shit didn’t do that, it’s not that great" are failing to recognize is that not all meth is the same, nor what people cut it with. Crystal meth is one of the most potent, and anyone I know who has used it says that high is exactly as described. How you use it also affects the high. If the shit wasn’t so great, we probably wouldn’t have the problems we do now.

58

I’m significantly better now; had a full night’s sleep last night (24 hours ago), although it was a little on the restless side. The appetite is back to normal. The only thing I’m really feeling now is a slightly depressed mood (irritability, lack of motivation, etc.). just seems to be a residual thing, nothing too bad, and hopefully will go away soon.
