How the hell do you get addicted to meth?

[Drenalin]

I've never seen meth in real life, but aren't the two substances smoked entirely differently? I cannot imagine mistaking a meth pipe, or crack pipe, for a pipe that has weed in it?

I'm not sure. If I remember right, they were passing around a glass pipe. For all I know it could've been mixed or something. I didnt ask any questions when they told me the story.

Maybe someone here that has smoked meth can verify

They start off with weaker drugs like Weed. Then they start to get a tolerance for it and need a shit ton of weed to get the same high. Slowly they move on to stronger things to get the same high like Cocaine or whatever. And eventually someone tells them Meth will give you the biggest high of your life. And boom.

That's why weed should stay illegal. It all starts off with the weaker drugs. You don't just start taking meth as your first drug. Or maybe you do, IDK..

That is the individual with no limitations and a highly addictive chemical makeup. There are millions upon millions of life long stoners who may have tried one thing or another over the years, but they don't turn into heroin junkies or meth heads, because they know their limits and understand that shit is incomprehensibly worse for you than pot.

You might as well say all heroin junkies started with pot, but that's not always the case. If you have it in your DNA to become a junkie, then anything under the sun would have sufficed. Can't blame pot on that, it just so happens to be the easiest target because it can't actually kill you and a lot of people do it.

Yeh that would never happen. Crack maybe, because you put a direct flame to it, but never meth.

 

[Scott Parker 27]

This. Don't the two smell completely different? Weed smells strongly of weed and meth has a chemical odour, no?

Not if theyre well mixed together Im guessing. Ive smoked weed and coke and had no idea until after.

 

[The Diplomat]

This is true for some substances, like meth, that are all psychological. Opioids, benzodiazepines, alcohol, that's a different story.

Aye, some are physically addicting, and no amount of tolerance or non-addictive personality will change that.

 

[usfbrah]

There is no physical addiction. There is a comedown but there are no withdrawals.

But whatever. I'll listen to the guy who has no experience with the drug when I've done it a shitload of times.

Yep. That's why I used to love the hell out of it. Once I got off it , it took like 2 days for my body to readjust

That's a point, never thought of that.

I smoked crack with weed underneath in a pipe a couple of times when I didn't have any cigarettes. Killed the hit a little but not that much. I could def tell the difference but crack tastes a more chemical than coke when ignited.

Meth doesn't smoke the same way as cocaine though. Hard or soft. I've never heard of anyone smoking meth with direct flame. I don't think that would work, or at least it would waste the hell out of it. You just heat meth, you don't put fire to it.

Fucking lol, I didnt know Nancy Reagan was a sherdogger!

Someone ask this kid what a tittie feels like, so he can explain how it feels like a bag of sand....

Ah, I've never even seen meth. Only people I've spoke to in the UK who've done it dit it in prison, and that was probably shite. Thanks for clearing that up.

You just heat the glass (or foil) like this underneath. But don't get the flame as close as this jackass is doing. You want a little gap between the tip of your flame and the bottom of the glass, otherwise you're going to be burning it up quick. There's an art to it, it's the only drug I've ever done that requires a skill. Besides IV.

Edit: here's a better representation. This guy is doing it right.

Meth isn't as bad as Krocodil or Jenkem.

War Krokodil

 

[sub_thug]

Honestly, I ask this question to any cigarette smoker who started in the last 10 years. Why even start?

 

[Beechwood]

I watched a show on HULU the other day on Meth addiction. It was shocking to me at how normal the guys taking meth were. The drug had ruined their lives. They said so, and it was easy to agree. They also didn't come across as being addicts. They seemed to normal.

Smoking heroin off foil was something I only did once or twice but I had loads of people around me did it. There's a knack to it alright. It was funny to see drug addicts who waste like half of their drugs at the time. I was in a bad place with alcohol then. Dark times that have long passed.

I'm pretty glad meth wasn't around when I was young. I would've probably seen prostitutes on it where I used to live and likely been put off it though. Same as other hard drugs at the time.

Speaking as someone with experience, this is total bullshit.

 

[dildos]

I've never done meth or even seen it in real life. But I've heard stories of people getting meth passed to them in a pipe & they smoked it by accident assuming it was marijuana. They didn't get addicted though

no one will ever get a glass pipe and a weed pipe mixed up ever....

weed pipe

pipe for crystals

crystals burn differently to weed also. its very noticeable. i think that person falsified their story because they didnt want to say they actively wanted to try meth.

heroin has always alluded me kindof. but actually i havent actively tried to pursue it.

its my white unicorn for drugs at the moment. i dont know if i will back myself to just try it once and get away from it hahah.

Is this a serious question? Just kidding.

Dude, people will do anything to escape the pain of reality even if it means running headfirst into worse pain.

Meaning, if there's shit that'll fuck you up temporarily and your life is shit and you don't know what biology is or how it's spelled... you might get addicted to something like meth, for instance.

You could get 10x puffs from what's packed in that bowl. Also you're right about that weed and meth mix it's bs.

The local cops tried to say gangs were putting meth crystals in bags of weed and selling it to teens so they'd get hooked and then when they came back for more weed they'd offer them some meth.

The things people will believe.
