Is meth that bad?

[J. Bernie Cunningham]

Sherdog is the place for those seeking deeper knowledge.

Like, is the earth really flat? And is meth really that bad? Tomorrow, probably a thread asking if 1+1=2, or 1 like Terrence Howard says.

I sucked dick for meth, only there was no meth involved

Lol, well, that's another issue entirely...

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Yes, it's terrible. It turned me and everyone I know into complete pieces of shit. I used to walk around the hood at 10 am, been up for 5 days, with a sledgehammer knocking the walls out of abandoned houses to strip the copper. Stealing power tools and jewelry from family members, selling people fake dope, carrying around guns. Always watching out for CIs. Shit like that. It's the absolute worst. It's worse than crack, trust me, I've been on that too. Thank god i've been clean for over 7 years now.

It's an epidemic in my city, it's EVERYWHERE. There's nothing in this town but dope, STDs, and murder.

That ain't the half of it man, the dope game runs deep.

I'm aware, meth/heroin aren't real popular around here, but my stepsister and her husband are recoveries of meth, they have some wild stories, glad you got off it, you're a pretty solid poster.

At best highly addictive and will quite likely lead to schizophrenia... not too bad.

 

[gspieler]

A few reasons:

Surpresses appetite for long periods
Sleep deprivation
Promotes inability to release "feel-good" neurotransmitters
Decline in cognitive function for complex tasks
Highly addictive
Correlated with violent behavior
Etc

 

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

it doesnt seem to be the drug that is the problem. The problem is the shittiest people are the ones generally attracted to this kind of drug, so it makes the drug look super yuck. I have never done meth, nor will i ever consider it. +1 raised by good parents.

If inability to release "feel-good" is what I think it means, then I agree... but when you finally do it's the absolute greatest

Long term use has been shown to alter your brains ability to release those compounds, eg dopamine, permanently. So unless you plan on getting high the rest of your life, I'd consider avoiding it.

That's absolutely not true at all. I know many good men and women who were taken to a dark place by meth, and who are clean now and upstanding people. Doctors, lawyers, police officers, soccer moms all do meth. Believe me.

 

[Sampsonsimpson]

Well it's a schedule 2 controlled substance. Marijuana is a schedule 1. Therefore no it's not bad, it's not even as bad as marijuana.

Eh like any drug it's as bad as you let it be. I've never done meth only because I've done coke and I heard it's a more hardcore version of that and I don't really enjoy coke. Especially the way it interrupts your sleep which I heard meth is even worse with so I decided I'm good on trying that. I know several people who have done it and there all fine they did it for fun at parties in stuff and that's it.

People who get addicted to it (and almost any other drug) will turn into pieces of shit that much is true. Same with people who get addicted to crack, Xanax, coke, etc.

The thing about drugs is you can either handle doing them for fun and then going back to handling your responsibilities or you can't. Some people can handle doing a lot of drugs recreationaly then they find that one that they get addicted to and that's it there life is ruined. I've seen all of these scenario play out in my life as I grew up hanging out with the drug users in high-school. Some of us made it, 1 guy killed himself after taking holding a CVS pharmacy hostage in Kemah and some of us are barely scrapping by.
