So what are the withdrawal symptoms? Feel depressed, out of place? Do you have physical stigmas like shaking bad, cannot speak properly?

It is deadly depends on what country you are in.

Here Meth can really kill you even if you don't even use it.

It gives you energy and helps you lose weight, all for a low cost When compared to what big pharma can offer

I grew up in El Cajon, CA - which had a big Hells Angel (Dago Mob) contingent, who were heavily into cooking the stuff and spreading the epidemic - in fact, it was often said that El Cajon was the meth capital of the world in the 80's.

While I've never personally done it, I can say that I had a lot of friends who were tweekers. The problem with meth is that it induces psychosis, especially with people staying up for days on end - while Heroin users usually will commit crimes to get their fix, after they get it, they are usually peaceful and just nod off. Meth however can turn people insanely paranoid and violent.

Both meth and H can be incredibly destructive, but the way I look at it, is if both were legalized, H users would all just be passed out somewhere, while meth users would be the worst of the worst violent criminals, not because of their actions to obtain the drug, but from the drug's effects itself.

I guess like with anything, moderation is the key. A good buddy of mine used meth when he was a teen, and became an incredible guitarist in a very short period of time - staying up all night, practicing, etc. But he was able to take it or leave it, and quit after a year.

Hmm...enhanced learning eh?

Did it recreational when I was younger. Never got bad as I like sleep too much. That and fuck the shadow people

It was originally synthesized in a lab. Smart people figured out how to derive it from household products.

I would say ore desperate if they're using a bunch of adulterated house house items instead of pure chemicals meant for human consumption.

I know I could distill mouthwash to make an alcoholic beverage, but it's not a good idea. And that's something manufactured to be safe enough to put in your mouth every day.

I've done meth and h (not together) and for me meth was worse. But I was into uppers..and I didn't like anything you couldn't fuck on.

It takes a chemist. It wasn't some redneck that mixed some random shit together and magically created dope.

Depends. Any redneck can read process descriptions in some anarchist cookbook type book and scan household products for common items like caustic and muriatic acid.

Obviously whoever synthesized meth in the first place was a good synthesis person, but when you start getting into trickle down chemistry with low purity and yields, I don't necessarily look at someone using a Diet Dew bottle as a shake flask and think, "wow, what an innovator!"

I mean whoever originally figured out the process in the first place. I've cooked dope before, you'd have to know what you were doing to come up with that shit.

Any sherbros from a part of the country where there is a meth problem, fill me in on what is so bad about it. Is it as bad as people say?? I am from chicago and we dont have meth here so im really cuious to heasome stories. The major problem here is heroin. We've got people here who shoot up and nod off with the kid in the car, not to mention the scores of people who just die as teenages after trying it a few times, and the many who are strung out somewhere on the west side and might as well be dead. I can't imagine an upper being worse than that. Full disclosure: i've done metric tons of cocaine in my life. I'v tried crack once or twice, and didnt think it was that big of a deal. But never, ever, done heroin because of all the destruction i saw as a young kid.

So whats the deal with meth?? As bad as they say, or overblown?

Yes, it is as bad as they say. This doesn't even begin to scratch the surface:

It's just such a quick trip down hill. I had a buddy that smoked weed since high school. He did Cocaine on occassion. He experimented with other drugs, but he always functioned in society fine. I was there the first time he tried meth. Within maybe 3 months he had lost soooo much weight, his long term GF left him, he lost his job, and his personality had completely changed and he just seemed erratic and crazy.

He ended up in prison for like a year. I forget why, though I'm sure it was drug related. I just started contact with him again now maybe a decade later. He is the guy I remember now. He says prison saved him because he would have just kept going until he died and he knew he was killing himself but couldn't stop.

 

[mrln242]

Yes, I live in AZ. Yes, it is that bad.

I see a lot of people bad-mouthing meth in this thread. I just want to go on record a saying Meth is fun. it's incredibly enjoyable. I like getting high I say once or twice a year. You never had such a good time as you do on meth. People just get addicted to that high all the time. However it's all in moderation hell occasionally I'll drink coffee and that's fun but you won't see me drink that stuff more than 2 maybe 4 times a year. Addicted to legal or illegal drugs is a negative to me. Life is good.
