What are you, a fucking narc?

I can't imagine that those "shake and bake" cooks aren't full of shit other than meth.

Obviously it's not as bad as that, but you have your Faces of Meth pictures, which when they involve skin conditions usually are the result of contaminants working their way out through the pores and clogging them up, combined with obsessive scratching. Also of course the generally shitty diet of chronic drug users doesn't help.

Another harmless impurity that occurs in a fair amount of street meth is the dyes from the coating of the pills used as precursors. However, the fact there's enough of that stuff to be visible seems to indicate there's probably other impurities, some of which are certainly acutely toxic.

Huh, it does seem more possible now that I think about it. The chemical structure itself makes it child's play to clean with a simple acetone wash, even at the level of the end-user, so any cook putting out adulterated product would be doing so out of sheer malice and negligence, not incompetence ; but I should probably give trailer-park methcooks less credit. Shenanigans like that wouldn't fly around here but in rural areas where every second cabin is a methlab I guess I could see people giving that little of a shit about their product. I still don't really think the adulterants in meth are all that dangerous or the media would be having a field day showing the consequences. I remember some talk about it maybe causing Huntington's disease but I think that was disproven. In any case, I've never in my life known anybody to even bother using filter when they draw up meth because it's seen as simply unnecessary, and I've known some pretty diligently-responsible meth shooters. Well, responsible enough that at the very least they'd bother to tear the end off a cigarette filter if they thought there was so much as a slight possibility it would make the shot safer.

Why can't they just use adderall or molly or other amphetamines that bored middle-class kids use?

Pharmaceutical amphetamines and meth are almost the exact same; feeling wise. The biggest difference is that with meth, you get addicted to the route of administration as well as the drug.
When you are high, you are preoccupied with "getting the biggest cloud" or getting your shot to register.
As well as when you are using pills, you can't get the same rush repeatedly like you can when you are smoking or snorting it.
I am a little over 6 months clean off meth and I getting clean was the best decision of my life. While I only used for a little over two months; my cognitive functioning is still recovering.

You know, I "get" most drugs. Why someone starts them, or does them to the point of addiction.

Weed, Heroin, Cocaine, Bath Salts, Booze, I get these. I understand why most would do these.

I do not "get" Meth.

It's a drug made from the crap in road flares, several industrial solvents, some over-the-counter drugs, and a host of hazardous chemicals. The manufacture of it generates a number of caustic and poisonous substances, inhaling the fumes of which can be fatal. Just proximity to the manufacturing by-products can induce nightmarish health problems.

I do not understand why someone would do this shit.

It is because meth raises your dopamine levels in your brain to levels you are not even supposed to be able to feel as a human. Sex raises it to 200, heroin and cocaine raise it to 400, where meth raises it to 1,500.
I am a little over 6 months clean and I seriously wish this drug never existed. I am going to have to go the rest of my life knowing that that feeling is achievable and I can't have it without ruining my life.

Your newfound commitment to sobriety is commendable but clearly your mental faculties still need improvement if you're willing to come to a place like this to talk about your prior drug use.

I lurk on Kiwi Farms and have made a couple posts but this was my first time seeing a thread about meth. I know it is just anecdotal evidence so it isn't exactly the most trustworthy of sources but I believe giving first hand accounts is the best way for people to understand exactly why meth is bad for you. Just some subjective experience rather than some DARE scare type tactics that will cause people ignore any information you give them, true or not.

That actually sounds similar to what a friend of mine, who works in rehab work, was telling me about a recovering Krokodil addict she worked with: That the effect hits users so goddamn hard that you no longer possess the ability to give a shit about things like tissue degeneration and localized necrosis.

Yeah. Dopamine is what tells your brain to keep doing the things you need to do to survive, such as eating. When you use something that raises dopamine higher than eating, your brain is tricked into thinking that you need to keep doing that to survive and will put it above eating.

I wanna know if this guy just signed up while high, searched "Meth", and typed something in a drug fueled haze on two separate occasions and then died

They only have two posts and both are in this thread so it’s possible.
