Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine acts as a stimulant and an aphrodisiac while producing an addictive euphoria. An estimated ¾ million individuals used methamphetamine this week with suggestions that 6.5% of individuals over age 26 have experimented with the drug.
Over the past several decades the strength of methamphetamine quadrupled with crystal methamphetamine now more than 80% pure. Methamphetamine far surpasses cocaine in potency, duration of action, stimulant effects and ease of access. In the 1960s through 1980s, small meth labs churned out relatively weak product with plentiful impurities. The situation dramatically changed in the 1990s.
Methamphetamine provides a rush of dopamine with no natural equivalent. It may be injected or smoked for more rapid results or alternatively snorted or swallowed. Each method results in a different experience. Methamphetamine may be combined with an opioid, fentanyl or heroin to provide a more mellow experience.
Geographically methamphetamine use appears concentrated in the west and Midwest. As fear of death from unintentional fentanyl overdose increases and regulatory authorities enforce restrictions on opioids, methamphetamine use flourishes.
Effects of methamphetamine include euphoria and increased mood, wakefulness, physical activity and talkativeness. Unfortunately it negatively influences judgment and decision making. Consequences relate to unprotected sex, lack of dental hygiene and infectious diseases ranging from local abscesses and cellulitis to hepatitis and endocarditis.
No specific therapy is available to assist those who wish to discontinue their habit. Whether expensive treatment or addiction centers offer any specific advantages remains unknown.

    I am in recovery from drug addiction. The drug being discussed almost killed me. Recovery may take years and you may not get everything back. Paranoia feels very real. It’s the worst. It’s a great way to die of a heart attack or a brain hemorrhage. It’s really dangerous when people mix opioids with stimulants. Opioids are getting mixed in with stimulants more and more often. In the drug game, a dealer doesn’t care if you live or die. In fact, if they feel you have slighted or crossed them? They have no qualms about giving you garbage or lacing things to prove how powerful they are. True story. A commitment to physical fitness (began with just taking a walk everyday) and NA meetings saved my life. NA isn’t a perfect program but it does help with isolation. Isolation is what usually kills addicts. Hospitals, nurses, doctors, paramedics, EMT’s, etc do not like helping addicts that present for treatment…..even in a crisis. Again, true story…..been there more than once. This alone is a great reason to stay clean and sober. We do recover.

    I live in independence missouri, it is a place saturated with this drug. I used it from age 13 to 16 with use escalating from once a month to 2-3 times weekly at the end. I managed to get clean eventually, there is no other drug like it (besides aderall which is practically identical). It is a rush you won't forget and the effects on ones life are apparent quickly. It is destructive beyond anything else ive ever encountered, don't ever try it. Amphetamines in general are bad news. It isn't super deadly but the effects on the brain and body are very present.

    This is my opinion. Adderall is very similar in effects. I was prescribed to adderall for years, had a very positive effect in low doses. I discontinued use following 3 years of black mold exposure as it seemed to exacerbate the symptoms, and because I believe 20mg was too high a dose, I should have stuck with 10mg. 7 years later, after a long run of healthy eating (only thing that seemed to help, doctors only knew how to prescribe steroids and antibiotics) and finally symptom free, I'm considering attempting to restart my prescription at the 10mg dose. The issue with most drugs is, like you said, is the personality type and the dosing. Having tried speed myself, I'll say it would almost be impossible to dose with reasonable efficacy, the effects are too long-term and a single line is essentially an overdose. Like everything, the difference between medicine and poison is the dose.

On that binge I didn't "sleep" per say but there were times when it was like my brain would just shut off for a second or two, nodding if you will. In order to go long durations like that I maintained a heavy vitamin regiment. Daily multivitamin, vitamin d, c, niacin, l-lysene, potassium, magnesium, and sometimes flax seed oil. I also made sure to eat a regular meal at least twice a day. Wouldn't recommend it. Never lost my teeth but they would get loose after a binge, coming down was pure misery, and let me tell you shadow people are pretty freaky.

    You sir probably have undermethylation issues. Try taking methylfolate as metafolin or other derivatives and methylcobalamin. Which is basically b9 and b12 vitamins. Also incorporate the other b vitamins. Also take niacin as nicotinic acid which is b3 50mg in case your methylation goes too high to bring it back down as niacin removes excess methyl from blood (when you start experiencing anxiety). I know this must all be confusing but look into it and shortly you will realise you most likely have undermethylation issues. 22% of the population has it. 8% has overmethylation which is what I have and right now I am dealing with extremely elevated serotonin and dopamine levels to the point where I can't even drink coffee because I get serotonin syndrome. Look up methylation man. Get your bloods done. Although it's not always accurate. And most importantly. Don't give up. Buy the book called Nutrient Power by Walsh Institute as well.

    It was relatively recently found to come from a very obscure African mimosa tree (edit: not mimosa. It’s acacia rigidula and berlandieri) in such small amounts that you'd have to cut down an entire forest to get a single dose. The tree is so uncommon that you'd never find a forest of them in the first place. So technically it comes from nature. But I would be shocked if a single person in America has ever consumed it from a natural source. It's that rare in nature.

    Ok so I'll be the guy who keeps it 💯 here. Meth doesn't directly come from a plant (other than the plant mentioned I've never heard of a natural source) that being said there are several plants that contain ephedrine, psudoephedrine, and norephedrine which is the main precursor in methamphetamine production. I will not disclose which plants they are, how to extract the precursors or how to reduce said precursors into meth but anyone with a working understanding of botony and organic chemistry could produce it without significant difficulty It's a sad thing really as it's one of the most destructive drugs both physically and psychologicaly and for over 100 years has left a trail of death and destruction in its wake.
