I did this junk 25 or more years ago and it was just a party drug back then. We called it, ‘extend a buzz’. We would use it to stay up and not pass out drunk. I don’t remember much about it other then it kept me awake. Now I’m horrified to read what it’s made from. I never took it after age 20.

It’s bad stuff that ages people horribly and rots their teeth. Anyone seen a pic of Meth Mouth? :eek:

A friend of mine told me that he had done meth and I asked him what it was like. He looked away and into space as he composed his thoughts. He then said “Take the best feeling you’ve ever had in your life and multiply it by about 20. You can’t even begin to imagine it if you’ve never experienced it.”

The expression on his his face told me that he was absolutely right.

Yes, it’s that good.

I took it once, under conditions that would be hard to replicate I might add, realized that this was something I had better stay away from because I could easily get addicted, and then I missed it and craved it for ten years.

Although people have told me that it’s always best the first time and you never really get back there. (And I’m thinking, “Maybe after 10 years?”)

Seems if I wait a few weeks it is as good as the first time if the dose is right.
