Stop saying "meth!" It is stupid!

From my many years on “the street” I’ve learned that marijuana (or “mary jane” as the kids around here call it) can cause euphoria of exactly this type. Are you sure you’re not taking marijuana? Did you eat any brownies that tasted unusual? They can bake it into brownies now.

LOL.

I’ve got this mental picture of two toothless, pock-marked addicts slumped on a filthy mattress in an abandoned building. One says “Man, that meth fucked me up yesterday!”

The other replies “Actually, that substance can’t properly be called ‘meth’ because the precursors required for methamphetamine production, namely P2P or ephedrine, are nearly impossible to obtain.”

And then the first junkie stabs him.

Sorry, but I just got this. Getting old sucks. :slight_smile:

It’s the meth. It methes with your brain.

Your OP is my cite.

You forgot the Irish. I mean, besides the rednecks, hillbillies and trailer trash. There’s like one or two other kinds, I can’t remember them all.

Dearest OP,

You are full of it. While illicit drugs have nicknames that vary by region, country, individual. Etc. You can buy Meth by asking for it as Meth. I live in the dark underbelly of the World(Music Business), and get all kinds of requests, including for “Meth”, but most often the request is for “Crystal”.

Aside, I used to work at a venue that was in sight of a “massage parlor”, invariably it was the touring LD(lighting) who asked " happy ending?"

Aside 2, I used to have a GF that was a dealer of many different substances but her main deal was Meth, she was a shooter(hey I was a dumb 20 something). I was at her house one day and some clients came over, now see I am a very thickly veined guy, I walk into the living room and immediately understand that I am an object of lust. Two guys and two gals staring me down and salivating. It takes me a bit to realize that they are lusting after my veins as theirs are collapsed. I had no more truck with heavy dope soon after that.

Don’t be silly, we can also do it to kiddie diddlers, rapists and Michigan fans. :smiley:

I’m surprised no one has brought up “Tina” yet.

Huh? You (the collective, tweaker You) put foul, poisonous shit in your own lungs and/or veins with full knowledge that it’s probably going to make you unpleasant, irrational, more likely to steal, destroy property, annoy others with grand ideas and grow irreversibly ugly in short order and you’re a victim 'cause we refer to it in shorthand? Touchy, touchy.

I guess marijuana aficionados are just too damned chill and charming to get worked up over “pot”, “weed” and “bud”. That’s why they’re my favorite illicit substance users. Tweakers take a lesson.

This post would have been just that much better if you had referred to it as “the marijuana”.

Are you sure you’re not taking the marijuana?

That last one cracked me the fuck up. ‘If I had your veins, I coulda been a junkie. Instead I had to do something with my life. [frownie face]’

Does anybody ever ask for ‘ice’ - what used to be the name for the smokable variety?

And the Dutch - if they even exist.

I’m pretty sure the accepted term is on the drugs.

I thought it was “smoking dope.”

Fools! It’s “toking reefer”.

That moment was a very good motivator to clean up my act.

I can’t remember anyone asking for “Ice” but I suspect that by the time you have gotten there, you aren’t touring anymore. AIUI that stuff is really bad.

IME most touring musicians are relatively clean these days, you don’t see many heavy dopers these days, some but not many. If they are coming direct from a show in NOLA, they will be late and hungover, guaranteed.

Exhibit #1

The Dutch are a myth concocted by the elite families of Europe to justify the construction of an airport below sea level.

I mean, windmills? Who buys that shit?

I’ll say ‘meh’ if I want to. I don’t care if it’s stupid.

What?
Oh.
