I'm not too sure what it is or what it does to the body. What does it do and what is it? I'm not going to try it, I'm just curious. I'm asking because I saw some of it today and I am wondering what it is and why the people were taking it. Believe me, I'm never going to be trying any drugs.

I did it for 2 years. i never got all bad like...where you see in pictures. however i stayed up for litterally 7-8 days at a time. only ate when i felt like it, which was rare. and i always felt all speedy...and good, and personable (im a pretty shy person sometimes). i always have been around 130ish....i was down to 115 in a month and stayed like that. eventually i quit because i met a guy that didn't approve. it screwed up my metabloism something awful....like i said 130ish...when i stopped i blew up. i'm currently around 170. i've also noticed that i'll "pook out " when i'm sober. and thats when you imagine things that aren't really going on, bad paranoia (from the drug plus sleep depravation). so since i've stopped, and if i'm alone in my house or even out in public, i'll get paranoid like someone is going to break into my house at any moment, or have real bad anxiety if i even go grocery shopping by myself. i've never had that before. and last but not least, teeth deteration. i had to have a molar pulled, because the drug ate it away. other than that, i have perfect teeth. so my effects were -weight loss, then extreme gain after quiting -tooth pulled from decay -extreme anxiety when alone in public places -paranoia when alone in private sometimes

Visible Signs: Meth abuse causes the destruction of tissues and blood vessels, inhibiting the body's ability to repair itself. Acne appears, sores take longer to heal, and the skin loses its luster and elasticity, making the user appear years, even decades older. Poor diet, tooth grinding and oral hygiene results in tooth decay and loss. "Meth mouth " is characterized by broken, discolored and rotting teeth. The drug causes the salivary glands to dry out, which allows the mouth's acids to eat away at the tooth enamel, causing cavities. Teeth are further damaged when users obsessively grind their teeth, binge on sugary food and drinks, and neglect to brush or floss for long periods of time. Effects on the brain and body: Meth releases a surge of dopamine, causing an intense rush of pleasure or prolonged sense of euphoria. Over time, meth destroys dopamine receptors, making it impossible to feel pleasure. Although these pleasure centers can heal over time, research suggests that damage to users' cognitive abilities may be permanent. Chronic abuse can lead to psychotic behavior, including paranoia, insomnia, anxiety, extreme aggression, delusions and hallucinations, and even death. Increased heart rate Disorganized lifestyle Lowered resistance to illness Liver damage Convulsions Extreme rise in body temperature, which can cause brain damage Stroke Death

One of the first things I notice even after a person has been clean a while is that their front teeth are rotten. That's a giveaway. When they are using it they can't concentrate, have to stay busy, will pick at themselves until they have sores, are agitated, some people lose a lot of weight because it is an amphetamine. Others have big open nasty sores on their arms. They usually look like crap and aged too much, check out some You Tube videos of before and after and look at the photos, don't need to tell you much more.

The 1st time of any drug is always the best time but in all reality sweety, God made the human body to rest and function. This drug will make time move faster and speed up the brain and heart. Makes you feel like you can work miracles and helps you stay awake for days at a time. fun huh? Sure, it's fun to indulge once or twice but when you need it, just to function in the morning because you are shitting so bad and can't stay awake, then you'll deffenatley know what the side effects are too.
