It raises the dopamine level in high uses in some in dividuals, leading to schizophrenic symptoms. My 18 year old cousin died from an OD of meth, and Oxycontin. I've also witness my uncle shooting meth in his hand because his veins are collapsed in his arms. He would pace around my grandma's house, whining like a little kid because of the pain of with drawl. I'd stay away from meth. It ruins peoples lives. There is a reason it is illegal. Dr. Morel shot up Hitler with a "vitamin " that was nothing but Red and Black meth. That could explain his erratic decisions, like invading Russia.

I used to work with a guy who was addicted to meth for two months. He was staying with a friend of his whose mother sold it, they would wake up in the morning, do a gram of meth (1.5 grams is enough to kill you), and spend the rest of the day strung out. Later, he quit the stuff cold turkey and spent 72 hours in bed, shaking, sweating, convulsing, vomiting, etc. He's been clean ever since.

At first its great, catching highs just like that first one, then you start feeling like there are bugs crawling in your skin. You start pulling at your hair and your teeth start to rott. Sounds great, dont it.

One of my old roommates was addicted to meth.... he went on a splurge and stayed up for 32 days. he started seeing clans of smurfs (blue, red, black, purple, green) the smurfs told him he needed to steal a car and start it on fire or else they would kill him.... well needless to say he stole a brand new esclade (still had the transit stickers on it) from his neighborhood and took it out to a field. him and his recorded the whole thing (by the smurfs orders) and blew the car up..... they got caught.... when he lived with me we smoked a lot of pot and got into other things as well, but to my knowledge we wasnt smoking meth when he was in my house except for a few times we all did it ( I know it was very stupid) eventually i got out of there and abandoned all that. to my knowledge i believe he has since goten back into the meth scene.... once you start it, you never really stop wanting to do it!.... drugs are bad, very bad. and they turn you into a different person.

Rather than tell you my story....this poem I came across sums it up. My Name Is Meth I destroy homes, I tear families apart, I take your children, and that’s just the start. I’m more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold, The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold, If you need me, remember I’m easily found, I live all around you- in schools and in town, I live with the rich, I live with the poor, I live down the street, and maybe next door. I’m made in a lab, but not like you think, I could have been made under the kitchen sink. In your childs closet, and even in the woods. If this scares you to death.. well it certainly should. I have many names but there’s one you know best, I’m sure you’ve heard of me, my name is crystal meth. My power is awesome, try me you’ll see, But if you do, you may never break free. Just try me once and I might let you go, But try me twice, I’ll own your soul. When I possess you, you’ll steal and you’ll lie, You do what you have to- just to get high. The crimes you’ll commit for my narcotic charms will be worth the pleasure you’ll feel in your arms. You’ll lie to your mother, you’ll steal from your dad, when you see their tears, you should feel sad. But you’ll forget your morals, and how you were raised. I’ll be your conscience, I’ll teach you my ways. I take kids from parents, and parents from kids, I turn people from God, and separate friends. I’ll take everything from you, your looks and your pride, I’ll be with you always, right by your side. You’ll give up everything, your family, your home, your friends, your money, then you’ll be alone. I’ll take and take, till you have nothing more to give, When I’m finished with you, you’ll be lucky to live. If you try me be warned, this is no game. If given the chance, I’ll drive you insane. I’ll ravish your body, I’ll control your mind, I’ll own you completely, your soul will be mine. The nightmares I’ll give you while lying in bed, The voices you’ll hear, from inside your head. The sweats, the shakes, the visions you’ll see, I want you to know, these are all gifts from me. But then it’s too late, and you’ll know in your heart, That you are mine, and we shall not part. You’ll regret that you tried me, they always do, But you came to me, not I to you. You knew this would happen, many times you were told, But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold. You could have said no, and just walked away, If you could live that day over, now what would you say? I’ll be your master, you will be my slave, I’ll even go with you. When you go to your grave. Now that you have met me, what will you do? Will you try me or not? It’s all up to you. I can bring you more misery than words can tell, Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell.

This is a previous post of mine: When you are getting high, then you feel energetic, euphoric, and very excited about everything. When you start to come down after 2-20 hours (depending on dose and quality) you can begin to feel anxious, tense and uncomfortable and really want to get back to where you were at by getting high again. If you are actually addicted, and you don't have any when you wake up the next day, you feel very tired. Everyday gets worse after that until about day 10 then it starts to get better. After 3 weeks you are still tired but resume a more regular sleep cycle. When you are addicted and don't have any meth, you are awake for 10 hours a day and sleep for about 14, or more, depending on how lazy you are. You can sleep up to 23 hours a day (can be common) usually after the first day (starting the second day) of having none. I remember (back when I used to use) When I first realized that I was physically dependant on meth when after I woke up one day and started walking around and my body felt about 25% heavier than it normally did. When you don't have meth you are very irritable, anxious (especially if you are thinking about getting high), very tired, and generally uncomfortable and irritated. When you do have meth, you can stay up many days in a row if you continue to use it. The longest I've stayed up is an actual 10 straight days, at the end of which I was in a dreamlike state and speaking incoherently. It is possible to become very paranoid and delusional especially if you are prone to that type of behavior and it is normal to end up living in a trailer without power or water and to become a collector of junk that is viewed as treasure. END Here's a really funny story (and true by the way, I would never make up a story) that happened while I was on meth: My friend lived in a trailer on the outskirts of town, and it had a big front yard and several driveways. Well it was about 3 in the morning and we pulled up in the side driveway in a minivan (4 of us in it) and we pulled up directly behind this guys ford explorer. We had our lights on and they were bright too, and we happened to pull up right to the back of this explorer and the guy who owned it had the back door and hatch completely open and was back there in the back of his truck jacking off, totally naked! He started to pull up his underwear as soon as we started rolling up right behind him and we pulled up RIGHT behind his car with our lights blaring right on him. Looking back, all I remember seeing were the bottoms of his feet which were kicking around like he just woke up or something and his package sticking up through his tighty whiteys! It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen! He tried to say that he was just sleeping back there and when he woke up, his pants were gone! HA HA!
