Main reason for taking meth?

[Kristy]

SWIM has never tried meth, and was wondering what people's main reasons are for taking it? The idea of staying up for 3 days doesnt really appeal to SWIM, so SWIM thinks there more be more to it??

SWIM has heard from some that it is slightly comparable to ectasy, others SWIM knows says it is more like strong speed.

Is a bit a both?

SWIM is curious

Meth causes a great deal of euphoria, which tends to corrospond to the activities/thoughts one is doing/thinking. That's the cause for repeated administration that can result in a 3-day binge. And like other powerful CNS stimulants - this can and will eventually cause the user to wind up in a state of paranoid psychosis (amphetamine psychosis).

Meth is the most euphoric of the amphetamines, according to many accounts.

Meth is an upper similar to coke except two hits can get you through the day, by giving you energy and motivation to be productive, whereas coke you want to constanly be doing it and when you run out it is depressing. You can stay up for days on meth but what swim does is take a couple of bars and maybe some sleeping pills like trazadone or seroquel to get to sleep. It's cool cuz the next day when you wake up you still feel energized, you're not all tired and hung over. But the shit is nasty and bad for you. And repeated use can really fuck up your social skills, your memory, your emotional stability and of course your physical well being.

Swim does it mainly for sexual reasons. Swim used to love the coke for the same reason but it becam harder to get as opposed to this, which does have a longer lasting effect, but swim tends to not ever really know when enough is enoug. Swim will say that the sexual reasons do range from fun with a partner to just stroking while enjoying smut in all of it's glory.

Swim has used meth in the past (Filipino version called Shabu), though he didn't use it for the most common reasons - recreational.

Swim found two main uses for meth that were quite helpful and didn't develop very addictive tendencies.

1. As a study aide. Its like adderall. Just smoke a little bit and go to a class or study and you will be very focused and alert and remember most everything. It makes learning fun! This was very helpful to swim before swim was able to obtain adderall.

2. As a buzzkill. Meth was useful in several emergency situations where swim was high on marijuana or another substance and had a test to go to or some other social event where he couldn't be fucked up so he smoked a little meth and it would instantly kill the high. Swim went from being stoned as hell to stone cold sober in a few puffs, and disaster was averted.

Just like any drug to alter you state of mind, Staying up for 4, 5 days is a trip, plus Swim loves the pain when it goes up the nose thats SWIM's main reason

because it makes you feel happy and gives you confidence.

It gives you the energy and desire to do things like housework that need to be done, all the boring, monotonous tasks that we must do suddenly become fun, interesting, do-able.
It also gets you motivated and helps you concentrate on things that you really enjoy but may have been struggling to find ongoing enthusiasm for.

Conversation is so much more interesting and you find it easier to put all your thoughts into words that others can understand or realise.

You don't get bored ever, there is always something that will capture your interest, you take it all in, whether by listening, studying or messing around with something until you figure it out yourself, you will be learning and seeking out knowledge on whatever interests you.

Staying up for days on end, not eating, not drinking enough water etc is usually the cause for the negative effects of meth. Sleep deprivation alone can lead to irrational behaviour, so if you add to that all the effects from not eating - sometimes a total lack of all the vitamins, minerals etc that your mind and body require to function, then things aren't going to be pretty.

Making sure you sleep at least a few hours every night (or at least lie down and rest for a few hours) and get a good night sleep at least every second night. Drink heaps of water, take lots of vitamin and mineral supplements and eat something even if you don't feel hungry.

Swim can see why most people have a negative opinion of meth, because there can be severe negative outcomes to ones use, and the media embellishes this to no end. But like most drugs, people wouldn't be taking them if they didn't make you feel great, if they didn't have positive, pleasurable effects.

So it gives you greater euphoria than coke and last longer?

SWIM likes it to go out dancing, just sooo much fun, then followed by a night of marathon sex.
Also, SWIM will do it with an imaginary friend at home and do things around the house, why is it just so much fun......cleanning an oven....etc ....
But then of course when enough time has gone by, SWIM will be logical and rest the body, and tell SWIM imaginary friend to do the same.....
.....and a sleeping pill usually does the trick.....and like it is true, SWIM will wake up feeling totally refreshed ......

SWIM took meth only once, and didn't like it... but he basically OD'd, which probably wasn't a good introduction. Spent a good deal of time cowering in the corner of a bus shelter, terrified of the sound of traffic going by and too paranoid to walk home. Not his idea of a good time . He likes coke much better, primarily because its short-acting nature can be a good thing. Also, in his opinion it's the most pro-sexual drug and for some people (including SWIM) qualifies as a genuine and powerful aphrodisiac. And finally, SWIM feels the whole ritual of chopping/lining and snorting is very enjoyable and satisfying (can be done with meth too, but not as much/often).
