...things that go bump in the night!!!

I put this under "funny shit" because it's funny how the things that people cling to even in death can kill you. Methamphetamine use increases energy and alertness and decreases appetite. An intense rush is felt, almost instantaneously, when a user smokes or injects methamphetamine. Snorting methamphetamine affects the user in approximately 5 minutes, whereas oral ingestion takes about 20 minutes for the user to feel the effects. The intense rush and high felt from methamphetamine results from the release of high levels of dopamine into the section of the brain that controls the feeling of pleasure. The effects of methamphetamine can last up to 12 hours. Side effects include convulsions, dangerously high body temperature, stroke, cardiac arrhythmia, stomach cramps, and shaking.

Chronic use of methamphetamine can result in a tolerance for the drug. Consequently, users may try to intensify the desired effects by taking higher doses of the drug, taking it more frequently, or changing their method of ingestion. Some abusers, while refraining from eating and sleeping, will binge, also known as "run," on methamphetamine. During these binges, users will inject as much as a gram of methamphetamine every 2 to 3 hours over several days until they run out of the drug or are too dazed to continue use.

Chronic methamphetamine abuse can lead to psychotic behavior including intense paranoia, visual and auditory hallucinations, and out-of-control rages that can result in violent episodes. Chronic users at times develop sores on their bodies from scratching at "crank bugs," which describes the common delusion that bugs are crawling under the skin. Long-term use of methamphetamine may result in anxiety, insomnia, and addiction.

After methamphetamine use is stopped, several withdrawal symptoms can occur, including depression, anxiety, fatigue, paranoia, aggression, and an intense craving for the drug. Psychotic symptoms can sometimes persist for months or years after use has ceased.

I got that off a website- it was accurate, for me, except about using a gram intraveneously at one time.


How big would that point have to be?


I say one after the other is safer than the grande el shotto... this site was against drugs, and it's all,"Yeah, some addicts fire up grams every 2-3 hours..." That's how silly sober people are."Here's how you get REAL fucked up, son!" Engaging in this behavior, they say, will make one too dazed to continueusing anymore.Engaging in this behaviorwith even fair dope couldwarrantan ambulance ride-- where I live, I think a gram would just kill a fucker.


Anyone done huge amounts like that before? PM me if youhave real life experiences you want to share on this subject-I am quiet and private.</TD></TR>

manda - haven't seen your posts as much lately.

I just haven't been into it as much lately... I had a really cool friend on here, smart, young, representing f&&ker- and he tapered off. It sucks when a buddy quits. My greatest regret is that I didn't have time to wish Str8 a blessed and happy future. If you're reading this, I hope you do make it in the army-- I was shocked and thrilled to see a younger person, whom I thought was intent on mastering the game, make a life-changing decision like that. And Str8.... If it all falls thru or you change your mind, you've still got your incredibly cool personality-- you can take that shit anywhere. To me, you're the same person, army or pardy. LOVE AND LUCK BRO!!!!! -Manda
