Smoking - Hitting the Bubble...

[Abuse]

Alright so Swim has snorted meth once about two months ago(only .15) and cannot stop having dreams about it. the good, fun dreams tho . anyways Swim is getting a fairly decent sized bag(.5) next week when he gets paid and has decided to try smoking some.

for Swims experienced in this area i have just a few short questions:
1) how will Swim know he's had enough?(he doesn't want to smoke the whole bag! but he also wants the full experience he hears so much about)

2) how can Swim protect his teeth? (swim thought about brushing his teeth often and using mouthwash periodically, as well as drinking only water)

swim just wants to do his homework before he does this. he hears this shit aint no joke LOL

thanx

As smoking would be a faster method of absorbtion, swim would reccommend 10-20 mg to start.

A normal brushing routine should be sufficient.

Hydration is very important with any use of stimulants.

Ok.. My first post.. EVER!! So, 1st thing make sure its pure (no-cut), In the industry swim calls it "clean dope".. You can "wash" it with acetone.. Put it in a coffee filter and rinse.. What you have left in the filter will be washed.. 2nd, load your "bubble" (as its called in the industry).. Swim puts no less than 0.15.. Now Melt, gradually!! If you're turning the bubble black, you're holding the fire TOO CLOSE!! If you're using a lightbulb or tinfoil, graduate!! Now here's the important part.. IT IS NOT THE HEAT THAT MAKES IT SMOKE.. Getting it hot and then ROLLING it to the cool part of the bubble does!! AND, its not actually smoke, its vapor.. Look up "freebase" in the dictionary.. INHALE ONE BIG STEADY DRAW.. You aint gonna know how big of a hit you got till you exhale.. Then if you're eyeballs feel like they're starting to rattle in your head, then you've had enough, set the bubble down and get busy

It pretty much tells you everything.

I hear if one brushes one's teeth immediatly after smoking, one's teeth may suffer. This may or may not be a rumor. Maybe brush one's teeth a half hour after smoking. Who knows? One does not try to start stupid rumors.

~The people you see in "FACES OF METH" are ones that have totally lost touch.. Constantly ask yourself are you controlling it or is it controlling you?? Total disregard for personal hygiene is shamefull, its one of the few things thats keeps us in touch with our human nature.. Dont ever be afraid to brush your teeth or bathe.. If someone gives you shit over it, encourage them to follow your example.. Lets ALL at least brush our teeth so the person youre engaging in conversation does not have to smell your foul fucking breath.. being addicted does not mean sub-human. we can have manners, pride, couth, decency, kindness.. Shit if people are looking at "FACES OF METH" to see what an addict looks like, hell, at least they aint looking at me!! FEEL ME???????

Swim doesn't believe this is a rumor. He's skimmed some dental sites which discussed "meth-mouth" and they mentioned that the primary cause is the reduced saliva flow failed to wash away the acid produced by the bacteria that live in your mouth. The acid temporarily softens the enamel making it more likely to be scrubbed away when you brush (minuscule amounts, but it will add up with prolonged use). Swim has even read that one shouldn't brush right after drinking OJ for the same reason. If you're concerned about your teeth, avoid drinking sugary drinks (sugar feeds the bacteria) or even diet soda (phosphoric acid) and swish your mouth with some water to rinse away the acid before you brush.

Great advice. SWIM told others to rinse with water before brushing. SWIM SIWM SWIM!

Swim's preferred method of ingesting is to smoke. Swim has tried snorting, hot-rails, eating....don't want to mess with needles so smoking is the way to go for swim. And for all the people who swear by tin foil or lightbulbs, swim likes the store-bought bubble or glass cigar tube with a little mapp-torch adjustment to shape the glass and add a hole .

In 3 years of moderate use, Swim has been to quite a few people's houses & met quite a few fellow tweakers....Swim's previous career involved constant travel so she met people all over the US. It would be safe to say Swim has met at least 50 fellow users, and swim can count the "toothless, skinny, Faces of Meth" lookin' people she's met on ONE HAND. In swim's opinion they are the extreme cases, not the "average" user.

This is not to say that meth won't take a toll on a person's body- it *will*. It's a hard drug, and it's bad for you. But if you keep up with your hygiene and make it a point to brush, bathe and EAT healthy foods regularly whether you are hungry or not....AND put the pipe down & sleep when you've been up more than 24-48 hours, you won't look like a Montana Meth billboard.

Swim recently went through a bag of excellent quality stuff that lasted her 4 and a half months of daily use (probably the longest ever without a break). Swim has actually developed better oral-hygine habits BECAUSE of this....swim used to occasionally forget to floss or brush her teeth on a weekend or at night or something, LOL. Not anymore, Swim has been clean for 2 weeks now & still brushes her teeth like a good girl. Swim never stayed awake more than 30 hours, ate at least one healthy salad every day, and brushed her teeth 2 times a day. She also never drank any kind of sugary beverage and always chewed sugarfree gum while smoking.

Swim lost weight (she NEEDED IT!! Still does, but is doing much better & has stuck with the smaller portions & healthier eating choices out of habit) but otherwise hasn't had any lasting ill-effects from a 4 month 'bender' lol.....just some cravings, but otherwise her energy is better, weight is down and she actually developed better health habits from being on it so long.

Swim hates to make a horrible drug sound like a good thing but for Swim, this time, in some ways it was. LOL. It's all about control, like somebody else said.

So- to summarize? Drink plenty of water or sugar-free drinks.....swim likes Crystal Light, and not just for the pun, LOL. Sip from the drink cup after every hit from the pipe. Chew sugar-free chewing gum while smoking, keeps saliva active & keeps mouth from drying as bad. Brush teeth at least once, preferrably twice a day (try sunrise & sunset). Eat healthy- even if it's just a carrot or an apple, eat something good for you even if you are not hungry. Sleep.

As for knowing when you've smoked enough out of that bubble- SWIY will know. Head will feel "electrified", may have body tingles....its a rush, hard to describe. But SWIY's body should be able to tell the tolerance limit and SWIY will know when to put the pipe down & go tweak on something!!

swiy may waste quite a bit when he first starts smoking. Swim still manages to burn it a bit, but has only had his pipe a short time and no one to show him

[whi7e.ha1o]

Come here, SWIM will show you.

lol swim is getting the hang of it. swim thinks his tourch lighter must have been set a bit high... swim was smoking out of test tubes before he found a place on line that would ship him a pipe! Swim can blow proper clouds now!
