How much meth did you use?
how much meth did you use?
I used meth for 7 years and I never could understand why someone would do that much. I hear people say that used $100.00 in one day and to me that is crazy. that would last me 2 weeks. When I used coke I would do $100.00 in a day but that was coke that's why I started doing meth it would last a long time. Even the last time I used I got a t after 4 days I still had a lot I really am not understanding why you would need that much in a day for what. Is it the way you use or your body because after 7 years you would thank that I would need more.

23+ years and here's where you might end up.
I slammed around .50- .75 per shot. every 5 hours or so .

I've done a gram in one day
I don't know if it is because it wasn't working like it should or if it was because I was just brain damaged.
Either way I am just happy I don't do any today.
Glad I survived to get to this day.

Re: how much meth did you use? When I started, it was about 1/4 gram per day. I was still able to "sleep" (or at least pretend to), go to work, be an activist, and do a lot of mentally demanding things very well.
At my worst, I was using a teener a day. (1.75 grams)
I was utterly incoherent by that point. The only time I felt any clarity was when I was getting that rush. The rest of the time I felt like I was stuck in a giant washing machine, whirling around.
Gross.

Re: how much meth did you use? The more you use, the more "tolerance" your body builds up, thus-more is needed to achieve the high. That's the body's end of it anyhow & no two bodies are the same either. Personal choice and other influencing factors (peers, environment, etc.) probably play in to increased or higher usage rates as well.
6 short months was all, Thank God (and finding KCI). As far as actual amounts, I have no clue as I didn't own scales nor pay for mine-I stole it from my friend who used-sad fact but I also did it for reasons I hoped would scare the pants off him and encourage his quitting to occur sooner than it did. I know the first pipe I used was about 7" long and had a quarter-sized bowl...pretty much I'd use 10 "slivvers" and that lasted for a few weeks with daily hits for 2 months. Then it went to many times a day. Then I got my "baby-bam" pipe--tiny, 4" long, small bowl & hit harder when heated. I doubt I even used more than a pea-sized rock per day in 6 months.
For me, that was too much, period. I still functioned all day and no one knew I used. It has sent me into a full relapse of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromalgia in addition to the dopamine shortage and sleep problems. It makes me nauseous just typing this.

Re: how much meth did you use?
Re: how much meth did you use? I Used on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday all the way through Saturday. I Used when I was already high, I definitely used when i wasn't. I used when I was happy, excited, to celebrate, and to party, I used when I was mad, sad, when my heart was broken, when I got a job and when I lost one, I used when things were going great, and more when it wasn't..... i used first thing in the morning - and late late late late at night - and any time in between. I used inside, I used outside, I used in many a bathroom, including public, I used on Holidays, and birthdays, and any day I could ..... I used and I used.... and I used and then I used some more ........
Until the day came - and all the using had broken me - inside .... when no matter how much dope I put in me - the hole inside me that it used to fill just remained empty - and raw ....... I used until - I finally wanted to be sober MORE then I wanted to use.

Getting addicted to meth trying it once
Getting addicted to meth trying it once
Re: They say you never use Meth just once... I for one used meth for so many years because it brings me clarity of mind. It helps me concentrate. Something I have a very hard time doing without it.
I self medicated. I belive I have adhd and that was one way that I could concentrate on something for longer than 15 seconds.
Then before I knew it, I needed meth to wake up in the morning. If I didn't use I couldn't get out of bed. Never did I realize that it would only take a week of pain and torment to be able to laugh again.
Quiting dope is far from easy... And it's an ongoing battle. But all it takes is the will to do better for yourself. But that is hard to come by when the world feels like it is crashing down on you if you aren't high.
Why can't meth users smile? Because the only thing that tickles their brain is another hit of dope. Nothing else can compare to that next hit.
Real life things like playing with your kids, or going out to a movie are viewed as anoyances to a user. They are viewed as just another thing that's gettin in their way and delaying their next hit.

Funny how it seems that the addicts say they feel, act, funciton, better while on meth; my
kid included.
So what is it with this stuff that some try it and DON'T LIKE the high?

How A Meth Addict Thinks And Feels
My respect for Meth and the potential it carries is incomprehensible. This addiction is unlike anything imaginable and must be distinguished from the addictions of other drugs. The way that this addiction can overpower someone, hidden without any warnings or signs while engulfing them with its rapid triumph is indescribable. It happened to me and was unlike anything I've ever dreamed of. It does this in a way where the victim is unaware of and has no defense capability whatsoever. By filling you pride, well-being, happiness, determination, and a huge self-esteem that the person is willing to protect by all means more than ever before. Mainly this is what meth has attacked you with. While you are feeling better then ever before, not realizing that you actually falling, and in a sense becoming a different person, with a different personality, a whole new character, while the true you is still present, but being locked up behind a barrier that prevents any and all of your former morals, personalities, and beliefs from playing any roles within this new person. Like a glass wall leaving you at times able to see thru and sometimes feel from what you used to be, but never able to penetrate. It's when you have your first experience with the feelings of your former self, which rarely happens, and for some, may never happen, that you first realize you are addicted. By that time, my friends, it is too late! Since whatever you may have experienced is so brief and is quickly attacked and taken down by your new character's protected self-esteem in a fast, unnoticeable, and happily acceptable way, you are left with something that you have already forgotten. Soon after it all becomes just another example of how extremely well your new personality can protect itself from any threats to the truth, the fact that you are under control of this power called crystal.
All advice, care, suggestions, or observations from other people will be denied and angrily refused because of this entirely different person that you have became and are totally unaware of. This is why people that are actively using the drug are more or less helpless,
they are a robot being controlled by crystal and they hold a shield that will prevent any person from coming close to them and that keeps outside help far away since the person
filled with false security and are 200% convinced that nothing at all is wrong.
The reason for this is not a simple one because it has many tricks up it's sleeve.
The first one (which it does right from the get go) is making you feel like it has improved you and your whole life immensely. It has you believing that you are a much better person than you were before taking it. It makes you feel happy and you enjoy doing everything, and life is grand. For some people, it takes a little longer to be convinced and then others won't be convinced at all - but not many.
Trick number two will be convincing you that you don't need anyone or anything else but it. Nothing is more important than it. It will very quietly sneak up behind you and start manipulating situations so you start spending more and more time doing things for it. At the same time, without you realizing what's happening, it starts to alienate you from your friends and family. There is no room for them in your new and improved life nor do you have the time to really worry about it. You'll be so preoccupied and detached from your feelings that you'll even be somewhat glad that everyone you know is staying away from you. At least you won't have to deal with them for awhile.
