Meth, though, it seems like everyone that does it turns into that guy that's stealing from his mom to get more. Also, it makes people pretty violent, unlike other drugs. I really wish the stuff was just gone from the earth, especially because their are so many cleaner, safe amphetamines out there. With Adderall, it's always the same dose, made safe, etc. It's legit, pharmaceutical grade shit; meth is made by guys in the back of Winnebago's.

Honestly, I'm rather inclined to agree. I enjoyed the times I spent on meth, I still use it occasionally (with great care), but meth as a drug never did anybody any good, and did a lot of people a lot of harm. It's a very shallow, selfish high, and it always promises more than it gives, and takes more than either in return.

Sadly, it's the only real option for stimulants in Aus, amphetamine isn't really available with any real ease, and coke is insanely expensive/cut to all hell. Dexamphetamine/ritalin you can find, but not all that consistantly.

Yeah, it is kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand, you get the good aspect of "Doing X amount wont render me useless for the next 2 days" but on the other hand if you want to get stupid for 2 days, you're going to have to pay for it. I will say that coke is one of those thing where getting good shit is so hard to do and happens so infrequently that you convince yourself that "Oh man a gram will only last me for this long" but the reality is if you had some premo grade shit the same amount would last you 4 times as long as the mediocre shit. One thing that's happening a lot here in Vegas is people cutting the coke with powderized lidocaine because it produces that same lip/nose/tongue numbness associated with high grade coke.

This is pretty much what I hear. That most coke is cut to all hell, and by the time it reaches you it's rarely over 50% purity.

On the other hand, the importers never really seem to bother cutting meth, probably too much effort to convincingly recrystalize it, so what we get is fairly close to pure.

I haven't done X in a year, maybe 2. It's really a social drug, ESPECIALLY a relationship social drug and my girl isn't interested anymore. It doesn't strike me as something I would want to do while playing Halo with a buddy, you know?

Yeah, it's not. I use it pretty much exclusively when partying, I'm a huge trance/hard dance fan, and that whole scene is drowned in ecstasy pills. You go to a club or a festival and 3/4 of the people are on pills, you get offered them all over the place, baggies strewn all over the dancefloor etc.

It's probably something I'll grow out of eventually, but MDMA was my first real drug experience (the token 'tried weed at a party at 15 and didn't feel anything' aside), and it's what introduced me to the whole idea of mind altering substances. I've tried other things, but it always seems to come back to MDMA. Nothing I've felt since matches that feeling of perfection when you're peaking on pills.

Yeah, it's so awesome because like I said, it's not a high feeling. It's like imagine you spent a year working out, eating right, that just perfect body feeling. That's how Oxy makes you feel.

That's kind of what I'd say meth feels like, when you get a really good high going. Of course you're really stimulated, full of energy, but mostly it's just you feel 'perfect', like you're operating at 110%, everything you say or do is the best thing you could say or do in that situation, you feel confident, funny, smart, strong, fast, and top it off with a subtle floating happiness. Just so incredibly 'alive' that by comparison nothing bad really matters. It's not a messy 'omg I'm so fucked up hahahah this is awesome' you get with pills.
