#people smoking meth

[anotherpapercut]

genuinely so many of you want to be leftist and "punk" and countercultural soooooo bad but you refuse to become comfortable with the concept of people taking drugs for fun because they like it and not because they were somehow tricked or forced into it without knowing what they were getting themselves into

you'll be like "addiction is a disease!!" but think you're better than those degenerate stoners because you only drink energy drinks and white claws and would never touch "illegal drugs"

many if not most drugs CAN be consumed completely safely with almost 0 risk to the user and even if that werent true and all drugs were extremely dangerous you still wouldn't be better than those of us who love doing drugs recreationally

lighten up and grow up. get offline, talk to real adults, and stop being shocked to discover that they enjoy doing stuff that adults do like have sex and do drugs and even listen to rock and roll

#put punk in parantheses bc yall are hardcore straight edge at best lmao #goes to a punk show in someones basement and gasps when i see people snorting coke off each other in the corner #anyway heres your regular reminder from your friendly neighborhood drug addict that drugs can be and often are consumed safely #LSD‚ MDMA‚ psilocybin‚ cannabis of course‚ ketamine‚ coke‚ whippets. these are all drugs that i personally have used #and that are completely safe when used correctly and by someone who doesn't have some sort of allergy #even if someone is on a dangerous drug like meth or heroin you are not better than them #in fact theyre probably a lot chiller than your ass if youre still viewing drugs as a thing for 'degenerates' to do #literally can not hang out with non druggies anymore bc they cannot stop themselves from moralizing it #i mention that my vape has thc in it and i get That Look and a bunch of 'i would never smoke weed. i mean its fine. i just would NEVER' #i get it! you view drugs as a thing thats only for poor people or people who dont care about themselves or whatever #i call that the go ask alice effect. people will think you smoked weed then immediately had sex got pregnant and died of a heroin overdose #even when they think theyre being super progressive

sorry for being a cunt here but when my posts about using like. leave my circle of mutuals and start getting reblogged by sheltered ass non-addicts being like HAHA THIS IS CRAZY 🤪 THIS IS SO INSANE i kinda just like. roll my eyes into oblivion cause i think they dont realize that op is a user and like im not... kidding about these things lmao, this is my real life. its not a quirky punchline. idk it just annoys me that these people dont realize addicts are regular people, theyve probably met one and they didnt even realize cause theyve got this idea of what an addict is in their head and its some boogie man-esque caricature not like. the guy that just sold you a monster energy at circle k

#not even offended or anything like its just Annoying #that meth bible post has like 4k notes now and people are like HAHA WHAT A FUNNY JOKE like. #its not a joke bruh. people really smoke meth lmao.

drug recs for a first time drug doer? I've drunk alcohol obviously but never done anything harder.

Other than booze which I love, Rhino Horn is definitely my favorite. Helps me get shit done but is also fun. But it's not like that for everybody. Eddie basically only does it when he's in a mood and Mary doesn't fuck with it at all, she's more of a stoner than a tweaker. Weeds fun every once in a while. I don't really like opium because you just sit around and nod off. You feel really happy but you don't do much and I like to be doing shit. Can't have a coconut war on opium, and it's a bit of a waste of medical supplies anyway. I basically only do it if there's nothing else on the boat. Mushrooms are great for an afternoon, kinda like weed in that it's for a special occasion where you want to sit around and giggle at stupid shit. You know if you mix mushrooms with lemon juice it dissolves em a little bit and it doesn't last as long but it hits you way harder.

#drugs #that lemon thing is real its called lemon teching #ooc: anyway im about to drop the real shit on you anon #first of all dont do meth. especially if you have adhd. the high to side effects ratio is completely not worth it #coke can be fun but not worth the price tag. doing someone else's coke is great #now all drugs have personalities but uppers and downers are like regular people and hallucinogens are like mythical creatures #mushrooms are a satyr of some kind casting spells to seduce your brain #and lsd is a lovecraftian monstrosity (affectionate) #the big thing with hallucinogens is you have to not be afraid of them or the trip will go bad #self fulfilling prophecy type shit #ideally you should also go in pretty secure in your sense of self because they will fuck with you #that said its a life changing experience i love it so much #ghb is good but watch out if you go overboard you will fall asleep and the night will be a bust #also always test and Do Not Inject #you can back out if you smoke it snort it or eat it but injecting it youre done #I know youre not actually interested in drug recommendations and are just giving jack the chance to say insane shit #but i have opinions #misc asks

did today just swoop in to make up for all the pitfalls of the last few weeks because it’s like my entire red list of worries is getting struck out the longer the day goes on!

#ooc #tbd #[ I’ll stop posting ooc for now but… my cousin was losing her housing at the end of the month ] #[ she had no way to pay rent because she can’t work since her stroke ] #[ and she can’t drive since she’s now also hemispherically blind in both eyes ] #[ but as of next month she’ll be sober from everything!!! for year ] #[ she has never achieved this level of sobriety before she always drank or smoked or did something ] #[ she has been meth / marijuana / alcohol / everything free this time and her whole attitude is very different ] #[ she is also haarlep incarnate and she swore off sex for the past year ] #[ she even broke up with her boyfriend when he tried to be weird about her growth ] #[ her teeth got wrecked in her accident/stroke because she was driving and crashed at like 90mph ] #[ and I told her if she stayed sober for a year I would submit her name to orgs to get her teeth fixed and man she’s kicking ass ] #[ she’s on top of it and she called just now to tell me she potentially has new housing NOT in sober living ] #[ she’s not happy about its location but she’s determined to stay sober she’s just done with sober living ] #[ she’s a house captain (!!!) which she’s proud of and doesn’t like having to throw people out ] #[ but she gets triggered too often by them showing up fucked up too ] #[ and she just texted me right now to tell me she signed up for housing stabilization services ] #[ she’s gonna volunteer with the brain injury alliance ] #[ I am so so so proud of her this was such a good year of growth for my cousin ]

FR the drugs that are legal are actually the worst ones. Like what does nicotine do? Lung cancer? because I've had a cigarette before and let me tell ya. I may as well have not had the cigarette. I've gotten higher off of children's flinstones vitamins. It doesn't do anything other than taste gross and make you cough. Where as weed? My best friend my good buddy has never given anyone lung cancer and is very fun to do? a class a for some fucking reason. Legalized in my state but damn it was a class a for an embarrassing amount of time. The fact that weed and psychedelics are illegal and they tried to ban alcohol in the past, but nicotine has never been under scrutiny makes me believe that drug laws in this country are not based on anything other than hating fun. like oh you're the one who gets to stay unconditionally? is it because you're the christian youth camp councilor of substances (tires to look cool, boring, death cult)?

(op does not think that nicotine should be illegal decriminalize substance use)

#drug posting #I smoked because I was like well if people spend so much money on this and its so common despite the health risks #there must be some reason that they keep doing it other than just addiction right? #and there isn't! #there's no benefits or upsides #granted OP gives meth shit for being a boring drug so maybe I'm broken but god damn #absolutely nothing other than a campfire in my sinuses

If anyone wants to know how my day at work was, I had to carry a box of literal human shit to the dumpster in the rain. I hate retail so fucking much.

#personal #I hate my job so fucking much #I have to remind myself it could be worse #my sister works for the same company and their store has an issue of people smoking meth in their bathroom

[automaticallydelicious]

this shit is crazy. the way time flies. i spent 3 years high as fuck on meth, never thought of a life with out it. now i'm a drunk, but it's been over a year since i did meth. today it has been exactly 1 year of having a regular job. i love myself. this fucking addict shit is really 1 fucking step at a time. i never liked those aa meetings, because they usually involved god. i may not believe in the "regular" god, but i do believe in the sense of a higher power than us as humans.

*watching Jesse Pinkman scuttle around on all fours violently tweaking and hallucinating* awww my little meth rat 🥰

#when he literally smokes crystal meth and kills people 🥺 #ive started watching breaking bad sequentially instead of solely through clips if you couldn't tell #jesse.thing

[ms-hells-bells]

#we had this synthetic cannibis called kronic that everyone was smoking #but within less than a year it was banned because it was either driving people nuts or killing them #and yeah meth use is INSANE #you will barely find cocaine or heroin here bc nz gangs don't wanna go up against the american cartels #Youtube

I don’t believe in ghosts but if I was walking around an abandoned asylum at the dead of night I would be freaked to shit. I grew up in a small town with a “haunted” house and ppl were often dared to go inside and it was just full of crackheads and raccoons. Like I’m scared of tetanus and rabies more than spirits. Spirits won’t stab you. Crackheads will stab you.

#it’s important to note that this house was next to an abandoned fiberglass factory that was constantly producing smoke #I lived in a meth town #and 90% of the meth users were lovely people #but this was also The South so sneaking into abandoned houses was just breaking and entering and would get you shot

A lot of younger people have no idea what aging actually looks and feels like, and the reasons behind it. That ignorance is so dangerous. If you don’t want to “be old,” you aren’t talking about a number of years. I have patients in their late 80s who could still handily beat me in a race—one couple still runs marathons together, in their late 80s—and I lost someone who was in her early 60s to COPD last year. What you want is not youth, it is health.

If you want to still be able to enjoy doing things in your 60s and 70s and 80s and even 90s, what you want to do, right now, is quit smoking, get some activity on a regular basis (a couple of walks a week is WAY better for you than nothing; increasing from 1 hour a day of cardio to 1.5 will buy you very little), and eat some plants. That’s it. No magic to it. No secret weird tricks. Don’t poison yourself, move around so your body doesn’t forget how, and eat plants.

If you have trouble moving around now because of mobility limitations, bad news: you still need to move around, not because it’s immoral not to, but because that’s still the best advice we have. I highly recommend looking up the Sit and Be Fit series; it is freely available and has exercises that can be done in a chair, which are suitable for people with limited mobility or poor balance. POTS sufferers, I’m looking at you.

If you have trouble eating plants because of dietary issues (they cause gas, etc.) or just because they’re bitter (super taster with texture issues here!), bad news. You still want to find a way to get some plants into your body on a regular basis. I know. It sucks. The only way I can do it is restaurants—they can make salads taste like food. I can also tolerate some bagged salads. On bad weeks, the OCD with contamination focus gets so bad I just can’t. However, canned beans always seem “safe,” and they taste a bit like candy, so they’re a good fallback.

If you smoke and you have tried quitting a million times and you’re just not ready to, bad news. You still need to quit. Your body needs you to try and keep trying. Your brain needs it, too. Damaging small blood vessels racks up cumulative damage over time that your body can start trying to reverse as soon as you quit. I know it’s insanely, absurdly addictive. You still need to.

You cannot rules lawyer your way past your body’s basic needs. It needs food, sleep, activity, and the absence of poison. Those are both small things and big asks. You cannot sustain a routine based on punishment, so don’t punish your body. Find ways to include these things that are enjoyable and rewarding instead. Experiment. There is no reason not to experiment—you don’t have to know instantly what’s going to work for you and what won’t, you just need to be willing to try things and make changes when things aren’t working for you.

You will still age. Your body will stop making collagen and elastin. Tissues you can see and tissues you can’t see will both sag. Cushioning tissues under your skin will get thinner. You’ll bruise more easily. Skin will tear more easily. Accumulated sun damage will start to show more and more. Joints will begin to show arthritis. Tendons and ligaments will get weaker and get injured more easily, as will muscles. Bones will lose mass and get easier to break. You’ll get tired more easily.

But you know what makes the difference between being dead, or as good as, in your 60s vs your 90s? Activity, plants, and quitting smoking. And don’t do meth. Saw a 58-year-old guy this week who is going to have a heart attack if he doesn’t quit whatever stimulant he’s on. I pretended to believe it was just the cigarettes, and maybe it is, but meth and cocaine will kill you quicker. Stop poisoning yourself.

Baby steps; take it one step at a time; you don’t need to have everything figured out right now. But you do need to be working on figuring things out.
