CRANK: Made in America

[Toozee]

I new people who could do a bump one night just cause it was around and I new people that a dealer wouldn't even sell it too because they were just too fucked up.
It's a serious drug....and like any serious drug you should know what you're dealing with.

If it seems like you HAVE to have more......you need to quit and not do it again.

But......I'll admit.....I wouldn't do it now. I like eating too much.
And honestly.....you are better off not doing it.

if some of you only knew or had seen some of the dirtbags that do this shit, and cook it up, I have a friend who has been in prison twice all because of crystal meth, and he is an addicted IV user of meth, the guy use to bench 425 lbs and weigh 240 with killer calves and huge arms, now he weighs 170, and is a dried up crank addict....................if any of you live in the south and midwest you realize that your areas are over-ran with sorry ass nasty ass meth users. Some crank out here in california is processed by cooking the shit up with human urine, that should tell you right there how nasty that shit is..........alot of these people you see on jerry springer and those shows, all are addicted to meth, that shit turns you into the dirtiest, nastiest, douche bag that you could ever imagine, and the shit people do to get it.........my buddy I discussed earlier, he would go into a married couples house, cook up crank for the husband and wife, and his payment would be that he got to stay at the house and fuck the wife!!!!!!!!!! Crank users are lower than scum!!!!!!!

I guess I am special. It never hurt me. I have enjoyed it and it has helped me to concentrate and get work done in the past. I say it depends on who uses it.

totally plornive, I think everyone responds differently to substances, for some its managable, but it seems for a large number of people, they try it and realize they have found their poisen and just like it too much to stop. Lucky for me, pot was the only thing I really liked. I have since given it up but still hold it in the highest regards, as I do you bro.

Meth can lead to schizophrenia as a side effect, a much stronger link not "aggravate" like with weed. Also most people that i've known to take meth, or post on erowid, etc are up for days at a time, which causes hallicinations on its own. Hell for what its worth, I remember reading on some drug board, about how oh its not so bad etct etc. Then a few threads down people recalled their most crazy times. One guy was talkin about how he pulled a shotgun when he heard someone coming into his apartment, almost blasted his friend because he was so paranoid (i think this was after 4 days of no sleep). Then he just laughed about it; one of the same guys that thought the drug was rather benign. Overall its a drug for junkies.

Use meth a few times and you'll be fine. Abuse the shit out of it, and you'll suffer the consequences. I'm not saying the stuff is harmless, just that trying it does not guarantee addiction and the majority of people who try crank or any other hard drug DO NOT become addicted, nor do they become regular users.

I'd put back some Captain Morgan's when I posted up my previous comment, so I didn't go out of the way to explain myself so precisely like I usually try to do.

So is a meth habit bad? Without a doubt.

Is using meth a few times a one-way ticket to addiction, a disgusting body, and an early death? No.

And just for the record, I don't have a meth habit, nor do I ever crave the shit, nor is it ever a part of my daily thought patterns. I've tried it and have not been too impressed, but even if I was it could never take the place of the way it feels to train hard and build a good body.

There we go. Hopefully I've clarified everything and folks won't assume that I have a hard drug habit like always seems to happen when one offers a dissenting opinion on a drug thread.

I have to agree.....I got a 3.9 in college because of that crap, lol.
Yes, I studied on it like a mofo. But, I was a Jazz studies major, so practicing an instument intensly for hours on end was kind of fun. Then....like anything intense, you need to recover the next day. So I did. Those were the good ol days, lotsa funny stories.

I do feel sorry for those other guys though, that's just sad.

no doubt. I'm all for drug legalization but you can't sit here and look me in the eye saying there are any beneficial qualities of meth. I'd laugh in your face.

The beneficial qualities of methamphetamines are the same as those of other medications of the phenylethylamine group, such as methylphenidate and amphetamine. Take a shit load of the latter two and see if the effects are not similar. Improved concentration/focus, increased alertness, improved sense of well-being...the known effects of dopaminergics.

Tell me, how does a user of black market meth determine his/her dose? A balance? Pure luck, a line drawn with a finger nail, a spoon with no known volume. Do the same with crushed Ritalin and see what effects you get.

Simply because people can abuse a drug for whatever end they desire does not mean that the drug is "evil" or "bad". It is the escapist mentality of the user that is destroying him, the drug is simply the means. If he can't get meth, he will get heroin, or crack, or alcohol, etc.
