Things To Consider Before Trying Meth
In the interest of harm reduction I thought I’d post some things I wish I’d thought of before trying meth the first time.
1. Do you have money to support a meth habit? This is extremely, extremely important. This is what makes the difference between a functional user and a homeless dope ho. Basically, can you pay your bills AND buy dope without having to lie, cheat, steal, commit other crimes or have sex to get it? If not you will end up doing one or all of those before you know it.
2. Do you have any lives depending on you? This could be kids or pets at home or, depending on your job it could mean lots of other people. For example, a day care worker, fire fighter, security, and so on. Decide right now that you won’t let your meth use affect those whose lives you affect. This includes you and your health and hygiene.
3. Do you have any pre-existing mental conditions? Are there any that run in your family? Contrary to popular opinion, meth doesn’t change a person in their core. It just amplifies what’s already there. So if you are friendly and flirty you could become horny and a bit slutty. If you’re chatty you’ll talk someone’s ear off. If you’re artsy you’ll color for hours. But if you have anger issues, you could be a psychotic a-hole. If you’re depressed, you’ll do nothing but dwell on your problems. If you’re a hypochondriac or paranoid you’ll end up being one of those people who think they have bugs in their skin or that the government is after them. Don’t expect meth to change you, other than increasing what’s already there.
4. If you are wanting to do meth to escape or to hide from emotional issues, you’re not going to have a good high. It’s just not that great for that. Meth is best as a feel good party type drug to use only for fun, not to medicate yourself.
5. (Optional) If you’ve read all this, and considered these and all the other ramifications and you still want to take the plunge, make the choice and be done with it. What I mean by that, is don’t post a pic with a big smile and a fat sack and then spend the rest of the night writing emo poetry about how much you hate yourself for buying it. Do dope or don’t do dope. There’s no sense in continuing to do it and to beat yourself up and cry about it. If you don’t want to continue, quit. Just make a decision and then go with it. Keep this in mind–drugs are supposed to be fun. If you aren’t having fun then what’s the point??
