    Yeah there’s nooooo way it also could have just been your garden variety stimulant/amphetamine psychosis

    I have a sneaking suspicion his buddy was doing meth/adderall/other stimulants to stay lean.

    Amphetamines combined with lack of sleep can fuck with your head. (Especially if you’re already an idiot.)

    For the record everyone: Methamphetamine is growing rapidly in terms of popularity, all over the world.

    Crystal meth can absolutely destabilize one’s mental health to the point it is scary.

    Yes it can make you lose weight and concentrate on boring tasks but you HAVE to fucking sleep and eat. (A lot of people just stop taking care of themselves cause the physiological cues for hunger and rest don’t happen on these drugs)

    Don’t use meth every day. Duh.

    If you begin to feel like you’re experiencing things that are outside the realm of normal possibility you might want to put it down and take a Valium and just go to fucking bed.

    Thank you this has been my meth TED talk.

    (2 years clean this November.)

        Yes the way the product is made has changed. From the synthesis, to the facilities, scale and locations.

        Meth cooking has moved from sporadic, scattered psuedoephedrine based small batch cooks in the United States to MASSIVE scale superlabs in Mexico.

        The formula has changed though as well, psuedoephedrine is too difficult to obtain at the scale that it is needed to produce this much meth. So these new meth factories use the P2P (phenyl-2-propanone) method. This is the one they use in breaking bad for the same reason essentially once they get big enough.

        What has changed with this method is that the meth comes out as a racemic mixture and must be cleaned up to get a pure D-Methamphetamine product, or mostly cleaned up. The remain L-Methamphetamine makes the high less mentally euphoric and more physically stimulating.

        (Essentially less potent mg for mg.)

        More product is needed to get the same effect compared to pure D-Meth which is what psuedoephedrine synthesis produces.

        This new super lab product is also usually less clean in general. It often is more likely to contain potential leftover contaminants simply because it’s made in huge batches by a group that has only recently decided to go all in on meth.

        They also aren’t like… taste testing their products. Often, small batch cooks would do this, they were addicts too lol

        Superlabs just make tons of this new more “commercial grade” stuff and hope it turns out well after it’s refined a couple times.

        It’s often cheaper for the end user and the price speaks for itself. It sells itself, a small dip in potency for a huge price break is a no brainer.
