Well..... Call it what you want, Meth, Grit, Gak, Crystal, whatever the fuck, those names are used a lot around here. Anyways this is my "beef" with meth.... I dont know what the situation is like where you live, but I live in (see above: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada....) and the Meth problem here is WAY outta control... Background on my city: There are about 800'000 people living in my city, its the capital of our province. Its got a pretty heft crime situation as well, which speaks bounds vice and... versa for drugs. I have personally seen 3 friends get destroyed by meth, I dont know where 1 of them is now, Im sure he moved away to try and sell it or something stupid and is most likely wide awake dead somewhere. The other one went to a pyschward for the whole summer to combat the effects it had on his brain for all those years. These are not people that have just done it once or twice here and there, they started like that ALL of them did (and besides these 3 people, I know atleast 20 more... or more that do it, and while most likely end up like these other 3), these guys did it all the fucking time and it would show, losing weight, getting speed bumps on their face/lips/hands... blah blah blah, being awake for a week or more straight, not eating, going kinda crazy here and there... eventually it all adds up. Ive seen it happen, yes I tried speed but i didnt do it after a couple times because luckily (if you could call it luck) I saw how other people who had been doing it for years looked and acted and I didnt want to be like that at all. Now I have a good friend who did it for many years and he stopped because he was pretty much dying from so much crystallization in his lungs and other shit from the drug toxication his body. He sees people do it, or people talk about it too much be gets all weird and just fucks off. Hes 24 now. And its just really fucked up to see people behave like this. What I wanted to know is do you know people like this? Is Meth a problem in your city or town or wha |

Is Meth a problem in your city or town or whatever? because here it is a total tidal wave of meth, and its looking bad. |

I don't know if it's bad in portland, but the movie "Spun" was based off the meth scene in my old city, Eugene |

Mappatazee: ive seen spun, and it was pretty close to how bad it can be for a lot of speed useres. I know, ive been to houses like that, known .. err.. know people like that. Its fuckin crazy... and sad. |

I'Ve never tried it, never will. As far as i know we do not have a problem in Newbury. |

i've sampled a LOT of chemicals. but meth is one thing i've never tried. nobody i know does it on a regular basis so i've never really been exposed to it. i suppose if one of my friends had some, and was sharing, i'd give it a hoot but it isn't something i would seek out. But yo, i'd try anything once. |

I went to a rural school, kids didn't really start doing it until around senior year I think, but I heard about the shittier schools in Springfield (next to eugene, considered shitty) where some of the kids were doing coke they stole from their parents in the bathroom during break. It's just something poor white trash do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but yeah, no meth problem in seattle. at least not that i'm aware of. maybe all the skanky tweakers keep it to themselves or something... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oops, I neglected to say the 'kids' doing coke and speed were in junior high, so like 13-15 years old. that's not good. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
this is weird..... because there is such a big problem with it in my city.... shit.... mappatazee: see here its not a poor white trash thing to do, everyones on the fuckin train on this one.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I guess it's not all poor white trash unfortunately. My friend said all the girls at her highschool were so skinny because they all did speed. |

I went to a 'crackhouse' once to pick up this guy to buy us alcohol. He couldn't remember 2 fucking things that we wanted him to buy. And the girl that was there was all gross and had track marks on her arms. I definitely felt uncomfortable. |

|
|
it's not a problem around here.. (orlando) is meth the same as speed or did you just know people who were doing both at once? What are 'speed bumps'? |
||||||||
|

there are so many other pleasant chemical highs for you to be spending your allowance on. |

Meth is fun :D! The only problem we have here is being able to get enough high quality shit to keep us talking total bollocks way into the next day :P |

meth seems to be the newest 'cool' drug around here. all the kids are starting to do it, and i tell them: man, smoking meth is smoking death. sure, ive done it before, but like, for real, reflex ain't lyin. i've seen people fuck thier shit up really badly from meth. and seeing thoes people should be reason enough for you not to do it. i dont know. it's not good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes spun was decent. i like the moral of it. it kind of reminded me of "requiem for a dream" but not as artistically well done. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah smoking death is a joint dipped in embalming fluid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the meth your friends do probably come from my neighborhood (eastvan) yes, it is a big problem here |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You can shoot it up or do lines too, right? I think smoking it is more potent though because it's put into 'freebase' form? |

A bloke tried to sell me some on a streetcorner when I was living in one of the nicest areas of the country. There's a growing number of middle class young professionals who do it in the UK and as they can generally afford it (and don't resort to theft, prostitution, etc to fund it) it doesn't really get noticed unless they fuck up properly on it. |

a meth lab in an apartment over a restaurant exploded a couple miles from where i live a couple years ago. there have been numerous discoveries of rural methlabs and even a mobile lab operated in the trunk of a car. i've never taken meth and don't know anyone who has taken non-pharmaceutical methamphetamine, but it must be going somewhere. |

I have a few friends that became insanely addicted to meth.. one actually just got out of rehab about a moth ago. i'm set with adderol, and being a horrible drunk. |

I thought you said drugs are bad? Addicts are alright at xltronic, but we cant stand hypocrites. ;) |

Zephyr Twin: Speed bumps are what a real speed addict gets on their face and other parts of their body. Its the toxins in the meth coming out through your skin, they look just like pimples pretty much. I dunno most people who truly do this stuff arent proud of it and would never say its cool on a messageboard. And if they do, they know nothing of the drug and havent been doing it long enough to know shit. |

tragedy: you wear too much paul frank. do all your shopping at mars and venus? haha. youd never get that.... cause you dont live here. hmm.... oh well. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
happy cycling: hmmm... possibly some of it comes from there, but there are many meth labs here in Edmonton, actually the other week there was a huge story in both major newspapers here about meth labs in Edmonton and the surrounding area, as fas as I know there werent that many before when the drugs popularity started, but obviously since then and the drugs boost in the mainstream more labs have been popping up. what they are afraid of is the toxic results from making this drug. and ofcourse the people who are going to sell it. |

reflex> that hat is the only thing i have by paul frank... and i didn't even buy it. |

i believe the capital of meth in the us is the midwest--major white trash drug. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh it also plays a big part in that movie in which afx did the soundtrack - devils playground - but the movie was so shitty and depressing. gives you a look at white trash. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what? afx has never done a soundtrack for any movie. |
||||||||

kmaty: thats a lame misconception now though, its not white trash that just does it, or the poor people in communities, its everyone, the drug is boundless as far as types of people that do it. tragedy: what... ohhh.. wait, you got it given to you eh.... paul frank paul frank. you think avril lavinge was wearing paul frank.. hmm... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well they used like 5 or 6 aphex songs in the movie... reflex- i have never seen anyone in the us with common sense use that drug, only white trash. im sure non-white trash people do it too, ive just never seen them. i used to live in st louis and go fishing and what not a few hours away and there would be meth heads hanging out at walmart with mullets/sweatpants/stained tanktops. it didnt look very appealing. sorry for the generalization. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kmaty; yeah generalization for sure, but no apology needed, because i dont do that shit. Hmmm... although im sure in America its a bit different.. a bit.. but not much. It seems to be really bad in Canada. |

meth is NOT speed, they're different I think technically it's the same as ice but we never call it meth so it's like me trying to understand what bowls are as opposed to cones. I've smoked ice a bunch of times and fucked myself up in the head and no it's NOT nice at all. I've been told that I never actually came all the way back to my original personality afterwards but I dunno if people jyst say that to be dramatic or scare me or what. I don't do it anymore- it doesn't give me any rush at all, just a cool relaxed feeling which I don't really think is worth the amount of money and damage you do to yourself. I still do lines of it sometimes but lines of it are more like speed and don't send you anywhere NEAR as loopy as smoking it. and FAR too many people in this town do it aswell, go to a club and everyone's like "Yeah I was smoking some globes before I came down" etc... bad shit, really. |
