  1. The thing is, honestly, alot of them are. Ive kind of learned from talking to tweakers, listening to them talk about life, what matters to them, their experiences, alot of them started off as sensitive or troubled children and still are that at their heart, they found out speed can give them confidence and motivation to handle a harsh world and somewhere along they way they got lost. I see these people and see potental artists and researchers who in a diffrent place and time, might have ended up at a DRs office instead of a guys garage, and ended up with properly dosed stimulants under supervision of DRs and ended up doing great things

  2.  @patrickbennett439  Amphetamines cause your body to use more salt, and some other electrolytes. Things like pickles, Gatorade, frys, chips, ect can provide almost miraculous relief from the muscle cramps it can cause and keeps your heart in rhythm, so once you learn about it you just make a note of keeping some salty snacks around to crunch on so your study/writeing/mucic/sex/ whatevertfyour doing session is not intrupted

  3.  @JaredBrewerAerospace  Safe to everyone neighboring him sure, to him though? dudes regularly exposing himself to heavy metal vapors and known carcinogens, going so far as to determine if hes done it correctly by looking for the distinct smell of a molecule that causes direct DNA dammage

  4.  @Gyandhi  Never smoked meth and never will, but i do consume amphetamine tablets, and the thing is the right amount is motivating, to much is pacifying, if you do a higher amount you just feel profoundly ok, totally content. Which can kill your desire to do anything because why bother? You already feel fine

  5. cutting your own shlong off while haveing a revalation on PCP is the most stereotypically PCP thing imaginable

  7. I have a feeling hes done this so much and so often that he is running on auto pilot

  8.  @psycho6542  Not at all, first discovered as an offshoot molecule by the Romanian chemist who invented amphetamine in the 1880s, then in the 1890s a Japanese chemist figured out a simple rout of synthesis via preforming a reduction of ephedrine, which had already been isolated for use as a cold medicine, which allowed it to be manufactured much easier than the previous fully synthetic method which was tedious and impractical for mass manufacture

  9. Congratulations, but guess what? your not him and you dont share his nervous system

  10.  @WhiteExcalibur808  Problem is theres no real way to know what side of the fence your on untill youve consumed atleast some kind of amphetamine. while i firmly believe that MOST people can handle these things, as long as they are not smoking or injecting them, if your that 2 or 3% that cant your going to feel pretty screwed over when your going off the rails and everyone else can keep themselves together. unfortunately there really is no way to know for sure, so as with any mind altering substance it should be approached with extreme caution

  11. @Sexycessna206 Its the diffrence between finding something an interesting experience and wanting to have it periodically, and finding something so enthralling the only thing interesting going forward is chaseing a headrush. unfortunately, who falls on what side of the line is not something you can predict

  12.  @davidharvey321  nicotine and alcohol both have really unique biphasic effects profiles. Alcohol at low doses (1-2 drinks) actually acts in the brain more like a stimulant than a depressent. which probably explains the whole connection with ADHD and self medicateing with day drinking

  13.  @haikat4  I love stimulants but opioids immediately make me sick and anxious. its all just wierd brain chemical diffrences

  14. haveing peeped his writeings while doing a paper on the history of amphetamine use, abuse, and the changes in the illicit market, it came across to me as a dude whos tweaker fixation has him charting novel routs for synthesis, because the whole thing is full of all sorts of wierd routs that are technically possible, but either impractical in even a legal FDA licensed facility due to easier options and immense expense, or outright dangerous. Im no chemistry expert, My schooling is in History and Sociology, but in my skimming, not only where the D and L isomers routinely mixed up, one of the routs involved the use of a metalic catalyst in a reaction that, with my again minimal education in chemistry, stood out as something that would be violently exothermic, and was not listed as such, nor was any mention made in regards to the fact. If a clueless academic as myself could spot that one a mile away i shiver to think of all the other potentially catastrophic runaway reactions that could be hidden in that book that could very well kill the misguided individual trying their hand at unlicensed pharmacy

  15.  @TheLonelyCabbage  OD is ingestion of to high a dose of a drug which causes an adverse effect is the clinical definition of an overdose

  16. if you dont eat sleep and take care of yourself sure. Plenty of daily users, often quite literally perscribed it, do not suffer those ill effects

  17.  @Gabrielle-vz1me  (6 months later) "Hello, we are here to talk to you about the fact your renter has purchased the exact limit of sudafed every month for the past 3 years, have you observed any irregular behavior?"

  18. No but also yes. Meth is neurotoxic at certan blood levels, like many drugs its not inherently toxic at the correct dosage. which, according to the FDA, is 25MG for children, 40MG for adults daily. At those dosages excitotoxicity is not triggered. at to someone with no tollerence, those can absolutely get someone high. the problem is when people chase the dragon so to speak, the dopaminergic system physically cannot make someone feel high after someones been exposed to peak levels for a prolonged perioid of time, the "High" comes from spikeing levels, once the body is too comfortable with high levels, no high can be had. If someone knows that, cools it and goes to bed it can be used therapeutically and even recreationally without harm. Medically thats not to difficult as the dosage tends to be sub recreational, once people are trying to get high though the self control aspect can be very difficult to maintain

  19. I think thats what hes trying to point out, stimulants are wierd like that, theres a certan point it motivates you to do things, to much and it motivates you to do stupid things, and much beyond that it motivates you to do damn well nothing at all because your too busy trying to remember what your doing

  20.  @kevinhaid6211  dont forget the part of the book where he talks about useing novel catalysts for reduction and fails to mention 2 of the materials mentioned of the half dozen or so become violently exothermic outside a very narrow temp window. Just, dident mention it. I get why, he was wired and thought "HAY NO ONE ELSE REALIZED THIS!" and was excited to share, without considering, mabey theres some reason why? or that other people wouldent have the background knowledge to know that following the guide would give you a 20 degree sweet spot between a reaction and a runaway chemical fire

  21. sniffs IM FUCKING RAW

  22. they where not doing it randomly, they understood the process of chemical conversion and mapped out the reaction

  23. if you have poor self esteem stimulants can make people feel ok about themselves

  24. hes not doing the chemistry

  25.  @kathleenwyatt563  yeah theres no way this guy actually understood anything about chemestry, probably poorly following instructions he got form someone else who got it from someone else so on and so on

  26.  @TheLonelyCabbage  Yes you can. its usually not lethal sure, but you can absolutely OD, and thats not a uniqe thing to MDMA, all amphetamines are like that, speed, meth, adderall, dexies, its just that overdoses are generally just bad experiences not medical emergencies

  27. You got a point. Your bodys gotta eat and if you dont have some solid fat stores its got nothing to work with

  28. its fine art really

  29.  @davidharvey321  As someone with ADHD, yes you should, but do it the correct way with a perscription through a DR

  31. i mean you learned how to burn your airway with ammonia inhalation

  32.  @guy123thai  Opioids cause dependency with repeated use due to the upregulation of the receptors they bind to, weather or not its a weak or a strong opoid anything other than brief periods of use intermittently will eventually cause physical dependency an lead to withdrawals when stopped

  33. I mean theres also desoxyn which is literally just meth but you have to ask your dr specifically for that because most dont even know it exists. most people say its better than adderall though, i have a couple of friends who have it and give it solid reviews, id give it a go myself but my insurence doesent cover it so adderall and dexadrine for me unless that changes

  34. I dont see how anyone does downers of any kind, stuff just makes you nausious and makes the room spin

  35. Because speed makes everything seem extra lol Writeing a book report? more like THEMOSTIMPORTANTTHINGYOUVEEVERDONEINYOURLIFE

  36.  @FishJebus  The molecule itself is remarkable, its capable of treating ADHD in people who have high blood pressure and cannot tolerate amphetamine or dextroamphetamine because at theraputic dose it does not cause vasoconstriction compared to the others, its capable of treating narcolepsy, and its capable of, if administered within 24 hours of a stroke or TBI, preventing the cascade response that leads to mass cell die offs while encouraging damaged neurons to heal instead of self terminate. The molecule itself, applied correctly at correct dosage is remarkable. This does not mean that its a cool thing to become a tweaker and blow up your garage because your wanting to get spun out staying awake for a week.

  37.  @kobold7763  Its not about the duration so much its about the come up, for amphetamines you kind of get three states of "high" per dose, the come up period, the shoulder and the afterglow. and supposedly for smokeing meth specifically the come up has this flash kind of feeling that people get really obsessed over chaseing. Ill stick to my Dexedrine and Adderall thank you very much

  38.  @melkel2010  So i take this post was made measured in quarters not points

  39. No, Pseudoephedrine synthesis produces the D-Isomer of methamphetamine which produces noteably less vasoconstriction than the racemic variant, which is why its used in ADHD treatment for patients who experience cardiovascular side effects from amphetamine treatment. The D isomer would dry the mouth less than the racemic product made by the P2P rout

  40. To be fair, pretty easy to get, passionate, about meth. and to bang out paragraphs on a typewriter afterwards

  41. List 1 chemicals are legal to own but not to transfer without documentation. Reason being is alot of these same chems are used in perfectly legal, common and acceptable hobbies, so to compromise people can make those chemicals themselves, or buy them from a hobby store expressly sold for that purpose and the transaction documented. But individuals cannot sell them to other individuals

  42.  @_eriksson13  Weed absolutely can do that to some people, Its VERY VERY VERY RARE, but in those rare people they can totally loose their minds. Its not to say that weed is bad, its not, its one of the safest drugs there is, BUT, because its a thing that can happen people should just be aware of it and the first time they try it be in the company of individuals who are sober and watching. From personal experience it absolutely makes me hallucinate, very strongly, but im also independently aware of the fact it is a hallucination and the experience is not unpleasent. I could absolutely understand how if a persons experience was unpleasent and they where not self aware something like that could happen

  45.  @chrismena832TX  Yeah there is in other countrys. Not everywhere is like the US, in alot of places in Europe codeine and hydrocodone are not regulated like the other opioids

  46.  @bayersbluebayoubioweapon8477  Yes you can, it just requires alot to do so like any other amphetamine

  47. i only have a rudimentary understanding of chemistry but by the looks of it he was trying 2 or 3 different methods at once but forgetting which was what or thinking they where one and the same. like he got instructions for each and looked for steps on whatever was closest
    1
  48. why bother with that when someone could buy meth cheaper than the coke required to make crack? reason he tried this is because a box of sudafed is 10 bucks,

  49. Might think that its different how you take it, like how some people think "Beer drunk" is different than "Tequila drunk" they might think "well im not shooting it or snorting it so its not the same deal" Or they might do it once or twice and go "I dident get addicted, i feel just fine!" then become more casual about its use until suddenly, there you are

  50. Pure MDMA is quite literally an amphetamine MDMA Methyl​ene Dioxy ​Meth Amphetamine Its a methamphetamine analog that has 2 additional methyl groups which lead to a more pronounced release of serotonin compared to normal meth
