REAL STORIES
"With chronic use, tolerance for meth can develop. In an effort to intensify the desired effects, users may take higher doses of the drug, take it more frequently, or change their method of drug intake."

I first tried meth at age 21. By this time, I was already a full blown drug addict to whatever I could get my hands on; and so when meth came along, it was beautiful to me because I could stay high for longer and for so much cheaper‹but it screwed up my life for the next 3 years.
I spent this time with my ex buying products for others to make the meth for us. Together we could go through an eight ball in a couple of days. It was never enough. In 2004, while buying pseudoephedrine for more, we were busted with 817 pills and I went to jail for 7 months. I am one of the lucky ones because that shook me into reality and saved my life. The very last night I was high, I thought I was going to die‹it is truly the closest thing I have ever felt to a heart attack and there was nothing I could do to get my heart to slow down. I had lost almost all control of the muscles in my neck and so it would rock back and forth and I wouldn't even realize it. My hands would contort in different odd directions and, again, I didn't even realize it. I had picked at the skin all across my chest to where I would have to buy boxes of band-aids at a time. I still am recovering 4 years later and I still have problems with my neck, not to mention the $8,000 worth of work that has to be done on my teeth.
There is NO just trying this drug once; if you pick it, up you WILL NOT be able to put it down for some time. So please PLEASE, as this ad says‹ don't do it, not even once.
