Methamphetamine (Image Library)

What to say about methamphetamine? Most importantly I think, the horror stories are generally true, so if you are going to use it despite this, do your research properly and extensively.

Hardly surprisingly, I had a wonderful time, but… but… the downer lasted and lasted and lasted. I still hark back to certain aspects of it to this day. I can easily see how it leads to tragedy for some people.

For the immediate aftermath the same recovery techniques I have mentioned for other stims also apply to this: good food, fruit juice, a little exercise, vitamins, sleep if you can, etc. Be careful (very). It obviously isn’t one to play with, and I suggest that it isn’t worth the risk: I recommend that it is avoided.

Yes, I do realise that this sounds like a lecture, but hopefully in the circumstances I can be forgiven. :-)
