    How are there new meth addicts? Don’t people know by now it’s really bad?

    ( just came back from shopping and saw a few really hyper addicts in the streets.

      I knew cigs were bad for me and I still started smoking.

      Someone that tries meth for the first time, I assume, is not doing well in life. Or bends to peer pressure and ends up addicted.

      There was a guy on reddit who posted his story of trying I think it might have been herione once, figuring what the hell, once is fine and holy hell is it scary to read what happened and how quicky he became addicted because he was forever chasing that first high. Pretty sure he completely fucked his life up because of “once is fine”. It’s insane. I figure that’s also what happens with meth. People figure why not and end up completely fucked.

      I think it really depends on who you’re hanging out with, how often and whether you have an addictive personality.

      That said my old man reckons when he was going through med school (!) in the 60’s / early 70’s stimulant use was rife amongst his cohort.

      I tried meth a bunch of times. More than ten, less than twenty. It didn’t really do much for me. I was never a big fan of speed or coke either. Meth absolutely consumed the people I was taking it with. Every social occasion became people ducking off to smoke little meth quietly until practically everyone had snuck off to smoke a bit.
