  • I acquired a source of Adderall tabs a few years back, it's a prescription amphetamine based drug used in the U.S. (not licensed here) to treat things like ADD/ADHD and narcolepsy. The same source also stocked Desoxyn which is methamphetamine based. I developed a weakness for these two pretty rapidly in fact almost as quickly as I developed a tolerance to their effects. The effects of amphetamines can be significantly enhanced by taking them with an Antacid, Malox for example since low gut pH increases the clearance of amphet from the system. It's extremely damaging to the CV system, very neurotoxic (methamphet particularly) and not very good at all as a performance enhancing substance considering it's moniker. And it was this shit that played a big part in the death of Tommy Simpson, RIP.

  • I used to dab it on my tongue rather than the gums (...)

    Your gums will still bleed. Your teeth will blacken up after some months and eventually fall out, because you flushed all the calcium out of your system. Your hands will tremble, they will get red and swollen pretty quickly. Your hart will take it's share of constant battering, so will your central nervous system. Your soft tissue and stomach lining will become inflamed (IBS is a must!). You will get sores and herpes on your mouth, permanent infections of your throat and nose. You will get nasty case of paranoia and psychosis - very quickly, usually after few months of regular use. Maybe a stroke...

  • Had the worst come down ever after about 3 grams of very strong speed in a club in about 91. Sat by a canal at 6 in the morning, didn't know what to do with myself - couldn't feel anything other than just deep sorrow...

    However, later that day me and the then girlfriend performed oral on each other for a couple of hours non stop, which was ace.

    Every cloud

  • ^^^Desoxyn was the fuel to the fire of the Warhol/Lou Reed crowd of late 60s/early 70s New York - the best stuff is the pharmaceutical gear, legitimate up to a point, but designed to have effects over and above their intended use. 'Need to lose some weight? Here, have some grade A methamphetamine'. Pleasure hidden behind another message.

  • I used to regularly do three or four large syringes of a doves tears/ whale adrenalin mix injected directly into my balls followed by a pair of intravenous Kronebergs.

    Good times, this is all before I got a TV.

  • Nowadays people just watch "Dancing on Ice" or summink

  • TheorySwine - yeah the pills contained 5mg if memory serves me right and 3 had you bombed outta your mind but the pharm grade had a distinct calmness to it somehow as well as the super intense stimulation/dopamine production+++ and the effects just gradually wore off i.e. no awful 'comedown' whereas street gear always left ya feeling really dirty like you'd been raped in the mind & body by a dozen plague infested syphillitic zombies.

    You should work for "Drug Review Monthly"

  • Only if you had a bucketloads. The worst come down is after speed, as it lasts longer (the "high" also last longer). All the heart pounding, high/low pressure, depression/paranoia bullshit.

    I never was one for moderation. MDMA never left me on a roof top for 5 hours in the sun just feeling shitty and talking to my friend about how shitty we where feeling and how we wanted more.... Coke on the other hand...

    I wouldn't blame the drugs, Chris :-D

  • Scotch eggs.

  • Amphetamines?!? Pfff!!! I'm with Tynan on this one...

    I recommend chimpanzee adrenaline injected directly into a main artery for that Friday night Party On! feeling...

    Fucking kids...

    The adverts are like cold turkey man.

    'Kin'ell grandad, I can only speak from personal experience and as I said, the legacy of my short period of amphetamine abuse was a nice garden, more attractive physique and an improved love life. I then stopped doing it. As a consequence the garden went into decline.

  • That was an info for all the friends of friends.

  • Nice amount of interwebz theory and bullshit in here I see.

    Oh well, I'm off to get smacked of my tits on a ecstacy pipe. Has anyone got any cake?

  • Mmm.. gurn cake

  • can one IV alcohol?

  • Yes, but it tastes horrible.

    Careful, Tim. That sounds like a junkie talk.

    Speed is nasty. Absolutely not worth the bother. I've lost a couple of friends to amphetamines and it happened very quickly. Both girls, pretty, with degrees, good media jobs. Now one's a bum living in London (run away from home convinced that people are after her), toothless, red faced, unrecognisable. The other is recovering junkie with HIV, working for a charity - she was taking speed intravenous (or whatever you spell it), sucking guys off it the toilets for a score. It took less than a year of regular use for both.
    Many people I know who work for radio stations on graveyard shifts also do speed.
    Like every drug it's only nice at the beginning and in moderation. After it's only a chore, expensive habit to keep depression at bay...

  • Cant stand that taste you get from amphetamines, bad aspirin/paracetemol taste in the back of your throat.
    Last had speed in 98. Havent really missed it much.
    As Kinky Friedman said 'drugs make dull people interesting and interesting people dull'

  • Perhaps it's just the days-gone-by penchant for Bolivia's 'finest' but I've never thought, "ooh, I right fancy a dab of speed"... Horses for courses I guess.

  • coming down off hard drugs is a terrible thing

  • coming down off a granite horse is a hard thing.
