Here’s What It’s Like To Have Friends Who Use Meth
I don’t think most people can tell who’s a tweaker and who isn’t.
It’s weird, looking back on things. In my heart of hearts, I knew meth was around my scene since the 2000s — if not earlier. However, it’s only been in the past five or so years that it really started to become unavoidable.
You see, I’ve tried every drug under the sun prior to getting clean. Heroin, coke, MDMA, ketamine, meow meow, flakka…Everything was fair game to me. It was actually the time I was accidentally dosed with meth that was the final scare I needed to quit.
I mixed drugs and had a bad reaction.
I was left pissing blood and unable to digest food for weeks.
Never again.
I’d say that, around 2015 or so, meth had started to take hold in the outskirts of the scenes I belonged to. I heard rumors about my ex using, but he was always on something so it’s never easy to figure out what he’s on.
One of the things I’ve noticed is that a lot of people insist that they can pick out a drug user by first sight. Honestly? They can’t. They can tell the ones who have addictions that took over, sure, but not all addicts show their colors — not even with meth.
