No wonder it squeezes life out of the consumers. The rate at which their physical looks deteriorate as if they are being embalmed while alive is scary

They start rotting from the inside out. Starting with their teeth, then their skin starts drying up and makes them look like 50 years older, it blurs their sight because their eyes become bad, it eats up the brains etc etc

I actually don't know what people gain by using hard drugs, i really don't know.


Methamphetamine is on a different level from other classic hard drugs bro.

Your brain releases on average 250 dopamine units during a mind blowing orgasm while having sex.

Taking Methamphetamine alone tricks the brain into releasing 1300 dopamine units. That x6 of an orgasm.

An orgasm "high" is about 15 secs to 30 secs max. Meth high can last for hours.

Imagine feeling uncontrollable orgasms for 12 hours straight. This drug is truly the Devil's candy.

There must be something wrong with you, it's not everyone that will be like you guys, smoking, drinking and taking hard drugs will only ruin your life, stop it now before it's too late.
Who is talking about hard drugs? I smoke weed in my own house, not a rented house and I drink as well. That hasn't stopped me from doing my work effectively and that hasn't ruined my life either. A man who doesn't drink, doesn't smoke and doesn't talk about women, I'm sorry I can't have him as friend because we can't connect well. When I want to discuss business, I have a different set of buddies for that.

Truly a poison. Methamphetamine is one hell of a drug. Not even heroine (which is itself highly dangerous) comes close.

Meth literally transforms human beings into aliens/supermen.

Meth can cause you to be up without sleep for 7 days straight. And your concentration and focus will still be higher than normal people who have been sleeping.

Someone on meth can hear sounds from the 3 next rooms. And can finish 10 books in one week. All this while feeling Happy like crazy.

It literally turns a man into a beast. It's why meth is a journey most people never recover from. One high is enough to get you hooked forever.

Well OP I don't intend to discredit your post but I must say you are not very knowledgeable in this part of chemistry

Well those substances you listed above are not the components of Crystal Methamphetamine there are are just the reagents employed in its synthesis. The drug could contain some of them as impurities but not as a basic component.

Let me give you an instance,in the synthesis of paracetamol harmful chemicals such as aniline and acetic anhydride are used but the end product which is paracetamol is "edible"

Same applies to meth and every other synthetic drug,the chemical reagents used to produce the drug may be harmful while the end product may be useful to the body,in fact a chemical entity might be very harmful and a little synthetic modification of the entity would produce a very safe and useful compound.

Meanwhile Lithium is a licensed drug

I am posting this here incase you know anybody who takes this drug. If you actually know what goes into making (cooking) crystal methamphetamine, you will likely not touch it unless you've thrown caution to wind and hellbent on ruining your system. Meth is not a natural substance from plants like marijuana. It is completely artificial.

This is for educational purposes , to inform the youth who may, out of ignorance, be lured into consuming this substance. This is not intended for use by any misguided individual for nefarious purposes.

meth is the solidified form of methamphetamine. They are usually white like ice crystals, hence the name crystal methamphetamine. Or crystal meth. There's an active ingredient in the meth which is used in medicine , but the process of creating the meth itself requires the addition of dangerous substances.

The components of meth are as follows:

1. Pseudoephedrine (the medicinal active ingredient used in cough/cold medicines )
2. Lithium (from car batteries)
3. Red phosphorus (from matchboxes , fireworks, flares, or explosives)
4. Sulfuric acid (found in toilet/bathroom cleaning fluid , it is highly corrosive)
5. Anhydrous ammonia (used in fertilizers)
6. Toluene (found in car brake fluid)
7. Acetone (used in nail polish remover)
8. Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda, used for making soap, dyes, explosives etc)
9. Hydrochloric acid (chemistry students know not to mess with concentrated HCL acid in the lab)
10. Petrol ( needs no introduction )

All these dangerous substances have a certain effect on the system . For instance , have you ever tasted or inhaled petrol while transferring from jerry can to car using a hose ? You noticed a certain lightheadedness like a high feeling, right ? Some people found a way to mix all these substances together and it turned to solid form. (That's if they did not die from explosion while boiling it).

You don't have to be told what these substances can do to your body.

Now that you know what crystal meth is made of, would you knowingly go ahead and ingest it ? Warn others and save a life.

Outta curiosity;
Is this the same drug from the movie Breaking Bad?

Anything different from marijuana should be completely banned from our society.


Yes, it's still meth. But usually in the real world, to cut cost drug dealers "cut" (dilute) the meth with other substances to increase profit. It's stuff like that causes the tooth decay (Google meth mouth) and other skin stuff and sometimes even heart attacks and death in users.

Heisenberg's meth (blue sky) was obviously more purer/cleaner and that's why it was sought for by dealers and users.

However, more meth means more a stronger addiction that eventually causes the users to seek for inpure meth when the normal one is too expensive for them (meth heads usually can't keep jobs for long) or unavailable( like a police bust).

It's a rabbit hole that ends very badly 99.99% of the time.

I'm shocked to know Africans period would be using crystal meth. In the US it's used almost exclusively by Whites .... Blacks generally just stay clear of it period. The effort and money put into COVID-19 programmes and protocols need to be redirected to this serious drug problem.
Who ever aspires to be an addict?... just that most start by trying out these substances to experience its power ... and that's where they become trapped. Drugs are like bait ... you take it you're caught. NEVER TRY HARD DRUGS ... it will be the beginning of the end of you.

grin Education includes the facts.

The meth inital high is said to be the most happiest feeling a human can ever have.

It's why most users get addicted from the first puff. After using it and it wears off..Its all you can think of.
You simply just want to get that feeling again..and again.. and again and you're in.

The feeling is truly amazing.

But the thing is, the higher you go, the bigger the fall.
Before you use meth, say goodbye to your family and friends and sell your belongings.

Because you WILL definitely lose them and you will eventually sell your things. Only by doing it now you will properly do a send off your family and you will sell your things for the actual price of what they're worth.

This write up though meant to be deterrent; is very highly exaggerated. Car batteries; fertilisers etc don't exist as natural elements. So you don't extract things from them directly to make meth crystal; Rather those elements used (series of xcal processes) in making batteries and co. Are also used in formulating meth crystal; but not necessarily have to be converted to batteries and fertilisers first.

We had it coming. Drugs are usually a manifestation of other deeper societal problems.

For example, Tramadol has been used by many workers to stay focused at work because in a harsh economy everyone wants to keep their jobs at all cost.

Tramadol is gateway drug it's only a matter of time and tolerance before the users develop addictiin for stronger substances.

Many programmers, music writers, labourers, construction workers etc use meth for increased productivity. Yahoo boys usually work at night night sleep comes. Meth can make you not need sleep for 10 days straight and you're bombing steadily.

Refer to Bella Shmurda's
Ice on my neck, Ice on my wrist. Many days I never sleep. I'm taking risk song.

In a country where you need to be on a constant grind yo make ends meet, it's only a matter of time.

When you have the demand, the supply will come.
