Yeah, if you snort it or smoke it, it can be pretty damn uncomfortable. I always did it orally and never had any problems. The rotting would probably be because once you're addicted you start forgetting about personal hygene. I'm no expert in chemistry, but I can't find anything that would cause the chemical to actually rot teeth. Then again, many people use very impure stuff. That's dangerous.

I don't suggest anyone EVER try it. There are some that can handle it, but it is very addictive and usually not worth the risk.

The gum deterioration characteristic of frequent users is probably due to the vasoconstriction produced by contact with smoked meth. If the blood supply is sufficiently restricted the tissues will die.

That makes enough sense for me. Smoking meth is really not the best thing you can do. If someone thinks they can handle it, swallowing it is best. Apparently it's a less intense rush, but you could do worse.

I think the stuff you get on the streets contains so many toxic impurities only the foolhardy would use it. When I see a news story of some meth lab being busted there's a hazmat (hazardous materials) team in moon suits poking around the site.

I'd recommend sticking with pharmaceutical amphetamines or even good old fashioned cocaine if you must play with stimulants.

Yup we get it over here. I was hooked on it for 2 years. It's not good.

And yes that is right, mix the crystals with water. Slow build but not teeth grinding or paranoia. You don't get the Euphoria to the same degree though
