re: Is it possible to try meth once and not get addicted?

Different drug, but there was a guy on reddit who claimed that he just happened to try heroin once because he was curious and was totally just going to be a one time thing. He ended up OD'ing within a year. You can see his progression in posts spread out over several years of being in and out of rehab. His last post says that he has been clean for 7 year iirc. It's a crazy progression to see. User name is spontaneoush I think.

Heroin isn't ice.

i've been doing drugs off and on since i was 23. i'm 34.


shite I've done Heroin before and am not addicted. I don't like opiates like that. in fact i hate them honestly.


again,k it dpeneds on the person. i like stimulants, and even that, i was addicted to crack, i'm not addicted to ice or coke or addarall, etd


it depends on the person.


of all the hard drugs out there, ice / meth is the.. it grabs you the least. the high isn't as intense or strong as Heroin or crack but it last much longer. of all the hard drugs, ice is the one i would be least cocerned about


with ice more than anything it's the lifestyle moroe than the drug itself.

With all drugs it's the lifestyle. If you always use drugs of some sort as your only source of entertainment and don't have some form of personal enrichment then the drugs will always be what you turn to when you have free time. The issue with overcoming addiction is that you have to learn how to live completely differently and start a life separate from whatever friends and triggers are connected to that addiction.

it really ain't. smoking crack ain't fun. at all. doing Heroin isn't fun. but ice... the girls. girls love that shite. give me an 8 ball of ice and stick me in any hotel in america and by the end of the night i'm fricking someone

all these drugs every batch will have a different potency. Saying you did it once and either didn't like it or it didn't do you anything it, it might have been shite. If you get it from joe blow on the corner you can bet your arse its gonna be stepped on like a pile of dog shite. in the early 90s we had a direct hookup with a pretty major dealer in the area and always got top of the line dope. blow you frickin socks off. a small rail and you are done for the next 8 hours.

Best hallucinations in the world is snorting clean crank for a couple days straight then pop a couple xanax with a bag of weed to come down. Good times.

But on the other hand if its stepped on with some crap it will make you hate life.

Straight answer = Yes. I know people who have snorted crystal Meth and have stopped, never to pick it up again. That being said, do they still know how good it felt? of course but it apparently wasnt enough to overpower them.


Real answer = it very much depends on the person, quality of the drug, and the route of usage. Injection of methamphetamine is vastly more potent than smoking/snorting. To the point where i've had PhD's who study it for a living tell me that even they dont understand how this drug can, when injected, make some people do the absolutely horrible and literally subhuman things that some of them do to get a fix. Im talking about things thatd make the Pope strangle a person to death over.


So yes, people can not get overpowered by it and let it be, but meth is one of those drugs that not matter what, a person will probably always remember the good feeling they got and may always be more vulnerable next time.

The come down blows that's why people keep doing it.

I would say it is possible to try meth 2 or 3 times and not get addicted to it. I wouldn't know about trying it 4 or more times.

Back in the day when it was still called "crystal" and came from chemistry students in Europe, then yes. We did it all the time and I dont know anybody that got addicted. The shite thats out there now that bubba brews in his bathtub? I wouldnt go near that shite. Purely for health reasons not for fear of addiction. Might go Miami cannibal on dat arse.

I can knock meth & coke off of the list of drugs that might be fun for me.

coke =/= meth. i've never tried meth, but i've got add and coke is fun as hell, but only once every 3-6 months. trying to fall asleep that night and the next day is a bitch from hell.
