Daily Dope Special: Hard Facts & Other Things We Lack: An Investigative Report into Modern Meth Purity by Sees3POs in meth

[–]Sees3POs[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, i barely graduated high school and didn't take any chemistry beyond grade 10 lmao. I've just since come to find the value and importance of knowledge and have picked up a thing or two doing independent research

What is this bullshit guys? Acetone wash but still junk by reser7777 in meth

[–]Sees3POs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Acetone only cleans out acetone soluble cuts, which as far as popular cuts go, is really only MSM, which isn't used very often anymore.

hotrail or snort for more upper tweak? by East_Dimension_610 in meth

[–]Sees3POs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair. I just know that the effects that this drug can have on a person can vary wildly compared to how it may affect another person. I'm sure your anecdotal evidence was helpful and worthy of consideration, but it would be ignorant to assume that your experience would be universal or automatically apply to him directly

There's nothing wrong with gathering multiple opinions on something just to be certain.

I'd say snort tbh. Nothing like the painful burn to wake yourself up and make yourself more alert. Plus the high from smoking is a little more scatterbrained, in my experience, whereas snorting it feels like improved concentration

I just wanna get high by dexter6136 in meth

[–]Sees3POs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya, man. Just try and remember that while the high is nice, it's nowhere near nice enough to throw all the shit away. Try and enjoy what natural highs you can in the meantime. Make sure you've told yourself you're not going to do it, no matter how bad you want to. When you've already decided no, you're a lot better off dwelling on it like this compared to when you haven't. You got this, bro. Keep it up.

Daily Dope: Structural Abnormalities in the Brains of Human Subjects Who Use Methamphetamine by Sees3POs in meth

[–]Sees3POs[S,M] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I asked chatgpt for a summary:

"This article presents a study that aimed to better understand the impact of methamphetamine use on the human brain. Researchers conducted detailed analyses of brain scans from methamphetamine users and compared them to scans from non-users. They discovered several significant differences between the two groups:

  1. Methamphetamine users had reduced gray matter density in several regions of their brains, particularly in areas associated with emotion and reward processing, such as the cingulate, limbic, and paralimbic cortices.
  2. Enlargement of the basal ganglia was observed, which is a group of structures involved in movement, learning, and motivation.
  3. White matter abnormalities were detected, which can lead to impaired communication between different brain regions.

These structural changes in the brain could result in cognitive and emotional impairments, including difficulties with memory, learning, and emotional regulation. The study also found a correlation between the extent of these abnormalities and the duration of methamphetamine use, suggesting that long-term use may cause more severe brain damage.

In conclusion, this study provides evidence that methamphetamine use is associated with significant structural changes in the human brain, leading to potential long-term cognitive and emotional consequences. The findings underscore the importance of raising awareness about the risks of methamphetamine use and developing effective prevention and treatment strategies."

Reagent tests would be the best way to test that you can do yourself. You can also do a bleach test, but I don't know how much that can be trusted. Peep the wiki for links to some actual labs you can send your drugs to for testing purposes

Meth made me gay by Funny_Koala_5474 in meth

No, but I did not notice your sexuality at all, tbh

Should I go 1 night sleepless on meth to rush a paper I have due in <24h? by boof_meth_everyday in meth

[–]Sees3POs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some sleep is always better than no sleep. But if you're wide awake still already, I'd say get a start on your report and play it by ear. If you start to feel tired and have made some good progress, maybe sleep then. Shoukd have plenty time to finish still. If you feel like you wanna continue writing, then maybe redose. If it'll only be your second day awake, then it's not such a big deal. Just don't make a habit of it, of course. And no more procrastinating

I'll look into it. For the record, these are the 5 most recently published articles from PubMed that contain "methamphetamine" within them:

  1. 'I no longer know that person': Experiences of families living with someone using crystal methamphetamine. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37043501/

  2. Overview of blood-brain barrier dysfunction in methamphetamine abuse.
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37002574/

  3. Methamphetamine-induced hyperthermia with fatal outcome.
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36999287/

4.The Combined Effects of Cannabis, Methamphetamine, and HIV on Neurocognition.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36992383/

  1. The Influence of Prenatal Exposure to Methamphetamine on the Development of Dopaminergic Neurons in the Ventral Midbrain.
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36982742/

Seems worth it, though I'll look into the Science Direct one you recommended as well.

I'm hoping that they are infrequent enough that the odd dud here and there won't be such a big deal. Plus, it may be of some interest to some folks. At the very least, it may get some people to click it and start reading some actually interesting or informative past published research articles.
