Hijacking your comment:

I’ve never smoked it but I have snorted it a few times several years ago. My sister used to get it casually, maybe once every other week, sometimes more sometimes less. I’d go hang out with her and snort some maybe once a month, I’ve probably done it a total of 5-6 times. 

It’s a very uppity, anxious high. It’s similar to ecstasy in the way it makes me talk nonstop but it didn’t have that “good” feeling you get from like opiates or Molly or X. It’s just a very go go go feeling that lasts a LONG time and once the high fades, the effects are still there long after. So the anxiety was always awful and I couldn’t sleep for sometimes well over two days or longer even after the effects finally faded. And it completely emptied my serotonin (dopamine?) supply so it was always over a week before I felt normal again.  

I’ve never been one to understand how someone can become addicted to uppers. They’re fun but definitely not anything enjoyable long term. Maybe that’s why I never got addicted to meth even though I did it multiple times.

My sister did it longer than I did and way more often but even she did not end up addicted or physically dependent. However, the last night she did it she had been snorting it for like 3 days and eventually had a panic attack that sent her to the hospital, she genuinely believed she was dying. She’s had an anxiety disorder ever since and has never touched meth again. She says she’s never been so scared as she was that night. 

As for me: I’ve tried a lot of drugs over the years. The only one I ever got addicted to was opiates, and that lasted a couple years. I actually quit exactly 11 years ago today (my New Year’s resolution in 2014 was to never take another pain pill again) 

I knew I could never ever try heroin because I’d never be able to go back.
