.I’m sorry doc but you are missing the most important aspect. The most important difference is the amount/volume of the drug that can be introduced into your system. An intravenous user can dissolve a 1/4 to an entire gram of meth in water and shoot that entire amount with a 1ml syringe. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to inhale that volume of meth in one hit. Human lungs just are not big enough. It would take many hits to smoke that much. So the two ROA’s may be similar in the speed that they reach your brain, but IV allows a user to intake much more of the drug at once. Back in 2014 I smoked meth for the first time and I did not get what the fuss was about. Then about a week later a “friend” suggested I shoot it up and unfortunately I did. It was like doing two different drugs. IV meth was sooooooo much more powerful than smoking. Not even comparable. I instantly knew my life would never be the same. Within a few months I lost my job, got a felony, and then was in rehab. Anyone reading this...do NOT shoot up meth or any drug. It will ruin your life and it’s so hard on your body. Do NOT do it.
I didn't give up. I never quit. I'm proof that drugs don't find their terminus in death and depression. 19 years later and going strong. You count your years sober like it's some kind of triumph: I count my years still alive. Narcos and drugs are like Scylla and Charybdis: it kills 99 out of every 100 people who try to get by it. But that isn't because the drug is evil, but because humans are weak. And that 1 guy? He masters the dragon, the dragon does not master him. You weren't that guy. That's fine. But I was. I look up videos like this to see the guys demonizing the substances. Mine was heroin. Mine is heroin. Heroin? Heroin gave birth to the greatest artistic and philosophic movement in history: Romanticism. Nietzsche, Yeats, Poe, Beethoven, Proust... all those guys- daily users of opium. Hendrix- you think that was pot? That was Opium's modern face: heroin. Lol. Pot, really? Opium ruled the great era of artistic and philosophic development on the continent. That substance was the philosopher's stone, the "sophic hydrolith of the wise", the prime-materia. The all-medicine, as Paracelsus called it. It still is. Does it kill 99 out of every 100 dweebs who try to use it? Yeah, it does. And that's a good thing. That the Muse weeds out the losers: that, my friend, is a good thing. Stop denying what and who you are. You're enlightened. You felt what your own neurology is capable of without the restrictions set in place by Nature and mankind's little "civilization". Nature designed your nervous system to perpetuate a genetic code and nothing more, to be its mindless servant; and mankind laid out a civilization for you just to pacify you with stupid distractions so it could extract every ounce of material value it could out of you, like a body does to its HIGHLY EXPENDABLE red blood cells- that's it; it did not intend you to be the brain or the lungs or even the effin' kidneys. Why don't you take that nervous system into your own hands and bend it to YOUR will? I'd recommend you go out and start copping immediately after reading this and leave the little human world behind, like I know you once did. Your fellow man doesn't have your back, my friend. What did these talking monkeys ever do for you or give you? You're going to conform yourself to them: to them and their little, what do they call it, a 'world'? I piss their world. You think God sides with this new Sodom and Gomorrah? Really? I wish I could resurrect Abraham himself just to watch him piss all over this nonsense. You think God sides with these people? You think God sides with this? Then you're on something stronger than I ever imagined. Go ahead and tell me the name of whatever that new drug is that you're on, but whatever you do, stop asking for permission from these little hairless apes.
@@tylerchambers6246 Daaaamn I felt that bro. Very well spoken. We have the same mindset except I'm on the other side of the fence now. I could get high even if I wanted to because of a heart problem but the 10 years I was doing it was a blast and brought forth eye opening epiphanes every second through my adventures. Everything u said tho is true and hardly none can relate or understand its depth
I relapsed yesterday after 9 months. within 12 hours i lost my job, spend my entire savings at the casino and tore my skin apart. Someone learn from my mistakes, if youre about to pick up be prepared to lose everything.
Very good. The only thing I'd disagree with is (with my first hand experience in mind) IV meth use produces a primary rush and high that is almost incomparable to smoking it. For a moment it feels like an entirely different drug. IV is incredibly more powerful than smoking therefore it produces a better euphoria and longer effects but the side effects both short and long term are much worse as well
Also the myth that people will obviously get AIDS or Hep C is ridiculously considering how careful you are. If you know what you're doing and only use the needle once and once only and always clean your tools the likelihood of getting any of these diseases is minimal. Nobody knows better than the user themselves. Get your facts right next time please😮
as a recovering IV user who shot for years, absolutely. Shooting ice is a whole nother ball game than any other ROA. Shooting it is soooo much more euphoric and addictive, and the way this guy describes the rush doesn't do it justice. The rush from shooting it is the period of time you go from baseline to peak high and the feeling of "rushing" that comes along with it as you reach an extreme state of high in a matter of a minute or two.
Also... An important factor they don't teach in NA or Rehab is that relapse is a part of recovery. When I would relapse, I would stay in that mentality and continue to use for long periods of time because of the way NA and some rehabs condition you during recovery. And I was in agony during a relapse because it is not accepted or recognized that relapse is a huge part of recovery. Once I internalized that concept, my relapse time would gradually reduce. Nothing is impossible! You are limitless! Statistically speaking, do you know how many addicts recover and stay sober their first try? Yeah, slim to none. If it worked the first time, every time, there wouldn't be rehabs or NA groups to attend. The drug industry would significantly diminish if it worked that way. So to anyone out there struggling, remember this... Relapse is a part of the recovery journey. Not everyone relapses. But your journey is just that. Yours! No one can tell you not to detour off the path or stop focusing on the goal. Their story is not yours and yours is not theirs. But that doesn't mean your story doesn't deserve a chapter in the book! 😉 You are the author. Keep writing, my loves! Keep dreaming of that life! Eventually you'll stop being pushed by your problems and you will start being led by your dreams!
You Angel I needed your interpretation. When relapsing I beat myself up,almost to the point of thinking I can't recover. But you are right! We all have our own journey. I do want a life so bad. I have beautiful plans I love everyone and want to be a light in all ways I am able. PEACE LOVE AND STRENGHTH!
Exactly! Although there are so many factors that go into everyone's addiction, one thing remains and that is that, "Addiction is a CHRONIC RELAPSING disorder." It's just part of the cycle.
It CAN be a part of recovery: I’m relieved you clarified that. Now I agree with you 100%, I’m in the beginning of year 4 in recovery woohoo!🎉❤ Stay strong everybody, opinions are fine but we are all on the same team! ❤🎉
Hi Dr. B I'm Stevie been off of meth for 1month and 7days thank you for your program on RUclips it's been helping me a lot by listening to you and also by the Lord's help too.
I am struggling with staying sober. You're not alone with this. Thank you doc for not being mean and cruel about this. I'm terrified of needles. I just smoke it
God is good, he will always love you no matter what, believe in him, believe in yourself and you will find your light that never stops shining, it got dimmer but it never went out! Stay Happy, Healthy & Safe dear one. ❤
I was having this constant and unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across Ted Winston, a very intelligent mycologist, He saved my life honestly.
I don't understand it. I tried it a few times and though while it felt good while I was high, i felt like shit for 3 or 4 days. I had a good friend that lost the best job he ever had and chose to stay in his room and masturbate rather than do anything remotely social or fun. It makes no sense to me.
The way it affects your dopamine receptors is a whole load of another story.. you could literally Mostar ate the whole day without noticing how fast time is moving.
I think it all depends. I used too smoke heavily and get street pressed meth pills, ofcourse the pills didn’t kick in instantly like smoking it. But it only took about 30 mins tops, and when they kicked in the rush was much more intense than smoking too me. The euphoria was also much more intense, you were insanely energized but you also were much more upbeat and cheerful than smoking. Smoking gave me more of a “tweaking” high. There were times I’d be blowing big clouds and think too myself I need too get just a little higher it’s not hittin me while I’m lookin Out of my windows for no reason at all and doin 20 things at once 😂. I never banged meth (shot up) but everyone I know that has says it’s by far the most intense rush, as your shooting up and the initial hit of the Rush kicks in you can loose your hearing for a few seconds & it gets black and fuzzy, people have been known too have orgasms on themselves, now that’s insanely intense lol. I never got that deep but that’s one drug that’s so powerful your getting caught up and trapped in it without you even realizing or just simply not giving a shit what anyone thinks. It will snatch your soul if your not careful.
Thanks for sharing! I have a needle fixation that I'm working on (hahaha very funny I didn't know my eyes were brown) but I'll agree that bombing meth leads to a high that would floor me even in the depths of IV use! We got dis
@@LamarlovesJesussounds like homie just put his faith in himself. As he is responsible for quitting. That's how I quit heroin. I don't recall a short black guy who is a physical representation of God coming down to remove the sickness. I think I got caught serving crack. Some bitch ate it so I didn't catch that charge but they wanted me to. So I ended up getting through withdrawal in jail. So being physically locked up by other humans for providing a molecule (which is made of particles that were made by God according to the Bible, that's the only role he plays in the dope game, he gave us the building blocks for chemist's to make us money 😂) to another human who wanted the molecule. But lady in the backseat ate the molecule to save us all. Went to hospital. She got distribution lol, me and my war buddy got unlawful carrying. We're allowed to own firearms.... But apparently the pimple faced cop who was trying so hard not to shoot me as he's giving me conflicting instructions is more qualified than me and my boy who have shot Arabs in the fucking face. Where's god?😂 Lmao. Best part is the only reason the cop was so cautious is because we fucking told him out of curteousy as he was walking up. He had a fucking panic attack and we're just trying to let him grab the gun lol.
Hello Doc, I knew this middle-aged man who was addicted to cocaine big time, he was a several a day user, he banged it (used a needle) his preference as cocaine but would shoot other drugs that were injectable. Everytime people was around him socially all he would talk about is the drug, the amount it’s sold in, how it’s made, etc…. Omg it was so depressing and boring visiting with him, he made a comment that I will never forget, he said “I will shoot peanut butter in my veins before I would do without” he was serious too, that’s when I knew his addiction was very deep. So sad…. Last time I heard he was he was in jail for a long time.
Doctor B. I was just talking to a widow the other day who was married to a guy I went to high school with. This guy was a great guy. He started using the shake and bake meth and then graduated to making it the same way and selling it. He became so addicted he took a gun and his 3 year old daughter and took off saying he was going to commit suicide, and the state police stopped him, and he pulled this revolver on the police, and they shot him like 13 times. Of course, it was justified, but so sad. Thank god his wife got help and they are doing great today, and his daughter is a straight A student, and everyone is well. Just shows how addictive Meth can be. Plus, he had depression problems, and this of course made it worse after he self medicated. Sad sad sad. Great videos doc. Thank you for this information that needs to be heard and seen. 💖🤙💖🤙
smoking meth was the most addictive thing i ever did, its much more exciting than alcohol. so much that i nearly stopped drinking and i previously had a drinking problem. Due to the increasing anxiety and concern for my heart health i gradually stopped meth and cut off meth using friends. Its just not worth it any more. Plus my cousin died of a cardiac arrest while using meth. It all just put me off big time. Now i just enjoy a fairly healthy life, working, training....maybe just a couple of drinks and some valium now and then.
Well NEVER shoot it up man. IV meth is insanely more powerful than smoking. Like 2 different drugs. First time I shot up meth in 2014 I instantly knew my life would never be the same. Lost my great job, got a felony, and ended up in rehab a few months later. To this day it’s hard to stay away from and I have dreams about shooting up meth. STAY AWAY
Crazy I’m also in recovery after smoking it for 25 years my teeth are gone but I was a bad alcoholic an I checked cope long cut but with my drug use it weird it was like the drugs just took over I’m three years sober from drugs an going on ten years sober from drinking and chewing keep up the good work people
Someone once described it like this, smoking it last 3 hours per hit while injecting it last 3 days and that injecting half a point is like smoking a whole gram in one hit
I'm a peer outreach worker in Canada, i recently learned that shooting up methamphetamine can sometimes cause burning around the injection area. Meth is already bad enough but it can sometimes be "dirty", it's very acidic and it don't matter the method it's used, it's a lot worse on the body. Someone explained to me how hard that is on the veins and the visible marks it leaves. Another person i know that does shoot up meth says its better since they are not destroying their lungs. Maybe he tells himself this to feel better about that specific method of use, idk.
I disagree that smoking and shooting give the same high and that smoking is a sudden rush, I found snorting was an extreme sudden rush while smoking it was slower, ingesting was the slowest.
From my 30 years of meth use. Never smoked it. Always injected. The folk I know who smoke the shit are way more addicted and messed up. They smoke it like weed. Cone every hour or so. To much over to short of time and they go off rocker. A mate stared smoking coz his Mrs didn't like shooting yet she's cooked. After two weeks he's asking me if I'm craving the shit and having withdrawal. Nope I said. I'd do half a g a week to his 2or 3 Grams a week. Crazy. Has been 3years now since I have any meth.
@@mongogojjo5944 Can’t argue with you. Meth was always my least favorite drug to buy and I hated going around meth addicts. Those sunken faces and dead eyes. That said, a dope sick heroin addict, can be a very desperate dangerous thing.
@@ryanleblanc6817 yep, Heroin addicts are by far the most untrustworthy... I got friends that smoke meth and I can trust them in my home without having to worry about my kids piggy bank getting stolen...
@@ryanleblanc6817 I know more functional amphetamine, and methamphetamine, users than opiods, base, coke, benzos, alcohol, and alcohol COMBINED And seems like the warped, port addicted, sex addicted meth heads are almost ALWAYS, without precedent, smokers. Smokers can't get enough Seems to release less dopamine, more norepinephrine and also enough serotonin to cause e Sleepiness and muscle tiredness without adding any euphoria. Their skin was worse. Impulse control. Standards of who they sexed w and associated with. Their iq seemed to lowered as well as their sense of style, hygiene, and passion for hobbies and life in general. Always negative and pessimistic. Never good things to say of any1. I know some Amp heads who bang it that belong in psychology wards don't get me wrong. But a good friend of mine makes 660k a year. He shoots way above threshold/micro doses but below doses that are hefty neurotoxin wise.....he'll he does it before every "procedure" Others that do it 2, 3 times a quarter year, as a functional tool to help intellectual and artistic pursuits during mental and writing blocks, decent blue collar folks who NEED it for multiple shifts due to the hard ti.es. They give it to downed US fighter pilots. Somalians overall Rangers when a certain avean theme-titled military helicopter was downed near the Sudan In Africa . They were chewing "Khat" the closest, natural, s psychoactive compound with stimulating effects strikingly similar fight/flight/euphoriant mixture and dopanergic/norepinephrine boosting pharmacological effects albeit weaker, undeniably uncanny to its synthetic, more reinforcing big brkthers aka Amps, cocaine, ethyllphenydiaten,.....think more energizing and recreational than caffeine, but less so than Ritalin, itself a poor man's get high drug in comparison to coke, amphetamine og, let alone Methamphetamine .. The most powerful desirable true stimulant drug of abuse known to man. Anything heavier gear wise, meth is strong enough ( MDPV makes speed look like altoids its rush is so "gzzzzzzkkkkk" but then your impulse center can't stop urging you to do more even though MDPV not only reaped the dopamine harvest of your brain, it salted the fields. So 1st day You think its meth. Then u notice you get a bell ringer and the most intense cocaine hcl rush who've ever known rush rapes you for the astoundingly long rush of 45 mins or so.. Then you feel a mild Amp high like you shot 30,45 of Addy for another 90 minutes. Then your awake for 19 more days bc you find you can't stop sniffing the shit even though you know it's effects aren't diminishing, their dysphoric. I even did no more for 4 days. 4th night had bemzos. No sleep.. finally I was think in of going to hospital when my bro showed with a bag of good but dirty shake n bake racemic meth. Didn't stay awake long enough to know if I was rushed or got the tingles or no. Fell asleep w works in my arm after banging 200 mgs of tina( in weight/product, not adding in cut) Snorting meth' strictly functional Oral- awesome. 2nd best to iv imo Anal- 3rd best. Overwhelmingly iv Smoking- reminds me of what people on 95 pots of coffee would be like. Tasteless ass. Anxiety prone. Paranoia. Dry skin. Waste of funds go through WAY more Half point of meth iv equals a quarter gram smoked, 1.5 puts sniffed to me
Injecting it is a stronger high. And the high usually last longer and that initial rush is stronger. And I find certain people don’t react as strongly to smoking it as others. Some people don’t really get all that good of a high from smoking it unless they smoke a lot.
I just want to comment on the "rush" topic. You say that smoking and injecting meth both result in a rush. I am skeptical of that statement only because personally I have never experienced a "RUSH" from smoking meth - only from injecting it. That rush is what most users are after - until you have experienced the rush from doing too much in a single shot. It's different from overdosing on opiates because you are conscious thru it all and very frightening. Physical symptoms hit fast - ears ringing, vision blurs, heartrate escalates even some palpitations, body temperature increases until you're sweating profusely, nausea builds rapidly to needing to vomit immediately (which scares you because at this point you are still trapped in your mind during the rush and you are unable to focus on your surroundings or make your body obey what your mind is telling it to do. Such as get to the bathroom or a sink or wastebasket to vomit in. I remember thinking that if I could not get my mouth to obey my mind's command to open before my stomach decides to expel its contents then I am in real danger of aspirating some of it back into my lungs. I had a friend almost die from a similar experience which resulted in some brain death (which fortunately was reversible) and a form of pneumonia due to pieces of undigested food that aspirated into her lungs which could not be dislodged therefore causing irreversible damage. Experiencing all of these things at once still wasn't the scariest part of this. The worst part was feeling as if I was racing towards a cliff and that I was unable to do anything to stop it from happening. I remember wondering how far I will need to fall to die instantly? If it is a long way down will I die of a heart attack before I hit the ground? Will it hurt? Or what if I don't die and end up as a vegetable with every bone broken in my body. It seemed as if this rush went on forever but in reality it only lasted a few minutes. Once the rush reached its peak it was similar to being on a rollercoaster at the top of the highest point where is pauses for a second before you go over the edge and your falling but this time you know it's okay because you are now aware of what is actually happening- the rush is wearing off and you are finally able to become aware of what is going on with your body first then after that comes awareness of your surroundings. This was actually the last time I ever injected meth. The feeling of having no control over myself. Of trying to make body parts respond to my mind's orders seemed as if I was detached from my body because these are things you do without giving any thought to. You do not need to tell yourself to breath, your body just does it without your mind telling it to. I cannot speak for anyone else but this is something I have no desire to experience ever again.
As a recovered meth addict 3+ years of use. Now coming up on 4 years sober. I can say from experience and anyone that's used meth knows that there is absolutely zero comparison between smoking and injecting. Not even close. IV is like a completely different drug. Just wanted to say that because the differences are unlike any other drug even though it is the same drug. Such a powerful substance and anyone that's had their " bell rung " by a big shot of meth knows what I mean. Good video, but I feel like not knowing first hand information can be a bit misleading. Other than that. Subbed.
Totally agree. Shooting is like its a totally different drug and its something that someone who has only ever smoked it will never really understand.....
@@amandaburtin7331 and its always been a rule of mine that id never try influence someone who only smokes it to try shooting up if they wanna try it they can do so but ill never help nor persuade them. That being said its hard not to want to tell them they've got no idea what theyre missing out on! Ive done meth for around 15years now, the last 5 years by IV only and since the first time i tried it that way ive never been able to go back to just smoking it. Almost feels like a waste of time and gear to do so. Not only that the first cpl of minutes of pure euphoria after a shot is the best feeling.... not quiet as good as sex but a close second! Haha
@@Bradzhamo2781 I am the same way I won't try to encourage anyone to do it that way cuz I know it's a whole different ball game and after I did it that way I really didn't want to go back to smoking it. I'm over a year sober from meth now.
you've got such great content and you NEED to grow your channel somehow..theres many out there who need to watch your videos because they so informative
Great continent? He missed the biggest point of the question. It doesn’t matter which route of administration and a faster. They are both really quick. The REAL difference is that you can IV a lot more of the drug at once than you can taking a puff/smoking it. You can shoot a half gram at once if you want. It would take you all day to smoke that much. So think about it. The IV user is getting the meth smokers entire day of get high, ALL AT ONCE. IV is much more powerful. Too powerful. Humans are not supposed to experience that much happiness.
I'm terrified. I suffered a blow to my abdomen and have massively damaged something.... Back in November 2020! I am an addict so they instantly think I'm there for pain meds, even tho I tell them no, I don't want any pain pills, they don't work. I've been to the ER 4 times. The Dr several times, actually fired my old PCP and got a new one... Just got the new Dr to find out in an addict and now he treats me different. Well I guess all I can really say is I am undiagnosed and I have lost so much weight now I'm only 115 lb. I can barely breathe, whatever is swelling in my abdomen feels like it's going to pop. They finally did an ultrasound and we found out I have multiple, however many that is? Gallstones? Why didn't those show up on the CT scans and all of the imaging I have had? And if the CT missed that, all those gallstones, what else did it miss? Obviously something huge but no doctor is taking the time to figure it out and I believe it's the fact because I'm an addict.
Hi Wendy, I just wanna say you are worth it and good enough, christ Jesus will help you if you trust him and meditate with prayer. You are not alone and are deeply loved despite personal beliefs about yourself. I too have suffered long term damage specifically my breathing is jacked up and I suffer abdominal muscle discomfort and chest pressure/tightness and its from this trash substance Dr. B is talking about.
It's a completely different drug. Injecting there is something we call a rush. About 30 seconds of INTENSE effects, then a short milder high afterwards. There's no rush smoking it that is incorrect. An injection is usually about .2-.5g that hits at once. It would take an hour to smoke that much
I was listening for a while but started reading the comments and zoned out while writing this comment. This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Simple
I'm in my seventies and used heroin when I was in my twenties, I had an addiction and speed i.e. amphetamine sulfate got me off it but I ended up with a worse addiction and finished up Shooting Meth. I lost jobs and destroyed marriages but luckily I straightened up eventually..Don't do it is my advice, I survived but I'm not your average Joe, people tell me that I'm a strong man I guess that's why I'm still around.

I was addicted to meth for 7 years but thank God I only smoked it all of my friends that I smoked it with eventually graduated to shooting it but I don't like needles and I always enjoy smoking more it's like an anxiety killer along with my meth addiction so it was more of a thing I like doing
I’m so glad I’ve never used a gun (needle) to get high. To me, that shit is terrifying. I don’t neglect the fact that I’m a user, though on a recovery journey. Went to rehab for 10 months, was clean and sober till I started taking puffs of weed here and there till I became a heavy marijuana user again, blindfolded and ignorant - I felt for my own trap in not putting in enough work and by getting too comfortable in life; and it backfired pretty fucking bad! All the progress I’ve made in these last couple of years feels like I’ve made no progress at all, but I will repel all negative and opposing thoughts. To all the people, all my loved ones mostly, that look up to me and expected so much of me and I’ve let down - i tear up and cry out in pain and shame, for I am accountable and I am to blame, life is so beautiful and so short lived- it’s not a game. I just feel bad, very irrelevant and like a fraud before God, my loved ones and to those who have high hopes for me to escape out of these chains and shackles . One thing is for sure, we are not alone ( going to stop working hard to send this demon straight back to where it came from. Thank you for your help and advice. Some of these medical professionals don’t really know what they’re
I'm a recovering addict who also never used a needle so you had me from your first sentence. My bottom finally came after many years in a twelve step program. It wasn't the amount of pain and despair, we all have that. It was the moment the idea that I could be self sufficient was broken and I became willing to change. I've been where you're at and your last chapters have not been written. Godspeed. Tao.
Really informative video Dr. B, before I got clean I had used methamphetamine. I was surprised to experience the rush more quickly from smoking it than injecting it, smoking would only take a few seconds while injecting would take 15-25 seconds. Smoking was more stimulating, while injecting would make me feel extremely relaxed, smoking relaxed me too just not as much, it’s really fascinating how the route of administration changes the effects the drug has on the brain so drastically. Great video again!
@@kingoflowendpaintball1040 i know the rush from injecting is infinitely more intense than smoking, I’m just saying you id feel the effects of smoking faster than injecting
That is just not true. There is a difference between Addiction and Dependence. If you are on suboxone & people are judging you, I suggest Nicole's channel: Real_Talk_Recovery You are doing amazing. Do not let judgment push you back into Addiction.
@@DrBAddictionRecovery Absolutely. Addiction is a behavior and not determined by meds you take as you've stated before Dr B. I don't let addiction define me as well. My life is so much more than the time I was addicted.
i take methadone and have been on it for 3 years. i dont remember the last time i shot heroin. (must not have been very eventful,) i do not consider myself "sober" because of my high dose of methadone i take daily...i do however consider myself a drug addict who is on maintenance doses of opioids. Who cares what people say..suboxone gives people their lives back and prevents an opiate addicted brain from craving constantly and being set in PAWS forever.
I am trying meth right now for the first time and am right now experiencing the rush. But I have a weird bio-chemistry. I am sitting here really loving this rush a bit shocked that after trying a lot of other illegal drugs this is the first one I have enjoyed. weed and hash for me makes me paranoid, hallucinate, and lose the ability to speak cocaine turns off my emotions but not in a pleasant way and because I smoke cigarettes allows me to taste the tar in the back of my throat and makes me nauseous. Cocaine has made me vomit.
It takes years before you get that back though I will say Mary Jane really helps. And you have to not have anything to do with it or those who do. I have about ten years clean.
I've been clean for a while now. I turned 17 yesterday. I used to snort meth until I smoked it the first time. It becomes a part of You. When You quit...its like something deep down is missing. Will it ever go back to normal?
I wonder if when a potential addict is arrested and forced to learn about the body and it's reactions to certain drugs would prevent that person from taking particularly destructive drugs?
No mfs are always gonna push it bc its human nature no one wants to hear someone else tell them to not do it I unfortunately made that mistake and I wish I didnt. Bc now it's all I want.
Thanks to Jesus, jail and adult and teen challenge i am clean and ok today but I was an iv user.smoking and shooting DO NOT give you the same "flash". Iv use gives you a much stronger much different high.
Can anyone answer my question? So I was 8 months sober 😔 before relapsing again only lasted 3 days using and awake snapped out of it and went straight for the crash it was horrible 😢 I am now 5 days sober sadly but do you know if the 8 months that I had originally makes a difference?
I am now 15 days sober bien eating alot more then before and I no longer go to the gym... I go to work and just wanna binge eat and sit on the couch til a go to sleep can't wait to get back to 8 months sober again 🥲
@@souruchiha6232hey man I’m glad your still doing good keepin sober I’ve been fucking up to it’s not worth it man you ruin all your relationships just like my mom had did to me you will be so much better off sober your life is worth living I promise you.
The leap of injecting yourself for your high makes you a almost different animal to treat medically and psychology then normal people I cant agree more.
I just started using about a year ago first snorting now smoking. An tbh I dont get it. I hear about this euphoric high everyone else gets but I dont experience anything like this. I get some added energy and im awake for several days at a time but euphoria? No. I wouldn't've even say It makes me feel good. I have no loss of appetite and other than not sleeping I function and feel perfectly normal. I dont understand why it does not seem to have much of an effect on me. It cant be bad product either because I have gotten from multiple sources overtime. I would go as far as to say smoking weed had more of easily noticeable effect. With meth sometimes I dont even remember that I did it because I just feel normal. My friends quite clearly feel the effects because they act weird they move around weird they talk rapidly. An im just sort of confused as to why not much happens to me.
Well as a former iv user of meth i can say....i still have my teeth and i went through a 7g a month compared to smokers that isnt so bad its hard to quit though i find that if i get pissed off enough i can get out of bed and get things done. Yea. Im a karen now.
That's probably your heart and muscles surrounding it tensing up, chest tightness is normal. It's hard to overdose unless you are a new user or take a stupid amount, and it will happen in the first few hours, the first time I did it I was freaking out a day later thinking I was ODing cuz my chest hurt lol I was fine.
I just want to say that I Think there should be more research For medications to suppress methamphetamine Addiction. I don't think it is taken as seriously as opioid Addiction. Just because there are no seizures, vomiting, Shakes or anything like that involved with detoxing off of methamphetamines. The psychosis after methamphetamine abuse is horrible!!! I think it is understudied and undertreated !! Please help others speak more on meth abuse and ACTUAL treatments!
GBL is converted into GHB in the body. GBL is one of the two chemical components of GHB. The effects of GBL and GHB are very similar, but GBL is stronger than GHB and therefore even more difficult to dose. Reacting GBL with sodium hydroxide produces GHB.
Meth doesn’t really produce euphoria for me it just makes me focused and awake but I was also on adderall for years so maybe because I have adhd it just. Hits me differently than people who get hooked on it but cocaine is a completely different story it was a nemesis I’m glad I shook off!! I’ll do a bump every now and then if someone lays it out but it does not cause me to go off the rails unless I inject or smoke it!! Thus I do nether
I am a meth addict but im clean for 4years I started driving a truck in my late 20s i used ephedrine and after I got out of trucking I just went to meth
Hey doc,question Big one for me honestly can a person stop taking suboxon or is it something once you start you can't stop.One of those things your stuck on
Oh... they call that the flash. I totally would have called it that. I went to Mexico for vacation a few weeks ago. I decided to try Molly for the first time before going to a bathhouse. Normally, nothing stronger than booze for me. No one was at the bathhouse so I went to lay down. I have a vague recollection of a man coming over to me. I believe he offered to shoot me up with meth. Since Molly is very agreeable, I let him do it to me (giggle, giggle. Eye roll. I should have read about all the effects of Molly first.) Yeah, 3 or 4 days feeling like trash. A full week of barely able to walk. This does a number on the veins in your legs! And oh yeah, I want nothing to do with fake sugar anymore... That's what meth smells like. Bluch... When I listen to your video, I can't help but think you think the difference between smoking and shooting is a moral difference. Is that true? Does the addict think its moral or even more desperate? In my case, with all the stuff that happened after that night, the guy was clearly trying to addict me, so I'd sell for him in the US. While it did take some internal hoodspa to bring me back to my senses, I'm not entirely sure I understand the allure.
BLAH I roll a bowl about 2 or 3 times a year, depends on whats going on. Its cool for the first 5 or 6 hrs,, after that I get sick of it and cant tolerate the thought of doing anymore.
Watch the video to learn how to quit meth for good! ➡️ ruclips.net/video/Hh755Ob54gI/видео.html
This is a good video as well. Thank you Dr B for all you do sir!!
.I’m sorry doc but you are missing the most important aspect. The most important difference is the amount/volume of the drug that can be introduced into your system. An intravenous user can dissolve a 1/4 to an entire gram of meth in water and shoot that entire amount with a 1ml syringe. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to inhale that volume of meth in one hit. Human lungs just are not big enough. It would take many hits to smoke that much. So the two ROA’s may be similar in the speed that they reach your brain, but IV allows a user to intake much more of the drug at once.
Back in 2014 I smoked meth for the first time and I did not get what the fuss was about. Then about a week later a “friend” suggested I shoot it up and unfortunately I did. It was like doing two different drugs. IV meth was sooooooo much more powerful than smoking. Not even comparable. I instantly knew my life would never be the same. Within a few months I lost my job, got a felony, and then was in rehab.
Anyone reading this...do NOT shoot up meth or any drug. It will ruin your life and it’s so hard on your body. Do NOT do it.
It' helps with pain and stress also cancer too
Ive seen all different ways to use im a recovering addict and the craziest way I seen someone put a crumb in their eye and let it dissolve ….
You forgot about butt bumping! Squirting up your butt you get high very very fast
I search this shit when I miss it. If this is you God doesn't give up until you do & he still stays with you otw out
My wife and I watch these videos when we’re smoking crack or shooting H. Like right now. She’s nodded off.
I didn't give up. I never quit. I'm proof that drugs don't find their terminus in death and depression. 19 years later and going strong. You count your years sober like it's some kind of triumph: I count my years still alive. Narcos and drugs are like Scylla and Charybdis: it kills 99 out of every 100 people who try to get by it. But that isn't because the drug is evil, but because humans are weak. And that 1 guy? He masters the dragon, the dragon does not master him. You weren't that guy. That's fine. But I was. I look up videos like this to see the guys demonizing the substances. Mine was heroin. Mine is heroin. Heroin? Heroin gave birth to the greatest artistic and philosophic movement in history: Romanticism. Nietzsche, Yeats, Poe, Beethoven, Proust... all those guys- daily users of opium. Hendrix- you think that was pot? That was Opium's modern face: heroin. Lol. Pot, really? Opium ruled the great era of artistic and philosophic development on the continent. That substance was the philosopher's stone, the "sophic hydrolith of the wise", the prime-materia. The all-medicine, as Paracelsus called it. It still is. Does it kill 99 out of every 100 dweebs who try to use it? Yeah, it does. And that's a good thing. That the Muse weeds out the losers: that, my friend, is a good thing. Stop denying what and who you are. You're enlightened. You felt what your own neurology is capable of without the restrictions set in place by Nature and mankind's little "civilization". Nature designed your nervous system to perpetuate a genetic code and nothing more, to be its mindless servant; and mankind laid out a civilization for you just to pacify you with stupid distractions so it could extract every ounce of material value it could out of you, like a body does to its HIGHLY EXPENDABLE red blood cells- that's it; it did not intend you to be the brain or the lungs or even the effin' kidneys. Why don't you take that nervous system into your own hands and bend it to YOUR will? I'd recommend you go out and start copping immediately after reading this and leave the little human world behind, like I know you once did. Your fellow man doesn't have your back, my friend. What did these talking monkeys ever do for you or give you? You're going to conform yourself to them: to them and their little, what do they call it, a 'world'? I piss their world. You think God sides with this new Sodom and Gomorrah? Really? I wish I could resurrect Abraham himself just to watch him piss all over this nonsense. You think God sides with these people? You think God sides with this? Then you're on something stronger than I ever imagined. Go ahead and tell me the name of whatever that new drug is that you're on, but whatever you do, stop asking for permission from these little hairless apes.
@@tylerchambers6246 Daaaamn I felt that bro. Very well spoken. We have the same mindset except I'm on the other side of the fence now. I could get high even if I wanted to because of a heart problem but the 10 years I was doing it was a blast and brought forth eye opening epiphanes every second through my adventures. Everything u said tho is true and hardly none can relate or understand its depth
I relapsed yesterday after 9 months. within 12 hours i lost my job, spend my entire savings at the casino and tore my skin apart. Someone learn from my mistakes, if youre about to pick up be prepared to lose everything.
@@DPapDpap Hey it's just a setback you will bounce back💪
I'm 5 months and 7 days clean today! Some days I miss it. I have vivid dreams of using still. It's a hard and long process but I'm sticking with it.
Very good. The only thing I'd disagree with is (with my first hand experience in mind) IV meth use produces a primary rush and high that is almost incomparable to smoking it. For a moment it feels like an entirely different drug. IV is incredibly more powerful than smoking therefore it produces a better euphoria and longer effects but the side effects both short and long term are much worse as well
Yeah I have only smoked it and don't plan on doing it any other way
Also the myth that people will obviously get AIDS or Hep C is ridiculously considering how careful you are. If you know what you're doing and only use the needle once and once only and always clean your tools the likelihood of getting any of these diseases is minimal. Nobody knows better than the user themselves. Get your facts right next time please😮
as a recovering IV user who shot for years, absolutely. Shooting ice is a whole nother ball game than any other ROA. Shooting it is soooo much more euphoric and addictive, and the way this guy describes the rush doesn't do it justice. The rush from shooting it is the period of time you go from baseline to peak high and the feeling of "rushing" that comes along with it as you reach an extreme state of high in a matter of a minute or two.
Fuck yeah…
Shooting either ice,coke,Crystal anything don’t take minutes…
Straight away…even half way thru if it’s hectic
That’s from past knowledge
I almost pass out from shooting it. Like exstacy pill but not. Its definitely different front smoking. Its a monster.
Also... An important factor they don't teach in NA or Rehab is that relapse is a part of recovery. When I would relapse, I would stay in that mentality and continue to use for long periods of time because of the way NA and some rehabs condition you during recovery. And I was in agony during a relapse because it is not accepted or recognized that relapse is a huge part of recovery. Once I internalized that concept, my relapse time would gradually reduce. Nothing is impossible! You are limitless! Statistically speaking, do you know how many addicts recover and stay sober their first try? Yeah, slim to none. If it worked the first time, every time, there wouldn't be rehabs or NA groups to attend. The drug industry would significantly diminish if it worked that way. So to anyone out there struggling, remember this... Relapse is a part of the recovery journey. Not everyone relapses. But your journey is just that. Yours! No one can tell you not to detour off the path or stop focusing on the goal. Their story is not yours and yours is not theirs. But that doesn't mean your story doesn't deserve a chapter in the book! 😉 You are the author. Keep writing, my loves! Keep dreaming of that life! Eventually you'll stop being pushed by your problems and you will start being led by your dreams!
You Angel I needed your interpretation. When relapsing I beat myself up,almost to the point of thinking I can't recover. But you are right! We all have our own journey. I do want a life so bad. I have beautiful plans I love everyone and want to be a light in all ways I am able. PEACE LOVE AND STRENGHTH!
Exactly! Although there are so many factors that go into everyone's addiction, one thing remains and that is that, "Addiction is a CHRONIC RELAPSING disorder." It's just part of the cycle.
Yes it is 💯
Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again put your faith in Christ…………
It CAN be a part of recovery: I’m relieved you clarified that. Now I agree with you 100%, I’m in the beginning of year 4 in recovery woohoo!🎉❤ Stay strong everybody, opinions are fine but we are all on the same team! ❤🎉
Hi Dr. B
I'm Stevie been off of meth for 1month and 7days thank you for your program on RUclips it's been helping me a lot by listening to you and also by the Lord's help too.
You are strong, you have already won this fight 😉
One day at a time 😉
Thank you 😊
I am struggling with staying sober. You're not alone with this. Thank you doc for not being mean and cruel about this. I'm terrified of needles. I just smoke it
Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again put your faith in Christ…………
God is good, he will always love you no matter what, believe in him, believe in yourself and you will find your light that never stops shining, it got dimmer but it never went out! Stay Happy, Healthy & Safe dear one. ❤
I just started working in substance abuse/ mental health and cant tell you how happy i am to have found your channel
🙏🙏
I'm so glad I came across you on tiktok. I absolutely love your attitude towards addiction. Your content is brilliant.
Psychedelics are just an amazing discovery. It's quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress..saved my life.
I'm feeling the same way too. I put so much on my plate and it definitelv affects mv stress and anxietv levels
I was having this constant and unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across Ted Winston, a very intelligent mycologist, He saved my life honestly.
Is he on insta ?
HE’S MOSTLY ON INSTAGRAM, USING THE USERNAME

I don't understand it. I tried it a few times and though while it felt good while I was high, i felt like shit for 3 or 4 days. I had a good friend that lost the best job he ever had and chose to stay in his room and masturbate rather than do anything remotely social or fun. It makes no sense to me.
The way it affects your dopamine receptors is a whole load of another story.. you could literally Mostar ate the whole day without noticing how fast time is moving.
Makes perfect sense
I think it all depends. I used too smoke heavily and get street pressed meth pills, ofcourse the pills didn’t kick in instantly like smoking it.
But it only took about 30 mins tops, and when they kicked in the rush was much more intense than smoking too me. The euphoria was also much more intense, you were insanely energized but you also were much more upbeat and cheerful than smoking.
Smoking gave me more of a “tweaking” high.
There were times I’d be blowing big clouds and think too myself I need too get just a little higher it’s not hittin me while I’m lookin
Out of my windows for no reason at all and doin 20 things at once 😂.
I never banged meth (shot up) but everyone I know that has says it’s by far the most intense rush, as your shooting up and the initial hit of the Rush kicks in you can loose your hearing for a few seconds & it gets black and fuzzy, people have been known too have orgasms on themselves, now that’s insanely intense lol.
I never got that deep but that’s one drug that’s so powerful your getting caught up and trapped in it without you even realizing or just simply not giving a shit what anyone thinks.
It will snatch your soul if your not careful.
You took the words right out of my mouth
Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again put your faith in Christ…………
I have lost my soul
Thanks for sharing! I have a needle fixation that I'm working on (hahaha very funny I didn't know my eyes were brown) but I'll agree that bombing meth leads to a high that would floor me even in the depths of IV use! We got dis
@@LamarlovesJesussounds like homie just put his faith in himself. As he is responsible for quitting. That's how I quit heroin. I don't recall a short black guy who is a physical representation of God coming down to remove the sickness. I think I got caught serving crack. Some bitch ate it so I didn't catch that charge but they wanted me to. So I ended up getting through withdrawal in jail. So being physically locked up by other humans for providing a molecule (which is made of particles that were made by God according to the Bible, that's the only role he plays in the dope game, he gave us the building blocks for chemist's to make us money 😂) to another human who wanted the molecule. But lady in the backseat ate the molecule to save us all. Went to hospital. She got distribution lol, me and my war buddy got unlawful carrying. We're allowed to own firearms.... But apparently the pimple faced cop who was trying so hard not to shoot me as he's giving me conflicting instructions is more qualified than me and my boy who have shot Arabs in the fucking face. Where's god?😂
Lmao. Best part is the only reason the cop was so cautious is because we fucking told him out of curteousy as he was walking up. He had a fucking panic attack and we're just trying to let him grab the gun lol.
I never liked to tell what it felt like for fear that they would want to! About ten years clean. You can do it to!😎
Hello Doc, I knew this middle-aged man who was addicted to cocaine big time, he was a several a day user, he banged it (used a needle) his preference as cocaine but would shoot other drugs that were injectable. Everytime people was around him socially all he would talk about is the drug, the amount it’s sold in, how it’s made, etc…. Omg it was so depressing and boring visiting with him, he made a comment that I will never forget, he said “I will shoot peanut butter in my veins before I would do without” he was serious too, that’s when I knew his addiction was very deep. So sad…. Last time I heard he was he was in jail for a long time.
Doctor B. I was just talking to a widow the other day who was married to a guy I went to high school with. This guy was a great guy. He started using the shake and bake meth and then graduated to making it the same way and selling it. He became so addicted he took a gun and his 3 year old daughter and took off saying he was going to commit suicide, and the state police stopped him, and he pulled this revolver on the police, and they shot him like 13 times. Of course, it was justified, but so sad. Thank god his wife got help and they are doing great today, and his daughter is a straight A student, and everyone is well. Just shows how addictive Meth can be. Plus, he had depression problems, and this of course made it worse after he self medicated. Sad sad sad.
Great videos doc. Thank you for this information that needs to be heard and seen. 💖🤙💖🤙
Yes, I have heard so many stories like this one. It truly is a dangerous drug.
This makes me terrified for my husband 😢
The person I was involved with was an iv user, I always saw a change when he Injected, I smoked it was like we were on two different drugs.
smoking meth was the most addictive thing i ever did, its much more exciting than alcohol. so much that i nearly stopped drinking and i previously had a drinking problem. Due to the increasing anxiety and concern for my heart health i gradually stopped meth and cut off meth using friends. Its just not worth it any more. Plus my cousin died of a cardiac arrest while using meth. It all just put me off big time. Now i just enjoy a fairly healthy life, working, training....maybe just a couple of drinks and some valium now and then.
Well NEVER shoot it up man. IV meth is insanely more powerful than smoking. Like 2 different drugs. First time I shot up meth in 2014 I instantly knew my life would never be the same. Lost my great job, got a felony, and ended up in rehab a few months later. To this day it’s hard to stay away from and I have dreams about shooting up meth. STAY AWAY
@@ryanleblanc6817 yep i actually have done it that way, twice. it was great but Decided it wasnt
for me. iv been very lucky to escape it. Thank God
Crazy I’m also in recovery after smoking it for 25 years my teeth are gone but I was a bad alcoholic an I checked cope long cut but with my drug use it weird it was like the drugs just took over I’m three years sober from drugs an going on ten years sober from drinking and chewing keep up the good work people
Someone once described it like this, smoking it last 3 hours per hit while injecting it last 3 days and that injecting half a point is like smoking a whole gram in one hit
Sorta yeah
Drugs man
I would say this is 99% over exaggerated...so basically I as a ex user for both, would disagree
That's wrong
Meth doesn't last 3 days no matter how you take it. PPL who don't sleep from meth for 3 days prob did it everyday
I'm a peer outreach worker in Canada, i recently learned that shooting up methamphetamine can sometimes cause burning around the injection area. Meth is already bad enough but it can sometimes be "dirty", it's very acidic and it don't matter the method it's used, it's a lot worse on the body. Someone explained to me how hard that is on the veins and the visible marks it leaves. Another person i know that does shoot up meth says its better since they are not destroying their lungs. Maybe he tells himself this to feel better about that specific method of use, idk.
I disagree that smoking and shooting give the same high and that smoking is a sudden rush, I found snorting was an extreme sudden rush while smoking it was slower, ingesting was the slowest.
Another great vid Dr B, always informative. Respect from Australia.
Thankyou Melissa!
From my 30 years of meth use. Never smoked it. Always injected.
The folk I know who smoke the shit are way more addicted and messed up. They smoke it like weed. Cone every hour or so. To much over to short of time and they go off rocker. A mate stared smoking coz his Mrs didn't like shooting yet she's cooked. After two weeks he's asking me if I'm craving the shit and having withdrawal. Nope I said. I'd do half a g a week to his 2or 3 Grams a week. Crazy.
Has been 3years now since I have any meth.
Way to go.
Meth addict looking down on other meth addicts LOL. Congrats on your 3 yrs though. I fight meth addiction too. We can do it.
@@mongogojjo5944 Can’t argue with you. Meth was always my least favorite drug to buy and I hated going around meth addicts. Those sunken faces and dead eyes. That said, a dope sick heroin addict, can be a very desperate dangerous thing.
@@ryanleblanc6817 yep, Heroin addicts are by far the most untrustworthy... I got friends that smoke meth and I can trust them in my home without having to worry about my kids piggy bank getting stolen...
@@ryanleblanc6817 I know more functional amphetamine, and methamphetamine, users than opiods, base, coke, benzos, alcohol, and alcohol COMBINED
And seems like the warped, port addicted, sex addicted meth heads are almost ALWAYS, without precedent, smokers.
Smokers can't get enough
Seems to release less dopamine, more norepinephrine and also enough serotonin to cause e
Sleepiness and muscle tiredness without adding any euphoria.
Their skin was worse. Impulse control. Standards of who they sexed w and associated with. Their iq seemed to lowered as well as their sense of style, hygiene, and passion for hobbies and life in general. Always negative and pessimistic. Never good things to say of any1.
I know some Amp heads who bang it that belong in psychology wards don't get me wrong.
But a good friend of mine makes 660k a year. He shoots way above threshold/micro doses but below doses that are hefty neurotoxin wise.....he'll he does it before every "procedure"
Others that do it 2, 3 times a quarter year, as a functional tool to help intellectual and artistic pursuits during mental and writing blocks, decent blue collar folks who NEED it for multiple shifts due to the hard ti.es.
They give it to downed US fighter pilots.

The most powerful desirable true stimulant drug of abuse known to man. Anything heavier gear wise, meth is strong enough
( MDPV makes speed look like altoids its rush is so "gzzzzzzkkkkk" but then your impulse center can't stop urging you to do more even though MDPV not only reaped the dopamine harvest of your brain, it salted the fields. So 1st day
You think its meth. Then u notice you get a bell ringer and the most intense cocaine hcl rush who've ever known rush rapes you for the astoundingly long rush of 45 mins or so.. Then you feel a mild Amp high like you shot 30,45 of Addy for another 90 minutes. Then your awake for 19 more days bc you find you can't stop sniffing the shit even though you know it's effects aren't diminishing, their dysphoric. I even did no more for 4 days. 4th night had bemzos. No sleep.. finally I was think in of going to hospital when my bro showed with a bag of good but dirty shake n bake racemic meth. Didn't stay awake long enough to know if I was rushed or got the tingles or no. Fell asleep w works in my arm after banging 200 mgs of tina( in weight/product, not adding in cut)
Snorting meth' strictly functional
Oral- awesome. 2nd best to iv imo
Anal- 3rd best. Overwhelmingly iv
Smoking- reminds me of what people on 95 pots of coffee would be like.
Tasteless ass.
Anxiety prone. Paranoia.
Dry skin. Waste of funds go through WAY more
Half point of meth iv equals a quarter gram smoked, 1.5 puts sniffed to me
Injecting it is a stronger high. And the high usually last longer and that initial rush is stronger. And I find certain people don’t react as strongly to smoking it as others. Some people don’t really get all that good of a high from smoking it unless they smoke a lot.
Thank you
I just want to comment on the "rush" topic. You say that smoking and injecting meth both result in a rush. I am skeptical of that statement only because personally I have never experienced a "RUSH" from smoking meth - only from injecting it. That rush is what most users are after - until you have experienced the rush from doing too much in a single shot. It's different from overdosing on opiates because you are conscious thru it all and very frightening. Physical symptoms hit fast - ears ringing, vision blurs, heartrate escalates even some palpitations, body temperature increases until you're sweating profusely, nausea builds rapidly to needing to vomit immediately (which scares you because at this point you are still trapped in your mind during the rush and you are unable to focus on your surroundings or make your body obey what your mind is telling it to do. Such as get to the bathroom or a sink or wastebasket to vomit in. I remember thinking that if I could not get my mouth to obey my mind's command to open before my stomach decides to expel its contents then I am in real danger of aspirating some of it back into my lungs. I had a friend almost die from a similar experience which resulted in some brain death (which fortunately was reversible) and a form of pneumonia due to pieces of undigested food that aspirated into her lungs which could not be dislodged therefore causing irreversible damage. Experiencing all of these things at once still wasn't the scariest part of this. The worst part was feeling as if I was racing towards a cliff and that I was unable to do anything to stop it from happening. I remember wondering how far I will need to fall to die instantly? If it is a long way down will I die of a heart attack before I hit the ground? Will it hurt? Or what if I don't die and end up as a vegetable with every bone broken in my body. It seemed as if this rush went on forever but in reality it only lasted a few minutes. Once the rush reached its peak it was similar to being on a rollercoaster at the top of the highest point where is pauses for a second before you go over the edge and your falling but this time you know it's okay because you are now aware of what is actually happening- the rush is wearing off and you are finally able to become aware of what is going on with your body first then after that comes awareness of your surroundings. This was actually the last time I ever injected meth. The feeling of having no control over myself. Of trying to make body parts respond to my mind's orders seemed as if I was detached from my body because these are things you do without giving any thought to. You do not need to tell yourself to breath, your body just does it without your mind telling it to. I cannot speak for anyone else but this is something I have no desire to experience ever again.
@@rhondasmith5675 really?
As a recovered meth addict 3+ years of use. Now coming up on 4 years sober. I can say from experience and anyone that's used meth knows that there is absolutely zero comparison between smoking and injecting. Not even close. IV is like a completely different drug. Just wanted to say that because the differences are unlike any other drug even though it is the same drug. Such a powerful substance and anyone that's had their " bell rung " by a big shot of meth knows what I mean. Good video, but I feel like not knowing first hand information can be a bit misleading. Other than that. Subbed.
Totally agree. Shooting is like its a totally different drug and its something that someone who has only ever smoked it will never really understand.....
I agree shooting is WAY different from smoking.
@@amandaburtin7331 and its always been a rule of mine that id never try influence someone who only smokes it to try shooting up if they wanna try it they can do so but ill never help nor persuade them. That being said its hard not to want to tell them they've got no idea what theyre missing out on! Ive done meth for around 15years now, the last 5 years by IV only and since the first time i tried it that way ive never been able to go back to just smoking it. Almost feels like a waste of time and gear to do so. Not only that the first cpl of minutes of pure euphoria after a shot is the best feeling.... not quiet as good as sex but a close second! Haha
@@Bradzhamo2781 I am the same way I won't try to encourage anyone to do it that way cuz I know it's a whole different ball game and after I did it that way I really didn't want to go back to smoking it. I'm over a year sober from meth now.
and what about the difference in shooting up cocaine powder/smoking crack. I read that the difference is not that big in that case.
you've got such great content and you NEED to grow your channel somehow..theres many out there who need to watch your videos because they so informative
Great continent? He missed the biggest point of the question. It doesn’t matter which route of administration and a faster. They are both really quick. The REAL difference is that you can IV a lot more of the drug at once than you can taking a puff/smoking it. You can shoot a half gram at once if you want. It would take you all day to smoke that much.
So think about it. The IV user is getting the meth smokers entire day of get high, ALL AT ONCE. IV is much more powerful. Too powerful. Humans are not supposed to experience that much happiness.
I have gone downhill so badly from IV use of meth. I hate how its affected my health.
You still inject it?
Gimme yo insta i can help you
Just wanted to say thank you for all the informational videos.
I'm terrified. I suffered a blow to my abdomen and have massively damaged something.... Back in November 2020! I am an addict so they instantly think I'm there for pain meds, even tho I tell them no, I don't want any pain pills, they don't work. I've been to the ER 4 times. The Dr several times, actually fired my old PCP and got a new one... Just got the new Dr to find out in an addict and now he treats me different. Well I guess all I can really say is I am undiagnosed and I have lost so much weight now I'm only 115 lb. I can barely breathe, whatever is swelling in my abdomen feels like it's going to pop. They finally did an ultrasound and we found out I have multiple, however many that is? Gallstones? Why didn't those show up on the CT scans and all of the imaging I have had? And if the CT missed that, all those gallstones, what else did it miss? Obviously something huge but no doctor is taking the time to figure it out and I believe it's the fact because I'm an addict.
That’s horrible. I’m so sorry to hear that. People are hateful towards addicts.
Hi Wendy, I just wanna say you are worth it and good enough, christ Jesus will help you if you trust him and meditate with prayer. You are not alone and are deeply loved despite personal beliefs about yourself. I too have suffered long term damage specifically my breathing is jacked up and I suffer abdominal muscle discomfort and chest pressure/tightness and its from this trash substance Dr. B is talking about.
That's what happens when you choose to be a lowlife. Too bad, so sad. 🤧
Man Dr. B you are so accurate! Thanks for the inspiration
🙏
It's a completely different drug. Injecting there is something we call a rush. About 30 seconds of INTENSE effects, then a short milder high afterwards. There's no rush smoking it that is incorrect. An injection is usually about .2-.5g that hits at once. It would take an hour to smoke that much
Unless you people want your heart to explode don't shoot a .2g like this guy says, let alone an entire .5g, that is insanely stupid.
I was listening for a while but started reading the comments and zoned out while writing this comment. This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Simple
I'm in my seventies and used heroin when I was in my twenties, I had an addiction and speed i.e. amphetamine sulfate got me off it but I ended up with a worse addiction and finished up Shooting Meth. I lost jobs and destroyed marriages but luckily I straightened up eventually..Don't do it is my advice, I survived but I'm not your average Joe, people tell me that I'm a strong man I guess that's why I'm still around.
Once people stopped buying used car stereos, is when DR. B ADDICTION really started to evolve. But if you still need a tape deck he's your man.......
This helps a lot

I was addicted to meth for 7 years but thank God I only smoked it all of my friends that I smoked it with eventually graduated to shooting it but I don't like needles and I always enjoy smoking more it's like an anxiety killer along with my meth addiction so it was more of a thing I like doing
Excellent explanation and advice for assessment. Thank You Sir.
I’m so glad I’ve never used a gun (needle) to get high. To me, that shit is terrifying. I don’t neglect the fact that I’m a user, though on a recovery journey. Went to rehab for 10 months, was clean and sober till I started taking puffs of weed here and there till I became a heavy marijuana user again, blindfolded and ignorant - I felt for my own trap in not putting in enough work and by getting too comfortable in life; and it backfired pretty fucking bad! All the progress I’ve made in these last couple of years feels like I’ve made no progress at all, but I will repel all negative and opposing thoughts. To all the people, all my loved ones mostly, that look up to me and expected so much of me and I’ve let down - i tear up and cry out in pain and shame, for I am accountable and I am to blame, life is so beautiful and so short lived- it’s not a game. I just feel bad, very irrelevant and like a fraud before God, my loved ones and to those who have high hopes for me to escape out of these chains and shackles . One thing is for sure, we are not alone ( going to stop working hard to send this demon straight back to where it came from. Thank you for your help and advice. Some of these medical professionals don’t really know what they’re
I'm a recovering addict who also never used a needle so you had me from your first sentence. My bottom finally came after many years in a twelve step program. It wasn't the amount of pain and despair, we all have that. It was the moment the idea that I could be self sufficient was broken and I became willing to change. I've been where you're at and your last chapters have not been written. Godspeed. Tao.
Really informative video Dr. B, before I got clean I had used methamphetamine. I was surprised to experience the rush more quickly from smoking it than injecting it, smoking would only take a few seconds while injecting would take 15-25 seconds. Smoking was more stimulating, while injecting would make me feel extremely relaxed, smoking relaxed me too just not as much, it’s really fascinating how the route of administration changes the effects the drug has on the brain so drastically. Great video again!
eating it is the most intense im tellin you
U tripping bro injecting meth can and will give you a feeling Iike nothing else thats why it's so addictive
@@kingoflowendpaintball1040 i know the rush from injecting is infinitely more intense than smoking, I’m just saying you id feel the effects of smoking faster than injecting
Glad to meet ya, don't want to know any of this mathed up stuff❤.
How do you feel about people saying you are not clean, sober, or dealing with your addiction when on suboxone long term?
That is just not true. There is a difference between Addiction and Dependence. If you are on suboxone & people are judging you, I suggest Nicole's channel: Real_Talk_Recovery
You are doing amazing. Do not let judgment push you back into Addiction.
Dr. B Addiction Recovery Thank you !!!
@@DrBAddictionRecovery Absolutely. Addiction is a behavior and not determined by meds you take as you've stated before Dr B.
I don't let addiction define me as well. My life is so much more than the time I was addicted.
i take methadone and have been on it for 3 years. i dont remember the last time i shot heroin. (must not have been very eventful,) i do not consider myself "sober" because of my high dose of methadone i take daily...i do however consider myself a drug addict who is on maintenance doses of opioids. Who cares what people say..suboxone gives people their lives back and prevents an opiate addicted brain from craving constantly and being set in PAWS forever.
Sober is being clean off of everything. Lmao
Thank you for your time sir. Very educational! :)
🙏
2:46 sugar rush is a myth, at least for me, I never experienced it.
I am trying meth right now for the first time and am right now experiencing the rush.
But I have a weird bio-chemistry. I am sitting here really loving this rush a bit shocked that after trying a lot of other illegal drugs this is the first one I have enjoyed.
weed and hash for me makes me paranoid, hallucinate, and lose the ability to speak
cocaine turns off my emotions but not in a pleasant way and because I smoke cigarettes allows me to taste the tar in the back of my throat and makes me nauseous. Cocaine has made me vomit.
Hard to quit it always feels like something in my head is missing 24/7.
It takes years before you get that back though I will say Mary Jane really helps. And you have to not have anything to do with it or those who do. I have about ten years clean.
I've been clean for a while now. I turned 17 yesterday. I used to snort meth until I smoked it the first time.
It becomes a part of You. When You quit...its like something deep down is missing. Will it ever go back to normal?
Take lions mane mushroom. It is one of the few things on earth that regenerates brain synapses.
@@natezosso6822do u still miss it ?!?!
I wonder if when a potential addict is arrested and forced to learn about the body and it's reactions to certain drugs would prevent that person from taking particularly destructive drugs?
No mfs are always gonna push it bc its human nature no one wants to hear someone else tell them to not do it I unfortunately made that mistake and I wish I didnt. Bc now it's all I want.
What? Getting arrested doesn’t feel good. That shot makes ppl want to use more. Stop arresting addicts!
No for me bc i know it's dangerous but i love the feeling type stuff is what they think. When i say they i mean addicts , some addicts will understand
You honestly think they don't know they're causing irreversible damage to their bodies? They don't care.
One way meth addicts can also ingest the drugs is by drinking the bong water w/ or w/out the food coloring, I can tell you lots of stories
Thanks to Jesus, jail and adult and teen challenge i am clean and ok today but I was an iv user.smoking and shooting DO NOT give you the same "flash". Iv use gives you a much stronger much different high.
Way to go!
Breaking bad led me to search this. Really can't relate with any sufferers here. I sincerely hope you all to be clean ❤❤
Im high on meth rn but i do want to stop
Same with me lol that I want to quit but it's not that easy to do so much to you saying it lol
Can anyone answer my question? So I was 8 months sober 😔 before relapsing again only lasted 3 days using and awake snapped out of it and went straight for the crash it was horrible 😢 I am now 5 days sober sadly but do you know if the 8 months that I had originally makes a difference?
I am now 15 days sober bien eating alot more then before and I no longer go to the gym... I go to work and just wanna binge eat and sit on the couch til a go to sleep can't wait to get back to 8 months sober again 🥲
@@souruchiha6232hey man I’m glad your still doing good keepin sober I’ve been fucking up to it’s not worth it man you ruin all your relationships just like my mom had did to me you will be so much better off sober your life is worth living I promise you.
great video dr. B
Injecting takes less of the drug to get high and is the most efficient form of getting the drug in your body
Just lost my whole statement. Iiked what you say.Never really heard a Doctor speak like this.
instructions unclear, I have now developed an addiction
😂😂😂
This doctor is LIT
The leap of injecting yourself for your high makes you a almost different animal to treat medically and psychology then normal people I cant agree more.
I just started using about a year ago first snorting now smoking. An tbh I dont get it. I hear about this euphoric high everyone else gets but I dont experience anything like this. I get some added energy and im awake for several days at a time but euphoria? No. I wouldn't've even say It makes me feel good. I have no loss of appetite and other than not sleeping I function and feel perfectly normal. I dont understand why it does not seem to have much of an effect on me. It cant be bad product either because I have gotten from multiple sources overtime. I would go as far as to say smoking weed had more of easily noticeable effect. With meth sometimes I dont even remember that I did it because I just feel normal. My friends quite clearly feel the effects because they act weird they move around weird they talk rapidly. An im just sort of confused as to why not much happens to me.
When I used to do this crap. We snorted lines. I couldn’t stand being around needle users. Self induced wackos you can not trust.
You need to actually do the drug yourself to know how it feels, compare its intensity, and onset of its euphoria.
Are there rehabs for meth or any type of medication that they can take to replace it?
Unfortunately no MAT for Meth
Thank God I've never tried this drug.
@Hanmonky How kind of you.
Im surprise he hasn't mentioned overdose when he talked about the higher risk to use IV.
Can you speak more on stim psychosis, and anecdotal reports on the associated halucinations
I think I have a video on meth psychosis
@@DrBAddictionRecovery ok
Don't forget hot rails
Well as a former iv user of meth i can say....i still have my teeth and i went through a 7g a month compared to smokers that isnt so bad its hard to quit though i find that if i get pissed off enough i can get out of bed and get things done.
Yea. Im a karen now.
I have talked many users who say shooting/slamming meth is faster and stronger than smoking it….
so wich one is more risk and dangerous..? snort or smoke ?
Guy explained why they go to needle tolerance built up, chasing money for high. Speedies was got to cocktail half meth half heroin.
If my love one needs a doctor to get rid of this addiction, who do you recommend in the san marcos tx area
DId you get those scrubs from Wayfair? And who wears scrubs in the comfort of their own home?
Thanks 🙏🏾
It’s simple when you hit it your getting a whule bowl in the bubble all at once
I'm guessing they both hit pretty hard. Thankfully I only take it orally. Smoking or injecting huge doses of meth seems suboptimal as a medication.
I've only smoke or snorted it in the nose I usually only relapse 2 3 times a year average mostly I only snort it or hotrail
What are the long term effects of smoking it? I know for sure that joint problems is one of them, anymore?
Drugs make you feel like Superman and you don’t give a life of your present moments
My left side of my chest feels tight after smoking this crap. Do I just wait to see if the feeling goes away??
U ok
That's probably your heart and muscles surrounding it tensing up, chest tightness is normal. It's hard to overdose unless you are a new user or take a stupid amount, and it will happen in the first few hours, the first time I did it I was freaking out a day later thinking I was ODing cuz my chest hurt lol I was fine.
@@themountainking3378 dude I wrote that 1 year ago. I’m still doing my thang 🧊🌡💨
@@kingsmoke1855 well goddamn
@@violetbeenofficial3693 I’m all good now lol
No breaking bad comment?
so which one would you recommend?
What about Eye Drop Meth?
I shot it once. Way too strong for me. Never used a needle again.
I just want to say that I Think there should be more research For medications to suppress methamphetamine Addiction. I don't think it is taken as seriously as opioid Addiction. Just because there are no seizures, vomiting, Shakes or anything like that involved with detoxing off of methamphetamines. The psychosis after methamphetamine abuse is horrible!!! I think it is understudied and undertreated !! Please help others speak more on meth abuse and ACTUAL treatments!
I agree! We will work on some more videos
We dont use our own product
I was wondering if you ever heard of what GHP or GBL is and if you have any videos on that
Ghb is more stronger than gbl
GBL is converted into GHB in the body. GBL is one of the two chemical components of GHB. The effects of GBL and GHB are very similar, but GBL is stronger than GHB and therefore even more difficult to dose. Reacting GBL with sodium hydroxide produces GHB.
THIS MAKES ME HAVE TO POOP.
ANYONE ELSE FEEL LIKE THAT?
gotta run!!!
How long that Suboxone, withdrawal last. ?
Well shit, I put foreign cannulas in my vein to practice IVs all the time lol
So much I didn’t know what wow
Meth doesn’t really produce euphoria for me it just makes me focused and awake but I was also on adderall for years so maybe because I have adhd it just. Hits me differently than people who get hooked on it but cocaine is a completely different story it was a nemesis I’m glad I shook off!! I’ll do a bump every now and then if someone lays it out but it does not cause me to go off the rails unless I inject or smoke it!! Thus I do nether
I hate meth so fucking much
Doesnt seem very dangerous to me as long as your clean you should be alright then?
4:40 some of us aren’t normal lol
I am a meth addict but im clean for 4years I started driving a truck in my late 20s i used ephedrine and after I got out of trucking I just went to meth
Hey doc,question Big one for me honestly can a person stop taking suboxon or is it something once you start you can't stop.One of those things your stuck on
Very very slow taper
Oh... they call that the flash. I totally would have called it that. I went to Mexico for vacation a few weeks ago. I decided to try Molly for the first time before going to a bathhouse. Normally, nothing stronger than booze for me. No one was at the bathhouse so I went to lay down. I have a vague recollection of a man coming over to me. I believe he offered to shoot me up with meth. Since Molly is very agreeable, I let him do it to me (giggle, giggle. Eye roll. I should have read about all the effects of Molly first.) Yeah, 3 or 4 days feeling like trash. A full week of barely able to walk. This does a number on the veins in your legs! And oh yeah, I want nothing to do with fake sugar anymore... That's what meth smells like. Bluch... When I listen to your video, I can't help but think you think the difference between smoking and shooting is a moral difference. Is that true? Does the addict think its moral or even more desperate? In my case, with all the stuff that happened after that night, the guy was clearly trying to addict me, so I'd sell for him in the US. While it did take some internal hoodspa to bring me back to my senses, I'm not entirely sure I understand the allure.
Hes wrong about taking a couple of mins for IV use to take affect its more like 30secs.
Exactly
Do they have diarrhea type of thing going on instead of like the normal poo ??
You forgot B O O F
What’s with all the pointing and coffee-cup holding?
Ten years clean but damaged my life
BLAH I roll a bowl about 2 or 3 times a year, depends on whats going on. Its cool for the first 5 or 6 hrs,, after that I get sick of it and cant tolerate the thought of doing anymore.
