Meth users, what products/methods do you use for your skin to avoid breakouts and sores? A friend is tired of breaking out and puss/zits. Surely some of you know how to appear to be normies? Any tips?
Meth users, what products/methods do you use for your skin to avoid breakouts and sores...
Tell him to stop doing meth retard
If you apply meth dust directly to the affected spots it will help heal the wounds
What he chooses to get high on doesn't affect me. Just want to help
What he chose to got high off of resulted in him telling you about his desire to look like a non-methhead and you, being affected by this tale of woes, subsequently went to Yea Forums to ask how to remedy his situation. Let me guess, you were going to ask how to remedy meth sores anyways regardless of your friend's condition?
A noose
Overdose and die, that will solve all of your skin issues.
Damn. I don't remember seeing such decent quality. But yeah, quit that shit and a lot of problems disappear.
You can’t do meth and maintain a healthy appearance, because it is ravaging your body. Take your pick, your health or your drug. You can’t have both.
Gasoline cleans the wounds. Also prevents future sores.
yah man you can blow your head off that way normis will love you
this is beast
I asked him why his face looked like shit. He told me why, and I said I'd try to find solutions online. Have found habits that can help and some topical solutions online, just wanted to see if any lurking longtime tweakers had solutions to looking somewhat normal life
>normal life
>meth
pick one
This. Methamphetamine is a fast way to ruin your life. Low grade non methylated amphetamines are ok in small doses if used infrequently but the minute you start using them every day you’re gonna fuck your brain up.
Your friend needs to get off the meth. Nearly anything else save opiates and poppers is better.
My friends and I had a 3-day rule. It seemed that 3 days was when you could feel it telling you you couldn't go on without it. 3 days was when you had to make the decision between a sub sandwich and sleep, or more meth. Taking a break at 3 days gave you the clarity to realize what you were doing.
Yeah, it's your "friend". It's okay OP. First step is admitting you have a problem
You can't od from meth, retard.
Why don't you try and find out, faggot?
a good hygiene, clean face every day once you wake up and before bed, shower everyday. its ez
Fuck that I use a 1 month rule for hard drugs or most drugs really
Poppers is bad? Fuck. I was messing with those last year.
Pretty sure I've read that they can lead to heart attacks..
Dissolve the meth in water and squirt it up your ass.
I'd assume he is at least showering every day. I know it is because you are secreting it out of your pores, so I also read that astringent follow by moisturizer helps. The astringent cleaning out the oil then the moisturizer lubricating what you just dried out, and also making it easier for the pores to secrete out the meth successfully
Oh. I think that has to do with combining them with viagra.
I thought it was inferred they cause brain damage. I looked it up and NOPE.
My best friend OD'd on heroin just after we got out of high school, I don't do hard drugs
my pet monkey has no idea about any of that she just washes his face drinks plenty of water and washes his hands before touching his face. also what you eat has an effect on the pimples so hygiene and diet
Not surprising that they are taken with viagra, seeing as they are used sometimes when having anal sex. Also not surprising that can lead to heart attacks
>she just washes his face
lol
Thanks for the tip though I had heard about the plenty of water so that was the first response I had. Also I know b12 and biotin are good to take to avoid neurological issues
It's funny seeing middle schoolers smoke meth
i wouldnt recomend b12. and remember moderation is key never smoke it once you do youll never let it go, your friend will grow out of it, my monkey did he was on it 24/7 for 4 years lol. nothings the same with out it user tell your friend to have fun but remember whos in control, thats my best advise.
I don't use meth that is why I have none of these issues
I had a heart attack two years ago. I'm a professional; an engineer. I had shortness of breath a couple of months ago so went to the ER.
Well, having told them about my heart history, the head nurse orders a drug test. I get a false positive for meth, even though I'm in nice attire, have really good insurance and just look clean cut.
She comes in screaming at me asking me what I took. I am wat-ing at her and she's yelling like a banshee. Then she starts screaming that she's going to have to waste a narcan shot on me because I'm obviously overdosing and I'm killing myself.
Finally a doctor comes in after hearing the screaming, asks me what's going on and I explain to him that the nurse just came in yelling at me. He looks at the test results, looks at my medication list and tries to calm the nurse down. He finally tells her to go take care of someone else, that he'll take over.
He apologizes and says it's probably my proventil inhaler that showed the false positive. Then he goes about actually ordering the cardiac tests and treatments I needed.
Why wouldn't you recommend b12? I'll definitely pass on the message before giving him the information I've gathered
I had a bad molly problem that lead to some meth use. 2years clean and I still think about it daily
She sounds pretty unprofessional, she doesn't get paid to judge/freak out. She gets paid to calmly administer the appropriate care. Lucky the competent doctor came in
She was nuts. And as far as I know, narcan is only for opioids, isn't it? What kind of nurse doesn't know that sort of thing?
It's really a lot more common than what is portrayed. I would argue it may not be as healthy (but you're doing drugs, so that's probably not your main concern) it is definitely more economic until you've built up a dependence
Biotin is used to grow hair faster lel
I don't truly know, but I think for opioids. Mainly because as somebody previously said, I don't think you OD on meth.
Anybody here take 5htp to help with amph hangover's?
Just google if that is the only thing it does/can help with. Isn't hard to find
I mean smoke more meth and you won't care about how you look.
I think he snorts it
meth is pretty versatile, I mean you can literally just eat it, inject it, whatever; but there is a reason most people smoke it.
so does your friend actually CARE what he looks like? that's the part I'm having trouble with. I mean because if he still does, he's not going to pretty soon.
also you're a pretty shitty fren to just let him use.
not using meth helps
Well he said he'd appreciate it if I looked into it because he wants the weight loss, but not shitty skin or teeth. It's helping him with eating less, but I've told him when he finally gets sober he'll probably just eat it back. So, what would a good friend do? How would a good friend make him not use? I've tried explaining pros and cons.
How could any adult force another adult to choose a different behavior?
>So, what would a good friend do?
tell him to go to a fucking doctor and get some phentermine
And if he says no? He'd rather get high while losing weight?
tell him you can't be his friend if he's going to go down that path.
You can OD, but it generally isn't deadly.
I've been using IV meth for a while. I have clear skin and my teeth are ok. I don't overdo it though, and I eat at least the recommended calories per day and get sleep every night. Meth (and amphetamines in general) don't cause that much damage to your body and aren't particularly neurotoxic unless youre using insane amounts nonstop. The damage comes from lack of sleep, hygiene, and nutrition.
He could try some benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid but he needs to take care of himself or quit.
Yeah, that's a good friend..
enabling is not friendship. if you're not going to support him making healthy choices then you're not being a friend.
go to a fucking NA meeting and ask what you should be doing there
Thank you very much for the tip on products. I'm sure nutrition is a huge factor he has been neglecting. From what I had read your lifestyle played a huge factor.
So eliminating a potential support system entirely is the solution? Considering the stigma associated with it, he may have no other people he is comfortable/trusts knowing. I can't make his choices for him, but I can help educate him on the extra things he will need to do for maintenance if he goes down this road. I will go to an NA meeting, and even suggest us going together, but I won't abandon somebody because I disagree with the way they lead their life (especially when it is nonviolent)
I know it feels shit but you're not helping by enabling him.
but yeah, don't take my word, hit up that NA meeting, listen, ask questions. pull the dude running it aside and get some advice IRL if you don't want to speak out in group. Just do it, don't invite him even, do it for you.
Oh yeah, there are family of addict groups too, can't think what they're called. Might also be a place for you to seek help.
Godspeed bro, I hope you're both OK at the other end of this.
So do you tell all of your fat friends they're fat and they should change their dietary habits? Offering ultimatums that could result in losing a friend? They're both unhealthy decisions, but I am positive that if he maintains his body like every person should, doing meth would come with less health risks than being morbidly obese. I do appreciate the advice, just don't think you understand how unrealistic what you're implying about what being a good friend is. Friends can't agree on everything, how lonely would it be to only be friends with yourself essentially
Stop smoking meth?
It's not that you OD on meth and the meth itself kills you from toxicity. However, if you do too much meth, the effects it has on your body kills will absolutely kill you. Your heartrate speeds up to an unsustainable level, you sweat a lot and dehydrate yourself, your body temp goes through the roof... plus when you're on it, you tend to forego basic needs like sleep, eating, and back to the dehydration again. All these exacerbate the already problematic effects on your body.
TL;DR: You can absolutely die from doing too much meth.
I believe this. I believe you can mitigate a lot of the negatives, but it is still not healthy and I'm not recommending anybody should do it. Just trying to get information from users to help another user.
All of these people saying meth isnt that bad for you are idiots. The chemicals literally eat your body from the inside out. It causes irreparable damage to multiple vital organs. There is no "safe" amount to do. Yes, if you only do it a few times, it's generally not enough to cause any damage just like smoking 1 pack of cigarettes isnt going to give you cancer. However, I've never heard of somebody using meth just a couple times and this thread is obviously talking about somebody that does it regularly.
are those crystals edible?
what do they taste like?
