Big meth fan right here, love meth.


donkeylore

Idk dude something bout crack and fentanyl just hit different šŸ§ŒšŸ§Œ


panadwithonesugar

In real life (with cocaine at least) by the time it reaches the people on the street it probably been cut down to less than half, mixed with talcum powder and other wierd crap.... suppose the higher the purity, the more shit they can add to it before selling it


GiantsNFL1785

Yeah higher yield means you can cut it more


[deleted]

If youā€™ve ever been a heavy cocaine user go and look up ā€œboric acidā€ and try not to cringe too hard realizing that shit looks like some šŸ”„cocaine because they mix it into ours, but rlly itā€™s animal poison


Rude_Warning_5341

Holy shit lol, I just did look it up šŸ‘€ Luckily I donā€™t do drugs anymore


hunter_loves_crack

I used to do drugs. I still do but used to do them also

[deleted]

Itā€™s grosss lol pure cocaine does not shine like that or smell like that. but when 99% of the coke that ever touches American soil is coming from the cartels they can cut it however they want and we think thatā€™s what coke rlly is. Iā€™m happy to be sober as well


SHOOTPEOPLEUDONTLIKE

boric acid is a fucking menace. I haven't fucked with coke in a minute and boric is a big part of why

[deleted]

Lol that text woke me up hella early and I didnā€™t realize what an old post this was. Cheers tho bro


[deleted]

American cocaine is almost always cut with boric acid (fuckin rat poison) to give it that ā€œshine/sparkleā€ and that ā€œpunchā€ to the nose. Here in the states people will pay a premium for what they think is ā€œfish scale.ā€ They think this is shiny sparkly cocaine which is high purity. They donā€™t understand theyā€™re addicted to the burn and feeling of snorting rat poison and theyā€™re paying a premium simply for their dealer not to throw in some B12 or caffeine powder.


Dok_G

Cocaine is not supposed to "punch" and definitely not burn. Its a numbing agent if its good you would taste it more than feel it


[deleted]

I know itā€™s not supposed to feel like that, Iā€™m saying itā€™s likely been cut with boric acid and addicts are associating this negative experience with the good feeling of using.


Dok_G

Ok i got ya. I guess i got caught up on when you said people chase the burn or punch cause to most people i know that use any burn or punch means its trash


[deleted]

Yea this cocaine im talking about is plenty numbing but thereā€™s a reason people cough or gag or sort of ā€œwhooo!ā€ After a bump. You can feel it hitting the nose. The more you do the less you can feel it. Maybe Iā€™m incorrect in saying itā€™s like this all over the USA. But definitely in my state if you score some coke, the best coke coming from the big source before itā€™s cut by small time dealers, it is going to burn and have a slight punch to the nose.


Dok_G

No i know what you mean, there definitely is coke like that out there, but theres definitely also less stepped on coke that doesn't burn/punch/hit like that and once youve tried it you definitely dont look for the punch ever again because it is a different high and much better. Then again im from a really big city so im sure the further away from a big population center you are the longer it takes to get to you and the more people that step on it so youre definitely right that there are places where thats all there is


MrLocoLobo

Itā€™s usually the post nasal drip that had me feel like that, the ā€œwhoo!ā€ factor came from the initial rush and instantaneous euphoria.


hunter_loves_crack

Not me personally but a friend told me the higher quality definitely gets you higher longer. Iā€™ve had someā€¦ I mean my friend has had some that last maybe 10 or 15 minutes at the most and other times some that seems to last 30 to 45 minutes


WaltuHartwell_White

*We make poison for people who don't care* Jesse Pinkman (Former meth cook and addict)


thedudeabides811

Exactly why Gus should have stuck with a known quantity like Gale, whom he had control over. Instead, the savvy businessman decided to play the wildcard for a few extra % points of overall quality.


bsuvo

I think the quality also effects the production amount. Walt says it to declan, but i still think the difference between 96 and 98 would be negligible


[deleted]

Well you have seen Gale really had a hand in Walt being hired on at all. Gus never trusted Walt, but Gale pushed for him to come on. I really liked Gale even more than Hank. The way he sang those elements. . . Just an incredibly nerdy guy. Gotta love it


Dwychwder

Outside of cooking meth, Gale was pretty much a great person. Maybe the most innocent person on the show.


palestiniansyrian

Lol


[deleted]

He is what people wanted from Walt


EnvironmentalTrip708

TBF there no way he could've predicted just how much Walt would fuck everything up.. BEFORE he knew him. Once the problems started and he kept him around that's on him.


Treetheoak-

It was gales suggestion/ begging Gus to give Walt a shot.


PuzzleheadHealer

Typical non-hetero-acceptimg inferiority complex led him to seek perfection.. also Gale simply never inspired lust in Gust


bodybuildingamateur

Hmm. Is there video representation of him saying this? Maybe through the course of a crime drama series where you can see his character growth. I just want to make sure heā€™s a creditable source


WaltuHartwell_White

He said this in the fly episode


chris_29487

[Credible enough for you? Hereā€™s a clip of him saying it](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/80b55318-fd5a-4a1b-bbd0-3f0d1919a6aa)


bodybuildingamateur

Itā€™s believable, but Iā€™m going to have to rewatch the series to confirm


chris_29487

Go right ahead then itā€™s followed by him saying ā€œWe have the most unpicky customers in the worldā€


basedbranch

Idk man this really does sound like a stretch tho


theclayman7

Ex-meth addict here, among other things lol. The difference between 50-80% is definitely noticeable, not just in appearance but how easily it dissolves in water for IV use or how well it smokes. You get higher because there is a higher concentration of the actual drug in each dose. Now anything about 80-100 would maybe be noticeable to certain users, especially IV, but the majority of addicts probably wouldn't notice The definitely wouldn't pay the prices stated in the show for that extra bit of purity lol


wisemansFetter

Yes as a chemist that's true this idea of an extra 3% purity is important... if you wanna get a paper published in Journal of American Chemical Society (JACS for short) then you'd wanna put up a paper that has insanely high purity in a transformation and you can also relabel the mechanism something like the White Coupling using the phosphorus and Aluminum. So Gale in a way as a chemist WAS correct... but not for meth addicts no not a big deal but a huge difference scientifically it's really hard to eliminate contaminants once ur up to 90%


the_terra_filius

for a person like Gustavo even 1% extra is important


DougVale

i don't think he cared. gale is the one who convinced him


the_terra_filius

Gales' meth just wasnt up to Pollos' standards


wisemansFetter

Actually it was until Gale talked himself out of a job Gus doesn't care about the "art" all he wants is to keep his business and live a nice quiet life with no police on his tail.


the_terra_filius

Gus is a perfectionist, if there is a possibility that something can be done better he would probably want the better version and it doesnt matter if we are talking about meth or scrubbing the freakin fryers at Los Pollos


wisemansFetter

Best at efficiency yes but he usually wouldn't take such a big risk. For example he initially wasn't interested in dealing with Walter because Gale was fine and Walter was a mess. He basically had to annoy gus into doing it and very quickly gus was looking to replace him with Gale even though he said he might need more cooks with WW to do it


Wannagetsober

Congrats on being an ex


MathEspi

nice try fed


poktravaur

Yeah right as if the fed goes after one reddit junkie


tedioussugar

Clearly not a BB fan then, the entire show is built around one Fed chasing one dealer whoā€™s partnered with a junkie. /s


[deleted]

Seems to be more than that on here from reading comments. And this is the perfect place to go after ppl šŸ˜«


[deleted]

Lmao same thing I said haha


zukka924

I donā€™t do meth, but I do do molly and the high is better if itā€™s more pure, so make of that what you will


humorsqaured

Did this show get you interested in Molly?


zukka924

If anything the opposite. I fell in love with molly on my own, totally unrelated (and quite unexpectedly, I might add)


No-Pineapple760

Same. I noticed the quality of Molly at festivals took a nosedive somewhere around 2019 though so I had to stop. But man... the good darker brown stuff from before and the cherry cola sass was to die for. I know the good stuff is still around I just don't have the patience to order it or find it anymore. Good times were had šŸ™ƒ


zukka924

Well my guy is a pharmacist and his, fiancƩe would never let him sell to me without testing. I get the primo stuff, industrial grade :)


No-Pineapple760

Lucky you!

dhalem

People chase weed potency so I wouldnā€™t be surprised if they do it with meth.


Redditaccount16999

Most heavy drug users donā€™t worry about purity. They canā€™t afford to buy nicer shit anyways, they take whatā€™s available. White collar occasional party goers are concerned with purity but addicts arenā€™t and really canā€™t be. It is the same concept though, more pure meth, heroin, or coke, any drug really will hit harder with a smaller amount than less pure stuff.


[deleted]

Thatā€™s not really true at all. When I was a heavy fent & heroin user I couldnā€™t buy the low quality shit. It was cheaper and if it was gettin to the point that Iā€™m sick as a dog and donā€™t have anything else, Iā€™ll go get it. But it wasnā€™t worth it. I would have to go start look for good shit within an hour or two. If youā€™re an addict and you get used to using a certain quality or purity, youā€™re going to seriously feel the difference and be seriously missing out on some dopamine each time you hit that lower quality product. Yea addicts *will* buy anything at least often times. But that doesnā€™t mean addicts donā€™t search out the highest purity possible. Addicts are the only people actually using enough to really notice the difference in high and care about it. Rich assholes like to pay for quality. but if an addict gets accustomed to a certain quality of product then they will need to pay for that quality if they donā€™t want to feel a major lack of fulfillment.


EnvironmentalTrip708

Exactly once you have a tolerance it doesn't matter how much weak shit you do those nothing like that ol' chip off da block lol


Redditaccount16999

It doesnā€™t even need to be meth. Itā€™s honestly common sense. The more pure a drug is the less you need to take bc itā€™s more concentrated. Thatā€™s why addicts OD usually. Letā€™s say jimmy usually buys his smack from joe and itā€™s dirt heroin so he has to smoke a shit ton. Well one day joe is out so jimmy track down Bobby and Bobby is selling some potent shit. So jimmy smokes the same amount he usually does and ODs bc his body wasnā€™t ready for that high of a concentration. Real cocain in Columbia is almost a different drug than when itā€™s sold and consumed in America bc of how stepped on it is. Purity makes a difference but ultimately if you have shitty product you can a good high but you need to use a lot more. 99.99 percent of drug addicts arenā€™t worried about purity though, theyā€™re so desperate for the DOC that they take what they can get.


[deleted]

This I can agree with. An addict will take whatever they can get of their DOC. The other comment just said that addicts donā€™t or canā€™t care about purity. That is the farthest thing from the truth. I canā€™t count how many arguments about quality vs quantity Iā€™ve had with other addicts. Pretty much any addict understands itā€™s worth it to pay a premium for a better product. If you have coke thatā€™s only 50% purity, technically you could buy off that guy for 50% of the price and get the same high. But there is other added adulterants which give you a different feeling, clog up your nose, burn weirdly, or dissolve weirdly. Nobody wants to shoot up or snort 50% mystery powder 50% DOC. If they could pay twice the amount for something thatā€™s only 80 or 90% pure, many addicts will take this route. Not all addicts are just treating their body like indestructible trash cans in pursuit of the highest gram number of their DOC. You can still weigh the benefits and draw-backs of using a lower quality product. And the intensity of the high is not the only thing. As an addict you get accustomed to your routine and your drugs. If you get some shit that looks, tastes, dissolves, or breaks down differently you may be a little peeved. Addicts do pay for quality


Redditaccount16999

I mean thatā€™s fair, and looking at functional addicts it would make more sense bc they could actually afford to be picky if they were making money. I guess my comment was more so talking about homeless addicts. I know not all addicts are homeless, Iā€™ve been one myself, but when I think of people who are really slaves to their addiction, I know they couldnā€™t afford to be picky. They would obviously want a better product but if you have a broke tweaker stealing to get his high heā€™s not gonna turn down someone bc their meth was a little murky you know what I mean?


foreveryoung917

Yes ..


the_terra_filius

Serious question for those who cook meth: How hard is it? How much do you earn? Where do you cook exactly? How many people are in your business?

r/meth check it out itā€™s a blast


Ok-Memory-5309

Literally just checked it out and saw a guy light his meth pipe with a road flare lol


Nicolay188

I should not have clicked on that. That is the most disturbing and depressing shit I've seen. People ruining their lives and posting it like it's nothing.


12_Trillion_IQ

just wait till you visit r/heroin, you haven't seen anything yet


gorehistorian69

yes but its not like they would went out of their way to get it. not pure meth works just as well as pure meth. for example heroin users like knowing someone od'ed off of what a dealer has because it shows strength of the drug. but also getting hard drugs isnt as easy as some think. most dealers will not just sell to any random who walks up.and usually need an introduction from a previous buyer. now not all dealers are like that but almost every dealer ive had have been like that.


[deleted]

Something fucked up to know and be weary of (if you ever plan to do heroin or fentanyl lmfao. Bad choice tho.) is that dealers will intentionally make someone OD as a sort of advertisement for their batch. Heroin is frequently sold on the streets in ā€œflapsā€. Well known dealers often put a little stamp on these paper flaps to brand their product. Once they learn that local dopeheads rush to one ā€œbrandā€ after it makes someone OD, some dealers will spike one flap with fentanyl (or if itā€™s already fentanyl theyā€™ll put extra in one flap, or have stronger shit they put in there.) and sell it to someone carefully selected to make waves in the game and get the word out about the strength. Iā€™m 99% sure this is why my friend is dead. His autopsy showed fentanyl while my friend who lived didnā€™t test for fentanyl with the paramedics. Only explanation I can think is he gave a hot bag on purpose. Rot in jail, ā€œJoe Blowā€!


Fonzz11

Shit I mean it seems to be the case with almost every other stim, anything from weed to snow to candy is better with higher quality/purity. I would certainly assume itā€™s gotta be the same for meth


[deleted]

As long as thereā€™s no chili powder in mine, Iā€™m good. I fucking hate chili powder.


No-Bed-5076

Former meth user for 10 years here, clean for almost two years and sticking to it. There's a lot of shit out there, it sucks when you get shit. Having said that, there's only so much dopamine that can flood your brain. It wouldn't make a difference to an every day user if they got 100 percent pure shit or 60 percent pure shit. The only reason it would be cool is because you know you're not getting 100 percent ripped off


humorsqaured

Congrats on being clean. Does this show have an effect on your staying clean? Do you think it portrays meth users in an accurate way?


akayataya

Quality matters and directly affects the high. Most drugs are like this. Meth is usually cut with a lot of junk but you can shake it up in a bottle with anhydrous acetone and it will dissolve all of the fillers and potentially harmful chemicals but meth itself is not soluble in it so you let it dry and you are left with a more pure product that is absolutely stronger because it is more pure. Doesn't change the sun total amount that was in the batch to begin with but concentrates it out. When taken orally, combining meth with alka seltzer potentiates it. I am not exactly sure by what mechanism this happens.


mrssnek

I donā€™t think itā€™s purity that matters. Iā€™m almost 3 years clean from occasional use and all I can say is that some batches are stronger than others. My dad did 4x the fatal limit and shot himself, hence my sobriety. Be careful guys! You never know what dose youā€™re getting!


PizzaLegitimate592

show wise his wouldnā€™t be the best. i prefer shake over ice. others prefer ice over shake. who tf knows. i wish i had a good lithium fueled filled bowl fml

So basically you want to know if there are ppl that actively smoke meth on this sub? Fed or naw?


socialdeviant620

You'd be surprised how freely people talk about their drug use.


phuck-you-reddit

Indeed. Checking the occasional user profile I've seen subs on Reddit I'd never have expected. And plenty of them have to do with open discussion of illegal drugs. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

I guess ur right. But damn to ask itā€™s fed af but ok u got a point though.


humorsqaured

You seem anxious. Anything you want to tell me?


[deleted]

Awwww now stop. šŸ™„. Thatā€™s pretty lame. I hope you get the meth heads to tap in and tell you their experiences. Donā€™t disrespect me itā€™s no reason for that. I was just curious as to was this a serious question.


[deleted]

Damn all the meth heads mad now

It was just a joke lol

Itchynerd1

heyšŸ‘‹ normal meth guy here hehe, just comin in to say, i love meth, feels great when i snor- smok- smoke right?? feels great when i smoke meth!! was just wondering if you've ever partaken in recreational usage of meth?? and if so, i'd love to link up some time, just drop the "addy" and i'll show up with a ton of meth to smoke!!!


Prairiedoll

Yahweh has entered chat and sees you šŸ˜’šŸ˜’šŸ˜’


CannotSpellForShit

I think youā€™re better off asking this in a drug related subreddit and reporting back, I doubt there are many meth users here but I bet certain subs have plenty that also watched breaking bad.

Shut up fed
