ways guys do meth
![]() Each way of doing the drug involves different preparation, different tools, a different ritual. How we get crystal into our bodies changes the time it takes to kick in – some methods deliver the drug to our brains faster. Please remember, faster isn’t necessarily better. Faster can also mean more potential harms.
Here's the deal: Swallowing | Snorting | Smoking | Booty Bumping | Hot Railing | Slamming How it’s done: Crystal can be done in pill form by putting it into those empty gelatin capsules available at most health food stores. People mix it into water, juice, soda, or add it to coffee to make ‘trucker coffee.’ Then there’s ‘parachuting’ - the meth is wrapped in a small bit of toilet or tissue paper then swallowed. Time to get off: about 20-30 minutes – slow and gentle. Things to watch out for: Swallowing involves the fewest risks. However, it’s not without risk. There are often contaminants in speed so your gut has to contend with them. Luckily, our bodies have a built-in safety mechanism for anything we might swallow - if it's dangerous or sickening, we tend to throw it up or vomit it out. All drugs we take by mouth are absorbed through the gut and that takes time. The positive and negative effects of the drugs can be or feel less extreme; however, the effects tend to last longer. Swallowing meth can be rough on you if you've got ulcers or other digestive problems. Strategies to reduce possible harms: Only you know the source of the crystal you've got and the amount you wanna swallow. So, fill the pill yourself. If you're partying with a new buddy or a roomful of strangers, maybe think twice about taking a pill someone hands you. Same thing goes for drinking it in juice or water or whatever - mix your own cocktail! back to top How it’s done: How it’s done: Time to get off: about 7-10 seconds. Things to watch out for: Smoke of any kind irritates the lungs. Prolonged irritation can lead to breathing difficulties and coughing. People with asthma, emphysema, and other lung problems are particularly at risk for these effects. If you're smoking speed, you' re going to end up consuming larger quantities of the drug much faster than if you are snorting or swallowing. Keep in mind, the time to get off is much quicker and the high is more intense than when swallowing or snorting speed. Strategies to reduce possible harms: Before you hit the pipe, decide how much product you're going to use. And then stick to that amount. Too challenging, you say? Maybe you can try to decrease the frequency of hitting the pipe after your first hit.
How it’s done: There are two ways this works. In the first, think turkey baster! With some acrobatics thrown in for good measure. The crystal is dissolved in water and a syringe without the needle is used to “bump” this solution of crystal into your butt hole. The other way is to push a small shard or a fingertip covered with powdered crystal into your butt. Either way, the drug is absorbed by the blood vessels in the lining of the rectum. Time to get off: about 3-5 minutes. Things to watch out for: If you bottom after booty bumping, you're likely to have something besides your absorbent blood vessels and his big dick up your butt. You're also gonna have an abrasive powder which can increase chances for internal abrasion and condom breakage. If there's no condom on that dick, the risk for abrasions both in your rectum and on his dick goes up. This increases the chance for exchange of blood. Damage to the mucous membranes that line your rectum, like burning or tearing, can put you at higher risk of giving or getting HIV and other STDs. Strategies to reduce possible harms: If you booty-bump and bottom make sure he has a condom on. Make sure you use clean water to dissolve the speed. Don’t share booty bump syringes – you could be sharing shit which could give you hepatitis, parasites or other diseases. back to top
