> Ephedrine meth was like a party drug. […] You could normally kind of more or less hang onto your life. You had a house, you had a job. […] P2P meth was nothing like that. It was a very sinister drug. It brought you inside. You didn’t want to be around other people. You wanted to just kind of be alone with whatever bizarre thoughts your mind was now cooking up, and conspiracies. That sounds a lot like the progression of many stimulant addictions.

In the gay community it brings groups of guys into a mutual spiral of addiction and weirdly long sexual practices. They feel like they’re having the best time at first until they are isolated and completely chemically addicted. I’ve lost a friend and many acquaintances this way.

All it takes is one party where your friends “molly” is not so pure and you’re high for 18 hours straight. “Let’s do that again next week” turns into “all weekend” turns into “all the time”
