Meth treatment in San francisco
Once extremely popular amongst some of the San Franscisco gay communities; methamphetamine is now rapidly spreading into the mainstream culture. Meth was first used by bikers and truckers to help them stay awake on long journeys.
Crystal meth is made of highly volatile, toxic substances (based on chemical "precursors" as methylamine and amyl amine) that are melded in various combinations, forming what can be described as a "mix of laundry detergent and lighter fluid."
The mixes are never quite the same, but basic types of methamphetamine are a rough yellow substance called Hydro and a smooth white blend called Glass. Half a gram costs approximately £25. A £15 hit would most likely keep you going for a few days.
Methamphetamine can be snorted or injected. In its crystal form, ‘ice’ is smoked in a pipe. Methamphetamine brings on a sensation of exhilaration and a sharpening of focus. Smoking ice results in an instantaneous dose of almost pure drug to the brain, providing a huge rush followed by a feeling of euphoria lasting for 2 hours to 16 hours.
For certain, a methamphetamine high could result in obsessive cleaning or tidying, but for several, the biggest bonus is the sense of sexual liberation which can lead to mad, abandoned sex for hours - sometimes days - on end.
Meth’s ability to keep users awake and feeling good for long periods of time have resulted in the drug making heavy inroads into the US gay dance scene, even though its use is still rare in the UK.
Side effects: The biggest risk of methamphetamine use is the increased risk of HIV infection through unprotected and uninhibited sex while under the influence of the drug. The liberating nature of meth means that frequently safe sex is discarded while sexual activity increases greatly. It has been reported in the United States that in nearly half of the new AIDS cases, crystal meth has been a factor.
Smoking ice increases the body temperature, the heart and respiratory rates, as well as the individual’s blood pressure. Meth can also cause hallucinations, paranoia, and bizarre, aggressive and psychotic behaviour.
