Meth head sat across from me on the train from Logan to Roma St. His voice fluctuated from normal to high pitch, and it was hard to tell when he was talking to me or his own reflection behind me. At one point, he asked if I wanted to get off at the next station and fight. I declined. "Not even a little rumble?" Later on, I started cracking my knuckles out of habit, prompting him to get up and ask if I wanted to go right here on the train. I explained that I meant nothing by it, and he apologised and sat back down. Of all the people who have tried to pick fights with me, he was perhaps the most polite and respectful.

My Dad is an ER surgeon and this was one of his patients. Years ago a guy high on meth tried to jump onto a moving train. He slipped, landing on his feet like normal, except he did so on the train tracks. Under a moving freight train. Guy gets the front half of his foot cut off by a train wheel. Somehow he not only manages to find the mangled bit of ground beef that was his foot after the kilometre long train finished passing by, but he picked the damn thing up, managing to hobble all the way from the tracks to the hospital. When my poor old Dad eventually got to him the triage nurses had tied not only a tourniquet around the leg, but several restrains around the man it was attached to. He was being belligerent, you see, demanding my Dad reattach his foot. The one that was now basically ground beef. Suffice to say, Dr Dad did not reattach the foot, but was pleased to see the guy had not lost the leg when he saw him months later on his prison surgery rotation.

Myself and 2 mates once smoked so much meth that we had no cash left for 2 days and no food in the house. We concocted a plan to rob the local IGA and steal "just enough snacks to get by" and "slip money under the door once we get paid". In the moment, it all seemed so reasonable. Went so far as to us standing behind the store after hours, getting ready to bash the door down. I had a moment of clarity and suggested I could just borrow 50 bucks off my mate instead. We all agreed that was a better idea and left. I like to think of that as my 'sliding doors moment' in life.

I dont have very many interesting stories but the story of the first time is a little wild. I was a sweet innocent stoner who didnt know better. I also have ADHD. Tried it at a party thinking it was weed even though it was a SUPER obvious meth pipe. Suddenly I felt perfectly sober and VERY medicated. But clearly I was not sober cus I then organized the hosts kitchen pantry and then ended up in their closet trying on all their sweaters because I "needed better vibes on my skin." I did not know the person, and I didnt know it was meth. I found out the next day when a friend told me, and so the curse began. Never got a thank you for fixing that disaster of a pantry lol Once I was hooked on it, it was destructive and bad, but with ADHD its also pretty boring. I just did my dishes more but with intensity while covered in scabs. Now I take Adderall. Way less effective but doesnt destroy my mind and body.

A mate of mine is a paramedic. He had a meth head cut off his own hand during a psychotic episode. They rocked up to the guys house, he was sitting there calmly and asked, "is it time to go to the hospital yet?". Gotta love regional Australia

Dude you are literally talking to the right guy. I spent nearly 20 years on the street doing that crap. Been clean for like 5 or 6 years now. I would love to tell you my stories.

COVID was a weird time, so I decided I was gonna be homeless and strung out on meth instead of being stuck inside, so I went full #vanlife in my focus. Well, being new to meth, I had no idea how weird it was gonna get. I ended up living in my car, in 75 foot bit of land between the train tracks and the viaduct, that I found was federal land that neither the railroad nor the city had claimed, because I was up for three days and looking at maps online. I claimed sovereign citizenship and stayed there for a year. I finally got caught stealing electricity and was arrested. I took a deal that if I stayed clean, they would expunge my record because it was the first time I was arrested. I got a job and manage an auto parts store now.

My godfather experienced drug addiction to multiple substances. He had tried every drug in the book and even some that I don't think had names. Anyway, he never spared me any details about drugs, alcohol, you name it. When I was in elementary school I thought he was trying to tell me drugs were cool, later I realized he was trying to make sure I didn't make the same mistakes he did. He saved me from being kidnapped a handful of times when babysitting me. The last time I saw him he was finally clean off drugs and was trying to get off alcohol. Sadly, his heart (which was already a bit shoddy before the drugs) couldn't handle blood not thinned with ever clear. He needed heart surgery, but didn't survive the operation. I miss that guy. If he was still around, I'm sure he would have loved your content.

I had a cousin who got so blitzed out on the gear he called the police on himself. He thought someone was trying to break into his house, it was his reflection in the windows.

I don't know if this counts but the local Meth heads blew themselves up in their lab like half a kilometer from my house in the country and at first I didn't register the explosion because I lived on an army base where explosions from training that would rattle the windows were a weekly thing.

Not a meth-head but I feel like this is worth telling: we had a KFC that sold meth out the drive thru window... the code word was 'secret sauce' when ordering. That ENTIRE BUILDING was torn down, and now there's a pizza place where that KFC used to be. A new KFC opened up up the road under totally new management and everything, and my friend said they were required to call the cops if anyone asked for secret sauce 🤣 people di

Knew a guy who killed his son (manslaughter) by driving his car into a ditch at night and rolling over while on meth and spent 25 years in prison bc of it. Now he’s out and he played magic the gathering with me and trauma dumped the story onto me randomly one day. Also I’m pretty sure the meth fried his brain or something bc he really sucks at the most basic magic the gathering rules.

I was a truck stop employee up in new York for a while, so 2 types of meth heads. Had a guy come in at about 2:30 am once, stick a pack of Twinkies down his pants, screamed a few times about being a dog for whatever reason and ran away. This is a highway side truck stop which meant this guy had been running down the side of the interstate, because he didn't get into a car, just disappeared from whence he came. Stayed a while longer, only quit when I had to find a dead body in the bathroom, kinda should Of seen that coming I guess

Best life advice I ever got was from a methhead. I was 17 and just got out the watch house for the night. Went to a payphone to confess to my mum. Methhead approached me asking if I can get rock. I said nah I just got out of lockup. He gave me 50 bucks and said "never tell your mum anything, she doesn't need the stress". I used that 50 bucks to call a cab home and mum didn't know anything.

Not sure if she was on meth exactly, but my mom was a junkie. One time I was at a friend's house after he had got a vr headset, and my mom called to ask what we were doing. After I told her we were playing vr, she seemed panicked and called me home. Later on she ended up telling me she was upset because she thought we were building a time machine so we could go back in time and stop her from being born... She also thought the government used planes to put clouds in the sky so they could hide heaven, but that's neither here nor there.

My family member used to cook it back in the early 2000s, he used to see people in ghille suits in our tree, our tree is a fucking cherry blossom that only flowers a few days a year, so he thought the police were in a pink ghille suit in the tree watching him. And the other times he thought they had tree bark wraped on them to blend in to the tree. Please keep me anonymous i like life.

Once had what felt like an out of body experience. For 4 hours I was watching myself from a third person view while I lay completely still. Felt like a time lapse seeing everything get brighter as the sun came up. Felt like I got jolted back into my body as I went back into seeing from my own eyes.

We had a neighbour who was a meth head. Ex and him got into an argument and this man did not shut up for 3 days. Even through the night he was screaming at everyone. On the second day at midnight I had had enough so called the cops. They came out and heard our complaint and then played rock, paper scissors as to who was going to go and talk to him. It was wild.

I was on it for about 2 years. The legacy it left me is two missing back teeth and lingering mental illness. Not even once folks. Hallucinating that a friend of mine's face was crawling with Allens lollies snakes and sitting at my dealers house for about 12 hours staring at the TV until he told me I had to leave are probably the two weirdest instances that I remember.
