Forms of consumption

Methamphetamine is swallowed, snorted, smoked, injected (slamming) or administered rectally

• The combination with depressant substances (alcohol, GHB, opioids, benzodiazepines, ketamine) puts a strain on the cardiovascular system. The risk of circulatory collapse is increased. The effects can mask each other so that they are less noticeable. This increases the risk of overdoses.
• Mixed consumption with stimulants such as cocaine or amphetamine can lead to a strong strain on the cardiovascular system and an incalculable increase in the stimulant effect. The risk of side effects such as tachycardia and breathing difficulties is increased.

• Dose low and don't top up, methamphetamine is a highly potent substance! Observe the safer sex rules.
• Eat enough before and after consumption to prevent weight loss and take vitamins C and D and minerals (iron, calcium and magnesium). Note that a full stomach when swallowing can delay the absorption of the substance.
• The down after using methamphetamine can be very pronounced, so be sure to take breaks from using; you should wait at least four weeks before using again. People with psychiatric disorders (especially depression, history of suicide attempts, psychosis), people with hypertension, liver and kidney diseases, epilepsy, diabetics and pregnant women should not use methamphetamine.
• Plan enough time for consumption and recovery afterwards. Metamphetamine is also used for sexual performance enhancement and can be a convenient and quick way. Try to deal with your sexual needs soberly: How important is performance to you? What affiliation do you desire? What sexuality do you hope for? Does it all make sense to you? Sexuality specialists will be happy to advise you on this.
