Why do people aggressively defend meth when they know it can ruin lives, just because they haven’t personally “had a bad experience?”

Why do so many people, who take other drugs, from weed to heroin, condemn other drugs that can be dangerous when misused but not meth? Why do they even arguemeth is not addictive? <br><br>It makes no sense to me at all. I’ve done coke and things like Molly and Adderall recreationally in the past, and I got off the stuff. I didn’t like how it made me feel in the mornings, and I saw how it fucked up people around me- especially in the club and party scene- who were high all hours of the night, danced till they passed out, dehydrated and overheated and in need of medical attention. Suddenly they didn’t look so “sexy” anymore. <br><br>I’ll never touch that stuff again. <br><br>Meth is the same thing, but people who use it insist that they can stop whenever they want and that they want to stop. You know you can’t. Deep down you know you’re ruining your life when you abuse meth. <br><br>How would you react if every single day people you know and love were high on meth or crank, didn’t sleep for hours or days at a time and stayed up for 72 hours and more, got in fights, sold their cars to strangers for a gram or stole their housemates’ stuff? <br><br>How would you react if you went to party with your friend, or have a smoke, or go to an event, or go on a date, every single time, and meth was involved? <br><br>When and if you stop taking that stuff, How will you feel when you look back at a life that was the exact same pattern every single day and night of abuse, and how will you feel about the people around you who were also abusing it, who were high on it every single day, and how they treated you, and how you treated them, when you were all high on meth, and how they treated you when they were high but you weren’t? <br><br>How will you feel when you find out they were high on meth when they met you? How will you feel when you find out *YOU* were high on meth when you met? <br><br>The trippy, psychedelic effects of drugs like psychedelics or dissociatives come and go, but the high of stimulants lasts for hours. How does it feel to be high on meth, and then to be almost high, and still be high on meth, and then to come down? <br><br>Why do so many people end up in psych wards or jail when they take that stuff, and look so skeletal and frail and frail for years, and end up in the hospital? <br><br>You’ve done so many drugs. What’s so different about meth, or crack or heroin, or xanax or ket or k, that you’re so aggressively defending it and saying how much you love it, every single time someone brings it up? How is meth different from other drugs that you love so much? Why are you even taking it if it’s not good for your mental health? <br><br>Why do you want people to think that meth is safe, when you know it’s not? <br><br>When and if you actually do stop taking that stuff, and you look back on your life, the people you’ve met, your relationships, your jobs and your career, how do you think you’ll feel? Do you think you’ll ever be able to have a productive, fulfilling life free from stimulants? <br><br>If you have a history of addiction, why are you defending meth?
