Fun
With Meth
In this short story, the
main character
recounts their experience with meth growing
up, and how they
learned
to love
meth. From
struggles to find
where they
belong to the
thrill of doing hard meth, the
main character
inspires us to seek friendships
and try new
things.
I didnโt always enjoy doing meth. When I
was younger,
I
thought
meth was gross.
It was for those kinds of people.
The
kinds of people
I
would never hang out
with. Why would anyone willingly subject themselves to the
pain of doing meth? I
would soon
find
out
for
myself.
This is my story.
It all started in middle
school.
After years of anti-meth conditioning from
books,
TV, and the
media, my
opinion on meth was that it was painful, only done
by crazy
people,
and I
would never enjoy doing it. The
one
place
that didnโt have
any of that? The
internet.
I was probably only 11 or 12 years old
when I
discovered a thriving community of meth users
on the
internet.
They
were all so
passionate about doing meth and wanted to share the
thrill with the
world.
Because of the
stigma surrounding the
topic, it wasnโt always mainstream, but
for
those in the
know, there wasnโt anything like
this out
there. The
meth was always presented
cleanly by people
who you
could tell
were captivated by the
meth.
I thought
to myself, โWow.
If these people
could have
so
much fun
doing meth, maybe I
can do meth too!โ Slowly, I
was warming
up to the
idea
of doing meth. I
still
didnโt think
I
was old
enough, and it still
felt out
of reach, especially the
hard stuff.
I
didnโt know if I
could handle
it. I
lurked in the
meth community, savoring
every conversation, every video,
every post.
I
didnโt tell
anyone about my
discovery for
fear
of backlash. I
didnโt want to be known as โthat kidโ at school.
Wow.
If these people
could have
so
much fun
doing meth, maybe I
can do meth too!
Fast forward
a couple
of years, and I
was entering
high
school.
I
heard
some rumors that there were plenty of people
who did meth at my
school,
so
I
was excited to find
out.
I
tried to do meth at home,
using resources I
found online, but
I
wasnโt very good
at it and gave up. I
thought
that maybe if I
could find
local meth users,
I
could get
some help
doing meth.
One day, I
decided to hang around after school
to see
if anyone was doing meth. This was the
best decision of my
life.
In one
of the
classrooms
was a group
of kids doing meth with two
adults. The
other kids called
them the
โMeth Lordsโ.
They
welcomed me in, and while I
was nervous
at first,
I
warmed
up enough to ask them what
they
were doing. The
meth they
were doing looked
like
the
hard stuff,
and they
were doing it so
quickly too! I
told them that I
wanted to do meth but
didnโt feel like
I
was โworthyโ enough to do so
and was intimidated. They
very generously broke down
the
meth into smaller
chunks and walked me through doing it step
by step.
They
even
let me take some home!
I
was so
happy!
One
day, I
decided to hang around after school
to see
if anyone was doing meth.
That night, I
stayed up to do meth. The
thrill was unbelievable. All the
things I
took for
granted before finally made sense. The
world
felt wide open.
I
didnโt get
much sleep
that night.
The next
day, I
tried doing some more
meth. This time,
however, was different. It took me longer
to finish, and I
even
started
to get
a little frustrated.
My
body wasnโt able to handle
it, so
I
gave up and went to bed.
After school
the
next
day, I
found one
of the
Meth Lords
who just told me to keep trying. Which is what
I
did. The
thrill when finally finishing was incredible. I
had never experienced anything like
that before. I
was truly addicted.
From that moment on, my
life
revolved around meth. I
saw
meth everywhere. I
began to appreciate the
meth that people
did to bring us the
world.
I
tried to dabble in a little bit of chemistry
to see
if I
could do more
meth there, but
the
chemistry
kids told me that they
didnโt actually do that much meth. If I
wanted hard meth, Iโd have
to do physics.
I quickly learned
that physics
was not
for
me, and while I
appreciated all the
hard meth they
were doing, it didnโt have
that same thrill. I
enjoyed doing meth just to do meth. Sometimes, it would be useful, but
that wasnโt what
I
was seeking.
To this day, I
continue
to do meth, even
if I
only do some of the
lighter
stuff,
saving
the
hard stuff
for
weekends or special occasions. It brings me joy
to see
younger
generations doing meth and having
fun
too!
To this day, I
continue
to do methโฆ
Meth connects us all, from the
universe to each other. Itโs something we
share across cultures,
a tool
we
use to explore. Iโve always had fun
with meth. I
hope
you
do as well.
