    I have never known anyone that I would consider a moderate user of meth. While I'm sure some may exist for the vast majority of users it's an all or nothing thing.

    About an hour ago this girl came in the store and I reached over the counter to hand her her change and I could see an obvious abscess and track marks all up and down her arm. A damn shame because she's fairly young and pretty. A few more years of that life and she'll look 20 years older

    But what can you do you can't say anything to someone like that, you can't make anyone change until they're ready to.

    Y'all want to see something crazy? ( I'm going to take a wild guess and say the guys probably familiar with meth....) Google "man crushes hornet nest and eats it"

    I would post it but I'm on this stupid smartphone and I don't know how to do that unless I'm on a laptop.

    You can say "When you want to quit come see me, I've been there." For all you know she may want to but feels isolated and just needs an invite.. But you are right, they have to decide for it to stick.

    I have known a few, I used meth recreationally in my younger years, never got addicted though - I have known one that did though, and it was bad

    I think drugs affect us all differently

    I think addiction is a health concern, not criminal

    but like with alcohol, one can commit crimes on drugs, that is the criminal part

    I think addiction happens from doing a drug repeatedly for days on end, and can happen in weeks, due to epigenetics, the trick it to space your use, even of alcohol, not over do it, too much of a good thing, can be bad for you

    I think, what you are talking about here is physical habituation. IMO addiction is a mental phenomenon. That would be how you get people who are addicted to processes (e.g. gambling or sex) as well as substances. As it was explained to me in rehab, an addict's brain reacts differently from a normal brain in the presence of the addiction. Process or chemical, the addict's brain lights up like a pinball machine, while with the normie it's primarily the pleasure center.

    the receptors change with repeated use, it becomes a physical addiction, epigenetics allows are bodies to adapt
