> If the supply chain for meth wasn't so poor, I'd probably try it once to see what all the hype is about.
As a former smoker and user of various drugs (mostly legal at the time), I highly recommend against usage of highly addictive drugs such as tobacco, heroin, cocaine, and also (meth)amphetamine (there's a difference between physically and mentally addiction here, and there's a good comparison of about 20 different drugs and their differences in dependency).
I recommend against recreational drug usage, too, but that's because I have come to the understanding they're not necessary, and it being dangerous not using drugs without supervision. You don't want those ups and downs (such as 'taking too much', or 'forgetting a dose'), you want stability. Seek help instead, get a diagnosis, and get prescription under supervision.
FWIW, I used amphetamine once, and have been prescribed on Ritalin. That one time I used amphetamine I felt like the biggest asshole in the world. I could finally understand macho men because I felt like one. However, unlike my first time MDMA, I can't say I missed out on it (and that is with only the first time MDMA). Whereas Ritalin, while spikey (no SR such as Concerta, sadly) provides stability if administered on regular intervals. Which can be solved nowadays with alarms on smartphone and such (back when I used it, smartphones were not yet widely in use).
