I’ve heard them claim that it produces a “rush” that heightens the experience. Plus, using it alters your ability to make rational decisions. But it does so much more. If you’re a male it eventually leads to erectile dysfunction. And, since there are many ways to take it – smoke, snort, inject, there are other problems (besides the “regular” kidney/liver/heart stuff).
Two ways that are popular are snorting it and injecting it (using a syringe without a needle) into the anus.
For whatever reason, snorting it can lead to sores in the nose, throat and mouth, and injecting it in your butt can lead to sores in there too. Those sores are supposed to be nifty ways of contracting HIV. [Evidently, if you shoot meth-solution up your butt your intestine will absorb it.]
That’s what I learned from scanning around through different radio stations in the early morning hours a year or so ago… they were broadcasting some homo show out of Berkeley or somewhere and were talking about it.
Sounds like exciting stuff, but I think I'm gonna have to pass.
Oh gawd. Well that would explain the HIV connection. Geez. What is WRONG with these people?
Yeesh.
Caffiene is my drug of choice.
*chuckle*
Sounds like the 'bug chasers' are really, shall we say, chemically experimental people?
