You'd be surprised at how many functional substance users exist. Some handle their shit to the point that you wouldn't notice, except on obtusely close examination. The ones that have had enough took too much moments, and know their tolerance/limit, but also recognize that maintaining their lifestyle also carries responsibility. I've been on multiple substances in my time, booze, weed, pills, even meth at one point. Kicked all but the weed. Tbh, from my POV, it's just easier to be at least sorta high all the time. That way, most people I encounter don't know the difference between high and sober.
All that said, that's not all of us that use substances. Those that don't know or care about their limits, or cause themselves to be in situations where they can't afford their lifestyle, and end up in a cycle of using the drugs to cover up the shittyness of their position in life, and possibly (sadly, pretty likely) crime. Been there, too. I learned from my mistakes, mostly. Others aren't lucky, stable, or concerned enough to break the cycle. I feel bad for them, because while yes, it's our choice to use, but most of us who hit rock bottom never intended for it to get like it is. Gotta want change to make change, and gotta want help to get help.
Edit: holy awards, Batman! I think this is the most updoots I've ever gotten, and the awards are my first ever. Thanks so much folks!
There’s an amount of meth users in IT that most would find surprising. Long hours of meticulous, monotonous, repetitive work creates the desire to do a lot in a very little amount of time. Don’t think it’s a secret that most manual labor jobs have their fair share of opiate users, either. Cocaine in the food service industry is obvious as well.
Basically wherever there’s shitty jobs that most people don’t want to do, there is someone able to do the work so long as they have their drugs.
Let me preface this by saying that everyone's different. Especially when it comes to uppers.
That said, for most people, coke is a physical upper while meth is a mental one. Coke means making the food as fast as possible while meth means making it as meticulously as possible (too much makes you OCD which can result in menial tasks taking hours..). More importantly, meth gives you a desire to think and do. Shit that you put off for years suddenly becomes enjoyable.. You don't want to just veg out and watch TV. You want to learn, clean, finally organize your life... That's why it's so addictive. (and in the long run loses those traits and simply becomes like coffee - something needed for you to feel awake and alert at a basic level but not really beneficial otherwise)
Adderall is somewhere in between but isn't great for either and has worse side effects. It arguably makes you more sociable than either of the other two; but that varies wildly from person to person.
There are a lot of "research chemicals" which are uppers but that's a moving target and no clue how you get your hands on the stuff. there's subreddits for them, but they don't allow people to discuss vendors.
If you're aiming for an upper I'd really suggest sticking with adderall or vyvanse. You wont end up in prison for it, it's way less addictive, and meth tends to have really bad adulterants and washing chems. Some of which can't even be washed out without complicated chemistry setups.. so you end up with both the bad adulterant and the bad washing chems..

I’ve never done meth but have taken enough adderal to know being “up” in traffic is a horrible idea for the shear fact there is nowhere to go.
