Lol. Take it from someone who used meth for several years (and has been fully and quite easily recovered for almost 6 years now), all this "information" is dead wrong. Like so dead wrong. Heroin and meth aren't even comparable, ones a stimulant ones a depressant. Heroin is physically addictive, meth is not. You can not replace heroin with anything but methadone. And the oozing out your pores? LOL. No. Just no. Your skin breaks out due to stress on your body. My skin had the same type of break outs when I became naturally over tired and physically strained. Your skin doesn't itch when you do meth, trust me.
And the comment about the first high? I dunno man, that's certainly not why I used it every day. At first it was fun and controlled my weight, then I needed it just to stay awake and function at my government job. When I quit I also quit my job with the gov, and I slept for a very very long time.
I haven't been participating here, really I just read perb when I'm trying to avoid my studies, but when I see gross misinformation like this it gets under my skin the way it may get under your skin when you see gross misinformation about the sex industry being spewed by people who clearly have no idea what they're talking about.
Kudos to you if indeed you quit on your own!
However both are chemicals and physically addicting just like caffeine, alcohol, nicotine etc etc etc.
As a first time user one will get a physical high from Meth that far exceeds the physical high of any other chemical, speaking from my experience in treating and counselling thousands of addicts from California, to Van, to Calgary and Wpg.
The meth user develops sensory and visual hallucinations of bugs crawling on or inside of them. The user will begin picking at their skin to get rid of the bugs. I have seen users take scissors / knives to their arms to get at these bugs.
Meth causes a rise in body temperature and hence increased sweating in most. The sweat produced contains an enzyme that increases blood flow to your skin. The excess SUBSTANCE in your body is expelled through this sweat and in your urine. When the sweat evaporates it is acidic from the enzyme and SUBSTANCE, This acidic sweat removes the protective oils on the surface of your skin, this combined with the dehydration caused by the Meth causes the crawling sensation on the nerve endings in the skin, leading users to believe that bugs are crawling on them.

Just like you can smell garlic oozing from the pores of those that are heavy garlic eaters you can smell the by products of METH on a heavy user.
You are what you eat MEL.
