Just like i swallowed half my stash. I never, ever wanna crash.

Rock. 
Shard. 
Louis. 
Pipe.
Ice.
Gear. 
Crack. 
Crystal. 
Meth. 
Crystal meth.

Hard drugs are becoming more and more popular in my area, everyone seems to be on the meth pipe smoking ice. Half of the people smoking this combo of drain cleaner and battery acid don't even know what they are smoking.
About this time last year i got caught up with a group of people who were into smoking pipe. Im not talking a dabble here and there, these were hardcore, full time users. This included my then boyfriend which left me confused on what was right or wrong.
But it didn't start off that way, it escalated very quickly, before anyone knew it, the whole group was addicted and frying their brains.
As far as i can tell, the high is pretty shitty. Who wants to stay awake for days on end? And all of the weightloss because you lose your appetite? Plus its expensive, anywhere between $80-$100 a point?! 
No wonder we never seemed to have any money! My partner was spending it all on staying awake for another day, week, month. 
I don't think i saw him sleep for 3 months, his eyes sunk deeper and deeper into his skull and he wasted away to a tiny shadow. Himself, being a dealer, started ripping people off. The violence started and our relationship fell apart. 
Meth had pushed a massive wedge between us. And Meth took over the person i once loved. 
The lies got more and more twisted before i finally decided to get out of there. 

Im not here to brag or show off, but I've been in the thick of it. 
Ive seen $1000's of dollars of top quality gear. 
The seasoned criminals that make and take it. 
Girls who will do anything with anyone for a little bit.
The junkies and addicts. 
Pipes and needles. 
Overdoses. 
More then anyone should ever know about this filth. 
I came from a stable home and good family, my upbringing was normal. 
Ive never been in trouble with the law. 
I dont hang out in the bad part of town. 
The truth is every party, gathering, friend i catch up with, the pipe is mentioned. 
I cringe. If only they knew how dangerous that path can be. 
Once your in, your in. 
The drug laughs as it wraps its claws around you. 
"Just once", you think. 
Don't be so stupid. 
It will make you do things you never thought you would ever do. 
It will twist your head into a vault of lies and paranoia. 
Gear will speak to you in tounges and turn you against everything you love.
You think I'm over reacting? 
No. 
No one ever has their habit under control. 
Once you have a taste, your in its grips. 
It will always hold you.
It may be a week, or it may be 10 years before the ugliness boils to the surface.
Eventually everyone will surrender to the substance.
And Its not hard to get. Just ask around. 


Its time to come down, Australia. 
Put down the ice pipes. 
No more meth heads. 
Enough is enough.
