How close is MDMA to Meth?

I've never done meth nor plan on it but how close MDMA to meth, I know it has the meth(methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine) part in its chemical name but I'm not to sure what this means.

Thanks in advance for answearing my noob question.

 

the difference is more important than the similarities - the primary effect of mdma is on serotonin as opposed to dopamine - although mdma does effect dopaminergic systems.

whats with all the meth hate though (not just you but in general), fuckin hell, regular mdma use will turn a person into slush more than regular meth use - but meth promotes its own use more because you can keep going hard with meth longer then you can with mdma.

 

Meth is extremely addictive- ask me how I know. And the addiction is terrible and turns you into a paranoid zombie. It is the worst way to live. Stay away! Nobody takes it thinking they can become an addict. Its always "that won't happen to me".

 

ive tried meth plenty and i dont think its absolute than it will fuck someone up - its just a challenge to control it. like anything thats really fun. it directly affects your decision making chemicals - making it require control to overcome - which is easier said than done. but you can enjoy it without becoming retarded. in fact its more enjoyable when you dont need it.

 

it is indeed a challenge to control. 20+ years ago I experimented with everything. And I could control all of them, except meth. Yeah, I thought I could control it. But little by little, it wore me down. The use slowly became more and more frequent.

Started out just every once in a while...
Then I found myself actually searching for it on the weekends because it kept me going all weekend...
Then I started "saving" some from the weekend because I just "knew" Monday at work was gonna be rough due to the partying I had done over the weekend...
Then I started buying enough on the weekend so that if things were going rough at work on any particular day (beyond Monday), I would have a little pick me up...
Then it became normal to just go ahead and have a pick me up in the afternoon every day...
Then...
I woke up one day, didn't have any, and started calling everyone I knew looking for some...
Didn't take a rocket scientist to realize I had a problem... That "problem" had developed slowly over an 8 month period. And when I realized it, I didn't care. And continued carrying that problem for another year. Finally looked around me a realized that I had lost so much weight I looked like a skeleton. My bank account was empty. I had lost contact with my entire family because I didn't want them to see what I had become. I lost contact with all my old friends, and replaced them with "friends" that used meth. And I was in a constant state of paranoia...

The darkest days of my life! And anyone that thinks it won't happen to them- just keep telling yourself that. Meth lies!

BTW- I was 19 at the time

 

meth is fuckin gay....at least E is worth all the brain damage....personally i dont thinnk ANY DRUG or any feeling is worth the meth crash

 

Would you test positive for Methamphetamine use if you used Ecstacy? I mean...it's right there in the name...

 

The reason I want to stay away from meth is because It is much more addicting than MDMA, also I think harder on the heart...

Any ways how close are the two, are the effects comparibole?

 

You will test positive for amphetamine...but more specifically MDMA. I took a UA test and was doing meth and MDMA the day before. The MDMA showed for the meth. It wasnt no rinky-dink test either.

 

no

 

My thoghts exactly.

Hell I've done an assload of meth in my day and it never made me steal or cheat people or anything else people insist that meth users do. Its the same as assuming someone is a gang member because they are black. I've stayed up for eight days on meth, and while some wacky shit went on, I wasnt the meth fiend people insist i had to have become.

 

Well I don't hate meth cus it might lead to cirme...
I hate meht becaus eI hate the idea of staying up for 8 days.

 

lol you only stay up for 8 days if you keep taking it like an idiot. again and again. for 8 days!! lol.
the crash has never been bad after one or two nights up. weed is the cure. weed and valium and stuff.

 

yeah, some weed and some benzos are key for a tweek comedown.

hey, some of us like that whole 8 day amphetamine psychosis multiple personality stuff . . .

 

its one of the lowlife pressures on a brain, similar in detriment to huffing solvents or being an alcoholic. so thats fine if you like it but it doesnt need to be assumed as the standard way of taking meth.

 

I do like the alertness and clarity of MDMA I imagine thats the positives of meth, but still not really my thing.

 

agreed, i can see why u might wna do it but its just not worth getting adicted to, tbh mdma and abit of speed, But if u get adicted it screws with you, any1 seen the meth adicts video on youtube showing them before and after, its rough ,

I feel bad but I laughed at most of the people...

 

^wow....thats fucked.

MDMA>meth...ive done alot of MDMA, and i mean alot...in like a 6 month span and its never done anything to my physical appearance. Some of those people look like they came out of an extreme make-over chainsaw edition.

 

that is sad, my brother used to deal meth for free meth and now he's in the army and says trying meth was the worst mistake of his life. he's never ever had problems with e though.
