I wonder if similar differences are seen with chronic cocaine abuse.

From what I've seen, methamphetamine makes cocaine and crack look like baby food by comparison. That stuff is incredibly dangerous, and when it fries you, you stay fried.

its the smoking, i think. some people use it as a cheap strong speed, orally or nasally, but many unfortunates start smoking the stuff and apparently thats when it spirals. the effect is different when smoked, too.

That's what I've seen too. The crackheads you can sometimes pull back. The tweakers are gone. They are broken people with broken brains, and no one knows how to fix them. I have met too many 20- and 22-year old tweakers who will never have "lives." They will have "existences" as paranoid vegetables, living in flophouse hotels and stealing and lying their way to the next hit.

The drug has been around as long as I have. But you never meet an old tweaker. You don't even meet any middle-aged tweakers. I've met 40-year-old crackheads. I've never seen a 40-year-old tweaker.
