Having just watched the documentary Still on AppleTV, i cannot help but think that Michael J Fox should listen to this episode.

About 30 mins in and I am a recovering methhead I can tell you why they smoke so much. It feels good like taking a big hit is very satisfying and then gets reinforced through the amphetamine

Subjectively speaking, as someone who has used and ABUSED every enantiomer and combination of these substances, for whatever reason D-meth seems to be more physiologically tolerable at enormous doses than D-amph. I suspect it’s a matter of central vs. peripheral effects.. maybe?
It's pretty insane that we've let them take all of the plant medicines, patent them and sell them back to us. And put you in prison for growing your own.

Interesting interview. I agree 100% with the Big Pharma only in it for profit. Look no futher than HCQ and Ivermectin for that proof.

Salt form, specifically methamphetamine hydrochloride.

Do people smoke meth freebase or is it in a salt form
