Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to play baseball, with a bunch of 5-foot-tall humans? That does not make sense! But more importantly, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer attacking a major recreational drug, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Legalization Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca plays baseball, you must try meth! The prosecution rests.

Last year I was researching Rehab places for a relative of a friend who is on crack. Crack and Meth are in the same class. Both have like 80% of addicts dying as addicts. Other drugs/alchohol can destroy lives. Meth and Crack are in a destructive class by themselves.

Unfortunately the nice treatment sales pitches I could find on the web don't tell the brutal truth.

Of course I am all for Wookies playing baseball.

Meth is not that different from adderall, and I'm sure most of us have done the latter, I actually preferred adderall as meth can be a little overwhelming and a more cloudy feeling as to adderall's crystal clear sensation. Opiates are what you want to avoid, careful with that hydrocodone people, sooner or later heroin will be on your to do list.

I in no way condone trying any of these substances, but people should know meth isn't some alien drug or something, and we practically put our kids on it.

It isn't really the, truth its wording he doesn't mention the dosing of the street and prescribed versions of the drugs, they're completely different. Meth is terrible and should be treated as such. Ediy: Grammer and such thanks krazyhand

[–]krazyhand 0 points1 point ago

I'm just going to be blunt here and say I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to say.

I'm still having difficulty seeing what you mean but from what I've seen you get what you pay for on or off the streets. Drug dealers scale their products to make money, as do pharmacies. You could argue that you don't really know what you are getting from a drug dealer, but you definitely know the amount because you are paying for it. The amount that you choose to take recreationally is your choice my friend. What you are prescribed is irrelevant. I've never met a user who payed too much attention to how much he was taking whether it came from that shady guy on the corner or your neighborhood Walmart.

[–]RU_Pickman 10 points11 points ago

Adderall is amphetamine and Desoxyn is methamphetamine. They are both actually very well researched drugs that have been on the market in one form or another for nearly a century.

The current societal stigma against these drugs is due to the propaganda war waged against them during the last couple decades. There is a large amount of misconceptions about both these drugs and addiction in general.

For instance many people point out that they know people who's lives have been "ruined," by methamphetamine. I am always quite shocked by this. It is interesting that people believe that a substance is capable by itself of ruining someone's life. The real truth is sadder.

Substances are substances. They are neither good or evil in the end. Substance abuse is destructive no doubt, but addiction to a substance is not just a function of chemistry. It is a function of individual choice. When a person chooses a substance over the well being of themselves or another, they chose to do so.

I think the reason we as a society would like to blame the substance for this kind of behavior, is because the alternative frightens us. To acknowledge that a person can choose such a destructive path of their own volition, so very easily, means that the observer must acknowledge they themselves are are also vulnerable to the same destruction. That they too walk the precipice.

[–]aejt 6 points7 points ago

I think it's easy to say that it's their choice to do so, whereas in reality it's VERY hard to stop it once you're hooked. Although, I don't know, I've never been addicted to any substance.

[–]krazyhand 2 points3 points ago

I like this answer, In my opinion you're both right. You can choose to do it, but once you've made up your mind on it people don't just turn around and flip the script and say 'Oh yeah I used to do that every day but now I'm cool on it.' But come on how many success stories about people who stopped are accompanied by a mind blowing reason? Like a son or a daughter that came in to the equation, or a traumatic event like ending up in the hospital. I like your response and just thought I'd tell you why you deserved one more upvote.

[–]CorneliusTumblecunt 1 point2 points ago

That's very true, it often takes something extreme to happen before a hardcore addict turns their life around, but not everyone has an extreme addiction.

Society has a warped view of addiction - anti-drug campaigns like 'not even once' perpetuate the idea that once you try something, you will immediately be hooked and will end up sucking dick just to get a fix. In my experience this is far from the truth. Hardcore addicts are almost invariably filling a hole in their life with drugs; they try meth one day and suddenly they forget that their life is fucked up and miserable, so they keep taking it because when they're sober their life is horrible and when they're high they're on top of the world. This applies to any drug, the most common of which is probably alcohol.

Normal people with normal lives are much less prone to becoming hardcore addicts. I know someone who has a 9-5 job who takes heroin on the weekends, but is otherwise living a productive and fulfilling life. It's an addiction, but it's something he can control (for the time being at least) because he's not filling a gap.

[–]alarindris 0 points1 point ago

You don't get hooked in a day. It takes months and months of regular use. It is a definite choice.

[–]MadWombat 2 points3 points ago

Well, in its pure form (the way they show in breaking bad) crystal meth is relatively safe (as far as serious uppers go). That is to say, it stresses your cardiovascular system to a breaking point, it is fairly addictive and it burns your sinuses to a crisp. In the long run it will also make you lose weight and have psychotic episodes. It is pretty much on the same danger level as cocaine, so you can try it a few times and unless you have an affinity to get addicted to stuff you should be fine. As a person who tried cocaine many times and compared notes with people who were on meth, I can say that it doesn't sound particularly interesting. For a truly unforgettable drug experience I would recommend LSD, MDMA, mescalin and salvia divinorum (not all at once of course :).

The skin sores, falling out hair and other fun stuff is mostly the result of street meth being full of crap chemicals, both byproducts of the synthesis and stuff dealers use to cut it.

[–]tunapepper 1 point2 points ago

They are actually very different. Generally, Amphetamine (Adderall) is not considered to be addictive, while methamphetamine is considered highly addictive.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]BigDogSmallCar 0 points1 point ago

Adderall comes in dosages of like 5 mg tablets and are prescribed enough to treat symptoms, not get you high. I wouldn't know but I assume when you did meth you were taking active drug in grams, which is a much larger dose of methamphetamine even if you just took one gram. Basically, Adderall is meth, just in a small dose.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]BigDogSmallCar 0 points1 point ago

I was not aware that adderall went that high. Thank you for the info.

[–]lawlamanjaro 0 points1 point ago

at much smaller than doses than street doses, methamphetamine can be prescribed for ADHD, but also its important to know that a methyl group chemically can make a HUGE difference in properties.

[–]zhode 0 points1 point ago

Well both are in the amphetamine class of drugs and thus have very similar stimulating effects. Also amphetamines tend to have their side effects go away after quitting. Opiates such as heroin or morphine usually addict on the first hit. The withdrawal from that first hit will come approximately 6 hours later and will require another dosage to subside. This is the reason that hospitals have to slowly wean someone off of morphine after a surgery.

[–]aejt 1 point2 points ago

Are you sure about that? I've heard MANY stories about people trying opiates once (or a few times) without getting addicted at all.

[–]zhode -1 points0 points ago

They will typically addict and cause withdrawal very quickly, at least on standard dosages. The frequency of withdrawal has been well document, there may be people out there who are using diluted variants of the drugs or avoided the withdrawal.

[–]perceptionwizard -2 points-1 points ago

Meth is not like Adderall. Adderalll is like coke. Methamphetamine is like Ritalin. Hence the actual medical terms for each.

While we are here, meth and crack (street version) are a different beast from the parents - They are chemically different. Though calling someone a meth addict is the same as calling one a crackhead. Those are one in the same, pretty much.

You are right about feeding it to kids, but your dead wrong about the relations. crack and (street) meth are terrible butt buddies.

"Cocaine is a naturally occuring product from the coca leaf, which goes through a process of refinement and washing. Meth is a purely chemically manufactured drug. The coke high is relatively short. If it's snorted, the effect is slightly slower than injection or smoking, which is why crack became so popular (the intense and immediate high). But it doesn't last long, and the crash was a downside. Crystal is much longer acting, and it can be snorted smoked or injected. It's speed. It causes all the systems in the central nervous system to accelerate. It depletes the dopamine and seratonin that are needed for normal functioning. While you're on it, like coke, you feel euphoric. The downside is the depression. Part of the downside of sustained use is paranoia and aggressiveness. Both meth and crack cocaine are associated with paranoia and aggressiveness on the downside.

Remember that the way the drug works is to generate excessive dopamine, so the brain can only produce so much at any given time, which is what creates the effect of constantly increasing the dosage. You have to keep using more to get less high, which makes them frustrated. With natural brain chemicals depleted, you find the irritability and paranoia. Plus digestion, circulation, muscular movement don't work right."

[–]ebolaRETURNS 9 points10 points ago

You seem a bit confused. Meth and Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts) are monoamine releasers, meth with a duration of 8-12 hours, Adderall with a duration of 4-8. Cocaine and Ritalin (racemic methylphenidate) are monoamine reuptake inhibitors, the former with a duration of .5-1.5 hrs., the latter lasting just a few hours. In this way, meth is rather similar to Adderall.

The reasons that people tend to have poor outcomes with meth in particular are that the long duration is quite unwieldy and vaporization lends itself to compulsive dosing schedules.

[–]perceptionwizard -2 points-1 points ago

although the molecular structure is almost identical, there is one difference that makes - the - difference.

I am not saying one is better than the other - I pointing out that they are not one in the same.

Ritalin is not a mixed amphetamine salt - it is methylphenidate.

[–]perceptionwizard 2 points3 points ago

actually I lie. I am saying one is better than the other. If you are going to do anything, just do coke. Adderall as the legal choice.

Crack just means you gave up on life and all hope is gone.

Anything with meth in the title - RUN.

[–]ebolaRETURNS 0 points1 point ago

Anything with meth in the title - RUN.

No, this just means that a compound is closely related to another compound, but with a methyl group bonded somewhere to the molecule. METHamphetamine and METHylphenidate are structurally unrelated. Methylene-dioxy-METH-amphetamine is not particularly similar in effects to METHamphetamine.

[–]perceptionwizard 0 points1 point ago

no shit sherlocks.

[–]BigDogSmallCar 0 points1 point ago

OMG guys, stop swinging your dicks around. They are both the same thing.

[–]ebolaRETURNS 0 points1 point ago

although the molecular structure is almost identical, there is one difference that makes - the - difference.

Actually, there are several differences: methamphetamine is more selective for dopamine over norepinephrine than amphetamine, releases a small but appreciable amount of serotonin, lasts longer, and is a bit more neurotoxic for several reasons.

[–]perceptionwizard 0 points1 point ago

please enlighten us of the several reasons. Without using wikipedia.

[–]IdoNotFollow 1 point2 points ago

Do not take Ritalin. If you are a habitual user for school with exams and papers then stick to vyvanse rather than adderall. It is easier to control abuse. Never do meth or crack. Ever. I know people often use blow recreationally more often... Be careful. I am not encouraging usage among any of these substances. I am just giving my two cents as someone who as seen the transformation people can make taking any of these drugs. I am not an expert or a pharmacist btw but I have witnessed this kind of thing first hand. Cheers!

[–]ebolaRETURNS 1 point2 points ago

Well, the mechanism of meth's neurotoxicity is not entirely understood, but a few are:

  1. meth's affinity for the serotonin transporter, as concurrent dopamine and serotonin release tend to be neurotoxic.
  2. meth's a more non-polar molecule, increasing diffusion across neural cell-membranes. and
  3. meth more reliably inhibits synthesis of dopamine, exacerbating its depletion.

Dunno what you have against wikipedia--many of the pharmacology articles are pretty well done.

[–]OverfedBird 0 points1 point ago

[–]zdiggler 0 points1 point ago

Actually first time is really really good, and its actually feels like movie Limitless, fucking awesome.

Make you talk a lot, strike conversation with peoples, it actually open me up a bit, I used to be real shy to talk to new people.

Make you feel like fixing things. Going places that you normally won't want to go and socialize.

Read a lot, when I used to do it years ago I actually read like 10 books and really got into reading books too.

BUT. like any drug if you do too much drug will DO YOU and you don't want that.

Also its better to take a long break before doing it again. that way your tolerance will go low and be like first time again.

Also if you continuously do it as habit, it doesn't give you any energy, doesn't make you talkative, doesn't make you feel like doing anything ( just twek on one thing forever like looking for something in the box, keep looking for that something that doesn't exists). Its completely opposite from the first time doing it.

Gotta brush your teeth and drink a lot of water.

I'm not believer of somebody telling us what not to do!

[–]SicCorona -4 points-3 points ago

Anything can be addicting and tear up lives. Doctors feed children drugs that are just like meth throughout their whole lives and then wonder why kids grow up and do a lot of drugs.

Meth is fine. Addiction is a choice you make. Do the drugs, don't let them do you.

[–]zhode 3 points4 points ago

The adderall doctors prescribe for things like adhd are very effective in suppressing symptoms. Also adderall isn't nearly as addicting as many street drugs.

[–]RU_Pickman 1 point2 points ago

Adderall is amphetamine. Don't delude yourself. Look it up if you don't believe me. Amphetamine is addictive.

[–]zhode 0 points1 point ago

It is an amphetamine, keyword an. According to wikipedia it is a mix of the amphetamine salts racemic amphetamine aspartate monohydrate, racemic amphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetamine saccharide, and dextroamphetamine sulfate. Also I said not nearly as addicting, all amphetamines are addicting to my knowledge but they are among the least addictive as opposed to the standard street meth which puts its users at a much higher risk. Also street drugs do not carry the same standards ones produced in the medical industry do and as such it is much easier to overdose on a particularly strong batch of street meth.

[–]RU_Pickman 0 points1 point ago

Those salts are all a product of different methods of synthesis. They are all however amphetamine. Standard street methamphetamine is not amphetamine, but the methods of synthesis are similar. The only real difference being the purity expected in medical grade drugs.

[–]zhode 0 points1 point ago

They are various different kinds of amphetamine yes. However they vary in intensities and durations as well as in side effects. However meth is in fact an amphetamine, look in its name meth-amphetamine.

[–]corbettdarling 0 points1 point ago

But, I know from personal experience--it CAN be addictive, it can fuck up your life, and it can fuck with your ability to function without it after prolonged use.

[–]SicCorona -5 points-4 points ago

Addiction is all in your mind. It's always a choice. Only the weak succumb to it and only the sheep believe in it.

[–]zhode 1 point2 points ago

Have you tried drugs before? Then got off them? There's a physical dependency there and in many cases the withdrawal can kill you.

[–]SicCorona 0 points1 point ago

Of course I have tried (still do on occasion) many drugs. There's a thing called moderation. It's what makes all drugs enjoyable.

Unless it's marijuana. No need for moderation on that.

[–]zhode 0 points1 point ago

Because lung cancer so doesn't need moderation. It's still smoke no matter what, and smoke can damage tissue. Yes there is moderation but addiction can still occur even in lesser dosages.

[–]SicCorona 0 points1 point ago

vaporize...avoid lung cancer

[–]jarihuana 0 points1 point ago

The evidence doesn't really agree with you.

"Observational studies of subjects with marijuana exposure failed to demonstrate significant associations between marijuana smoking and lung cancer after adjusting for tobacco use."

[–]zhode 1 point2 points ago

http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.answers.php?questionID=000234 Marijuana while not producing as much risk in lung cancer does cause smoke damage, irritating the lungs and increasing chances for respiratory and pulmonary illnesses.

[–]jarihuana 1 point2 points ago

1) This is a systematic review, it is essentially one giant scientific study which statistically analyzes the data from other studies. It is really more than just one source since this SR mathematically quantifies the findings of 19 different studies and is primary data (unlike your sources which have been filtered through an author, are outdated, or cite various propaganda organizations like the Office Of National Drug Control Policy and the White House Drug Policy in their footnotes).

2) Like the review, my comment was only pertaining to lung cancer and marijuana. I don't give a shit about whatever else you have to post about marijuana because I'm not interested in going through all the various benefits/dangers of one particular drug.

3) In response to your first point, you've clearly skipped this recent study: "Occasional and low cumulative marijuana use was not associated with adverse effects on pulmonary function."

4) It isn't relevant to me if marijuana has addictive properties since I never said it didn't. So does food. Coffee addiction has the same (if not worse) withdrawal symptoms than those listed in point 3 so it seems a lot like scare tactics.

5) The data is conflicting so I'm not going to get into a search war with you. Clearly OP's comment "Unless it's marijuana. No need for moderation on that" is a bit of a joke considering nearly anything on Earth taken to excess can be detrimental. Smoking marijuana certainly has been shown in the data to have certain negative effects. I was only correcting your misconception about marijuana and lung cancer so I'm not looking to debate you any further on the topic.

[–]WasatchDuck 22 points23 points ago

This is true. If anything, while on meth, you'll be calculating the speed of the baseball while keeping score in your head while blasting some electronica all while cleaning out the dugout. You'd probably be able to see the pours on the pitchers skin and smell his sweat, it will put everything in HD. Unless they were going for hallucinations caused by sleep depravation after tweaking for a week straight.

[–]zdiggler 1 point2 points ago

Tweak for 4 days and smoke on the last day, a lot of visuals and sounds.

[–]Vromrig 7 points8 points ago

It's a fair guess that if they used meth enough to be able to accurately describe what it did in a one frame visual medium, they wouldn't be able to get a marketing job at all.

[–]RU_Pickman 2 points3 points ago

I think that most of the hallucinations attributed to meth are actually caused by extreme sleep deprivation or impurities.

[–]lollermittens 1 point2 points ago

Hallucinations happen with meth because people go on binges where they don't sleep for 3-5 days and start seeing ghosts, hearing doors shut, and seeing shit fly in the sky.

It's a lack of sleep and a failure to give rest to your brain that causes the hallucinations.

[–]Man_Raptor 0 points1 point ago

That's not correct. Many stimulants deprive the brain of neurephedrine which causes the paranoia.

[–]degenererad 1 point2 points ago

yeah, if you wanna see chewie, go for the shrooms!

[–]cuntcrust 1 point2 points ago

you won't see that shit on shrooms either.

[–]zdiggler 1 point2 points ago

I only hallucination when I stayed up for like 4 - 5 days and smoke a lot of weed on the last day.

That was like 15 years ago before the crystal and everything is white powder and smell like chicken shit. Probably different shit out there now days that make you weird.

[–]cbdckr 1 point2 points ago

This isn't an add, the guy who played Chewie did a tour of minor league baseball and he went to a few stadiums, he even threw the opening pitch so this picture is from one of those games and then someone added the text. The dude throws like a girl btw.

[–]gordonmcdowell -1 points0 points ago

Or shit about keeping people who've never tried drugs from using drugs.

That it is inaccurate is not nearly as annoying as how ineffective it would appear to be.

[–]BandGeek4Life 4 points5 points ago

I guess you could say that Chewbacca is a southpaw...

[–]muopioid 6 points7 points ago

Methamphetamine is actually FDA approved for ADHD and obesity. Meth is not significantly more dangerous than adderall or dexedrine (which are the same as meth, minus a methyl group) when taken orally. The danger from meth comes from it being smoked/injected, whereby the abuser gets an instant rush and is therefore conditioned to compulsively redose, much to the dismay of his ordinary bodily functions (eating, sleeping, etc.). While methamphetamine is devilishly addictive, it isn't particularly dangerous with conservative, responsible use much like almost any other drug. The media are mostly reporting meth stories involving the most extreme forms of use. Most people who try meth either don't like it due to its profoundly powerful stimulant effects, or use it responsibly.

Adderall is to meth as morphine is to heroin. Heroin and meth, by their chemical nature, bypass the blood brain barrier much more efficiently (indeed heroin is converted into morphine in the brain), but ultimately they work in exactly the same way as their often-prescribed and "less dangerous" counterparts.

TL;DR Methamphetamine is derived from bull testicle specimens.

[–]perceptionwizard 0 points1 point ago

well said, mostly.

[–]morth666 10 points11 points ago

Try acid instead. :)

[–]knomz 11 points12 points ago

yeah that ad is a horrible way to make people not want meth, mething around sounds fun when you put one of my favorite characters from a movie series into baseball, like who thought of this one?

[–]calliethedestroyer 2 points3 points ago

Sometimes I think that adults who write drug ads purposefully try to make drugs sounds interesting/fun.

[–]ebolaRETURNS 2 points3 points ago

I think that it might be some sort of 'joke'.

[–]iambookus 4 points5 points ago

So is this a "Don't try Meth" thing or an advertisement for it?

[–]wowshamwow 3 points4 points ago

Doing meth isn't normal. But on meth it is.

[–]elaphros 8 points9 points ago

I do believe these advertisers have confused meth with acid...

[–]rehsarht 5 points6 points ago

Totally. This is a stupid PSA if it's real. Like the OP said, I think it would make some people think, "Shit, that sounds like a good time, I'ma get me some METH!"

[–]alarindris 0 points1 point ago

That shit doesn't even happen with acid.

[–]elaphros 0 points1 point ago

I beg do differ. Not that I've ever done that officer.... ahem.

[–]elaphros 0 points1 point ago

Also, if you really think that level of crazy doesn't happen on acid, read some of these: http://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_LSD_Bad_Trips.shtml

[–]trshtehdsh 2 points3 points ago

I tried math once. Messed up my head. Reduced me to a mewling idiot. Fortunately it was so awful I never wanted to go back, but damn, i've got friends who just love math. It's all they talk about. Shit, I know people who went on to get kids hooked on the stuff.

It's bad shit, man.

[–]AcousticWalrus 1 point2 points ago

Dang Chewbacca needs a bath or shower his hair is MAT-TED

How awesome would baseball be if all the players were on meth? Guys crushing 500ft home runs, outfielders sprinting up to 25mph climbing the walls like spider man robbing home runs left and right.

People know absolutely nothing about meth, do they?

[–]seriked 1 point2 points ago

I promised myself to never take anything like meth, cocaine, or heroin. But if anything, this just makes me want to try meth.

[–]fckdup 1 point2 points ago

... are you sure?

[–]jelloleaf 1 point2 points ago

Yes, because Meth decided to change to a hallucinogen.

I've come to the conclusion that the people doing these ads have probably been on meth for too long.

There's nothing "flashy" about a brand new Nissan Altima...

Just like the people who drive their Honda Civics/Accords or Toyota Camrys/Corollas like a fucking race car: stop, just stop. You're endangering every one on the road and you're only making a fucking idiot out of yourself.

The worst is in rush hour traffic when some douchebag who's been driving behind you for 5 minutes wants to gain 10 seconds on his shitty commute and tries to get in front of you while you're keeping 1.5-2 cars distance to be safe. I LOVE dropping down my car to third gear and fucking making sure they never get in front of me and get stuck in the lane they were using to pass me by. The pissed-off look on their faces when they merge back behind me is priceless.

[–]KelseyLeila 0 points1 point ago

I once snorted a .2 gram line of Molly at a party (genius, I know). Ten minutes later, one of my friends told me he noticed it had been laced with meth. He had done the same amount I had, so I don't know why the hell he didn't say something sooner, or, I don't know, not done meth. The most terrifying thing about that night was.... I think if I hadn't been freaking out about the fact that I'd just accidentally done meth, I would have really enjoyed it. I now understand why people still do it knowing the risks and how it is so addicting. If he hadn't told me before it hit me and made me freak out the whole time, who knows where I could be now?

[–]StrangeCaptain 0 points1 point ago

agreed. This ad seems to have been created by 1st grade teachers

[–]the_internet_clown 0 points1 point ago

i guess i better start doing meth

[–]Fuligan_Cloak 0 points1 point ago

If you think Adderall is in any way, shape or form the same....you're going to have a bad time

[–]IBreakTheSafe 0 points1 point ago

meth doesnt do that..

you know your coldpills with ephedrine? meth is desoxyephedrine aka ephedrine minus an oxygen molecule

the real dangers come from people doing onepot cooks in gatoraid bottles because the hydroiotic acid leeches the plastic into it

made in labware, i2+rp+eph is really quite safe and clean

street stuff is cut with msm and other nastyness that causes bugs ect..
