> You seem like a bright guy. Don't get into Crystal Meth. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the list of most addictive substances known to man goes like this: 1.Nicotine 2.Methamphetamine 3.Crack.... You get the idea.
You are wrong. Opiates are more addictive that amphetamines. Stimulants can be very psychologically addictive but their physical addiction potential is low. Cocaine/crack is not at all physically addictive, btw.
Alcohol is more physically addictive than meth and kills more people....do you ever drink?

> And don't give me bullshit about not having an "addictive personality". It's always the shy nervous ones who find a quick fix for their problems who become raging alcoholics or benzyl alcoholics.I'm not the shy nervous type so I can't comment. Regardless, I doubt it's possible to generalize so broadly...
> Meth gives you a high so amazing that nothing in real life can compare. I mean, it feels better than that first kiss, that first roller coaster ride, that first time at the stadium. Really it does. How can anything else compare to a powder that can give you all that instantly?
You are wildly exaggerating. MDMA may compare a bit to a first kiss...but that's where the drug/real life comparisons stop. Yeah, meth is great fucking high...but it's not the best thing ever. And if you think it is, you haven't experienced life fully.

> I'm not saying don't use it, or that it's going to do damage from a few times, but I can't tell you how many seemingly normal, whitebread straight edge kids I've seen flicking needles a week after doing meth. But don't take my word for it.A WEEK? For chrissake, take your goddamn propaganda elsewhere. You remind me of the DARE cop who told me that he saw a some guy on 'angel dust' (ie pcp) "take his eyeballs out with his own hands". Scare tactics are lame.

> Don't use your experience on meth as a guideline to how you want to feel or what medicine you want to be on. EVERYONE feels how you did on meth.This part at least is true. You can't be on meth all the time and nor should you be...you need to know how to deal with life in other ways.
> If you want to be dead or in jail quick, or get a >random assortment of movement disorders >then become a hedonist.Guess what, not EVERYONE who does drugs goes to jail or dies or develops parkinsons...in fact most people don't! So stop spewing out this kind of nonsense..
> I would stick with the SSRI's and maybe add a stimulant like ritalin or something. Just don't be a pussy and take the easy way out, be a man. Trust me you'd probably never know but I was painfully shy too, and I couldn't even imagine how I'd be now. Hang in there.
This advice is alright...though I still despise ritalin. I don't think he is a 'pussy' though for being shy.
