Over-amped on crank

Hi, I am a 26 year old male and until a few months ago I hadn't experienced any illegal drugs other than marijuana.  Several nights ago I smoked crank, its probably the 4th or 5th time I've tried it now.  I think I smoked way too much in a short amount of time because it didn't feel right at all.  My heart was racing and I couldn't calm down.  I feel really stupid about it now because I just couldn't stop smoking it until it was gone and now I am paying the price.  I haven't been able to sleep much at all the last 3 nights.  Also Im not sure if it was coming from my stomach or my lungs but I was throwing up small white chunks that looked like the crank and last night it also looked like a little blood.  I'm really worried I might have damaged myself.  After this experience I have vowed never to do any hard drugs again and will stick with the marijuana.  I am thinking of seeing a doctor but I am ashamed of what I did and would rather it just go away on its own.

Hi strcch:

i'm a 50 year old who has 18 years clean of drugs. previous to

that i've spent my whole life since the age of 14 doing drugs iv.

coke was the first drug i ever shot up. i thought that coke was

over-rated and for sissies. Now methadrine--ah you get your moneys

worth of rush and zoom. Listen to Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisitid." There is a song on there called "it takes a lot to laugh,it takes a train to cry." This song hits the crank expierence

right on the head. Now your young and probably have an excess of good health- see that's the target market for speed (crank). now

that song i told you about, it was written in the mid '60s when i

was shooting crank. nothing has changed much since then. nothing

new happens in  the world of drugs (except what happens once you get clean).



Do your self a favor go get honest and checked out by a doctor. if

you were like me when i did crank, do the doctor a favor- take a

bath, brush your teeth, and put on some clean clothes before you

go see him.... trust me on this one, i can smell a crank head before i see one. do yourself a favor- clean up your body, clean

up your act.

SEED IS FOR KIDS AND PEOPLE WITH TO MUCH GOOD HEALTH AND FUTURES

TO BURN.



trust me, i've been there

If you are throwing up blood then run don't walk to a med center. If you are ashamed now, how you gonna feel if you wake up in a hospital or not at all? Whats done is done.......learn from it and go on. Please get checked before you do some major damage. **** happens......take care of business NOW! God Bless you and keep you.

Power & Magick 2 U,

Peace & Light on us all,
