This information is not supposed to encourage you to consume, but to lower risks, which, however, can never be ruled out when you consume drugs. You alone bear the responsibility for your life and your health.

Safer Use

• Methamphetamin is also called Crystal, Crystal-Speed, Crystal-Meth or Meth. Other names are „Yaba“ (= crazy medicine), „Tina“, „Piko“, „Hard Pep“, „Ice“, „Glass“, „Crank“ oder „Pervitin“.
• The effective period can last 5 to 30 hours, depending on the purity.
• Crystal meth hits the nerve endings directly. The fast decrease of the psychedelic effect is due to the prostration of the neurotransmitter supply.
• As the limits of one’s own body are being crossed, the danger of a physical collapse exists or, when permanently used, a deterioration of the body.
• Poly drug use, including alcohol, strains the body even more! Crystal meth seduces to uncontrolled drinking, as alcohol is not noticeable on crystal.
• Hands off the wheel, also when you are feeling you are fit and on top of things. Crystal meth is traceable in urine up to one week after consumption, in blood about 6 hours.
• No consumption during pregnancy or when suffering from cardiovascular diseases, or high blood pressure.
• During acute state of anxiety act calmly towards the affected person, bring them to a quiet place and offer them something non-alcoholic to drink. Dextrose, magnesium, or juices are always good.
• Try not to take other drugs if you can’t sleep – the poly use will only strain the body additionally.
• It can come to a faster increase in dose and to growth in a tolerance, as well as a mental addiction.
• You have the feeling you have been consuming too much? Your local drugs counsellors are happy to advise you!

Safer Sex

• Crystal meth increases the willingness to deliberately cross boundaries and through that to abstain from safer sex.
• Sex and crystal meth only work under mutual consent and trust. One possibly does things on crystal that one wouldn’t normally do. Clear beforehand which sexual practices both partners want and which not.
• Sex and crystal meth can turn very aggressive and impersonal. Only consume so much that you still can defend yourself and still recognise your partner’s defence mechanisms.
• Before getting down to business, get sufficient amounts of seutensils (gloves, condoms, lubricant) ready.
• The sensation of pain and touch of your cock is mostly reduced on crystal it can be more difficult to ejaculate.
• Does the fuck last longer, change the condom every 30 minutes.
• Pay attention to your body! If you notice any abnormalities, go to the  doctor immediately. When having changing sex partners get tested for sexually transmitted diseases every 6 months and get vaccinated against hepatitis A/B.
• HIV & crystal meth: take drugs and HIV medicine temporally offset. That may be able to lessen the interaction a bit. Always dose drugs low when taken simultaneously with medicine. The night often turns long – bring enough medicine along and keep your intake times. Talk to your doctor about the interaction between your HIV medicine and intoxicants!
• The effectiveness of protease inhibitors (Retonavir (Norvir/Kaletra)) can lead to dangerous increases of the active ingredient of crystal meth in your blood. Caution, there is a great danger of unintentional overdosing. Similarly the effective level of the HIV medicine can increase and through that increase the side effects.
