My past addiction to metamphetamine
Metamphetamine (Tik/Crystal meth.)
My past addiction.
A short story by Luciano Fisher.
A drug that has no discrimunation on
race,age,gender,rich or poor.
Anyone can become a victim of its addiction &
its power lies in the grip it has on the youth.
These young addicts are like soldiers for it,
Knowing or unknowingly promoting & gaining
more & more to grow dependant on it. Resulting
in one hell of a drug problem to deal with.To
make it more clear & I speak from personal
experiance. Out of a group of ten young
individuals in the western cape area ive met so
far. Id say 89percent of them are
users,addicts,dealers or have some experiance of
metamphetamine (Tik.).
About ten percent of parenting adults. This
makes it more popular than any of the drugs ive
heard of in my life. Meaning quick sales &
getting rich even faster. Sending off a message
to the youth saying a tik dealer is the thing to
be.Ultimately leading to a larger work force
behind it.Spreading it further & faster than any
other drug.This illuminates the law's ability to
keep controle over it.
Even some of our police members fell pray to it
to help them cope with late shifts.
Metamphetamine (Tik.) looks like tiny ice
crystals very simular to sugar or salt.
Its colour?I've seen yellow,brown,blue and heard
of even red. But mostly its transparant.
The white is known as the strongest & most
popular, It is often described as white ice.
Metamphetamine (Tik.) is baught in from a short
filled up straw wich price at twenty rand.
To a full gram ranging from 250-300
rand.Depending on how much you want or need
to satisfy your craving.These crystals are then
put into a prepared light bulb or "lollie"(Tik
Tool.).
It is then heated with a flame & as it forms a
liquid it gives off a white smoke.
The "lollie"or bulb is then routated from side to
side to increase the amount of smoke it gives
off as you inhaile. After filling your lungs with
this smoke, the flame is then removed & the
liquid returns to its crystal form.This prosses is
then repeated untill its completely
evapurated.The prepared bulb or "lollie" is mostly
used to know as burning you a hit or "n skoot
slat."But ive seen those who sniff or even eat it
to make the effects more quick.
After you took a few hits & it passes trough your
vains.
You begin to feel energized, if you were drunk
you'd become sober, you feel more open & have
the constant need to talk & keep busy, your
game for anything.
After a while your mouth begins to dry out & you
become a bit paranoid.
Seeing quick images of things that are'nt there &
suspicion of innocent people of cruel intensions.
Or moments I like to call blanks.
No taughts, no movement, almoust like a
computer freeze, a time out.
This is known as a "tokkie vang."

Metamphetamine (Tik.).
Some use it as a wake up, Some to make
them more productive at work, A few for
increased
sexual indurance, Others to feed an addiction,
But mostly because everyone is doing it.
So its also used as a way to fit in.Into a
sociaty your better off being without.
Metamphetamine (Tik.)
Here's is some of my experiance.The whole
truth.
"We sometimes smoked ourselfs so high that
the only way to come down
was to smoke canabis/Thc (Dagga.).Thats
why they call Tik an upper and
Dagga a downer."Numbers gangs rule the
drug world."
So you will get ivolved or be a part of illegal
activaties.
The first time i saw it i said that i would
never touch that stuff.
But it became a different story when we
moved to Cape Town and everyone
i knew was doing it.I mean
friends,family,everyone.I avoided it at first.
But when me and my first love broke up i lost
all my self esteem.
There's nothing more influanceable than a
fragile heart.So i gave in and said yes.
He took out a lollie and held the lighter flame
on it untill it filled with smoke.
He told me to pull on the other side and as i
blew out that cloud of smoke.
I was never to be the same again.
So it began....My past addiction to
Metamphetamine (Tik.).
At first it was just experementing.Doing it
every now and then.Plain fooling around.
But then it got serious.We started doing it
everyday.Sometimes even for days without
sleep.
I remember sometimes feeling like i didnt
want to do it anymore.
But then i would do nothing it would remain
just a feeling.
The more people i met the deeper i got
involved with Metamphetamine (Tik.).
Because the only people i met was either
Dealers or users.
It was the wrong people but they made me
feel like i belong.
Like i really ment something to them.So i saw
them as my friends.
I was new to this place so i looked to them to
show me where its fun to hang out.You know
places to go.
But the only places they took me was places
to go smoke.
With each place they took me the deeper i got
involved.
I came in contact with the numbers and saw
their involvement in the dealing game.
Then i finally realised they where all make
believe friends.Using me only for my car and
money.
With all that in mind and having sold all my
possesions for the entertainment of friends.
Coz a real friend was all i wanted.Depressed
& lonely I went solo.I wanted to smoke myself
to death.
Till eventually my parents saw and took me to
get help.You never know how deep you are
untill you see what you've become.A drug is
addictive but your company makes you an
addict.
So know your real friends.Dont fall for make
believe.
I have had a couple of relapses since then but
it only taught me more self controle.
Now im steddy on the road of putting it behind
me....
I have dealed, lend out my car, made drug
drops & pic ups, sold almoust all of my
possesions
& bared witness to girls selling their body's
for it.
All in the name of one more pipe.
I don't regret the experiance, but i am not
proud.
So i'll end this by saying:Metamphetamine
(Tik.) its something your better off without
"A while after writing this I relapsed into full
addiction which led me to selling all my
things, Doing drug runs and even fishing the
streets for scrap metal all in the name of one
more hit. It even got me kicked out the house
I was completely self destructive with no
intent of quitting until my family did an
intervention and inrolled me into the 12 step
program. I completed the program and remain
clean with no intent of ever going back and I
now lead a happy sober life...."
