A man describes the first methamphetamine high as unforgettable and explains why users chase it endlessly. He says the drug creates a cycle where you can never reach that initial rush again, but addiction's logic frames repeated use as a way to stay safe.
And I could gauge that with a lot of the conversations, especially in CMAEs, that is something that a lot of people fortunately have steered away from. Because once you experience, especially that rush, it is something you can never forget and you will always chase it. And I experienced it that day and I always wanted to experience it again. But you can never get to that high again. And meth wants you to continue to use it. So it will continue to let you chase that high, chase that cycle, chase the experiences, try and relive a thrilling encounter. And at the core, it is just trying to keep you safe.
