Crystal meth works like an anesthetic, numbing emotional trauma and physical pain. When the high wears off, injuries you didn't know you had suddenly hurt again. Dallas Bragg explores what other damage might be hiding beneath the surface while you're using.
Did you know that crystal meth is an anesthetic? Not only does it numb your emotions and your feelings and your trauma, it also numbs your physical body. Ever wonder why on a comedown you're suddenly sick? Well, you weren't suddenly sick. You were sick all along. Crystal meth numbed it. Once on a comedown, I realized I had pulled a muscle in my leg. I couldn't figure out, how did I just do that? I didn't just do it. I did it while I was high. If crystal meth is hiding your physical pain, what else is it numbing inside you? What else is it damaging physically that you can't see? Feel, hear, taste, or touch.
