    What level of addiction does one need to be at to think this is now or would ever be a good idea?

    I’m genuinely curious.

      Considering that she has to do this in the bathroom instead of somewhere more comfortable, I am going to assume that they usually hide this behavior and someone put a photo on FB to out them.

      As far as meth addicts go, using the bathroom is actually considered polite, as it probably has a vent fan and is better than stinking up your whole apartment with fumes, and it keeps the meth smoke to a minimum for non meth users in the same apartment.

      Very similar to marijuana etiquette in many ways.

      Obviously if youre not a meth user chances are you will still get contact high if you enter the bathroom less than 30 minutes after the person leaves the bathroom with the fan on, or at least be able to smell it pretty strongly.

      And if you do this often, the smell will never come out of the paint, even if you paint over it. You gotta strip it all and redo it.

      Anyway, generally speaking, how addicted to meth do you have to be for this to make sense?

      Pff this is entry level, literally what you’d do for your first time in many cases.

      Now… posting this picture to facebook? How much of an addict do you have to be to do that?

      Basically either exceptionally stupid (exceptionally stupid for a meth user) + novice level, or youve basically gone through a few cycles of using then abstaining then using, at that point, you basically are so normalized to smoking in the bathroom it doesnt even occur to you that posting this to facebook is really odd, /or/ you are intentionally posting this to facebook to basically complain that someone in your life was so shitty to you that well now im back on meth, thanks asshole.

      Source: While I have never been addicted to meth, and was only ever forced to take a hit once (I basically nearly coughed up my lungs and died), I was homeless for around a year and had no other choice than to attempt to befriend other street people, and got a first hand look into how fucking insane meth and fentanyl users are.

      I hope for this lady’s sake its actually meth, and not laced with fentanyl.
