Drugs are personal choice so I'm not telling you what to do just my thoughts on ice.

I was using and loving the drug, using intravenous. One night I was with a friend and we were breaking into houses and cars. The cops rocked up so I jumped fences and hid under a car in a driveway and waited under that car for hours. It was a real quiet neighbourhood but I kept hearing people talking and walking but there was no one around , it was all just auditory hallucinations. I could see the drug had started to affect me mentally. I stopped using but still have had the auditory hallucinations very rarely.

I've got friends who use and I can see it's messed them up even though they can't see it. They believe they are being poisoned, being followed etc.

I am thinking its the lack of sleep that ruins your brain, being up 5 days straight you start having dreams while you are awake, and to me because of no break the five days seemed like one massive day.

It started off just using it once a fortnight or so but became much more regular. I realized those 'scumbag junkies' was me. Taking from people for no other reason then a selfish habit.

If you can keep your morals and your sanity and not be negatively effected then your drug use is your thing, but if not it's a problem. I've seen this first hand with legal drugs too. Parients blowing their families money on alcohol and pokies, killing themselves on cigarettes and leaving a family behind.
