First, a little about meth. Methamphetamine (also known as metamfetamine (INN), methylamphetamine, N-methylamphetamine, and desoxyephedrine) is a psychostimulant* and sympathomimetic** drug. Meth causes extreme alertness, heightened awareness, increased heart rate, auditory/visual hallucinations, and a host of other effects and side effects. The drug uses your brain's natural reward system (the same one that makes an orgasm pleasurable, etc) to cause the brain into producing excessive amounts of adrenaline, serotonin and dopamine (among others). In fact, some studies suggest that methamphetamine can cause the brain to produce up to 40 times more of these "reward" chemicals as an orgasm.

Basically, it makes you feel awesome! (. . .to a point. . .)

MYTH: Meth contains. . .(bathroom cleaner, rubbing alcohol, freeon, etc)

FACT: Meth is made from some very nasty chemicals but, the only thing left when you're through cooking it is Meth. There is no ammonia, camp fuel, nothing - just meth. Okay, sometimes it'll still have a little camp fuel. Hey, tweakers cook this stuff, it ain't gonna be perfect.

Injecting Meth allows a large (relatively pure) dose of the drug to reach your brain in seconds. One can taste meth in the back of the throat in approximately 2-4 seconds. Many users will cough at this point and the cough is considered a sign of quality dope. Conversely, the lack of a cough after a shot means a) weak/cut dope, or b) the hit was too small. Though, it should be noted, this is NOT always the case! Some of the best dope I've ever shot didn't even come close to making me cough and, some of the worst dope I've ever shot almost made me hack up a lung!

Admittedly, I'm an IV drug user (see the screen name?). I inject meth or opiates every day with very, VERY few exceptions. When done properly, IV'ing almost any drug is the absolute cleanest and most effective means of ingestion with 99% bioavailability in most cases (meth included.) That said, I do not recommend anyone pick up a needle. Why? Because being an addict or, even a recreational user isn't the same as being a junkie. Being a junkie is a lifestyle choice. You live to get high and, you're fully aware that it will kill you eventually. Do all the drugs you want, but take my word for it, no one needs to get that high.

A some what more basic and simpler answer is -

you get a taste of the meth amphetamine in the back of the throat how strong this taste is depends on quantity, quality, strengths of mixture, tolerance ect but generally the stronger the shot you have the stronger the taste will be. You will get an instantaneous rush through your head your heart rate will increase and you generally breathe fairly heavily. As was mentioned above it makes you feel awesome, you will be sitting there going OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING. Then you will be extremely alert and awake, full of energy and stronger than you normally would be. You will overly chatty, unable to sit still and your decisions will be impulsive and irrational. You think you are the king of the world and that everybody thinks the same, basically you feel invincible.

Of course this is the effect of a recreational using injecting good quality gear on the other hand i use every day and when I have it I simply feel like I have just gotten out of bed after a good nights sleep, not unless I use a ridiculous quantity can I get a similar effect as described above. I can sit down and watch a movie with my house mates and they would have no idea of what i had just done.
