Meth-odology

Meth, like Adderal, Ritalin, and Dexedrine, can be a method for getting things done, for a wide range of people from soccer moms to medschool students, from orgy organizers to striving wall streeters. A student told me she wrote a term paper in long stretches -- up to 30 hours -- while smoking and snorting meth. Having burned her nose out from the snorting, she resorting to smoking. She filled the crack beneath her cubicle door and lit up her newly purchased pipe and let the crystals crackle and twist into fumes that she gently sucked into her lungs, careful not to pull in any unmelted crystals at the same time. 2 or 3 drags and a delayed deep release, and she was ready to work. She said the route to thought was narrow and channel-like; she slalomed down it as far as her unwavering concentration allowed her, finishing her work in record time.
