- Actually, IV speed is not so particularly dangerous physically. One
- becomes tolerant to the pressor effects fairly quickly. You are much
- more likely to do something stupid and putting your life at risk as
- a results of the psychological effects (ie paranoid schizophrenia and
- anorexia) than because of the toxic effects of the drug.

- Keep in mind this applies to good quality drugs. I have seen some
- speed on the east coast which contained more KOH and KCl than
- methamphetamine. I don't imagine injecting concentrated alkali into
- your veins is too particularly healthy, to say nothing of the effects
- of a large bolus of KCl.
