Safer Meth Smoking
How do I Smoke Meth as Safely as Possible?
HERE ARE THE SUPPLIES YOU’LL NEED:
Pipe/bubbler
A meth pipe should be a 3-4 inch long glass stem with a bowl or “bubbler” at the end.
Mouthpiece (optional)
If you’re sharing a pipe, a rubber spark plug cover or a thick rubber band for each person who is using the pipe, so your mouths don’t have to touch the same hot pipe.
And here are the steps you can take to smoke meth as safely as possible:
• Use alcohol pads and/or soap and water to wash your hands, and clean the end of the pipe where your mouth will rest.
• Pour your meth crystals into your pipe carefully, so as not to lose any of the drug. Tilt your pipe down slightly and lightly tap the stem until your meth moves into the bowl/bubbler.
• If you’re using a mouthpiece, put it on the pipe.
• Hold your pipe about two inches away from the bowl, so that you don’t burn your fingers, and light your lighter. Hold the lighter a couple of inches below the bowl, and don’t let the flame touch the bowl. Don’t hold the lighter in one place; move it around the bowl.
• As the drugs vaporize, continue applying heat. Inhale slowly, but exhale immediately. Do not hold meth smoke in your lungs -- this can burn them, and won’t get you any higher.
Is it true that meth messes up your teeth?
No, there is nothing specific or unique about methamphetamine that damages your teeth. That said, smoking any drug can have an impact on teeth. Additionally, stimulants -- including meth and cocaine -- can cause dry mouth. Finally, if you’re staying awake

tweaking for several days, you might forget to brush your teeth. Here are some tips for keeping your mouth as healthy as possible no matter what drugs you’re using:
• Stay hydrated. Your body will have an easier time producing salvia -- and healing cuts and blisters you might develop from smoking from a hot pipe -- if you’re drinking water, juice, or other nonalcoholic fluids. If you’re planning on tweaking for several days, it’s a good idea to put out water beforehand, to help you remember to drink it.
• Chew gum while you’re tweaking to help produce saliva. If you’re a teeth-grinder, this will give you something else to do with your teeth.
• Keep your lips healthy using chapstick, especially if you have blisters, burns, or chapped lips.
• Brush your teeth before smoking meth, especially if you’re planning on being up using for several days. Try to remember to brush your teeth at least once every 24 hours. Use mouthwash regularly.
