Can Regular Use Of Meth Negate Its Potency To Get High?

i have a bad question but i dont want to quit and wont... so i please ask that you dont tell me that what i am doing is bad... now, i was just wondering, i dont seem to get high on the meth i am slamming. i use (bang one) about every 5 hours and i dont know how much i use but its a cool amount. now is it because i use so often i dont get high? or is it because i use to much? or not enough? i just wanna get high... the risks of meth really dont concern me thanks

yeah... this is a well-known phenomena called tolerance. You get used to it. Mostly, it's a semi-psychological effect but can be due at least somewhat to brain damage. Going up on dosage doesn't work that well with amphetamine as it does to narcotics. Amphetamine gives a real jolt. It's already at it's maximum. Just, you get used to what to expect and the jolt isn't as much of a big deal.
The really bad part is that if a jolt of amphetamine gets same-o-same-o there's not much else that can be a bigger thrill.
