Accidentally absorbed a couple milligrams of methamphetamine,
A threshold dose: felt euphoria, energy and a proportional crash.

I spent this time cycling around the city
and despite my very low dose
its action was apparent.

The experience reflected interestingly on that of MDMA,
They share in a certain 'magic', not miraculous of course
but extraordinary in their psychoactive effect.
It is significant and contentious insofar as
they are powerful agents, but
MA's mechanisms of action reveal it to be
dangerous in a way which seems inherent:
It is neurotoxic at moderate to high recreational doses.
In the recreational user it destroys the fabric of their human being.
In this regard it is monstrous.

It is cruel, apotheogenic yet
we are tasked with going beyond good and evil.
Though mired in dark magic
its knowledge is of considerable value
and it is even prescribed in the US
for ADD and obesity under the brand-name Desoxyn.
These ethics are tricky devils, lo and behold,

It is a weapon of a substance
