Quincy smoke shop that was tired of crackheads now also tired of meth heads

methamphetamine is back big time. Dealers are mixing it with heroin/fentanyl and users aren’t aware of it.

Yes meth has made its way to Boston as well as Quincy. Im a recovering addict and meth was one of my drugs of choise...more then heroin. It was easily found than any other drug out there. The meth back in 2017 put me into a 2 week coma and i had a 30% chance of living. Doctors didnt know what was wrong with me. My lungs has collapsed, i had septic pneumonia and merca in both of my lungs. I don't recall going into the hospital but my body fought hard. Like i said doctors said i had a 30% chance of survival and told my mother my chances of living were very slim. But by the grace of god after 2 weeks of being in the coma i finally woke not remembering anything or how i had gotten there. I spent 2 months in the ICU and then on to a rehabilitation to have antibiotics given to me through a pic line for a month. It was no joke. Id like to say i stayed sober after that but the drug meth is so powerful my life wasnt worth it. The drug and high was much more important. In April of 2018 I was pushed by family to go into treatment a 30 day live in facility. I chose to go to avoid my family going to court to have me committed. On April 10, 2018 I checked into that program not cause i wanted to just to get my family off my back. They were scared for me. I had lost 45 lbs from the coma and continued using after the hospital stay. The program i went to i didnt want to stay the mental effect on my head was something i couldnt even describe today. I tried leaving treatment many times. But the program i was lucky enough to get into wouldn't let me leave so easily. One day it clicked. I can't say what it was. My higher power or just my peers influence to stay. Im happy to tell you that I have been free of meth since April 10, 2018. I haven't had the desire to pick up or use. Even on my worst day. Something clicked in my head. I had a purpose on this earth. I was given a second chance at life. I have a purpose, im meant to do good things on this earth. Im not sure what it is yet. But i stay sober a day at a time. The obsession to use meth has freed from me. By the grace of god i will have a year sober from meth on April 10 of this year. A day at a time. I wouldnt wish what i went through on anybody. I used to think why did i have to wake up from the coma. I hated life. But today i embrace my sobriety. Im now a mother, daughter and a sister. My life is a lot happier than any day using. Even the not so perfect days. I have been tested many times seeing people i know and they are all addicted to the meth. It used to be heroin was the problem...it was for me for Years. But the problem now is the meth. Its taken over the east coast. And nobody knows how bad it really is.

Seems pretty unconscionable

If you have never dealt with a crack head (or meth head) it's pretty appropriate. You have to be incredibly firm/blunt/profane with them...and even that usually will not stop them!

According to their fb page they have everything else. If they going to advertise like they do about having vapes& bongs then why are they all p'd off. Drugs are drugs period..everyone starts off with Marijuana& some go to crack& meth. It's all no good, all drugs, all addictive!

Put all the metro Boston homeless, druggies, alchies in Quincy. Out of sight, out of mind for the world class city it borders. I say, once again, open a state of the art facility in, say, Cambridge, Somerville, hell Brookline (yes, there's room if you try hard enough). Better still, Newton; the D line and commuter rail is a big plus. Perhaps Newton's new oppressed and under-priviledged citizens could be given free T passes? Heck, VFW Parkway, the old school complex, perfect spot! They can be whisked back and forth on the parkway or use the Charles River bus or commuter rail!
