NEVER EVEN DREAM ABOUT IT: Why you should never consume Methamphetamine ?
Methamphetamine | Infographics Show
- Methamphetamine or meth is a highly addictive and dangerous central nervous system stimulant. This crazy drug sinks its claws into you faster than you can say "bad idea". π‘π«
- Everyoneβs journey begins with curiosity and peer influence. Initially, you may be drawn to meth for its promise of heightened energy, euphoria, and confidence, but youβll quickly find yourself in a downward spiral of addiction. π€©π
- Meth's appeal lies in its ability to rapidly release high levels of dopamine in the brain, leading to intense pleasure and reward. However, regular use will rewire the brain's reward system, setting the stage for dependency. π§ π
- As meth use becomes more frequent, you will experience a significant decrease in appetite, leading to rapid weight loss and malnutrition. This not only affects your physical health but also your mental well-being. π½οΈβ
- Meth completely destroys your sleep patterns, causing insomnia and poor sleep quality. This chronic sleep deprivation has severe implications for your mental health, cognitive function, and overall well-being. π΄π
- Then thereβs the physical stuff. Hyperthermia, dehydration, rotting teeth (aka βmeth mouthβ), and nasty skin sores. Your body will cry out for help, but the addiction will keep you trapped and an obedient slave. π¦·π
- Meth doesnβt just wreck your body; it hijacks your mind too. Hallucinations, paranoia, delusions β itβs like living in a horror movie every single cursed day. Your relationships and sanity will hang on the edge of a waterfall. π₯΄π΅
- The physical strain of meth use takes a toll on your heart, causing palpitations, chest pain, and irregular heartbeat. Stimulant-induced heart damage will significantly reduce physical endurance and quality of life. ππ°
- As your addiction deepens, it affects your cognitive abilities, social life, and relationships. You become unpredictable, extremely angry, and unsatisfied, straining your personal and professional life. π€¬π
- Meth is a monster that will ruin your life faster than you can blink. Don't let curiosity or peer pressure trick you into thinking it's no big deal. Stay safe, stay smart, and stay the hell away from that vicious drug. π ββοΈπ«

What happened when the US military met a giant in Afghanistan?
In 2016, a story circulated about a U.S. Special Forces encounter with a 13-foot-tall giant in Afghanistan in 2002. The story, presented in interviews by L.A. Marzulli, claimed that the giant killed one soldier before being killed by the rest of the unit. π€β So, the story goes like this: a group of U.S. soldiers vanished during a patrol in Kandahar. Special Forces were sent to investigate, and they stumbled upon a cave with military gear but no sign of the missing soldiers. π΅οΈββοΈβ Apparently, a huge, red-headed giant - we're talking 12-15 feet tall with six fingers on each hand - emerged from the cave! One brave (or foolish) soldier charged at the giant and got impaled by its spear. π΅πͺ Marzulli, a self-titled expert on cryptids and the supernatural, connected the giant's appearance to the Biblical interpretation of the Nephilim. He presented a chunk of bronze, claiming it aligned with the description of the giant's spear. π§ββοΈπ Of course, the Department of Defense was like, "Giant? What giant? We don't know anything about that." This led to conspiracy theories about a government cover-up. π΅οΈββοΈπ€« Snopes did some digging and found out that the only U.S. Army death in Kandahar in 2002 that matched the name "Dan" was Sergeant First Class Daniel A. Romero. Plot twist: he died in an accidental explosion, not fighting a giant. π£π The story's premise reads like fiction, with inconsistencies and a lack of resolution regarding the initial disappearance of the patrol squad. The sources all lead back to Marzulli's now-deleted YouTube video, and the story itself doesn't even have a proper ending. π€·ββοΈπΉ It is likely that the story was fabricated by Marzulli to gain popularity among conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, the U.S. military was busy fighting the actual War in Afghanistan in 2002. π₯π¦π« The giant of Kandahar story might have started as a way for soldiers to cope with the stress and uncertainty of war or as a prank played by senior members on new recruits. π π€ While such stories can provide insight into the emotional and psychological impact of war on soldiers, the sacrifices made by those involved in conflicts should be acknowledged and respected. It is important to recognize that many soldiers may suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result of their experiences. π€β
