I wonder where "very good" lies on the rating "scale". Might be second shit. I'll bet it wasn't Chinese tea, either. Just saying...

What do people generally do here with Meth?
Smoke it? Snort it?
Not really a hard drug aficionado, but Meth does seem to be the drug of choice in this country and I'm curious as to why?
Either way...I wouldn't trust it...especially as advertised!

They smoke it in a sort of bong made from a 500ml water bottle and a few straws, or one of those glass pipes with a bubble on the end. Some just smoke it off apiece of foil.
