What Does Meth Smell Like?

There is an extremely strong, acrid smell that comes into my apartment. Quite frequently.

It has a chemical/vinegar smell. And it happens at night and even really late at night. Not during the day that I've noticed when I am here.

It comes and goes so I don't think it's anything inside my apartment.

But then I read that meth doesn't really have much of an odor?

Anyone experienced with it that could let me know?

TIA

Do you live in Albuquerque?

Sounds like meth to me - meth has a pungent chlorine bleach-y odor. It's entirely possible for the scent to waft into your apartment from an adjacent neighbor's.

Thanks R2. I do live in an old building. It has been going on for months now. It's not overwhelming, just kind of annoying.

The thought that it might be something like meth only occurred to me recently.

One of my neighbors (husband, wife, two little kids) was cooking meth. Another neighbor kept complaining about the stench. I didn't smell it but I had before and her description fit. Someone finally called the meth squad and reported them.

For months after that we would periodically see a hazmat crew working there. They finally took part of the house down to the frame because they couldn't get the smell out of there.

Yeah, I live in Albuquerque.

Oh, that's just me. I left the fan on at the foot of my bed. Sorry.

I think we figured that out from "Someone finally called the meth squad."

If you're breathing in meth, don't you eventually feel like you're speeding?

by Anonymousreply 7May 25, 2014 5:28 AM

LOL, R6. You're probably right. Who else has a meth squad?

I think they've finally scared people away from the blue meth that someone was making in memory of Walter. That was some bad shit.

No, it doesn't seem to have a physical effect on me R7.

It's just unpleasant. But I [italic]have[/italic] started picking at my skin.

I'm not sure. Does it smell like that "seedless watermellon" I've read so much about?

by Anonymousreply 12May 25, 2014 6:06 AM

Why don't you contact the meth squad yourself, OP?

I heard it smelled like cat pee?

Which made sense on Real Housewives of NYC when someone asked cray cray Kelly Bensimon if she had smuggled a cat into her hotel room because it smelled like cat pee.

OP, if someone in your building has a meth lab, you may want to get the fuck outta there. At least call cops anomalously

by Anonymousreply 15May 25, 2014 12:24 PM

Kelly was just smoking skunk weed. The crazy was not drug-induced.

Now, that's a REAL "Oh, [italic]dear[/italic]" if ever there were one.

The city rat poison people come late at night and the smell always wafts in through the mail slit in my front door (unless rats are secretly cohabiting with me after climbing the door to the slot but I would think I would hear them running around).

I also get a late night smell many nights, but it is more like gas.

by Anonymousreply 18May 25, 2014 5:38 PM

It's meth,OP. They're smoking it. It's not a lab.

'He who smelt it, dealt it'. Word.

"I think they've finally scared people away from the blue meth that someone was making in memory of Walter."

People buying and smoking meth actually have enough lucidity and consciousness to give a rip about if it is blue in reference to a TV character? REALLY?

Meth isn't exactly something that appeals to deep thinkers....

It smells like napalm in the morning.

R21, no idea how much of a market there was for it but there were public warnings for days saying not to smoke it.

I think you might be surprised at some of the people who use meth. They were as likely to be sitting around watching Breaking Bad as you were.

Just asked my BF who had an addiction 10+ yrs ago, he said as far as he remembers, it smells a lot like burning plastic, but he also said that with all the checmicals added/used in the making of it, the only constant in the smell is that it's a harsh chemical smell.

The cat pee smell mentioned upthread is more common on the clothes and person of someone who smokes meth. Their sweat smells of cat urine

Anyone ever use that old Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner? That's exactly what fresh, unsmoked methamphetamine smells like.

Hey, my sweat smells a bit like cat urine [if I haven't showered in days, that is] and I've never touched anything stronger than pot, and never would.

It smells like rotten eggs. I used to manage a trailer park!

God help me for just admitting that on Datalounge...

I had neighbors who were smoking something that can only be described as ammonia frying in an iron skillet. They were on the porch next door, but one whiff gave me a pounding headache.

I had to breakup with the tina. I was waking up in strange places, giving my hole to anyone. And I do mean anyone. I was one of the lucky ones, didn't get anyone and was able to quite without rehab.

I was able to quite without rehab as well, R44.

It was total, pure hell. To this day (four years clean) I still have tremors, memory problems, and plaque in the brain that makes living just fantastic.

Bumping this old thread.

A new guy at work comes in every morning with this weird rotten fruit smell on him and he's clearly fucked up on something. A co-worker said it's meth but that doesn't seem to match what was written here.
