Title: Just started watching Breaking Bad
Post by: thesatelliteoflove on January 20, 2012, 11:19 pm
Holy shit, it's so fucking good. But I'm only a few episodes in.

Those of you who have meth as your DOC, how accurate is it?

I wouldn't nec say Meth is my DOC. Only because I don't have just 1 DOC..But, I do have plenty experience with it. Only using and obtaining for friends, never been a "dealer" or "cook". But, after watching aprox 12 episodes, I cam e to the conclusion that it's pretty right on...as far as that end of the game goes. (The "Cook" end, that is).  Now, I am always very careful to stay FAR away from the dope game... Only get small amounts, from 1 source..use at home. I have known alot of people who have gotten themselves deep into the game, known plenty of "cooks". It's NOT a pretty world, and it can be fucking intense; Breaking Bad is pretty right on. The only thing that REALLY stuck out at me was this: Whilst cooking meth, just being in the same room, respirator or not, U get LOADED. Goes into ur skin... So- cooking in your underwear isn't something you would do if you didn't use/ were very worried abt the drug getting into your system. AND you wouldn't just go home and touch your pregnant wife... Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Have you ever seen The Wire? I enjoy Breaking Bad, but IMHO, the former is a far more accurate portrayal of drug organizations and drug abuse, not to mention a better show.

The Wire is just as good, if you torrrent episodes it should be quick as it has a lot of seeders (big cult following)

The Wire and Breaking Bad are both amazing series', but they're trying to depict different things.  I don't fuck with meth, so I can't speak on the authenticity of the show, but BB is more about showing how a good guy can abandon his sense of morality on the road to becoming a drug kingpin.  The Wire is more about depicting the realities of the west Baltimore drug game.  In that sense, you're right that the Wire is probably more accurate, but that's just because its focus is quite different.

Both The Wire and B.B. are great.

I am in the 5th season of the wire now and have seen all the B.B's so far.

I think The Wire could have possibly been better than B.B. but it branched off in a weird direction it seems.  I just started watching the series a few months ago and am almost done.  I won't go into specifics b/c other people might wanna watch so..

I do think B.B. is better OVERALL because of this.  I REALLY enjoyed the first season of The Wire.

I'm not surprised there are a lot of fellow Breaking Bad fans here  ;D  The show is awesome, I'd say the best drama series ever made.  Bryan Cranston was born to play the part of Heisenberg, talk about great casting.  People here have also mentioned The Wire, which is a great show but I didn't like it quite as much as Breaking Bad, saw all seasons of it too.  Don't get me wrong it's an amazing show but I didn't like it as much as Breaking Bad, there were some episodes that weren't that interesting.  I highly recommend you guys all check out Justified, the series started off a little slow season 1, but has been building up to be absolutely fantastic and the 3rd season on right now I'd say is by FAR the best thing on TV at the moment.  So go grab some of your favorite weed or whatever your drug of choice is and plonk your butt on a couch and do a Justified marathon, you won't regret it especially once you reach what the series has built up to with the latest episodes.

I also like Boardwalk Empire, but the 2nd season was kind of meh... so If I were to list these shows in order of preference it would be like this :

1.  Breaking Bad (keeps getting better and better)
2.  Justified (keeps getting better and better)
3.  The Wire
4.  Boardwalk Empire

You know I'm surprised none of the meth vendors on Silk Road sell meth shards with blue dye in it, and call it 'Blue Sky' for the novelty of it, heh. Or they could take Jesse's idea and add chili powder. lol.

That has surprised me too.  I'm not a meth user but I would buy blue meth just for the sake of having it to look at in my stash box.  I bet a lot of people have tried meth because of Breaking Bad, lol... it's sometimes made me want to do it again.  I've only tried it twice (long before Breaking Bad) and both were pretty fun experiences but I had horrible side effects afterwards on both occasions felt like shit for a couple of days and had a lot of trouble sleeping, body aches and a migraine.

It would be so cool to have a big chunk of Breaking Bad Heisenberg style blue glass meth though.  Not gonna lie I'd probably smoke it once or twice, but when it comes to hardcore drugs I'm only interested in experimentation, not regular or even semi-regular use.  I like to try hard drugs just to see if the government propaganda is true about them, so far in my experiences every hard drug I've tried has been a lot less "powerful" than what I expected.  I wouldn't want to try H though, it's not my kind of thing, I'm more of a psychedelic explorer, not a painkiller/heroin sorta guy.  Mostly just smoke weed, take benzos and drink tbh, mdma a few times a year usually too.

The Wire is the shit- I used to visit my ex in Baltimore all the time and we'd go through those neighborhoods, it was eirreee i was expecting Omar Little to pop out any moment- but honestly everybody was pretty cool there, nobody fucked with you too much, got offered pretty much anything I wanted and found some funny ass thrift stores, over all some good times in the hood- even with the blue lights watching
