Back when I would have extended tweekend runs that would go from Friday to Tuesday or sometimes longer. I would use either lisdextroamphetamine or meth, and my  kidneys would hurt afterwards.
Could have been from zero food and dehydration but I've always done very well on staying hydrated when using stims.

Also, I have 2 healthy kidneys, and most likely would do fine with just one. But I know, the second I take up an offer to sell a kidney for $20,000 that, just to fuck with me, the remaining one would fail.

I found some more on this at narconon.org:

The increased heart rate and constriction of blood vessels common with stimulant abuse can also cut off the flow of blood to the kidneys, again, resulting in failure.

Hyperthermia, or increased body temperature, is a common result of stimulant abuse. Hyperthermia can reach dangerous—even fatal—levels. If a person also becomes dehydrated, the kidneys will be highly stressed, may break down completely and death can result.


... and I found this (elsewhere) too:

Meth can also damage the kidneys. The body uses the kidneys to filter waste products from the body. When the meth is filtered through the kidneys, it causes blood vessels in the kidneys to constrict. This leads to a decrease in urine production and allows toxins to be reabsorbed into the body.

im not saying theres any reason to doubt the validity of that information, but I'd avoid using narconon as a source of any information. They are the rehab run by scientologists that detox you by overdosing you on niacin and putting you in a sauna for a week, then have you yell at ashtrays. i wouldn't trust anything that comes from them.

Speaking of reabsorbed toxins, when I don't shit for a week does my body absorb toxins from the poo that just sits in my colon until it's a rock hard mass the size of a 16 oz can of Dr. Pepper?
Jeezus @smalls my ass hurts just reading that. 😂

Heh, speaking of narconon, i was in a regular inpatient rehab a few years ago and one of my roommates there told me about his experience at one of those rehabs. He said he had down to Georgia from Pennsylvania and went to one.  The first counselor he was talking to asked if he needed a cigarette, so dude lights one up, and takes a couple drags. The counselor a asked to hold it, and made him watch it burn down to the filter, while telling him that he doesn't need it. It's all in his head.

Then i was told they made him take off his shirt and pants and started rubbing leaves all over him to 'cure' him. Said when they started doing that he said fuck this, and had to demand his property back so he could leave. He tried calling his parents to send money for a plane ticket, but they were hip, used to get high themselves and thought he was just trying to run back home to get high.  Ended up spending a few days homeless till they finally bought him a ticket.

Id freak out if i went to rehab, and they didn't do any comfort meds or anything. Tried telling him it's all in his head, which opiate addiction is definitely a physical addiction.  The way he said it in person  with the leaves was fuckin hilarious though
