The Tweaker's Lexicon

A growing compendium of terms, concepts and coinages from the harm reduction coalface — contributions welcome.


Horizontalism (n.)
The refined art of lying down instead of sleeping whilst stimulated. Not laziness — a discipline. The horizontal practitioner remains fully conscious, productive and philosophical whilst appearing to the untrained eye to simply be in bed.


Comehome (n.)
The return to baseline after use. Not a comedown — a homecoming. The destination is familiar, comfortable and always waiting. Travel time varies.


Soberia (n.)
The place you reside when not using. Good infrastructure, excellent food, reliable sleep. The food tastes better here.


State of Methlessness (n.)
Soberia's official jurisdiction. Days have names here.


Crystal Heights (n.)
Where you go when you are using. Express service available, approximately 20 minutes to arrive. Return journey scenic and unhurried — allow at least a day.


Bank of Wellbeing (n.)
The account into which you make deposits via food, water, rest and supplements. Meth makes withdrawals. The bank remains solvent with responsible management. Small consistent deposits recommended.


Marzipam (n.)
A novel, slightly crunchy benzodiazepine confection developed as a harm reduction bridge between drug dependency and an eating disorder. Formulation: crushed Temazepam (20mg), ground almonds, sucrose and vanilla. Dose titrated upward using the dextro isomer of sucrose until the patient reaches their personal "sweet spot." An acquired taste. Literally.


Half a fuck (n.)
Partial agonism. The receptor is occupied, the signal is sent, but full activation remains just out of reach — and your brain spends the rest of the day chasing the other half. See: aripiprazole, compulsive gambling, the entire class action history of Abilify.
