“It’s been quite the experience,” reads the pinned post on r/meth. Below this headline is a photo of a glass pipe that’s cracked in a million places, and below that, an announcement. The head moderator is leaving after four years of managing what he calls “the world’s most nocturnal and psychotic subreddit.” He reminiscences:

I can still remember when the subreddit was barely 20,000 members and I was bright eyed, well rested and still had quite a lot of aspirations for a better tomorrow. I joined with the intention of harm reduction as we had very little information, and in my eyes if there’s a way for people to not fuck themselves up by using safely, why not right?

R/meth has 144,000 followers now, far more than r/StopSpeeding, a subreddit with 28,000 members dedicated to helping people get off meth. In the pinned post, the mod thanks his fellow tweakers for the laughs, late nights, and camaraderie — and tells them they’re in good hands with the new moderator. A guy in the comments mistakes the pipe for the Death Star, and says it’s time to sleep now.
