One thing that is widely reported from meth users is they hallucinate and see "shadow people". From my own demonic experience, in my opinion these "shadow people" are not hallucinations. They are demons, unclean spirits, disembodies spirits.

When I was a teenager, and not on drugs or into the occult, I woke up to see the gray shadow outline of a figure standing by my bed - just like the shadow of a person, minus the person.

I instinctively pulled the cover over my head and asked God to make it go away.

That was the only time this happened, and I didn’t know until decades after that, that people all over the earth see such shadow figures.

These are the spirits of dead nephilim. Demons. Jesus dealt with them all the time.
And so should we.

I'm not so sure we should, actually.

Being aware of them, and believing they are real and they are always working against us, goes a long way toward reinforcing the sanity of a true Bible-believing Christian, but interacting with them, in any way at all, is very dangerous.

From my own research about the effects of drugs (Ice in particular) that while under the drugs influence; it will disable certain area's of the human brain that are essential for sensory fact checking. When the brain is compromised this way the person is left in a venerable state, leaving them to ad-hoc their external environment by creating subjective sensory beliefs for surviving the world around them.

Yes, the Sons of Sceva believed the same before they got absolutely routed by a demon.
Acts 19:11-20
The sons of Sceva didn't have the dread of Israel as a weapon! All demons have against those who are in Christ is fear. They are absolutely terrified of Him! Including His name.

All you have to do is step out of line, break a commandment, or knowingly sin and they have a legal right (express permission from the Almighty) to torment you - at least for a time. It is how He disciplines His own.

If you believe you are perfectly in God's graces and/or more powerful than an Archangel, knock yourself out.

If you are even slightly unsanctified, you're in for a ride.

We deal with it as it comes. He that is in me is far greater than he that is in the world.
When evil men come against me, of whom shall I be afraid?
When enemies and foes attack me, of whom shall I be afraid?
The Lord is my strength and my song...He has given me victory!
The Lord is my strength and my power...He will never leave me!
Then there are warring tongues!

Anyway, methamphetamine may be the most destructive drug I've come across. It is highly habit-forming and should not be messed with. In 1980, I was on it for 5 months, during which time I seldom slept. I spent two months in the hospital because of it.

I must rebuttal this notion of drugs being powered by demonic forces themselves. In actuality the community that support taking drugs is another community of a particular belief system. Those who transition/escape that belief environment could succumb it with another belief; or study factual processes to correct the faulty information the previous drug belief had on them.

Drugs are not powered by demons. I used to be part of the drug community for some time. There are several sub-communities. I've learned that drug use is an attempt to fill a void originally designed to be filled with the presence of the living God.
