It took awhile, but meth has made it’s way into my neck of the woods. Not as bad as some other areas, but it will be. I know if I catch anyone I care about touching it I’m going to kick the shit out of them.
Those mugshots reminded me of ‘The Faces of Meth’.
Raise your kids right and that kind of stuff shouldnt even tempt them. People do drugs cause they are looking for soemthing, if they have nothing to find they wont fall into that growd…
there’s a bunch of those before/after meth pics floating around.
it’s always funny cause there ends up being like one guy who looks better.
but yeah, worst drug out there. i used to work with this meth head dude… his brain was just gone. he’d laugh at whatever anyone said… horrible breath… couldn’t focus on anything. :rolleyes:
Yes, it is a horrific drug & approx. 200+ times more addictive than crack etc. Due to the chemical nexus (i.e. reward system by increasing levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain ) it creates.
“Meth Mouth” is just one of the contraindications / collateral damage etc. Caused by it.
Meth isn’t big in my neck of the woods but that is only because heroin is the king of the hill. The things people are willing to do to themselves to feel good for a couple of hours.:rolleyes:
haha… aint that the truth. i had good buddies who became tweakers and they would invite me over to make collages or beaded necklaces… needless to say we havent spoken in years.
I had to grow up with shit in L.A., I can remember walking to skill and being able to smell them cooking a few houses down from me. Horrible drug, there was a guy I knew real cool cat smart, lots of girls, money, going places. Then he got “grabbed” by the meth and scrambled his brain. Would wander the streets asking for a cig or a fix.
“Yeah umm, I will have a bomblet, with fried spunions, an order of tweak fries, and a wig shake to go please”.
I had my first run-in with a tweaker a few months back… I keep hearing that my neck of the woods is ground-zero for Meth in the mid-atlantic. How true that rings is beyond my scope of knowledge, but considering the number of tweakers i’ve seen, and the number of “spontaneous house fires” I know the Fire Dept. and EMTs respond to, I’ve begun to wonder.
I recently received word that an acquaintance had lost his adult daughter last month. The details were pretty much hush-hush so I looked for an obituary notice. I found one on the internet with a link to a photo which looked pretty much like the photo above. She looked 50+ with a heavily drawn mouth (teeth missing) and just a general beaten down look. She was only 36. What a waste.
