Question about meth users.

Okay so I clicked on the kidney post below and it led me to a meth slide show.

My dumb arse question: why do many of the "after" pictures have so many scabs/burns?

I realize I am pointing out how dumb I am..

Re: Question about meth users.

  • A lot of meth users make their own in very makeshift "labs" (can be made out of bottles, type thing).  It's very dangerous and likely to explode in their faces.

  • Apparently another side effect is terrible hair.

  • Meth crystallizes under the skin which starts it, but also, users often hallucinate that they have bugs crawling on them etc, and they scratch at it, causing it to worsen.

  • Forgot to add that this is referred to as "meth bugs"

    I watched one of those "Interventions" one time and Meth heads can and often DO pick at their faces/skin because they see these flaws and imperfections and cannot stop picking. Its just another lovely side effect of the drug. Ick!

  • My question is why the hell anyone would ever want to try meth.

    Because it's a drug. And some people think they can be responsible with drugs.

    Other drugs, I can see. But all you have to do is look at those pictures to realize maybe this is one to stay away from.

  • Meth is disaterous to the body.  Skin, hair, and dentists see what is called "meth mouth" - just plain horrible --- and then to think of the interior damage.

    I do not understand drug use of any kind  -- all drugs have risks.  Prescriptions drugs are not harmless either - it is a benefit/risk balance that is always the consideration.

    I know this isn't funny, but really, it's funny.

    look at how skinny that second girl got after 8 months with very little face picking. A good wash and trim on her hair and you would ask her what diet she just came off.

    you just need someone to hold your hand and remind you to wash you hair and brush your teeth and you can be meth skinny in 8 months too. you just have to be resigned to have to suck some c ock to get it though. only con i see.

    That's the spirit!

    Meth is a huge problem where I am from.  Many users move to meth after abusing other drugs because it is cheap.

  • Cheap, easy to make and a long lasting high.

    People tend to not start with meth, but with those  drugs that people tend to approve of.

  • Um....whoah.
