Show this to your children and grandchildren. Tell them this is why you stay away from meth and let you know if anybody ever offers it to them so you can go and kick the sh*t out of that person.

Meth is a horrible drug.

Many of those losers post meth look like someone beat the smile out of 'em before they were photo'd. Good.

I know I might be a little naive on this subject...but why would someone smoke this stuff?

I know that every generation has members who are drug addicts and no part of the world is immune. For every pill-popping senior in America there is a aborigine teenager licking toads.

But Meth?

Isn't the stuff made from drain cleaner, or paint thinner or phosphorous from match heads?

Always in search of a better "escape" from whatever their problem may be.  They decide just one time to try it because "their life just can't get any worst" or because they want to see what kind of high they can get.  From there, they are pretty much screwed.

Those sores and marks and things that look like beating ARE the visible symptom of that drug.  It does that to a person.

Pretty dam sorry, ain't it?

The sores are mostly inflicted by the user. Skin picking as they are usually twitching with not much else to do. My ex tore her hands up by doing that, she had to wear a glove to hide it almost all of the time. You also hear the stories of a user seeing bugs or some other sort on the skin. Most of the time that is after several day's of no sleep and the mind starting to wander. I have seen the devastation first hand and there really is no other drug that compares when it comes to destroying everything in a persons life.
