I truly am not the sharpest tool in the shed. But I don't understand what others don't understand about meth/heroin/drugs etc. WTF rock did you grow up under? And how is this a better choice?
And have you seen their teeth?

It's easy money... until you get caught.
If you could make a grand a day working a 10 hour work week with no boss, you wouldn't be tempted? If it didn't come with half a lifetime of being a prison bitch if caught I'd seriously consider it.

I saw the pics and first thought was while he a bad skin condition he looks younger than her. I was a bit surprised to see she was supposed to be 35 yrs old versus a hard living 50 or 60. What's up with the black eye makeup? Does she just take a black eye pencil and outline her eyes until she looks like a zombie from a silent film? Meth can't explain bad makeup, can it?

I happen to be a fan of her style. Wearing just the cut-off neck part of a pink turtleneck top? Genius. I smell a sizzling new trend.

On all levels.
No amount of money would make me do that.
And I come from outhouse poor.
WThell ever happened to self respect?

The turtle neck collar choker/scarf thing is kind of genius actually. It's a scarf that you don't have to tie, or wrap, or whatever. Scarves look goofy on dudes. Women can like accessorize with them, but guys look fruity with scarf ends flapping around even though our necks get cold in December and January too.

I brew beer. If I start a small scale microbrewery and sell beer to the local grocery/liquor stores, I'm a fine upstanding business man. If I cook meth and sell that in bulk to the local drug dealers, I'm the scum of the earth. What's the difference? Honestly? Either way you're manufacturing something that grown adults use to escape their problems. Either way your product is bad for your customers health. Either way some of your customers are going to do horrible things to their spouses and kids while under the influence of your product. If meth cooks are the scum of the earth, why aren't we locking up the Coors family, Jim Koch, tobacco farmers, everyone who slings fast food, etc?
Honestly I don't see a lot of difference between the mind altering substances we've outlawed and the mind altering substances we haven't. I also don't see much difference between the couple in the OP and the executives at Coors and Bud.

Yikes! Lovely couple! He's got enough sores on his face to indicate he "tests" his product on a regular basis - and she looks twice her 35 years.
I don't care what happens to them - I only hope the children who were in the home have been placed in a safe environment away from that nasty shit environment.
It's people like this couple who manufacture to make quick $$ and prey on the vulnerable user/addict or get someone hooked, that I don't give a rat's rear what happens to them. It's just sad there were children living in this domestic "lab".

The apartment building next to the one in which I live burned to a crisp. The woman was making meth on the stove. Meth is so unstable that it can flash without warning. I see meth addicts a lot. Eventually, they gouge their skin by scratching holes in it. The nervous system has been so badly affected that they can't feel relief, and stop scratching.

Oh my goodness. I don't see meth addicts often here. At least I don't think I do. If they all look that scary and mean then I know I don't.

I first came across the Project "Faces of Meth" while I was visiting M-I-L in Oregon. OR has a HUGE meth problem. The guy who started it was in law enforcement and the project was meant to act as a kind of "Scared Straight" Project.
I don't know how one could measure that it works. But the change is truly horrifying.

Not all addicts look like that. I know one that has begun to scratch herself but still has her teeth. She is a beautiful young woman. It is very sad. She has lost her children, and her family put her out of their home. They had to do it for their own survival.

Thank you. The neighborhood, and building were good places. The people were producing it in their kitchen, and selling it on the sly. We reported it many times to management who did nothing. They paid their rent every month, and she didn't care.

I may be misremembering but I think the officer doing the drug training for the foster care program participants told us that the loss of teeth depends partly on how they ingest the meth. Guess there are several ways to take it and the ones that rub it on their gums lose their teeth the fastest. Not pretty.

One of those drug specials on TV said it was the pipe smokers that lost their teeth the fastest. If you're going to take it you want to snort it, apparently.

the little bit I know about meth is so horrific that it makes me question why anyone would ever do it.
Then I think about how awful the lives of those who choose to do so anyway must be.
I live in a community where 'affluenza" is a real problem
I adamantly and graphically show my kids why they shouldn't do this.
Time will tell whether I've been successful or not.

Meth addicts often become them when alcohol no longer "numbs" them. It's a step up the "addiction ladder".
