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. **Runs to closet with scissors in hand.** I think the turtleneck thing happened the last time their meth lab exploded. That was the only thing she could salvage. As she had no money for new clothes, she had to improvise .

Their faces just age so damn fast, all the color just leaves them. It's a horror show.

I think she's seriously scarred on her neck and that's why she wears that silly collar thing.

How can you consider the pain & consequences of someone's drug addiction a "fun game"? That's just wrong.

My SIL is a meth head (or was, she did a year in prison for felony sale and I don't know if she's using now, but there's a warrant for her), but she's gorgeous. Like model gorgeous. She did lose a couple teeth though and had implants or a bridge or whatever they do, but her skin and hair is perfect.

I'd be more concerned about her drug use and year in prison, that how "good" she looks.

Just pointing out that not all meth heads look horrid. SIL is somewhere around the same age as the woman in that picture and looks maybe 25. She's been having drug/alcohol problems most of her adult life and like I said has been on the run the past couple years. She could be clean now. I have no idea. She looked pretty good at Christmas though.

Those photos just look like another day in my hometown The meth problem is horrible here. I've known people who've been into it in the past, but fortunately got out before they lost their teeth or got permanent scars. I saw one girl I went to HS with, she looked great from the back (all that weight loss), but when I said "hi" to her and she turned around I think she had about three teeth left, and they were black. I've never understood any addiction, but when I had to take liquid vicodin when I had my tonsils out, I finally "got it". That stuff was awesome, and I just wanted more. So, I had to be very careful with it. I got it after my last surgery, but this time found that unless I'm in severe pain, it just makes me completely nauseous. But! Heroin is on the rise, so we might be moving on from meth :/

face match is fun game! LOL I did horrible at that game! A couple I got right away, but several I wasn't sure about, got them on the second or third try (maybe I'd have more success fully awake)...

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. I think you're advancing specious arguments here.

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? I work around some of this stuff. The people I see on heroin have graduated from narcotic painkillers. They get painkillers usually for a legitimate purpose and they ended up hooked. Painkillers are pretty expensive on the street so when they can't afford that or can't get scripts anymore, they turn to heroin. I think some of these people know drugs are bad but they get hooked by something they never consider as bad. All narcotics make me want to do is puke so I don't get it. I had oxycodone after my knee surgery and I stopped no problems. It didn't make me sleep after a couple days and despite the meds to make me not puke, I still wanted to puke all the time. I survived on Sprite and crackers. Eating was a total ordeal. Each bite had to be carefully chewed and then I'd wait to see if it would settle. All that being said, everyone's body chemistry is unique. My body doesn't process many medications like others. I can take Benadryl and function perfectly fine. The oxy I was on would have made most people sleep. Taking Tylenol is a pointless exercise for me.

DH's older half brother has struggled with addiction nearly all of his life. He has some serious demons that he is battling- Dad volunteered for 4 separate combat tours (he was a helicopter pilot) in Vietnam and their bio mom checked out. She hand the boys begging on street corners and picking pockets and was selling the girls to men for money. DH's dad had no clue as they were divorced and he was away in the Marines. The cops called and he flew to Florida to get the kids and brought them all back with him to live with him and his new wife (DH's mom). The Dad passed away 6 years later and the older half siblings scattered- oldest girl was married and living in CA, older brother was in prison, and the younger girl died 18 months later. Middle brother was living with my DH, his mom and her current husband. They kicked him out for doing pot and the downward spiral began.
He has been in and out of prison half a dozen times and has fried his brain so badly with drugs that he is a shell of who he used to be. DH used to see him once every couple of years but in the 17 years we've been married his brother has only surfaced twice. He lives in a trailer and does salvage scuba diving in Tennessee for cash under the table. His best friend died playing Russian Roulette and he has had two girl friends commit suicide while dating him.
Last we heard he was living off the grid and Jesus was talking to him through the radio. That right there is enough to convince me to never do drugs. Sad situation.

I can't take pain meds either. Occasionally in the past I have because I think nothing can be worse than the pain, then I realize I was wrong!

So glad DH never made the leap to meth. His drug of choice was ephedrine. He could have easily switched once ephedrine was illegal but he said he never had the desire to do meth. He lost all his teeth due to drug use.
His niece is a meth head and so is her husband. Huge mess/drama. Lost custody of her kids and as far as I know I think it's permenant. She was just recently granted vistation after a court enforced rehab stint. Haven't heard anything recently about the situation.

He lost all his teeth due to drug use. Ephedrine... really?? I had absolutely no clue ephedrine had potential as a hard drug of abuse... it used to be available over the counter in those supposed fat-burning supplements. I used to buy them in college. I know it was pulled off the market because of a few meatheads who OD'd and gave themselves heart attacks ("if a little is good, more must be better"), but I honestly had no clue ephedrine could be addictive to the degree you describe. I'm sorry for what you and DH went through.

They cut the locks off and cleaned them out and put new lockers in. One of them contained a couple bottles of Stacker 2 or whichever version had it in them. My brother joked they could make a quick buck making meth with the stuff. He started in August 2005 and and one of their findings in those lockers was a bag of Chex Mix that had an expiration date earlier than his seniority date (hire date).

DH and I joke about this. If our kids get as nauseous from pain meds as I do, we don't need to worry about them becoming druggies. So there's a bright side.
But yes, I'm with you both on the thought that there is no pain that's as bad as the nauseous, can't sleep, can't read, room spinning awfulness that most of the pain meds cause.

I was good with the feeling sick as long as it was killing the pain and making me sleep. When I was hurting and waking up 9 times a night, I quit taking them. My surgeon has no idea why 10mg of oxy didn't knock me out.

Ephedrine was the main ingredient in meth.
Now that ephedrine is illegal they make meth with massive amounts of pseduoephedrine, which is why pharmacies limit how much you can buy.
Speed use was very common among college students for late night cram sessions, which is how DH was introduced to it. Speed was also popular with truckers to so they can stay awake during night drives.

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. What? Not worried about having to try your own product? or being 'pressured' into it by the new friends you'll make? Who wants to be the only one not drunk or high when out with friends? And then there's all the new 'security' measures you're gonna need - cause can you really trust your new friends (someday one or more of them may get the idea that you OWE them OR they are gonna need easy money and you'll be on their short list). And are people really getting rich doing this? Arent' they spending the money as fast as it comes in?

Illegal drugs are estimated to be a 20 billion dollar a year industry or something crazy like that, so yeah some people have to be getting rich doing it. I have a friend that paid his way through most of college selling speed and pot to other students. Ended up addicted to meth and wrapped his car around a telephone pole. He got clean shortly before I met him, mostly due to being in the hospital going through facial reconstruction surgery. He was making pretty decent money at it. Took him years to get back to the same income level legitimately.

I have to take a combo anti-histamine decongestant 2x daily and have to plan my purchases carefully. When the ban first came out we were living in AZ and ephedra is a native plant. In the old days people would make "Mormon Tea" from the plan (so you could plow so much faster!). I say make those lazy meth-heads go to the desert and DIY!

The turtlenecked babe is 35? Sheesh, 35 plus how many? Do they mean in dog years? She looks like she was dipped in meth, not just ingesting it. And I don't know what to say about her boytoy, except that the reason he's got his eyes closed could have something to do with not being able to look at himself in a mirror.
