Actually it's not a scare tactic. Active meth addicts can look like that.

Meth mouth is an awful thing too.

meth is yucky

Where the hell did you hear that from? What you understand is wrong. I used to be a meth junkie and in turn hung out with a lot like me. Nobody I ever knew thought there were bugs crawling on 'em. It's met, not a bad acid trip. Their faces look like that because the meth causes them to break out with acne. They get obsessed with popping these zits to the point they begin to scab over, then become obsessed with picking at the scabs and just making them worse and worse over time. I've known a couple of people who have done this to themselves, and always for the same reasons, never because they were trippin' and though bugs were crawling on them.

I don't know,,,
I'm thinking about weighing the pros and cons,,,
it appears that one guy got more hair out of the deal,,,

and the cons have been weighed,,, rather be bald than have some jacked up chompers like that,,,

2. Meth can mess with your skin.
Sores and scabs are common among meth users who methodically pick at their skin because they feel compelled to do so, or scratch it because they think there are bugs crawling underneath it.

Them alphabet boys will make you do football numbers.

The weed God made was not as the weed of today. It has been farmed to be a potent drug. It used to be made only for rope and such.

The US AIRFORCE used to feed it to their pilots to keep them awake.

Meth is not good

Meth is not good

Drugs are bad mmkkaayy?

Trust me....it is real and it goes on daily and nightly. I have never met a meth addict that didn't have those sores. It is VERY REAL!! It happens even ,more now than it did when I was using. It depletes the body of potassium and minerals and moisture. The sore come from that and picking. It is a nervous thing.

I see meth people daily where work. They are so obvious. Their faces tell it all.

Not to mention their mouth. The teeth are ruined and they also get sores in their mouths.

They do sometimes feel like things are on or under their skin. They itch and scratch and pick until they are a mess.

I still don't believe it. That's from a biased website.

It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. I was a meth user for years. I have no problem telling you it IS REAL...REAL...REAL....These faces with sores and holes and teeth that are rotting is REAL!!!!! The face tells all. I was lucky...I went to the dentist...I still have most of my teeth. I have scars from the meth.

'Lots of meth users will have sores because the meth makes them pick at their skin,”

http://www.arkansasleader.com/2006/01/top-story-drug-abuse-puts-drain-on.html

we used to call it crank. was a legit drug in the 70 s. no sores. no missing teeth. who knew?

We called it meth and speed til it started being carried in by crankshaft in trucks. Then it became crank.
It was a much cleaner drug then. But it later on became junk. it is made with the most poisonous and dangerous substances. Anhydrous, sulfur and red phosphorus,drain cleaner,iodine, battery acid, lithium and it has windex, rat poison,bleach,acid used in brick cleaning.It all has to come out somewhere. The poison comes out through your skin and it does feel like something on you,and sometimes you see it jump out of your skin. Most begin by looking in a mirror and seeing whitehead type things and start by squeezing and squeezing much like a pimple. I have never seen it cause acne, it just looks like that is what it is after one gets started picking. It dosn' t just affect the face. One gets sores on the arms and chest and the legs if they get that far. You may pick out your eyebrows, your hair, and cut skin off your self in various places trying to get rid of a something... nothing. It gives you horrendous breath and a foul smelling body odor.

I once had a friend that thought he had ringworms under his skin...he had nothing. We kept telling him to stop that nothing was there. Trying to stop a picker is very hard to do. They know what is happening but, can't help it.

don't forget paint thinner!!!

Meth makes you speed but after being awake for so many days you don't wanna move...so you pick.

Yeah....after a few days you just moan and groan and say how you want to sleep and dont even want anymore...til...you hear someone has some good sh!t and off you go. Or it comes to you.

It sure isn't the same as it was in the old days. But....the old days is where I came from. Slid right into the bad stuff. I never want to see that carp again as long as I live. I still know people that do it. I see people on it everyday.
You are right about the paint thinner...as I also forgot about a couple of other ones. I have seen it made and smelled the toxic
sh!t. I have seen how it affects the people making it. They are wired for sound. They do get sores from handling it. The fingers are raw and red as is their skin.
