Kids, don't do drugs! Faces of meth are scary
Mikey 24 comments
And here are 12 reasons why. These before and after mug-shots show the effects of regular meth abuse over varying periods of time. Nearly all of these poor sods are completely unrecognisable from their former selves, some in as little as 6 months.
Oh, and no that isn't Sideshow Bob in the preview below.

Wednesday 19th March 2008 | 01:58 PMOh man. Meth. There is nothing more depraved and lost of humanity than the Tweeker. Some people, when they get bit, they get bit hard. The Crackhead runs neck and neck with the Tweeker. Lifeforms onto themselves, freaks of a drugged nature. Yeah, they suck.

Friday 21st March 2008 | 08:01 PMWow, scaring tactics, nice one. Have never worked, never will either. On the other hand though facts don't seem to work either - tell the truth and you just increase the curiosity. Still, I doubt these "face of meth" change anybody's thinking, hence they're pretty pointless. Could also make "faces of alcohol", doubt it wold be more beautiful.

Monday 1st June 2009 | 01:38 PMRead the book Tweak by Nic Sheff, and if you want to take drugs, this book should change your mind.

Sunday 9th August 2009 | 03:39 PMThose who think this has no deterrent effect are the type of people who end up on these photos.
It sure as heck puts me off doing it.

Sunday 24th October 2010 | 02:50 PMwell, first of all, only the tweakers that dont take care of their health really look that terrible. i've see functional, fat tweakers that eat, sleep, brush their teeth, shower and take care of all their basic needs while still using. though this shows over time what meth could do to you it doesnt show the other half of the meth using population that you wouldnt recognize uses meth.

Take that in your pipe and smoke it, smart ass!

Tuesday 15th February 2011 | 11:02 PMK one you guys have no clue about meth obviously. My whole family does it and they all function fine. Have a home, kids, dogs, go too work, eat, sleep. These are just people who obviously can't handle drugs. I hate how people post shit like thus on the Internet when they have no clue. Grow up people, just cause you guys are probably pricks with lots of money n Good jobs. Oh wow yaaaay, no one cares. You obviously have enough time on your hands too comment on this so you need too find something too do with your lives instead of talk shit. These people actually have a problem and need help and all you guys have too say is ew there ugly? People these days I swear.

Drugs out of hand are a problem. You'll find plenty of folk who have been addicted to social or entertainment drugs in the annals of RL admissions.
Sure, not many of us are captain Jack or Cordelia but we all recognise our addictive qualities or personality disorder (one of us even expects the world to be as pedantic as he is!).
You never ever pity folk like these, you just keep trying to help.
Its never walking in the shoes of another soul, it's more like et tu Brute?
I'll now put my arseholeman suit back on.. May the RL community please forgive my removal of my "P" pendant for just a few seconds.
"You shouldn't have shot him! Guns are our last resort.
Always remember we are phantom agents".
If you are too young to know what that means, dont ask me, ask the guy who tried to rip my name off. Henry Rollins...

Wednesday 16th February 2011 | 04:30 AMPS I am a father.. I dread every phone call after 10 at night. You worry if its your parents, your kids or your best friends.
I think I understand fear.
Damn I wish Telstra would stop phoning! friendo and Joe never phone later than 9-55. Jake (the Bastard) phones at 6 am. Goldilocks is attending NUM lock lessons.

Wednesday 16th February 2011 | 04:49 AM...in response to this comment by Jake. Jake struck a massive chord in me. In the early to mid 70's we hobbits (participating shire residents and bra hotel friends ..only just) did the evrybody does it experimentation with drugs.
A few friends of mine had massive problems with the stock standard drug of the day. I've luckily maintained an addiction to much more acceptable modes of enjoyment. Smoking, drinking surfing (and dare I admit it) attempting to cast a decent fly.
Live fast, die young and leave a good looking corpse is hardly ever an option. Normal people cause a lot of grief. Drugs just cause divides. All drugs and all divides.
Taking illicit drugs really means that "you are so fucking self centred you'd let a dirty bikie or disgusting tribal/war lord to have his unsavoury way with the folk around him'".
Anyway, Ive got my plastic rain coat, I'm up the rail station before the pensioners and school girls start seeking transport..(its a victimless crime innit?).
lemme see.. all stations to hurstville.. thats's dane bank, kogarah star of the sea, ohlms hurstville... goody, next stop arncliffe.. thats the mecca kids.. Drugs are a perversion... perversion is a state of mind. Thank Cod I lost mine years ago.
Its a pity the Herald is a broad sheet... all that coverage..

Sunday 11th September 2011 | 12:07 PMwhats sad is the gov'ment released these recipes & methods into predominately white communities much the same way they did crack cocaine into the ghettos. You honestly think some illeterate red-neck discovered them in his backyard?

Monday 12th September 2011 | 10:46 PM...in response to this comment by kentucky. That cannot be denied; however, now users are making it using things like draino (lye) and other household cleaners to concoct that crap. I mean, it's not that different from sniffing glue. I was in a Michael's Arts and Crafts store with my sister years ago and she spotted this little girl walking down the aisle we were in holding a can of some kind of aerosol thing up to her face and cupping it over her nose and sniffing it in as she walked along and nobody said anything to her. (We should have called the manager on her immediately, looking back. What the hell were we thinking?) And she was with an adult! It's unbelievably sad what people will do to feel "better." Myself included.

Wednesday 14th September 2011 | 07:38 AMThats like complaining about common murder weapons such as hammers being used to build houses. Very poor analogy very wild association.
"They used nails in my house...OH THE HUMANITY!!!!"

Friday 16th September 2011 | 03:00 PMno, in pain.. Mother has started spitting her vegetables like a three year old.
Ive cricked my back lugging her attachments around.
Technically, everything in any drug comes from a nuclear reactor so you can say the risk assessment starts there.
Draino as the source of alkali for forcing certain reactions would be common except, hydroxide is far far cheaper than draino on an industrial scale.
I have to lie down and rest this aching back like Dr Smith. Have you read anything from the bubble headed booby of late? Friendo hasn't sent my appearance fee either.
See you next

Wednesday 19th March 2008 | 01:50 PMI don't think these add campaigns work, most people don't try a drug with the intention to get hooked on it and dig holes in their face, they git into it for a quick high and cant handle the comedown or get too adicted to the highs that the lows become unbearable.
A mate of mine tried the stuff and was instantly hooked, I haven't seen him since. He was just looking to get high for the night.
