Faces of Meth

I can't believe the damage this drug can do. I used to think heroin was bad.

That is scary - and they look rougher than some heroin addicts I know who've been using 7 years plus.

Big trigger at frame 2:46

Stop watching after the meth mouth shots if you are susceptible to triggers right now.

I know I looked rough after this last bout that only lasted 2 months. My friend said I looked and sounded ancient.

Alot of the physical damage is caused by neglect of hygiene. However, the tooth thing is strange. My teeth are very sensitive and they've always hurt ALOT post-amphetamine buzz.

At first, I thought you meant not taking showers...lol.

The neglect of food and water doesn't help, but it's the effects of meth on the body that do the real damage.

I just posted this link on another thread, but it's extremely pertinent to this discussion:
