Meth addicts before and after pics

not trying to slander but IMO i think Aaron Carter looks like he is METH... if you ever watch house of carters his face is sunk in and his blisters/zits....

if you look how full his siblings faces look then HIS... he doesnt even look like them its so much skinner...

A drug dealer has my stupid sister-in-law's truck right now. She apparently couldn't pay him, and you get discounts on your crack if you let them use your vehicle. Sorry, she is STUPID and I'm sick of her.

God...that is terrible Lob. How does your brother deal with her? Is he one too?
*shudder*. Illegal drugs like meth scare the shit out of me.

She's my husband's sister. And my husband can't stand her, either. She has always been a selfish bitch, and becoming a crack addict has ensured that she can continue to be the most selfish of all bitches, but now with an EXCUSE.

How many meth addicts have you come in contact with? These photos aren't mean spirited, they are the reality of meth.

I work with meth addicts every day and at first I felt truely sorry that these people were in the grips of something so powerful. After a while, you see what sort of damage they do to society, not just themselves. In our state, a huge percentage of inmates are meth addicts. I've listened to them tell me about stealing, lying, murdering, and ruining their families all to get high. They go to prison, get treatment, get offered help on the outside and they all piss it away. They ruin their families, and most importantly, their children. Addiction or not, I have little to no sympathy for these people any more.

I still can't understand why people do meth. Doesn't it have some disgusting products in it, like battery acid?

Really?

I don't know part of me thinks it's well deserved.

Another part of me thinks that if we we more honest about the weakness of man and didn't politely skirt the issues of what make a life a waste of oxygen maybe there'd be more fear instilled into those that will the future of this earth.

or maybe I'm just mean.. dunno

I don't have empathy for addicts I guess - I find these people to be very weak and worse unworthy of living as someone else's burden because of their weakness.

All that just to feel good - I don't get it.
