Faces of Meth. Pretty much one of the biggest contributions to society Oregon has had in the last 20 years or so. Right behind "oregon trail".

Every single one of them lost weight. So it can't be all bad, can it?

God, are there still people who have not seen those exact pictures?

At this point that photo spread is starting to feel more like exploitation rather than a cautionary tale.

I'm so glad that Fox News has bravely taken on all those pro-meth activists. Someone needs to speak up in the face of all the pro-meth messages that continually bombard our children!

Judging by the wrinkles, it not makes you lose weight but must fark with the collagen and elasticity of the skin, hence all the premature and severe facial creasing. I've met a couple of recovered meth addicts over the years and the wrinkles don't completely go away after they've gone back to a healthy weight. They look 5 or 10 years older than they actually are, like heavy smokers.

Does anyone here know what is behind all the meth addicts' teeth falling out? What's up with that? So when they're up for 3 or 4 days straight, they just stop brushing and eat sugar 24/7?

Meth is also extremely caustic.

I know a guy that took it, and was curious about his teeth. It basically halts your saliva production, thus upping the bacteria in your mouth...so you drink something sugary, its not diluted and eats away your teeth much quicker too. Put those things together, recipe for bad teeth quick.

I'm guessing that when you're high on the meths, you're going to scratch the hell out of all those goddamn spiders crawling all over your body.

Something like that.
 
2009-08-12 07:29:21 PM
Meth is a hell'uv a drug.

When ever I see the scenes of these people, I keep thinking that if you wanted an enslaved peasant class which will do anything the state will say, start giving people meth. It makes them smaller, hyper so they can work more and they are so messed up they will never organize and revolt no matter how poorly they were treated. Also they live much shorter life spans so you do not need to worry about end of life care. Plus they will willingly give up their children to the state to train as a new generation of raised by the state military dedicated to protecting the ruling class.

mmmmm evil plans of human domination

The meth is very acidic, causing the teeth to decay much faster. One of the side effects of meth is that you grind your teeth a lot, thus causing them to chip away and fall out.

Okay, I know this is Fark. But I have a question, mainly because I spent the weekend with my cripplingly codependent father in law, and it feels like my gut is eating itself:

His youngest son (27) has been on meth since he was at least 14. Maybe 15. He has also been paying food, clothes, rent, "school,"(questionable whether he goes, there are no receipts), phone, Sirius (??)...etc, etc., ever since he graduated high school. This kid/guy hasn't been able to hold part time jobs and is living off his girlfriend. When FIL visits him, he calls when he's in the driveway so the kid/guy can put anything away and meet FIL outside. It's bizarre.

FIL won't talk to him or confront him about drugs, and we aren't allowed to speak to him (we don't know where he lives, he doesn't answer the phone).

What kills me is that he's on meth and who knows what else. Whenever he is brought up and we suggest/demand that FIL stop enabling/paying for his drugs, he has a list of the same excuses he's used for years. He'll die if he doesn't help. He keeps his promises. He can't let go of his son. If we were in his position, we'd do the same thing.

I'm just at my wits end because it's so destructive. FIL lets his dependency on his son's "affections" get between him and his wife and any one else who disagrees with him. He's right, and we all want his son to die, so he's protecting his son from everybody. And FIL is the last family my husband has, and it kills me to watch this all.

I know this is Fark...but I was just curious if anyone had any insight.

Yes, I believe meth contains paint thinner.

Realistically?

There's nothing you or anyone else can do that's going to make FIL do things differently. Just know that in his heart of hearts, FIL knows what he's doing, and it's probably more painful for him than for anyone else around him.

Not much comfort there, I know. Sorry. My $0.02.

In re meth teeth, it's a combination of things. It's not the acidity of the meth itself, regardless of how you ingest it, but has to do more with the following;
1. Dry mouth. Leads to gum disease, tooth erosion, etc.
2. Teeth grinding.
3. Poor hygiene. Not just the mouth, but everywhere.
4. Acid reflux. Meth gives you awful indigestion.
5. Poor diet. Not just too much sugar/soda, but malnutrition, which also gives you sores all over your face.
6. Mouth breathing.
7. Fights caused by meth aggression. Teeth get loosened or knocked out.
8. STDs. Believe it or not, chlamydia or herpes can take out your mouth as well as your fun parts.

Put all these together, and lo and behold, your teeth go away in a very short time.

Frankly, due to the fact that your family is already a mess because of this situation, I recommend that you do whatever it takes to keep yourself healthy and sane.

Speak your mind and follow through. Otherwise, you have nothing but a family of denial riddled corpses to spend your time with.

Is that what you want? If not, then change it yourself.

That's the result I keep coming to. I was just hoping there might be something I was missing. Because the kid is going to die before he's 30 at this rate, and that's going to be devastating for FIL and family.

Thanks anyway :)

Smoking it causes the teeth to turn bad, injecting it means your teeth are fine but probably are infected with HIV.
I miss the days when people just smoked weed.
