It's based in my county. Tweakers are BAD here... and it's so much worse out in small towns. They're fucking everywhere. We don't have as many meth labs anymore since we banned over-the-counter pseudoephedrine, but it's still a pretty fucked up situation. My friend bought and rehabbed a former meth house, and it was... I can't describe how disgusting it was. It was beyond foul. There was shit. On the carpet.

The zombies ride their bikes or shuffle up and down the street looking for something to steal, and periodically they're replaced by new ones. I don't think they live very long after they hit zombie stage, maybe a few months.

Yeah, I've seen it. I think those cases are the very worst case scenarios, it takes a lot of dedication and meth and stupidity to get *that* bad. 
But no doubt, I'm sure there are plenty of people who *are* that bad. Don't get me wrong, not trying to defend meth here or anything, I just think these are some of the extreme cases.
Still, 1 in 16 people actually benefit from meth abuse, as this picture prooves

And the chick in the video was one of them. Ergo there is no argument.

Lies, I'm not sure you really comprehend American idiocy.

There's a virus that uses E. coli as a vessel to reproduce, killing the bacteria in the process. But the virus is not exactly a living organism. It's a zombie that uses living things to proliferate.

American stupidity is like that virus: feasting on poop, virulently reproducing, but never really living.



You can almost see the American dream about to wriggle out of that woman en masse.

Guys, I'm relatively sure this *isn't* meth. It looks like some kind of mental retardation and it's just been "jokingly" put up as a meth thing.

Speaking as a former hard core abuser, this is *not* the kind of fucked up meth makes you.
But I could be wrong. Maybe I just don't *Want* it to be meth. But honestly, this doesn't add up to me.

Stop talking out of your ass, Lys. This post makes it obvious that you actually don't know fuck-all about meth. Staying up for a 3-day bender doesn't qualify you as a former hard-core tweeker.

This is EXACTLY the kind of fucked-up that meth makes you.

And while the physical symptoms she displayed may take months or years to develop to that degree, the spastic limb motions and nonsense babble tend to manifest themselves after just a few days of straight tweeking.

What ECH said.

Also, "consistent with crack"? What the fuck are you talking about, crackies don't act like that. Now you're just making shit up to sound like an expert.

That's meth. Why do you think they're called "tweakers"? And it's not rare cases that get that bad; most meth users become addicted, and of those addicted, life expectancy is only about five years from the onset of addiction.

ITS A CRACK ADDICT.

I CAN TELL FROM THE SCABS AND FROM DOING QUITE A LOT OF METH IN MY TIME.

Trust me, it IS meth.  Right down to the "meth mouth".

I won't go into details as to how much I used to use, but I used a fuckload. Try month long benders.
I know fuckloads about meth. I know what it does to your teeth. I'm still paying for that now despite my meticulous oral hygiene. Just the other day, another one of my fucking molars cracked while eating a fucking BAKED POTATO.

I was never denying it couldn't be meth, but this seems like poly-drug use to me.
And I know people who get into crack, they're the ones who seem the most "strung out" and "out of touch" than any other type of drug user demographic I know of.

I don't advocate meth, and I'm not defending meth here, I just suspect that this isn't *just* meth, I have no doubt there's meth involved considering the meth mouth and terrible skin condition, but it's just weird to me seeing this, because I've never seen anyone get *that* fucked up on *just* meth. Like I said, maybe it *is* just meth and I don't want to believe it, but I just think it's more likely this is the effects of poly-drug use, I'd put my money on meth + crack.
I'm not talking out of my arse, I'm just trying to get some consistency here on my personal experience and understanding.

Yeah, trust me, I know ALL about meth mouth.

Well, heavy meth use does cause permanent brain and personality damage that severely impairs interpersonal relationships, so that explains a lot.

Tweakers don't usually do crack unless for some reason meth is unavailable, because crack is much more expensive and the high is shorter. Tweakers can rarely afford crack because they can hardly get their brains together enough to steal a stereo to sell for $5 for meth, let alone find anything worth the $20 it would cost them to get high on crack for five minutes. Further, crack highs are intense enough that the users are usually incapacitated for the duration of the high, not out and about tweaking like meth addicts... haven't you ever seen anyone on a crack high? I assume not. Behavior when a cracky is down is way, way different from when a tweaker is down... crackies are jumpy and itchy and pleading, tweakers are just fucking weird and scary and flappy and talk way too loudly with an excess of TMI.

Honestly, I think I must be quite lucky to still have my wits and smarts about me considering how much I used.
I have a hundred fucked up tales I could tell of my "meth adventures", that I've been considering chronicling for posterity and a warning for others, it's a side of my past I'd rather forget, and if I could go back and change things, meth is one of the things I would have never gone near had I known back then the things I know now.

A part of me feels dead inside. It's hard to explain. Putting it one way, the first time I got high off meth was the best time. From there, it was all downhill, I could never get that same buzz, but I kept chasing it anyway.
I don't *feel* the same way I used to feel. In some ways, I feel like there's a stranger inside my body now, there's still *me* inside, but there's parts of me that are missing. Summers don't feel the same. Winters smell wrong. Love has lost its original meaning/feeling. Things that used to make me happy are dull and lifeless, having a fun time always feels like it's missing something.
Trying to do extended amounts of work without the energy boost that I used to get from meth, becomes very tiring, very boring, very draining, very fast.

It's true. Meth is a hell of a drug.
And like I said, maybe I'm just in denial about what exactly meth can do. I KNOW it's really bad. I just have a hard time accepting that it's *that woman in the video* bad.
Maybe that could have been me right now if I kept up the stupidity, and maybe I'm trying to separate and distance myself from that idea, and don't want to believe it would have done that to me.

Thing is though, many people who take meth, are usually also poly drug users. I don't know many people who take illegal narcotics that just stick to one (with the probable exception of say, pot smokers and a few others), most of the time, if you take a "hard drug" you'll be curious about all the rest.

Dude. Part of you IS dead.

Meth is a demented road-construction crew. Instead of a relatively thriving 'you'-city, you've got a bunch of vaguely connected villages and a few billion dead-end highways that used to lead to various places, like 'fun'-ville and 'true-love'-burgh. And all the dopamine-mines in your brain are not only depleted of valuable ore, but the mines have collapsed and are now safety hazards.

Parts of your brain are now post-goldrush ghost towns. Nothing but bleached bones and fouled water.

Thanks for the reminder. It's a good thing the part of me that cares is dead too now, eh? :P

You're going to have a fun time rewiring yourself, innit? You seem like a cool dude. I hope you care about that and staying away from that shit. And other assorted shits.
