The horror of Meth: Before-and-after pictures reveal shocking transformation in faces of users hooked on deadly drug (Photo)

FFS, METH IS NOT A HALLUCINOGENIC/DISSOCIATIVE DRUG! It's a straight-up stimulant, like coffeine or tobacco. Amphetamine, meth's A+ little brother, is THE stimulant that that all others are evaluated against. People who lose their minds on meth likely haven't slept in over 48hours and are completely running on adrenaline-autopilot survival mode (keep in mind, some people who take their legal/illegal substance uses to such a degree are usually a bit screwy even if sober). They just need to smoke some weed, chill, eat a case of donuts and sleep it off for a whole day. Taking a double-dose of cough medicine (active ingredient is usually DXM) would alter your perception of reality moreso than peaking on meth 1-2 hours after first dosing.

It's not a hallucinogen? I had a friend who fucked with it back in the late 1990s for a few years. He would tell me stories about the "shadow people" that would chase him and sometimes catch up with him only to hold hands while circled around him and dancing.

These faces of meth websites are asinine and misleading. It's mainly the toxins in the impure street smack manufactured by amateurs that does this combined with other poor lifestyle choices. Pure pharmaceutical grade methamphetamine is a real weightloss drug and miracle stimulant. Of course they suppress the use of it and make it almost totally illegal except for the VERY rare instances that it is prescribed. If methamphetamine was decriminalized and sold at the discretion of a pharmacist it would do more help than harm. The substance being illegal and bullshit propaganda does nothing but amplify the destructive power of the substance.

Also, meth isn't grown in some other country by drug lords. It's made in this country by Americans out of chemicals. So the whole "legalizing it will put drug cartels out of business" argument doesn't work with meth. There is literally only one reason to legalize meth, and that is for personal freedom. The problem is that meth is so dangerous and damaging that it affects everyone around the person smoking it or cooking it. A house that someone cooked meth in will always make people sick after that. Therefore, giving someone the freedom to ruin their own life with meth might be fine, but not when it infringes on other's rights. If my neighbor smokes pot who cares. If my neighbor snorts cocaine that's his business. If my neighbor smokes meth then I care cause that affects me. The nutcases that think meth should be legal give libertarians a bad reputation.

wrong. Meth is the second most imported drug from mexico, besides marijuana (which isnt a drug imo)

cocaine is third on the list

meth is a big boon for the cartels

The first one looks like a burns victim
