Yes I agree Dasfuk,

Those pictures are disturbing. But let's not shove those pictures in the face of every middle school aged child BEFORE they start down the path leading to jail or death.

Drug addiction is the absolute selling of your soul and it's worse for women.

Guys simply die of overdose or get jail time for robbing the 7-11 for their fix.

Women have a guaranteed money making product for sale. That makes it much more difficult for addicted woman to ever recover from their addiction.

It's takes about $150 dollars per day to fund a regular drug addict's habit. Now where is a meth addicted or crack addicted or heroin addicted person going to get that type of of money?

But who cares anyway?

Hey Gary-

I'm out here in the great Pacific Northwest, and one of the local papers ran a series of articles a number of years ago on meth and the freaks that it turns out.

The article didn't pull a single punch, and was ruthless in it's vilification and condemnation of meth tweakers. It was in introduced on the front page, complete with about a dozen of those "before and after" pics that you had in your original post. The article turn into a series and won a Pulitzer, and was acclaimed, if I remember correctly, as a "groundbreaking piece on the truth of methamphetamine addiction" and went on to say something like "this article should be mandatory reading for every middle and high school child in this nation." Then it died, like a meth-head, a miserable death.

Then a strange thing happened. :shock: Over the years since the original publication of those pieces, and a few reprints since, they found out that our meth addiction problem among 21-25 year-old's had significantly decreased. :shock: :shock: :!:

When that article came out, my kids were 11, 13 and 15 (yup- churned 'em out regular every two years there for a while) and I showed them the newspaper on the day the pictures hit the front page. My 11 yr-old daughter, who is a fashion whore, actually shrieked. My 13 year old son (thank God for the boy) stuck out his tongue and grimaced, and my oldest daughter said "what a bunch of freaks...who are they?"

I said that they were before and after pictures, and they wouldn't believe me until they say down and read the article. If you look at the pics you posted- none of them look anything like the before photo!

My whiff (that's "wife" in my house) came in, said she had seen the paper, and asked the kids what they thought. They were horrified, and we told them that's what happens when you go down that road, and they'd better understand that. We also told them that if we EVER got wind of them trying ANYTHING of that nature, we would kidnap them and send them away to a foreign country to live until they figured it out. And I would.

Oh my gosh :shock: and eeewwwww

I've not seen the article that Ins. Teacher is speaking of, but I couldn't agree more...should be manditory reading for all kids third grade and up. And they should have to read it every year.

We need to stop sanitizing the truth and glorifing the drugs.

i did the illustration that Gary sourced above... meth, especially seems to tear the soul and body apart. as a painter, it's not a subject that sells in galleries, but it sure needs to be seen and talked about.

Billie Jean's NOT my lover.

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean

[1st Verse]
She Was More Like A Beauty Queen From A Movie Scene
I Said Don't Mind, But What Do You Mean I Am The One
Who Will Dance On The Floor In The Round
She Said I Am The One Who Will Dance On The Floor In The Round

[2nd Verse]
She Told Me Her Name Was Billie Jean, As She Caused A Scene
Then Every Head Turned With Eyes That Dreamed Of Being The One
Who Will Dance On The Floor In The Round

[Bridge]
People Always Told Me Be Careful Of What You Do
And Don't Go Around Breaking Young Girls' Hearts
And Mother Always Told Me Be Careful Of Who You Love
And Be Careful Of What You Do 'Cause The Lie Becomes The Truth

[Chorus]
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
She's Just A Girl Who Claims That I Am The One
But The Kid Is Not My Son
She Says I Am The One, But The Kid Is Not My Son

[3rd Verse]
For Forty Days And Forty Nights
The Law Was On Her Side
But Who Can Stand When She's In Demand
Her Schemes And Plans
'Cause We Danced On The Floor In The Round
So Take My Strong Advice, Just Remember To Always Think Twice
(Do Think Twice)

[4th Verse]
She Told My Baby We'd Danced 'Till Three
Then She Looked At Me
Then Showed A Photo My Baby Cried
His Eyes Looked Like Mine
Go On Dance On The Floor In The Round, Baby

[Bridge]
People Always Told Me Be Careful Of What You Do
And Don't Go Around Breaking Young Girls' Hearts
She Came And Stood Right By Me
Then The Smell Of Sweet Perfume
This Happened Much Too Soon
She Called Me To Her Room

[Chorus]
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
She's Just A Girl Who Claims That I Am The One
But The Kid Is Not My Son
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
She's Just A Girl Who Claims That I Am The One
But The Kid Is Not My Son
She Says I Am The One, But The Kid Is Not My Son
She Says I Am The One, But The Kid Is Not My Son
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
She's Just A Girl Who Claims That I Am The One
But The Kid Is Not My Son
She Says I Am The One, But The Kid Is Not My Son
She Says I Am The One, She Says He Is My Son
She Says I Am The One
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
