Another round of "faces of Meth"

[bbgun]

In all fairness, some of these folks were pretty gross to begin with.

Moral of the story is, if you see someone with wounds on their face? They are meth users. :laugh2:

Pretty harsh drug. I recall a few years back that teen couple who called 911 for help and ended up freezing to death because they were so disoriented

Looks like "after" and "sometime after that" shots. None of those photos look "before."

Grim stuff.

Oh man I was hoping the last part of the thread title was "of meth".

All that was showing on the main index was "Another round of faces".

These are a treat.

 

[Hoofbite]

Wow.

#s 12, 13 and 14 are more disgusting every time I see them.

Couple of those guys were done a little good by meth. One guy lost his mullet and the other guy's mullet is receding significantly.

#28 developed a face-ton of scabs in only a couple months. What an overachiever.

And it only took #33 a couple of months to go completely wall-eyed.

I realize that many are probably months deep into their habit but man, those people are horrible looking to start with.

I want real faces of meth. I want picture of a guy 5 minutes before his first high and 5 minutes after his last high.

I haven't used much meth in, say, ever, so could anyone let me in on why they have scabs all over their ugly mugs?

When you stay up for even a few days you start losing some of that mental edge. When you stay up long enough you basically get crazier than all hell and imagine things. Sensations, sounds, sights. Throw it together and their "skin is crawling" so they pick the bugs off.

I think another part is that they are literally so preoccupied with paranoia that they don't even realize they are doing it. Obviously you wouldn't pick flesh off but if you were gazing out a window for hours on end scratching at an itch here and there, it's probably gonna start bleeding.

People that use meth often times have sores on their faces. One reason for this is because users often feel like they have bugs under their skin and they obsessively pick at their skin until a sore forms. Also, acne appears on their skin because of poor hygiene and because blood is restricted from the vessels. Along with picking on these acne spots and the hallucination of bugs, sores take longer to heal.

Also, meth users end up with what is called “meth mouth.” This is because meth causes extreme dry mouth and users have an intense craving for very sugary drinks and food. The lack of saliva leaves the mouth free to produce bacteria that eats away at the teeth and gums leaving weak spots that are extra prone to cavities and infections. Many times all of the user’s teeth have to be pulled out–even young users and those that have only been using for a short time.

Sounds like some people I know dealing with the lockout.

Wow, sounds like fun, sign me up! :

Actually it is a rush and people get off to or else they would not do it to begin with. The flight is great it is the landing that sucks. :laugh2:

Still waiting to meet a smoking hot meth chick who desperately needs $10 from me. I'm sure we can work something out.

She is out there if you willing to lower your standards. :laugh2:

Excuse me while I beat WG to the punchline:

She's the one who'd be lowering her standards.

Let us know how the gonorrhea treatments turn out afterwards. :laugh2:

The reason you haven't met one yet is because even meth users have "some" standards. You just happen to be below that mark :laugh2:

Sorry I couldn't resist.

EDIT: just having a little fun with ya, bbgun.

Find the nastiest strip club in Houston and wait for the applicants that get turned down to dance there. You'll need one of them "take a number" thingamaboppers.

Side note, I worked with a recovered meth addict that spent time in jail for possession and prostitution. She was 21 coming out of prison. She was/is stunningly attractive.

That's the kind you're looking for but it's like going to a nudist camp; the people you want to see naked aren't there. It's the one's you most don't want to see with their clothes off are the ones you get stuck seeing pick up their keys off the ground.

Yes, nudist colonies do seem to attract a disproportionate number of waddling land beasts.

I was channel surfing the other day and came across some program called Cellblock 6 (I think). The show was all about female inmates.

This one inmate was incarcerated after committing meth-driven crimes. During her interview, she said that she was high all the time on the stuff. She may not have been 'stunning', but I'll admit saying to myself, "This young woman is very attractive. I wonder what she looked like when she was high?"

Then they showed her arrest mug shot and I gagged.
