These Meth pictures are like the WWII clap pictures. Overdone to sell their POV. Meth is an extract from a cold Med and was used for decades as an "upper" by average Americans. It was available as pills prescribed by Doctors. It is still in pharmacies available for prescription. They justify this kind of propaganda as "doing God's work." It has been going on for a century by the anti-drug crowd. Not everybody is as affected as they picture them being. When you lie about drug problems the way our Gov does, it makes them worse. People know the effects are not as bad as shown.

No different really than this. youtube.com there are other videos, worlds fattest kid, woman, etc. Collect up pictures of them at age 6 and 10 and 15 and 20 (you get the idea) and a progression of the consequences of overeating are clear. So, let's pass laws that cap caloric intake a 2000 per day per person. And obesity is probably (I don't wish to get into that discussion) a more widespread problem with greater societal costs than drugs. JMO, but of course you already knew all this. ARS
