Montana Meth Project’s Billboards

Those adds are breath taking. They make me feel sick.

I don’t get the last one. Is it saying that her sister did meth because she was following her example?

these anti-meth ads are so intense. This is what we all need to see, the absolute truth in it’s raw form. I am glad people are talking about it, hopefully it will really get to some people. I think everyone knew Meth was bad, but showing you what it does to you and your family is what everyone needed to see.

I wonder if the last one refers to the little sister looking up to her older brother literally, like down from his cock. i know i’m twisted, but i was only inspired by these disturbing ads. brilliant yes, but I wouldn’t put it past them to leave an underlying message that the little sister sucked off her brother before and after he turned her into a meth addict.

drugs are bad. everybody says nobody beleives? my dad hung himself when i was 2 thanks to heroin. people die everydie to stupid things like drugs. u think ur the cool 1? the s trong one who wont get addicted? ur not. one try and ur done… think rehad will help? ya it will but the way of life is in your head already. once u have a bad point in life again u will go back to drugs.

My sister used to have a boyfriend that did meth before they were together,he had quit for about 3 months while he was with her, but then he got back into it…he stole her laptop (pretty much her only valuable possession) to pay for more meth and he’s in rehab right now, he looked so disgusting when he was on meth, it’s a horrible, horrible drug, if you’re ever going to do drugs do marijuana, I think we can all agree it’s the safest drug, but only do it if YOU want to, don’t do it from peer pressure or they’ll own you, if they’re pressuring you and you don’t want to do it tell them that it’s not cool that they do that, and if they keep pressuring you make new friends. If you do want to do it though be smart and do it in a safe environment with trustworthy friends. Contrary to what others say, weed isn’t a “gateway drug” sure it lets you have the opportunity to try harder drugs, but if you didn’t want to in the first place then you won’t at all, at least if you’re sober and didn’t do weed from peer pressure, that’s another thing, never ever try new drugs or say you’re going to try new drugs when you’re not sober, just tell yourself if you really want to do it that you’ll tell them you want to when you sober up and can think clearly. I know this isn’t a “DON’T DO ANY KIND OF DRUGS!” message and some people may be angry for my lack of hostility to smoking weed (but “DON’T DO DRUGS OF ANY KIND!” is just like sex-ed only teaching kids abstinence, a lot of them are still going to have sex(like myself) and it’d be better to teach them safer sex practices(which I took the time to learn myself, which is why my girlfriend isn’t pregnant) why do you think teenage pregnancy is so high?) I’m just saying what’s really going on, not exaggerations, unfortunately though these ads aren’t exaggerations, meth really can do this type of stuff to you.

Those are nasty and brilliant ill never do hardcore drugs but i only smoke weed and its not that bad.

LOOK BUTTSECKS!!!

Some of these are better than others. I don’t usually approve of scare tactics, but I think the most powerful one (for me) was third from the bottom, “tear off their own skin.” The least powerful was actually the top one, “lose your virginity here.”

I know they’re meant to be shocking, but billboards have a tough time getting the right demographic. How about a conversation with you six-year-old on the way to see Grandma? “What’s meth, mommy/daddy?”

Maybe I’m just an ass, but I found these pictures funny. The first picture had me cracking up! The only picture that disturbed me was the one where the blonde guy was missing a tooth and looked like he was mauled by a tiger. However, I found the last picture that implied that a sibling would do drugs just because an older sibling did some absurd.

Scare tactics, however true, won’t work on the desensitized youth of today, where we can shoot people into pieces with guns on a video game. Maybe I just have a sadistic sense of humor, but I’m not scared of meth because someone wants me to be. I will however, avoid meth and other dangerous drugs.

I understand meth is a problem in Montana, and can cause severe damage to the lives of addicts and those related to addicts, but isn’t this a bit much?

Ads aren’t normally this dramatic, but on Meth they are. The are so over the top no one could take them seriously.

If you think these are intense you should hear the radio ads. I am from Bozeman Mt and yes Jay Meth is a problem here like it is where you are from wether you are aware of it or not it is there, but it is a lot less of a problem since the Montana Meth Project started a few years ago. They refuse to put a glossy coat on a problem but to instead combat it with simple unembelished truth, its not pretty and not everyone likes it but it works. And kids do see these Oneric and that is the point. I don’t think you realize these are everywhere in Montana and popping up in surrounding states as well as they see how effective the campaign has been..

Meth is as bad as you are

I LOVE METH. these adds are retarded. I lol’d

Awesome. I’m totally ready for bed now.

No jay it aint enough, and kids need to see the kind of shit this stuff does to you.. it aint like pot smoking… it fucks you up

Props to the designers, these could be potential deterrents. They need some of these in Utah.

People should have the right to do whatever drug they want. Those ads are pretty ridiculous obviously those people have been using meth for a pretty long time. Drugs aren’t addictive people just have addictive personalities and will get addicted to anything that has a slight rush. Keep buying into the fear of everything and soon you’ll be afraid to step off your front porch.

wow. this shit is extreme….

@ Scotticus – I agree, and disagree with you. I agree that these ads won’t have to much effect on the youth of today. But I disagree with the desensitized comment. I consider myself a pretty avid gamer and of course play gory violent games, but this shit still shocked me lol. But maybe its just me. Then again,…..I don’t play alot of games were you are a meth addict.. lol.

I agree with Rich. More government scare tactics! This is not normal drug use behavior. This is drug ABUSE behavior. Encouraging proper and true drug education is the means to effective abuse prevention.

I’ve used a lot of drugs in my 50 years. I used meth everyday for 18 years. I used cocaine in the 80s. LSD in the 70s. I never once stole from anyone, left anyone for dead, prostituted my girlfriends, or beat my mother.

People that do these terrible things are criminals from the start. They would commit these crimes with or without meth. And they should be punished accordingly.

There are millions and millions of responsible drug users. We don’t hear about them because it’s a crime to to even experiment. If drugs were legal and controlled like booze and cigarettes then they would be cheaper and of purer quality. People wouldn’t have to resort to extreme measures to supply their habits. The money spent currently on enforcement could be spent on rehab for people who can’t handle drugs.

The government doesn’t care if you use drugs. As long as you use their drugs. There is a giant drug store on every corner. 40% of TV commercials are drug related.

Scare tactics didn’t work in the 1930s and they wont work now.

My friend was using meth. I didn’t know she had relapsed on it. I was falling in love with her, we’d been dating for 16 days though I knew her earlier. She had some heavy issues but was a wonderful, creative person and I couldn’t get enough of her. I knew she continued to struggle with alcohol. I learned later that she’d been using meth. In hindsight it was obvious but at the time she tried hard to hide it. She committed suicide six months under the influence of meth. I feel like I will never get over this. I still miss her so much.

I know people that have gotten off of Meth and still have to go to meetings and have relapses and can’t even do minor things like smoke a cigarette because it makes them want to do it again. Crack is bad too. These adds are not bunk, they are not overdone and it’s not propaganda. Now some of you may know people that have tried it or done it a few times or have done it yourselves but everybody’s affected differently…and in the majority of cases people are willing to do all of these things and have these things done to them just for a fix. I have a very close friend who had a crack habit that wasn’t bad until a year or two into it. He tried it once or twice a few years before he started doing it regularly, and after a year of doing it regularly he started robbing everyone, even had sex with transsexuals to steal it from them, became violent and hurt others, dropped about 60lbs and looked disgusting. Now this is someone who was raised by a good family and got good grades, had hobbies and lots of friends. He had one stupid friend who convinced him that smoking crack is just like doing coke except better. In certain areas of the US the area is affected by different drugs. SOme areas it’s meth, some its crack, some it’s heroin and sometimes it’s everything. Where I’m from I don’t see or hear anything about MEth, but almost everyone is affected by crack. There are some people who do it and continue their regular lives and work and have families. It’s all about self control but even in that respects they’re still all fucked up sometimes and there’s nothing saying that the addiction won’t get worse. I wish that we had some ads like that out here, because almost everyone is shocked and surprised when someone knew comes crawling out of the woodwork with a crack addiction. SOme people just don’t even understand it, they think it’s a ghetto thing and so when someone they love is doing it they tend to pretend it isn’t happening. My mother lives in ARizona and she said out there it isn’t crack but Meth. HOw can you say these ads are over doing it or are total bs? THat’s validating the drug in some way. We should all be healthy, clean and happy. Any type of drug use is going to detour that, so why not just embrace the shock ads? if there’s a negative fallback I’d like to hear it.

Hah, these are pure comedy.

I love drugs, I’m not an addict…I do well for myself and I’m fairly successful.

People abuse drugs, not the other way around, most of the commenters here are very naive.

Here’s some cold hard facts that you need to know about methamphetamine.

It outsells cocaine 3-1 in the USA right now.
It’s popular among both the Het and Gay factions. It really does make sex a LOT better.\
People that “evaporate” it and breathe the fumes and people that “drop” it orally very seldom break out in sores and exhibit the symptoms that you see in the ads.

People that administeer it with a needle are far more likely to show the symptoms portrayed.

Meth CAN alter your personality. I have friends that have changed terribly since becoming users. I also have friends that have been using it lightly on weekends for 15 years and you would never know it.

Meth is reponsible for a LOT of the thefts that are committed nowadays. People will steal and sell anything to support this habit.

The only habits that are worse than meth are alcoholism and crack.

Meth is a relatively easy drug to quit. You will sleep for 4 or 5 days straight and your kidneys will hurt like hell for that same period. After that, you can pretty much function normally.

Many meth users, especially the weekend users, hold normal jobs and family lives for many years.

Many lose everything.

Methamphetamine was used by Hitleer to keep his troops awake and able to fight long hours with no rest.

The US and Canadian governments use it today in military applications.’

I know a pilot that had to fly a 100 hour mission over Vietnam. How did he stay awake? Meth.

He was decorated by the queen for his efforts.

If you know or suspect someone is taking this drug, reach out to them. If you condemn them, you will lose them forever.

If I can help, I will. Ask me any questions that you like.

D-em@live.ca

fuck that shit smoke herb or do shrooms. no addiction with a ton of fun.

I live in Billings, MT and i have to look at these billboards everyday. I have to say they are really getting on my nerves. These ads remind me of “reefer madness” because they are clearly blowing the effects of the drug way out of proportion. I’ve never taking Meth personally but i have seen people on it and meth does not make you do any of the things the ads say.

This is another reason why some drugs should be legalized. Huge numbers of people smoke marijuana and when they see that the negative effects are negligible they will assume that everything they have heard about drugs are false and move on to “bigger and better things” if Marijuana was legalized we would be able to give kids an unbiased explanation of the dangers (yes there are some) and benefits of the drug. That way when they inevitably try it they will not question their knowledge of drugs and not wind up as a junkie. Several of my friends (one of which was the first person I got high with) started using other drugs after they found out that marijuana is not damaging if used in moderation and then decided to use ketamine, then cocaine ‘in moderation’. Luckily none of them have done any serious damage but there has to be countless numbers of preventable deaths caused by our societies unwillingness to accept that their initial, knee jerk response to marijuana may have been inaccurate.

Or pick up a teenth of weed and forgo the addiction entirely.

i’ve met some pretty fucked up tweaks in my day but this ad campaign is a little intense. methamphetamine is terrible, but this kind of fear mongering is exactly what’s wrong with society today. so much focus on what not to do, but nobody is telling these kids what they could do instead of meth.

these ads are fucking stupid.

Being on meth won’t fuck you up like these adds show, it’s when you become addicted that you start doing things you’d never even dream of. It’s the same with any drug, except weed and hallucinogens. Nobody ever robbed a gas station so they could buy a bag of weed, but I’ve seen crackheads do it before.

I think the “not even once” tagline is pretty misleading. I was a party girl for about 6-10 months of my life at the beginning of my twenties… sure I tried crystal meth, ice, e, speed, and even ketamine accidentally. I never felt addicted to any of these things, only took it when nightclubbing with my friends, and never missed it in-between times. The day I decided not to do it any more, I just stopped and didn’t miss it at all. I don’t regret my choices; I’m glad I’ve experienced it, had my curiosity satisfied and I know a little more about life. I understand that it is possible for it to get out of control, but these ads imply that if you use it even once, you’re on the road to becoming this kind of person. Not once during my drug-using days did I ever abandon my moral code or stop caring about my fellow humans, or even spend rent and food money on drugs. And no, I wasn’t well off, just a poor waitress working two jobs. I feel that campaigns like this don’t give people ownership of their own lives and actions.

Yeah cocaine is never laced with anything, especially not meth! -_- It totally doesn’t make it cheaper to produce..

REEFAH MADNESS

i actually used to see 4 of these on my way to work everyday! girlfriend one always got to me!

everybody’s gotta be an expert… this is why i think they should take away the comment boxes, and substitute the thumbsup/thumbsdown system of StumbleUpon and Digg…

Until it stops working and your life is filled with pain as you’re strung out from one bag to the next
Ugh, this makes me sick. I wonder where you’ll be in a year.
trees and psychedelics for life

You are totally right, it is not in the best interest of a drug dealer to sell a product that will kill the people he depends on for business. C’mon, who says we aren’t all slaves to money?

I used to be a former addict, this stuff will never stop people from using drugs… some people want to be destroyed, i did, then i changed my mind, so i stopped, no rehab. but there is a lot of bs out there, just like marijuana. You know, i did it for six years, everyday, I spent days a wake, and days sleeping. Some people, they’re paranoid, introverted, low self-esteem, these people are primed for psychosis. A lot of people think they’re shadow is a person. I dunno, you could do some amazing things on it though, but thats about 5% of the time. What’s so precious about living anyway 😉

cocaine is way worse than meth. you know what most people do while on meth? they make music. they draw and paint. they stay up for days constructing useless things and cleaning their house. they sit and play video games or board games for hours on end. having 3 day long conversations. never known any tweeker no matter how hard up that would beat someone or suck dick for meth. they might sell their stuff but thats about as far as it goes. i don’t know where the ideas for these ads came from but where i live only crackheads do things like that. i have been there done that. it is ultimately up to the user to decide if they want their life to go in that direction.

my mom knows i’d never hurt her. then she got in the way.
LMFAO

This is not Reefer Madness (which yes, was nonfactual), this is meth. Meth is fucked up. Meth will fuck you up.

A neurologist did some studies and figured out that meth is over a dozen times more pleasurable than sex. Your brain, not designed to handle that level of dopamine, very quickly shuts down all the happiness receptors in your brain and then -nothing- makes you happy again. I grew up in an area that has a meth problem, it’s a very fucking big deal. It’s literally ruined cities. People that are comparing this to Reefer Madness and are pretending Meth isn’t a big deal are fucking idiots that don’t do their homework. If anything these billboards should be more serious.

fucking scare tactic bullshit.

This is not Reefer Madness (which yes, was nonfactual), this is meth

It doesn’t matter what drug it is, by overinflating the risk they have lowered their credibility.

A neurologist did some studies and figured out that meth is over a dozen times more pleasurable than sex

Sounds like typical net/urban folklore to me. “A neurologist did some studies”, is not a useful citation, and neuroscience doesn’t have any quantifiable way of measuring something as subjective as ‘pleasure’. Maybe the results of a legitimate study were distorted by the press or word-of-mouth (highly likely), but there’s no way a study making those claims would ever pass the peer-review process.

Your brain, not designed to handle that level of dopamine, very quickly shuts down all the happiness receptors in your brain and then -nothing- makes you happy again

Once again, a misinterpretation of the science. Methamphetamine does cause a release of dopamine (along with serotonin and norepinepherine, which is similar to adrenaline), which stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, causing the user to feel alert and stay awake. There are no such thing as ‘happiness receptors’, the receptors it binds to are found in the mesolimbic and mesocortical pathways, the ‘reward circuit’, which is why amphetamine is so addictive.

I grew up in an area that has a meth problem, it’s a very fucking big deal. It’s literally ruined cities

Amphetamine use should be legalised, and the money used to police it moved instead to treating users. That way, it takes production and distribution out of the hands of criminals, and gives the people who use it a way of minimising the damage to their health, and collectively, to society.

And “ruined cities” is a bit of a stretch.

People that are comparing this to Reefer Madness and are pretending Meth isn’t a big deal are fucking idiots that don’t do their homework

I have done my homework. While I would never suggest that everyone should run out and start smoking meth, there is a right way and a wrong way to tackle this issue, and I believe scare campaigns and the continuation of a failed drug war is not the right way.

If anything these billboards should be more serious

Agreed. They are a joke.

sMOKE WEEd everYDAY MAN…whooop whoop i love weed why smoke meth and kill urself.. its lame.. go ganja all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so yeah im pretty much cool with everything BUT meth. in moderation the hard stuff can be groovy and in abundance the trippy stuff can be the greatest ego destroyer.

These ads are over the top – BUT – some addicts do go this far, not all people can use once and stop. Every person has a different chemical make up, that is why some people take benadryl and get hyper, some go to sleep. One person’s experience with any chemical – legal or not – may not be the same as yours. I hate the over the top ads for this reason, it makes you think that they are all safe, because all of the ads are a lie, but in reality – some people have addictive personalities and one time can hook them – on heroin, coke, meth, whatever – and once they start – they lose the ability to reason and stop. I’ve seen lots of people change their personalities on drugs, usually on the speed type (coke, meth, crank, crack) but also on prescription meds. In our area, most theft is for money for pills, not powder. Pill heads are a real big problem here. Everything in moderation, pot and shrooms are basically harmless, alcohol on the other hand is more evil than both of them. I’ve never known anyone to drive fast and wreck their car or want to fight when they are stoned – but I know tons of drunks who do. Take it from an old hippie that has tried most things – and survived – some of these drugs need to be handled cautiously – and sparingly. Weed not speed!!!

I was an serious crystal meth addict for over three years, and I must say, we looked bad, but never looked like we hungered for brains. Were these adds directed by Sam Raimi, by chance?

anyone that actually thinks doing meth would be at all a good idea should just inject themselves with bleach, the world doesn’t need you idiots polluting our ears with the sound of nickleback and other post-grunge garbage and the last thing we need is to be burdened by you reproducing. Meth would be a lot greater if it was made of lead and was directly injected into the back of the head.

OK, not to condone meth usage… really its the most pointless and absolutely PAINFUL drug i have ever done. when i was at the height of my addiction to various drugs i was using meth on an extremely occasional basis. i would use it for 3 days or so every 6- 12 months. I was highly addicted to cocaine, and ecstasy for about 6 months of my life… that was also a horrible experience overall. For someone like myself, methamphetamine was never a fun drug to use. you’d hit the chalet and be godlike for 12 hours, but after that you started getting sleepy, can’t sleep realize the chemicals have burned holes in your oral tissues, leaving VERY painful sores, your lungs are seizing up because they’ve been damaged in the same way. you are now the polar opposite of that godlike being you were 2 days ago, you are a fucking wreck. you even lose the ability to control your muscles properly. The crash and after effects of meth usage last for about 2 weeks. That type of tradeoff is not something most people want when they use a drug. honestly most people I personally know who used meth a few times, will never use it again because it hurts too much. none of them ever beat up their mom or tried to force other people to use it. most of them never injected it, and most of them encourage others to stay far far far away from the shit. yes, it reminds me of the reefer maddness thing. its a little over the top, but really not by too much. with meth, most curious drug users will try it, say fuck it and just grab a joint next time never to use it again. the people who continue to abuse this poison are not psychonauts, or hippies but people with some serious psychological issues that need addressing. i say let em die. its a classic case of social darwinism if i’ve ever seen one.

pardon my punctuation and capitalization as i don’t care, this is a stumble.

This is a message to all you fucking retards who dont know waht the fuck its like. Yea good one do coke cos its better, if u wanna do drugs then do them fucking sensibly, dont follow a crowd u fucking sheep. Anything is ok in a small dose. If ur gonna do any drugs shrooms is the cleanest and weed is the best (I don’t mean skunk).

Plus with chems u gotta realise that too much of that will fuck your head up and get u addicted. Keep it natural no matter what fuck tard told u its ok, there the ones sponging off us tax payers just to feed their bullshit habits that they put there themselves.

YOU MAKE YOUR OWN REALITY, NOT OTHER PEOPLE.

If you guys want to really take a drug, take LSD. Unlike every other drug, it does ZERO bodily harm. Its cheap, fun, and enlightening. Take it from someone who’s tried them all. Acid is by far the most amazing thing to ever be synthesized.

and remember,

Don’t sedate, create… and shrooms are for fun, acid is to become.

I think that meth isn’t a funny subject, I had a friend who was addicted for over a year and half, and he is clean now, but he had a hard time. And I know the effects of it. But, its YOUR life, your going to do as you please, but just remember, you did this to yourself, you put yourself into that situation, don’t blame anyone but yourself. If you can live with that in five years, when you “regret it” you can only look upon yourself when you are looking back upon it.

Smoke weed, its an herb, it was put here for a reason. Make the best use out of it.

I worked with a guy who sold ICE, a real pure form of meth here in Georgia. You could tell when he started doing it. He didn’t look AS bad as some of these pics, but pretty damn close. He wore a bandage on his forearm for a month because he had picked a huge sore on his arm one night on one of his week long trips. Meth is NOT a drug of my choice, and IMHO it’s one of those drugs, along with crack, that was only invented because of prohibition, and we would have been better off without it.

Crummy weed, maybe?

Come up to Canada, I’ll hook you up. I’ll be the one not killing anyone and not smoking meth…Oh wait, that’s damn near everyone here.

Lucky me.

I’ve never done meth and I have no interest in it. I’m sad that billboards like these scare so many people away from the wonderful effects of drugs. So maybe a tiny percent of the methheads in this world are whores, scratch off their skin, and kill for money. Drunks are worse and far more numerous.

Sheep: You make a really good point. I never thought of that.

Kids: I recommend not following the anonymous poster’s advice concerning cocaine. Yeah, it won’t make your skin fall off; But it will transform you into a total douche bag with an ego the same size you’ll think your dick is. Stick with weed, shrooms, and acid. Or no drugs at all if you like. 🙂

Richard Runyon: Please stop using the term “drugs and alcohol”. It implies that alcohol is not a drug, which is false. But please do keep advocating for people who are having drug problems to seek help. 🙂

yes they are my good friend 🙂

chillax, my gran takes meth, and she’s a smooth panther.

Majority of people who have posted on this page are a bunch of fuck heads and just need to crawl off some where and not breed. Meth is horrible. You dont have to use it to know this. Have you ever seen addicts go threw the shit that they do? Have you ever known anyone on this drug or any drug at that? Are you blind? I can’t think of one person I know that uses anything that will say the rediculous shit most of you are spouting out. Meth is an horrible horrible issue…..if you can’t see this maybe you need to get help yourself.

I cannot believe that there are comments from people who think these are “blown out of proportion”. Wow you must live a really sheltered life. This is real and not blown out of proportion or made to look worse than it is. The bill boards shown here are not even the TIP of what really happens. Meth is an epidemic people. OPEN your eyes.

Laughing at these ones
Nick
Joe
Missann
Kristen laugh now Kristen… until its your kid or neighbors kid that beats the crap out of you. I would like to be there to see you laughing then
Jodie
Drug lova…. Just wait it will catch up with you.
You people have a rude awakening coming to you all. Keep laughing.

mmmmmmm meth

I think its sick that people are making light of a drug such as meth and the situtations people on meth get into. Its no laughing matter when it comes to your town or family. Drug addicts dont start off that way its progressive and it all starts with that first hit. Remember one is too many and a thousand is never enough!!!!!!!!!! Love and Fellowsip!

I live in the SF bay Area, and this stuff has destroyed more lives than I can count. I used to have a bunch of friends in San Francisco. Now, they’re all meth-heads and are awful to be around in any way. I’d love to help them, but they’re only interested in having sex with me; not stopping the drugs (and THEN having sex with me).

these ads are all true. use enough meth (you’ll find that enough is never enough) and you really will end up as the character in the poster.

fuck you hiedi for laughing at peeps on drugs. its not your place to do so. it sucks if you get addicted to meth but dont be puttin all drug users down. weed, shrooms, lsd, ever heard of DMT?.. all fine for your. they’ve probably influenced more great minds than you could possibly conceive.
you only get one life, why not experience as much of its beauty as you can.

I AGREE WITH CHAD WHAT SWEET ACTION!

Meth is very addictive, but the real problem is brake fluid.
I am addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop at any time.

i knew a guy once, got arrested for stealing from the chemistry dept at my old high school, they thought he was makin a bomb. he was settin up a meth lab. i’m pro-choice and legalization, but people should know what they’re gettin into. read up on drugs before you try ’em and believe me, after trying some shit you’ll never wanna do it again, but you’ll also have a better perspective on life. i hope they also have anti-alcohol and anti-cigarette billboards up in montana, as i reckon there are far more addicts to those drugs than meth.

Meth. You only live once.

hey anyomous2, FUCK YOU! you have no fucking clue what the hell you talking about. weed isnt a drug, its a plant. same exact fucking thing with shrooms. and drugs only become an addiction if your to stupid to realise when your killing yourself. if you sell your body for meth, as long as your happy, then go for it. yea you dont need drugs to be happy, but smoke one joint with a good friend, and go for a walk to mcdonalds or something like that. it will be more fun for you than anything. and fuckers like you who sit here and talk shit bout users need to take a hit. as long as your happy with your life then you can do whatever the fuck you want.

Meth is trashy. If you are curious about drugs, try ANYTHING else but meth, heroin, or esctacy. Although I do hate acid. I’m not a fan of seeing shit. My imagination is vivid enough as it is, seeing things just scares me. Everything else in small doses, every great once in a while is fine. Yeesh. Those meth ads, though…. I do admit they are better than the anti-weed ads! hahaha “I stole money from my grandma, ditched my friends, forgot to pick up my little brother after school, and sent naked pictures to everyone on my phone all thanks to weed.” I don’t smoke weed anymore but I don’t know about you guys… I never had the urge to steal money or send nudes to anyone ’cause I was stoned. Lame.

I can see that the majority of you have not taken Meth , take a little and probably change your mind or at least open it. Or better yet go to your local doctor and tell him that you have a concentration problem and he will try to give you a host or meds like, vyvance Addarall its pretty much the same thing and its legal. I have taken meth and vyvance and i don’t see a difference and they give this shit to kids. The bottom line is that people that look like this probably had a problem to begin with, this drug is conducive to OCD and insistent behaviors so if you have a problem to start with it will only be amplified.

FUCK ALL OF YOU THAT THINGS SHOULD BE REGULATIED THE MAN IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE THAT PERSON AND YOU GO TO JAIL! NO JOB BECAUSE OF CHARGES AND A DEPRESSING LIFE, NO ONE WINS BECAUSE OF REGULATION

THINK FOR YOUR SELF!!!

Am I the only one who thinks the picture of the beat up mom is fucking hilarious?

The problem with prohibition is that it treats all drugs the same, no differentiation between hard and soft drugs, so someone who doesn’t know better might think these Ads are overblown/inaccurate like most of the information they’ve been fed about cannabis.

Doctors prescribe amphetamine salts to young children in the form of adderall for ADD. It is legal meth. Doctor, drug dealer, pharmacologist, its all the same, except doctors and pharmacologists go to school for 8 -9 years and have higher intelligence in most cases, but you normally won’t find a meth dealer selling to 7-year-olds. The war on drugs isn’t working. Healthcare is a joke. I think religion is the root cause of stupidity and ignorance in the world. I could go much deeper, but this isn’t a lecture hall, and I’m ready sure to get plenty of stupid remarks on something I’m not ever going to check. That being said, we’re still at war. Read a book or something. fuck off. 🙁

i love drugs too, and moderation is key. But I want to point out there’s a fine difference between hard drugs that can fuck you up quick if you’re not careful, and the danks. Marijuana is legit, and it’s ridiculous how the government keeps lying out their ass about something that improves people’s lives. Bud’s illegal because of corporate bullshit, and alcohol & tobacco are the top killers. It’s really just bias that the people accept when really we should be doing the research ourselves. I agree the war against drugs is a war against people, it’s our damn lives, when the hell was mothering us government responsibility. The worst part is that they trip like they’re being moral about it, doing good for us by restricting our individual liberties, and playing us like we don’t know any better. and most of us don’t! Let’s fight against this bullshit people

anyway, i got sidetracked lol this meth campaign seems to be doing good for people who are on the verge or already addicts, to help them see how they may be acting, but really there’s so many tricks and bullshit in advertising, it almost doesn’t matter

I’m with Emily and Chad. Did anonymous2 just advocate rape?

Methamphetamine and amphetamine are not the same, please don’t seed the lethal misinformation (@anon). That way someone could think “oh, it’s a medicine, so I can just take it over the counter for pleasure:) ” Though, here in Serbia doctors don’t prescribe amphetamine, and I support that. What I don’t support is that marijuana is treated the same way by law and anti-drug campaigns, which is lethal, too, like someone said above.

I have never tried meth, so for me looking at these pictures seem a bit extreme, but then again I’ve never tried it so i don’t know. Although, some of these things could be caused by other things also such as homelessness (taking money from a old man) or sever depression (cutting oneself). I understand the point is to scar kids into not doing meth, but it is just to extreme that it is some what unbelievable.

Ghost, not only is it halrious, the bitch clearly deserved it.

how about
“Meth: tried it once, enjoyed it, thats about it”

My biggest gripe is the singling out of one substance.
Meth isn’t the real killer. Putting anything in the hands of someone unstable, insecure, addictive personality or prone to excessive behavior can lead to similar situations.

Obesity is a killer, so are we going to make cupcakes illegal and demonize pasta because some people can’t control themselves? No.

We should warn younger generations on the dangers of binging, abuse, addiction, and excessive lifestyles of EVERYTHING. The time has come to stop regressing to outdated viewpoints and embrace the fact that the young generation will experiment. Our job as responsible adults is to guide them, not scare them.

There should also be more separation between a drug addict/abuser from a drug user. What do you think? If these categories are more easily distinguished from one another, with a drug user being more integrated within the socially acceptable sphere similar to a frequent drinker (but not an alcoholic), then there would be less problems of people going to the extreme because of the social stigma? Just a thought.

I think these are powerful billboards. I’m not saying drugs are bad, just that they should be used with full knowledge of what you’re getting into, the effects/consequences, and to be responsible.

And yes the mom one made me lol

okay i think that everyone is gonna do what they want but these adds are trying to lead ppl down the right path. drugs liquify the brain and even tho you dont get addicted or whatever it still damaging your body. i dontget why ppl flip out when they say drugs are bad. they are. ALL drugs. calm down. if you are a druggie dont yell at me saying drugs are fine! “your a dumb ass for not knowing how to use them,” no your the dumbass.

I’m with you anon. The War on Drugs is a war against me. I’ve tried probably almost every drug I can think of. I’m perfectly fine I’d say, certainly not an addict. I do smoke marijuana regularly and I recently quit smoking cigarettes. Do what you want to do, but the black market creates a short supply and the demand stays about the same. Drug prohibition doesn’t work, it just drives prices through the roof. Then, people go crazy to get something that should be as cheap as sugar or table salt. If it were as abundant as other drugs, people would be less tempted to use them and would more quickly realize the danger in lack of moderation. People behave differently when pushed away and treated like a criminal. Drug abuse is no different than soda abuse, alcohol abuse, sugar abuse, etc. They all carry with them risks — too much soda, obesity; too much alcohol, drunkenness and liver problems; too much sugar, higher diabetes risk. Only when you are properly educated and it becomes normal to consume drugs moderately will the drug problem go away. This is probably all at the fault of organized religion — they always want to tell everyone what to do. We basically should just stop listening to religious folks and acting according to good, sound logic. These ads are a crock of shit — sure, these are the results of those who didn’t stop. If the taboo factor was out the window these people could have had the help they needed a lot faster and without much criticism. Adderall is the same thing, with less trash I’m sure — they have a whole chemistry set to play with, so they probably do a better job than high school chemistry students. I’d rather not see the whole neighborhood go bye bye because all these stupid fuckers want to tell people what they can and can not do, and then make it law. If you could buy it off the shelf then it wouldn’t be a cool thing. Maybe kids would take the ad seriously then. If they don’t believe it, then a quick trip to Walgreens and they would soon find out. Then they would tell their mom, “I took this pill and now it makes me want more of them.” Mom would say, “Oh, that’s called an addiction, honey. Don’t take any more of them, it only gets worse with time. Just let it go away on its own.” Problem solved.

i was a meth addict for 6 or 7 yrs, i just got out of jail for dealing. these ad’s are shit nobody get like this. theres very little physical addiction when coming off the drug, even after many years, im not saying its a great drug, any drug when miss used is going to coarse problems. some people shouldnt use meth some people shouldnt drink alcohol each to there own. legalize all drugs i say.

Anyone know where I can get in touch with that girl in the 5th picture down?

$15 to shag that? That’s a deal in anyone’s book.

I used to do that shit. Honestly, I found the ads hilarious. If I’d seen them before experiencing the first-hand effects, I still would’ve laughed. This won’t do shit. Probably hasn’t done shit.

Besides, the girl having sex for $15 doesn’t look high, she looks like she’s gonna puke.

thats fucked uppppp…..

Well so frankly this is a load of bullshit. If people want to destroy their lives, go ahead. The government trusts people to make the right decisions about a variety of things which even potentially interfere with others lives. To name one, driving cars safely and maintaining them appropriately, the ownership of firearms, not to mention the safe use of legal drugs. Though when it comes to drugs, the state heavily regulates even illicit drugs such as pot which in comparison to some standard legal pharmaceuticals is fairly mild. I feel and research backup, is that this no-tolerance drug policy destroys more lives by far than it “saves”. For example after the Alcohol prohibition act during the turn of the 20th century in the U.S.A, not only did organized crime profit greatly but many more people died from using unsafe home-made alcohol, not to mention all those whom were sent to jail for simply wanting a bit of inebriation. Also take into account Portugal, it has de-criminalized ALL formerly illicit substances and what has been the result? Contrary to what Montana may claim, skin wearing methheads did not roam the streets beating their mothers and selling their girlfriends into prostitution, drug use and abuse rates have dramatically reduced and the state is now saving lots of money that would have used to be used to put many normal people behind bars. So honestly Montana go farm some wheat or whatever the heck you do.

It’s not actually “meth” that these ads are talking about, it’s “addiction”.
People can be addicted to many many things, not only including drugs, that will cause them to commit violence and self-degrading acts.

You could replace “meth” with “beer” in every single graphic.

ppl please thats so stupid first off everybodys trip is different i knew girl that if she takes one hit of weed she pukes like the exorcist and i knew another who free based or injected heroine all month and the next month quit cold turkey like it’s nothing so your not special if you can quit cold turkey or never get a bad trip your just lucky cause you never know when you’ll make the mistake of trippin with the wrong crowd or me for that matter ……..and that mom ad is fucking funny thats the best ad fail ever besides it’s like a fire man came in your mouth

why can’t i find some hot ass girl to sell me her body for 15 bucks?

im reading these and i wonder..do the people who want to legalize man made killer drugs no what the hell it actually does!!…medical stuff i have issues with to ie theyr side effects are worse than the problem and the docs try and solve it all with more pills wtf anyways
pot isnt man made and it has show that it can actually help they even think it slows cancer cells relieve arthritis helps with depression etc it helps so i still dont understand why it cant be ligalized (diffrent topice)
however meth heroin xtc crack what ever you want to call it those drugs thats man made it can kill..this is the problem with the billbored its showing the extreems but if they dont show extreems ppl wont realise what it COULD do
also the ppl on here saying it hasnt done me any wrong bla bla bla that isnt helping to stop ppl from trying it!! thats encouraging them making them think oh he or she has done it and they say thier fine but not everyone is the same…so please be carful what you say i actually found this because i glanced over my son’s screen while talking to him and hes only 10!!
and by the way dont mouth off at me for letting my son flick threw sites wihout parently guidence..what you want me to do pull an eyeball out and have it watching him n his computer while im doing the house chours!!

maybe some people dont want to be normal. they wanna stand up for what they believe in, meth. FUCK YEAH FOR M3TH!!!

omg. most of us know that any sort of abuse of anything is not good. legalizing crap or not, well I think they should legalize about EVERYTHING so that the drug-loving-idiots can finally liquefy and fry their brains and bodies. I mean get it, most of these anarchist hippie-wannabes have a pathetic view on their lives and time anyway. They do not know any better. Like for example the fact that there are better things to do with your time, money an energy than getting high like for example getting a HEALTHY or productive hobby like WORKING OUT, READING, PLAYING MUSIC (NOT JUST LISTENING TO IT WHILE BECOMING A PLANT) etc etc.

fuck you junkies and hippie-wannabes

Im gonna jerk off to that $15 Dollar sex one.

Okay Josh who posted on the tenth your a dumb ass meth is made from shit you would never put in your body (if you had a brain) and you want that to be legal?!?! Crack, meth, coke, pcp, X all of these drugs are man made! I do think marijuana should be legalized, it’s just a plant, it’s natural, it wont rot your face like meth. Have you ever seen an addict? Because I think if you had, you wouldn’t be saying this shit should be legal. Some people are born in to drugs. I know someone who was started at five. Thats awful and your disgusting for even thinking that that shits okay! When people are on these kinds of drugs they aren’t themselves, they don’t give a fuck about anyone else, they just want their next fix. God your an idiot. All of you dumb asses that think its funny, its not. It’s sad. It’s awful and ignorant people like you have probably never even come in contact with a druggie.

IM SO HIGH, I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO MY OWN NAME WAS!

(but not on meth, lol!)

For the love of reason, it’s been shown clearly that these scare tactics do just one thing; they make it ok for “normal” people, mum and dad, or average white girl #2 to feel ok about calling the cops when they see someone who has fallen from grace. If Meth were legal, each of these cases would be different. I’m not saying they should sell it in Starbucks (i’m sure they would if they could), but if people didn’t have to deal with a massive, lucrative, violent, criminal element to get this stuff, they would talk to a pharmacist every day. We could have a system that catches this dangerous, self destructive behaviour early.

But PEOPLE DON’T CARE, it’s easier if drug addicts are just criminals. Put them in jail, fine them, keep them away from our kids.

The initial trigger is curiosity, thats why people try drugs. It’s simple. Everything after that is how they react to altered reality.

Methamphetamie is a powerful chemical. Please be careful and read about what it does to your brain. It can be an interesting tool, but is more dangerous than any other drug i have ever encountered.

And please help anyone you know by giving them as much information about it as possible. Advertising won’t help drug addicts any more than it will teach children to read.

Good Luck everyone.

Uh, methamphetamines are destructive chemicals. So are amphetamines(ritalin, adderol etc). These things should be illegal. Marijuana, on the other hand, just gets you high. There is no desire to screw people over or tear your own skin off as stated by multiple meth addicts. And dont try to say marijuana is a gateway drug, this effect is created by realizing that pot isnt as super harmful as everyone says it is(it still affects your respiratory system to some degree, but less than cigs). Once people realize this they tend to branch off and try scripts/psychadelics/stimulants… it isnt CAUSED by the pot … it is caused by the LEGAL STATUS of the pot and those other substances.

Marijuana is one of the highest scheduled drugs in america, Right up there with meth cocaine and ecstacy. Yet it has none, count them none, of the ill effects that others in its schedule have.

End prohibition, start selling an ounce of gov’t grass(yes the US grows tons of it) for 200$ in tobacco or alcohol stores or even gas stations and grocery store, this is the answer to our countries money woes… and eases a great deal of stress for our legal system.

Statistics suggest that this campaign has had drastic positive results. Unlike the “Reefer Madness” propaganda against marijuana, this campaign does have some truth to it which may account for it’s reported degree of success. From personal experience I have watched several acquaintances and more than one relative turn into the tragedies depicted in the campaign. I’ve seen addicts pick at sores, suffer catastrophic medical problems, lose homes, lose kids, steal from their families and jobs, become extremely paranoid, and exhibit horrifically violent behavior. In our community at least five children under the age of two have been beaten to death by parents under the influence of meth.

We are America’s least populated state and not a day goes by that meth doesn’t account for some crime in the news. However, I know more people who have used meth “recreationally” and quit than I know who became hopelessly addicted. I also am aware of several who were “hopelessly” addicted and eventually quit and have gone on to achieve various levels of personal success. If I know this then you can be sure any kid over the age of 12 is aware of it too. Any anti-drug campaign that tries to say “try it once and you will die” is doomed to failure. Kids can spot a lie when they see it.

I also know more people who abuse alcohol to a suicidal degree than I know people who abuse any illegal drug. Although meth related crime makes the news daily, reported incidents involving alcohol (DUI, family violence, fatal accidents, property destruction, bar fights, robbery, murder, etc…) are far more frequent than all other drugs combined. No, a billboard has never cured a single addict but if these ads can make a kid think twice about trying meth even once then it’s worth it. I wonder why a similar campaign for alcohol and tobacco isn’t being used as well. I would be hard pressed to be able to tell a meth addict from a lung cancer patient or a life-long alcoholic apart in a lineup. In the end they all look like emaciated, waxy skinned, hollow-eyed, human shells.

This is absolutely ridiculous… As a recovering junkie I can say that people respond to truth. The war on drugs is failing miserably because the government is full of propagated bulls***.

what is meth? i know a lot of drugs and no one makes me like that
i think meth its another stupid thing made by stupid people (americans).

EUROPE ROCKS

they should make one that says
‘DON’T DO METH. FUCK DRUGS. JUST SMOKE POT AND BE A GOOD PERSON’.

Scaring people into believing you isn’t normal

but with religion it is

We should just kill all the people on drugs and tobacco and save ALOT of tax dollars.

ive smoked meth a fue times in my life
and im not a hectic junkie pulling of my skin and selling myself
its really not worth all the beat up
those are some really exadurated worst case scenarios
its just fucked if you use it habitually or have an unstable personality in the first place……

haha…i actually lol’ed at those…not because i’m a heartless asshole…but you think those will make kids not try it? yah right…I can do that to my face in photoshop anyday…L O L…It’s sad but true…kids who try it arent interested in things like ..’art’ i guess you could call it..they are fucked.

to cass,
not that it would be hard to find the recipe, but do you really think you should post the the ingredient list. when you seem to be opposed to it. seems kind of counter-productive…

Johnny says that talking to marijuana smokers is like talking to inanimate objects.

Johnny is either:
A) A Loser Drug-Addict (or ex-addict) of drugs OTHER than pot. But since he smoked pot too, he includes that in his blaming of who wrecked his life
B) A Preacher
or
C) A control freak neoconservative

If marijuana made people so lazy, how is it that within the course of 15 years, those “lazy” pot smokers got state-medical-legalization measures on ballots in 23 states, many of them passing. There are now over 1000 stores in California that sell marijuana over the counter.

There are books, rallies, concerts…. all organized by “lazy” pot smokers.

Johnny needs to look at who is REALLY the laziest people of all: The American Mainstream. The Morons who allowed BUSH to run this nation for 8 years, looking the other way during the torture, the money waste, the cronyism, the corruption.

Yes.. Sober American Mainstreamism… is a huge life destroyer.

Marijuana, by comparison, is relatively harmless.

Joey DeVilla…. LOL!!!!

you all need a chem lesson. methyl-amphetamine is not what propaganda says it is. methamphetamine hydrochloride(brand name desoxyn) is a legitimate medicine, it is used in the treatment of narcolepsy(which i have and i wouldn’t be awake right now if not for my desoxyn), ADHD, weight loss, and treatment resistant depression. your list of ingredients are misleading as most are only used once, then washed out in the final product so no trace remains. i understand that it can destroy lives, and i’m not saying its a wonder drug that we all should try, i’m just saying that bashing something without knowing the facts is ignorant and irresponsible. i hope this post inspires some of you to increase your knowledge instead of just flaming me.

first off, meth is a disgusting drug. second off, dont give them the fucking ingrediants to meth. why dont you tell them how to cook it up too. last thing anyone needs is to know how to make it or what goes in it. PLAIN STRAIGHT…………..DONT TOUCH THE DRUG!!!!SMOKE POT LIKE MOST OF CIVILATION DOES. IM HIGH RIGHT NOW AND IM FINE AND DANDY!!!

Here’s what I can tell you about these advertisements (they have them on tons of the billboards here in Billings, MT).

Since they started using these ads in 2005 Montana has dropped from #5 in meth usage to #35. Not bad in 4 years…

That old man clearly has an erection in that photo. Dirty old bastard.

how much is normal for sex

@Arcturus:

“Amphetamines are fantastic. They help provide me with the energy I need to overcome the great physical strain that my highly specialized profession demands of me.”

Your physically straining ‘highly specialized profession’: Rent boy?

Its disheartening to see so many people grouping Meth in the same category at MDMA (ecstasy for those who don’t know). Methamphetamine is FAR more addicting physiologically than 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine and what it does to the brain is very different. Methamphetamine is akin to a stimulant, for those of you who haven’t tried it, think taking a handful of caffeine pills at once and washing it down with six or seven red bulls. Besides this energizing effect, Meth just makes you want more…you don’t even really know why you want more because it doesn’t necessarily make you feel good, you just want it, all the time, no matter the cost. Ecstasy on the other hand, while it does elevate heart rate and blood pressure, is actually a muscle relaxant. It also effects seratonin reuptake, think of it as an antidepressant that is ten times better than zoloft. It increases sensitivity to light, touch, sound and even taste and smell, and i’ve yet to meet someone who’s had a “bad trip” on MDMA. The only related deaths to ecstasy are due to dehydration, not because ecstasy dehydrates you, but because you tend to lose a sense of your own physicality, which makes dancing for five hours straight without water a stupid decision. The most dangerous thing about ecstasy is the same for most drugs, because it is scheduled and thus illegal, it is often mixed with other chemicals before pressed into a pill, instead of the pure crystalline MDMA. And perhaps the biggest difference between the two is that I have never, EVER, in my 8 years as a recreational drug user, met someone who was addicted to MDMA. I feel like a lot of people here haven’t done their homework, and those who have seemed to only have researched biased websites. Is legalized MDMA desirable? that is for everyone to decide for themselves, but research the truth first, read pro and anti websites and form your own conclusions based on the information given. Is MDMA as addicting and thus potentially harmful as Meth? The answer to that is unquestionably NO. So stop grouping them together.

Right, is this the drug methadone or methalated spirits? Both are a serious problem, but this takes it too far and ends up making it a pastiche of itself and hence unreal and innefective.

Methadone I dont know what it is, but Methalated spirits are anything with Methanol in, not what Cass said. They may be examples, but it is anything with Methanol in.

Actually, check that, no, hardly any of those are ‘meth’. Battry acid? Lithium? F*****g Sodium? thats in salt! Sodium is not meth!

Drugs that change the way you feel are dumb. Drugs that change what you see are awesome. Don’t shoot up, just drop a tab.

I’m from eastern Europe, from a small town and all this is pretty distant to me as here you cant by hard drugs (meth, cocaine, heroin, etc) BUT you can by all kind of other stuff like glue, anesthetics, pot, “mushrooms” (from the woods), legal highs, alcohol etc. and people do drugs. My point is, no mater what people will use drugs and making it illegal makes the case worse, why?, because kids will eat mushrooms from the woods, buy glue (bad quality glue) from hardware store. How about doing all this in a more civilized way because people will do it anyway…

@Uhu

Bad quality glue? I always give my little brother the best quality glue money can buy! I ‘ve warned him about sniffing those “bad quality” glues a million times.

HAHAHAHAHA. Oh God. Wow.

Stop believing these stupid propaganda advertisements. ADVERTISING is, like, 10x worse than meth will ever be.

They did the same shit for weed 30 years ago. You will see. Our children will laugh at us for being afraid of this stuff.

Learn to accept ! Stop being ignorant.

lol i agree with you melee. shk is retarded. meth is a vile drug. people HAVE and DO do the things in these ads.

how could anyone be pro meth when people are out there stealing and harming just to get it?

it’s disgusting.

drugs like this are for weak and stupid people.

All of you people that aren’t afraid of meth should have your head examined. You don’t even have to be the person addicted for it to effect your life. All those “pictures” of the people with “meth face” that shit is real and I have seen it with my own eyes. You people need to open yours!

ATTN: It is not the responsibility of you or the government or fucking anyone to tell people what they can and can’t do in the privacy of their own homes if they are not harming ANYONE ELSE. You can harm yourself all you want, and frankly, I’m more than a little unnerved by the fact that everyone feels they need to play super-hero when it comes to hard drugs. If someone wants to throw their life away, it’s not your fucking problem and it’s not your fucking choice. Seriously, people need to stop censoring other people’s behaviors and learn to get past it. You’re doing nothing for society but hindering natural selection. Grow the fuck up and worry about yourself for a change.

Fabulous ads! Maybe this will make people stop and think prior to ruining their lives…

Not all drugs should be legalised only the ones that have proven to be not physicaly addictive. Like weed, shrooms, acid and such. You have control over your own life, people who get in trouble for doing drugs shouldn’t do them. I did and do weed, acid, shrooms, and salvia. I’m a student at an university, and my grades are fine, so some people just can’t handle drugs in their life, to bad for them, but let me enjoy my drugs in peace.

if you believe that shit sure blame it on the drug its not the person doing the drug right they have nothing to with it

Meth is just a stimulant. It’s like caffeine X1000, the reason people get “fucked up” on it is because people cut it to make more money. If it was legal, people wouldn’t have to share needles, stopping diseases from spreading, and with out the other, actually toxic chemicals used to cut it, it wouldn’t make people sick unless they took too much. But even if they did take too much, there would be less of a chance they would die, because someone would call 911 for them, without fear of being arrested for using it. The war on drugs is what is killing people, not drugs themselves.

@concerned citizen

It may be their choice to use hard drugs, but then when they are found half dead and put into a state funded program or prison, it’s my tax dollars that keep them alive, and at that point, it is my business to say that who ever uses meth is a fuck up, waste of air and so on and so on.

I used to be a meth addict and trust me, it’ll fuck up yur life. i thought just like everyone else “I’ll just do it once”. But man i was hooked o that shit from the first puff. I’ve had to get my face reconstructed because i got beaten almost to death over a bad drug deal. Had to get skin graphs all over my body because i peeled off my own skin. But i’m better now:) (thanks to the Caron Rehab Center of Texas) But seriously, dont ever even try it.

Meth = permanent brain damage due to toxicity (being the only widely used drug that I know of which causes physical damage to the brain).

In saying that:

Meth =/= insanity, apart from in /some/ people with predispositions to psychosis anyway.

Therefore:

Meth =/= Clawing at bugs under your skin, ‘n shit like that, being normal.

The problem with Meth is you can never recover from it. It permanently damages your mind and body and will never heal. If you’re addicted to Meth, your better off just doing it for life.

My husband is a former meth user, same as his parents, and they have never done any of these things, so I think you are grossly misinformed.

those bill boards ARE BULLSHIT…my girlfriend i turned out gets me @ least 30 bucks a blowjob…seriously. 15 bux cmon . ive been getting high for off and on for years and the stuff is like a home invasion or senseless drive by shooting not beating up your mom ll===shootup or shutup

the fact of the matter is people are always going to use drugs in our society whether we like it or not. Everyone has their vices, so i think punishing people (i.e. imprisoning) for personal use is wrong. However, in the case of selling large amounts of hard drugs, etc. those individuals should be punished.

I believe that the fact meth has become such a problem in places like montana is because there is nothing else to goddamn do in the fucking backwoods asshole of america. if we had some sort of other distraction from the monotony of small town life, even something small like a teen center that has pool, foosball, other sports, etc would make a difference. As a long time potsmoker from a small town, i can honestly say my habit would not have exploded had there been something else to do other than driving around smoking blunts.

Well, this has been an extremely entertaining bunch of comments I have been reading and to all you people who say meth is awful and does many bad things to people, … you are right HoWEVER, people have different chemical make ups and respond differently to the drug. I must say i agree with alot of the people against the drug, because I know a lot of Meth users and they’re mostly people I want nothing to do with. However , I am a daily meth user and I’m about as kind hearted as a person can be. I have a great job working at a drug rehab facility but my most important job is raising my precious 2.5 yr old little girl. She is my life and while I in no way want her to ever be exposed to it, I dont think I’d have the energy and ambition I have on the drug to be able to keep up my role as a medical student, mother, and full time employee. It has never made me want to steal. My morals are all still there and I completely agree wirh 22 MrBurrows, 26 brandon james straight, 33 Alisha,14 Concerned Citizen , and tOAD . But the main downfall in my opinion is what dwiddle December 22, 2009 at 7:24 am said:
The problem with Meth is you can never recover from it. It permanently damages your mind and body and will never heal. If you’re addicted to Meth, your better off just doing it for life.
But since it’s illegal, it screws up many peoples life’s only because they got caught by the law and now they have a record so they’ll just be in a deeper hole feeling helpless like they won’t ever be able to crawl out of it& move on & up in their lives. Those people on meth that pull their own organs out, think bugs are under their skin, pick, steal, murder, etc. obviously had something wrong with themself mentally to begin with. Its a rare person who’s able to function like normal as a meth user, but there are some. So… dont stereo type just cuz your chem bal couldnt handle it or your mind was too week to keep your morals and sanity in order.

sorry about my spelling… I meant washed away in a tsunami of extreme addiction! the decision to not take more drugs is a decision that must continuously be made… you can do it.

Don’t blame Meth or any drugs like cocaine for fucking up your life! It helps me appreciate and sympathize people more. But i still go to school and get good grades. Don’t blame the substance just because you’re too weak to use it in a more civilized way. BE A SMART USER AND TAKE CONTROL OF THE CHEMICAL, RATHER THAN THE CHEMICAL CONTROLLING YOU! It’s dumb right? Have faith in God and appreciate people more will help drug addict to lead a path of righteousness. Bless all those victims of drug addict and also You might else well commit suicide dumb druggies rather than robbing and killing 80 year old man with a good heart! Die!

A drug is a drug, be it Alcohol, Marijuana, or Meth. BUT more importantly to this topic, an ADDICT is an ADDICT. I believe that people that would do the things that are described in these anti-drug ads, like mugging, robbing, beating people, selling your body, and hurting (physically or emotionally) your family and your friends probably would have ended up in the same places doing those same things no matter which of MANY addictive drugs is your drug of choice. I also believe, along with *my 2cents med student* that people that do those things ALREADY have the capicity to commit those crimes, maybe they had harmed themselves or others before, or maybe the addiction was the catalyst providing the need and perhaps desperation required. Either way, in any random sitution that could of presented itself, that person was probably completely capable of doing the same if it was nessacary. Everyone has a rock bottom, and everyones is different. And people who would get addicted to Meth would probably become addicted to a different drug if Meth didn’t exsist, or they just never came into contact with it. I don’t think it matters if its legal or illegal. Look at alcohol. Look at an alcoholic, all the awful things they do to the people in their lives. But, not everyone that drinks is an alcoholic. Not everyone that uses meth will become an addict. Same is true of EVERY drug out there. It really depends on the person! Personally, I’ve never tried Meth, I’ve tried just about EVERYTHING else out there though. I have no desire to do meth, and I generally don’t associate with people who do. I just believe that everyone should have the right to try what they want and do what they want, but the have the responability then not to let it become a problem, not to let it drive them to extremes, not to let it hurt them or other people. Not to become an addict. If you have an addictive personality you should probably just stay away from drugs in general.

I would just like everyone to stop for a second and realize that we give this crap to OUR KIDS (yes, little kids) to control their ‘Attention Deficit’ problems. No, it’s not the same junk cooked up at home but ADHD medications are amphetamines and dextroamphetamines, while meth is methamphetamine. It’s all speed, and it’s all bad for you. It will all cause real problems for long-term consumers and there is no good side. Anywhere. Yes, there are short term benefits to medicating children but long term, they suffer for it, just like most behavior modifiers cause their users to suffer long term (especially without the drug). You don’t have to agree, but do some research and think before consuming this awful substance or giving some version of it to your children. It’s not all propaganda, it really does steal souls and turn people awful colors like green and yellow.

@nate&citizen

nate i am def on your side. its our money that keeps them alive when they are put into community houses and shit.

its not “their life, let them do that they want” its way more than that.
I have grown up my whole life dealing with a mother who has done everything and in the end became addicted to meth. it wasnt until i was even 13 that i started to piece the puzzle together and realize what was REALLY going on behind closed doors in my own home. the funny smells, the locking of the doors. the no answer when i knocked. taking care of a toddler when your only 11-12 years old. it all pieced together and it has truly effected me. it doesnt JUST effected the person who DOES it. it effects EVERY innocent person around them. especially the ones that love(d) them. its not right. meth is the devil. i dont think i could even explain how hurtful it is to not of had a mother. i know im not the only one. but it happens to people all the time. and i feel terrible for every single one of them. its a constant struggle and sense ive been hurt by it in my life it effects me and how i do things in my life now. and they are not beneficial. so screw all you people who dont know what the hell you are talking about. i feel sorry for you. i hope you think twice before you ever do it or do it again. its not just “caffeine” x10000000000. its DEATH.

have fun methys

If any of you would be intrested in a answer for the drug “problem” in america today check out l.e.a.p. .com

In response to badfish…weed isn’t a drug, it’s a plant, a miracle plant at that. Meth is a drug. Smoking weed is great, just not when you turn into another loser over it.
Gonna be honest, don’t see much of meth around these parts but there’s a lot of cocaine around. It’s just as bad really.

“All the scenarios shown in the billboards would not have happened if meth was legal”
How do you have the balls to state something like that? It’s statements like that which screw the “legalize drug” thing for the sane people that are trying to advocate it. So, does that extrapolate to “since alcohol is legal there are no problems with it.”? Legalization isn’t a cure-all, just a step in the right direction.

/b/ye now.

i like the one about the guy pimping out his gf…shes hot 🙂
Meth is fucked tho for real. feel like breaking bad glamorizes the production process. I’d like to see it legalized so all the fucked up meth junkies will try to produce it and blow there pitted faces off. that’s not happening when i grow a few dope clones naaahh saying.
-in conclusion-
if it’s organic = don’t panic

You can’t say something like that. Either legalize it all or legalize none. Don’t be a hypocrite.

Yes… check out LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition). To people who think that meth should never be legal, I agree. Pharmaceutical corporations should not be permitted to manufacture pseudoephedrine and *poof* meth disappears forever.

Although this seems like a commendable campaign I cannot support anything that creates such fear-mongering. Crystal Meth wouldn’t have half as much infamy if they made it legal for three reasons, 1 people could be properly educated about it, teenagers wouldn’t go to the underpass to take it and end up fucked up, they could do it with their parents who could regulate it and help them if they get in trouble. 2 the quality of the product would massively increase reducing the amount of fatalities and injuries (including skin destruction as seen above) meaning it would be safer to take it. And 3 making drugs legal makes them boring! Portugal has recently legalised ALL drugs and consumption rates have fallen dramatically. When people have the choice to do it or not people generally do the smart thing. Making them illegal, taboo and spreading fear messages like this is not helping the issue at all. I would bet my life that since these were released Meth consumption hasn’t flinched. I blame America.

agreed with Ian. lol.

Don’t go to l.e.a.p.com- my virus protection detected a threat on this page.

Most of the Meth in the US is not produced by addicts in their bathrooms using sudafed… it’s made in superlabs in Mexico and other places in Central America and then smuggled in… That’s where law enforcement should be focusing their efforts, not the one -time junkie making a batch in his closet!

Shocker. Even if the ads are exaggerated, its still a fucked up drug.

Stick to ya weed, at least ya know what your dealing with …. to a certain extent.

i smoke weed on daily basis and i did tweak once on accident because someone bought it for me and thought it was X because the meth was compressed into pill form. It was really fun but i would NEVER EVER do that shit again. I cant understand why people would get the urge to keep getting completely tweaked out their minds even though the high was somewhat enjoyable. It felt as tho i was losing my mind while on the drug. I was talking/seeing people in my friends room that i had left hours earlier. Tome i found this to be quite creepy when i reflected on my night the morning after. I am also an avid animal lover and it struck me funny how my friends dog who loves me wouldn’t even dare stay in the same room as me while on meth. Another thing that struck me strange was that i was horrible at illustrating and any form of art while i was on crystal. This is quite shocking because i am an artist and much of my work is displayed in local museums.
I no that the drug i took that night was meth because it did not affect me the same way was exstacy normally does. I would no what E feels like since i am an avid raver. I would never spend my money on tweak and i hope that the numbers of those victim and enslaved to this drug lower significantly because this experience was very shocking, insightful and down right scary.

Meth can be a destroyer when the chemicals are mixed with other substances or improperly made, or the use is not regulated very carefully. But how can that be done? Well first off the number one abused substance in america is pharmaceutical drugs.
Open your eyes!!!!! the government has already made meth legal…..
Adderall – amphetamine salt racemic amphetamine aspartate monohydrate, racemic amphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetamine saccharide and “dextroamphetamine” sulfate, which is thought to work by increasing the amount of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain
Methylphenidate – increases the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain through reuptake inhibition of the monoamine transporters.
Methamphetamine- increases the levels of dopamine and norephinephrine in the brain. find a commonality? they are all classified as psychostimulant drugs. so why is it that this drug is so readily related to all these negative stereo types? well because it’s the truth to a degree but it is also the truth that ritalin user and adderal users have expereinced bug and shadow people, but did they ever have to suck a person dick to get it? of course not because the government gave it to them or it was more readily available.
Is the solution for METH AMPHETAMINE to be legalized? honestly there is no question that it already is. but the real question is how we stop these, (excuse the vulgarity) fucked up behaviors?
Truth:
We don’t and we can’t, there is no solution.
All people can do is hope to help the individual and become humane in there views. This is not to say turn the other cheek but become actively involved with the machine of our government. Not look from a distance and judge others for there plights or say how messed up things are. If you aren’t part of the solution you too are part of the problem
I now live in Boston but I lived in San Diego for a good portion of my life and I saw the desctruction caused from meth so don’t take these words as a judgement of either sides the way things are are complex in making a true change but it’s simple to define from a healthy skepticism.
The truth is that all three of these drugs are highly addictive the only difference of meth is that it is not mass produced and legal.

I am studying to become a psychiatrist and it’s important to review both sides to the situation. before just jumping to the conclusion that meth users are “fucked” and the government is to blame. Change your thinking and change others and then we will all come to find the truth and change our humanity for the better.

i have been using shard for about 16 years and i cant complain i am a successful business man i have a beutiful wife and we are happy so i think the ads are a bunch of fucking lies remember you use the drug dont let the drug use you also ghb is sooooooo fun in bed with your lover

Check out Portugal’s recent shift in their drug policy and the effect it’s having on drug rates. No wonder the U.S. media is ignoring the story. Legalize all.

http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1893946,00.html

As someone who is from Montana, and drives by these bilboards on the way to school every day, I don’t really find them that shocking anymore. Sure, when they first started popping up, they held some meaning, but now they’ve just become part of the background. (These are less than half of the different adds around the state, also. Check out the commcercials sometime, they have had a similar run.)

this is the first time i’ve seen these before and personally myself i’ve been addicted to meth for about a year and i’m finally clean… its only been a week and i know there is some really hard times to come but all of the billboards are right, i ended up doing things i could never dream of doing to myself and other people. meth will cause nothing but trouble and pain. anyone out there reading those and thinks otherwise is nothing but a fool who hasent seen how much it affects you and your family/friends. if i can do it anyone can just stay strong and keep telling yourself your better off without it…i hope this reaches EVERYONE in the world and people re think doing meth. i’m so glad people are out there trying to help not only myself and other people in need! you have my support %100 keep up the amazing work!!!!!!!

If you’re defending meth on this comment feed, then go smoke it, inject it, drink it, whatever, and go turn into a zombie and we’ll let you disappear from earth for being of lesser intelligence

and i for one dont wanna pay for drugs im not using, whos with me

Meth aint the real problem its heroine…its junkies…they are evrywhere…and fuckin hell yeah ,,,i tried em all n the only thing im still doin and lovin it is weed..so just fly high n stop bein dependent on sum shit chemical just to be normal..

I’m just putting this out there for the people who say they do ice, meth and that they are happy or all good. Lies. tell yourself what you want to feel better about how fucked up your life is. I was addicted to ice from the age of 18 to 21 and it was the lowest, worst part of my life. That shit devours your soul daily making you forget about what is actually important in life like family friends and taking care of your damn body. i never fucked for dope or anything like that but i was willing to compromise my values and ideals just to be near some shit. it consumes you mind body and spirit. just to give you a better picture of who i was, i was working as a cocktail waitress at a casino i wasn’t just some random crackhead. i smoked one time and fell in love. im 25 now and have never looked back. that last time i couldn’t even get high…….you are chasing a dragon you will never catch. no one will ever get as high as that first time..thats how it gets you. i’ve seen people be a victim of this drug for their entire life so it infuriates me for some to act like you can live a normal life on this shit. you can’t and you aren’t fooling anyone. the chemicals eat your brain cells. and all the while i thought i looked good, i was really a shell of my former self, no tits or ass, wasted away to 90lbs. it makes me laugh now b/c people are so shocked when i tell them i use to be a geeker, but i’m glad b/c it made me a stronger smarter person through perseverance. btw i like that adds. dramatic but thats actually how we used to look. and yeah for those on dope…the shadow people only get worse, the dope is always full of cut, that shit really does fuck up your teeth, dope man is always taking advantage, and ITS REALLY VERY EASY TO GET OFF. a little self control goes a long way. go somewhere different..get away from those ppl

Addicts with your personal stories: fantastic. You were not able to use a drug responsibly, and now you vilify the drug instead of yourself. I’m sorry, but there are a good amount of us out there that have and will continue to incorporate chemicals into our lives. Just because you couldn’t handle the simple decision of not re-dosing at 5AM doesn’t mean that I can’t.

Honestly, it’s all about cognitive freedom. Oh, and the sister and the girlfriend in the meth ads are the same girl. :3

I think drugs are a HUGE reality in the U.S. We are spending 20 billion dollars a year in the federal government alone to try and fight them. And yet some how they are in our schools, our neighborhoods-even our own houses. So doesn’t that mean we are doing something wrong? Meth is wrong. It’s cheap because somebody in their house who doesn’t give a crap about you cooked it up so they could sell you their insanity. But does it make anything better to post depressing billboards every where, to install paranoia where fear isn’t going to help. If you are going to do Meth, some shitty poster isn’t going to help. These posters make me sick. These are our friends and family being addicted, not just crazy random strangers who take one hit of meth and become insane and unreachable. Focus on helping people, not alienating them. The same posters have been posted on less harmful substances, with the same dramatization. Meth really is this bad, but it can seem harmless. I’m not saying that these posters don’t have a place, or that they aren’t true. Every drug can be evil, if you let it. But posting them along high ways and on buildings isn’t what’s going to help.

For those who say that the pictures are over exagerating are so very wrong. There are even worse things happening. For those who dont think so keep at it and you too will be able to make your own poster. I’m kinda of glad for those who think its exagerating since that means they still have hope. Unfortunately not much hope if they feel that its not really that bad. I’m here to tell you IT IS! It never starts out that way but before you know it you to are the person whom you would have hated in the past. I guess all I really want people to now is that it is that bad and it can happen to you as long as you beleive that you have a fighting chance. For those who dont feel that way I guess I will see you all on the other side.

Imagine how completely evil that Meth is…they took the time and the money to post graphic material regarding the worst of the worst for the public to see on the highways – and “public” includes innocent little kids that haven’t been tainted by this world yet. Do we want 7 year olds seeing this stuff? Well, yes, because IT’S THAT BAD.

This is no joke. If you think you can use drugs and maintain control, that is part of the addictive nature of the drug. Get help now! Pick up the phone or go to the nearest church, hospital, family member, whatever, right frigging now and get help! All drug use starts with “recreational” use. You think people plan on becoming zombie slaves, giving up their spouses, children, houses, cars, etc? Addiction is insidious, cunning, powerful. Don’t you ever forget that…do not be fooled. I am writing the truth, I swear it.

And by the way, you need to ask yourself, why am I using drugs in the first place? To escape from what? Reality? What’s wrong with reality? If you don’t like your reality, then persevere to change it! It starts with learning to love and respect yourself.

I know this might look like a lecture, but I’m only trying to help. Good luck!

Legalize meth!

Yes, you are right. It is the person. It is a person with an addictive gene (yes, it does exist) that do it once and it causes such a reaction (almost exactly like an allergic reaction) that their brain gives them no choice but to do it again, and again.
There are two kinds of brains… An addict brain, and a non-addict brain. Yes, normal people are able to use drugs recreationally, and only do them every once in a while. They are even able to do the drugs for an extended amount
of time and just quit one day.
BUT, in an addict, their brain won’t allow them to stop (by themselves at least). Let’s say you are allergic to peanuts, after you eat a PB & J, try not to break out in hives, try harder not to have your bronchioles narrow to the point where air cannot reach your alveoli, try your very best to stay alive while you are in the midst of anaphylactic shock. So the point is…. METH – Not even once.

Meth is stupid, and, equally so, people who call for its legalization are woefully ignorant. Other drugs, drugs which have a lot more history of usage, including positive use, need to be legalized. With access to marijuana, psychedelics, etc there is no need for meth. Meth is a product of the drug war and not one worth keeping. So don’t think when you say things like ‘legalize meth’ you’re being progressive and freedom loving. Meth is a curse, it brings its victims down to levels lower than they ever imagined and it keeps them there. This is not what drug use should be about.

Here’s the thing about drugs. People should be allowed to put what ever they want in their own bodies, however dangerous the chemical. I think every single drug should be legal, just don’t expect society to support you and don’t blame other people for your problem. If you chose to take the stupid chance and gammbel with these chemicals, what ever, you should be allowed, but just know you are most likely throwing your life away.

this is coming from a very experienced person.. MYSELF ..living in the grip of active addiction I almost died 3 times, took another human being’s life and treated my entire family.kids, mom, dad, granparents as if they meant nothing to me.It didnt matter who, if they were in between me and what I needed to get what I wanted well lets .say it never ended on a good note.
I stayed in that insanity for 23yrs from 14 to 38yrs of age. If someone told me then that there was a REMOTE POSSIBILITY of any trying it “just one time” that my life and the lives of all harmed from my using would end up the way ANY ADDICTS LIFE will turn out Jails, Institions, And DEATH. I NEVER would have tried “that first time” . Today I’ve been off the dope for 2 yrs and it has been the best 2 yrs of my life. So I say if you’ve never tried it DON”T It will kill you slowly or fast if your lucky .those slow kills are very painful I watched it happen!!!!

youre forgetting 4) the trolls
everyone knows meth will fucking ruin your life. you don’t need a foray into addictive substance abuse to recognize that, but if you sincerely don’t think so then in 100% seriousness your opinion is wrong, sure that sounds abrupt but sorry it’s true. maybe if we were talking coke or something there is some ambiguity and it can be more of a person to person basis, but meth is unanimously not a good call.

I don’t use meth, but I support legalization. Not because these ads are exaggerating, in fact they’re rather on point. The average remaining lifespan after one starts using meth habitually is 2 years. I support the legalization because it is PROVEN FACT that prohibition of drugs does more harm than the drugs themselves. If meth was legalized, the usage would undoubtedly be less, one the “forbidden fruit” aspect is taken away. Also, there won’t be people having sex for 15 dollars to buy meth. Because you won’t have to rely on buying from gang members who cook it up in their apartment.
The simple fact is, hard drugs aren’t going away any time soon. And as prohibition in the twenties and the modern war on drugs has shown, usage and violent crime related to the drugs skyrockets when it is illegal. It also allows for the rise of criminal syndicates. People want these drugs. And they will get them any way they can. Is it not simply better that they get it from a government regulated dispensary?

hilarrrrrrrioussssssssssssssssssssssss

meth is fucking stupid i smoke weed and take pills every now and then but had my time were i did x and meth yeah it was fun but stupid really stupid so shut the fuck up meth is the worst fuck meth heads ill kick your ass you no teeth ugly looking mother fuckers..

Yeah, so many people had said that doing it once in a while wasn’t the worst, and my ex was doing meth almost daily…she got me to try it and I ended up doing it for 2 months (thank god not any longer) but it makes you really frail and sickly looking, not to mention it’s really bad for you, and being stabbed would be more pleasant then withdraws and sketching…stick to weed 🙂

Meth should never be legalized, if you think so I suggest you do your homework

I find with all drugs as long as they don’t control you it’s fine. But obviously meth, heroin ect are harder to control so you should not try it but if people act out of control because of a drug you should not blame the drug but the person. Some people can take meth and still be great people.

Whether Meth is legal or not, all of these consequences, both to one’s personal self and to society, will occur. Since Meth changes brain chemistry so fast, lowering tolerance for the drug and thus forcing the user to more of it, in more concentrated forms, more often, the user will keep searching for a better, more “cut”, product. Legalization and controlled production will not be able to supply the addicted user with what they need in the amounts that they require to constantly chase their high. And even with distribution control, there will still be people making their own at home (more concentrated forms, flavored meth, etc.) which could be cheaper to them (if they’re a user) and/or allow them to make a lot of money (if they’re just a cook/dealer). Young teen users without money will still sell their body for money for their meth, and users will still steal from their family and anyone, just to get enough money to buy it (whether it’s from a legalized distributor or not). There is no way to control this drug’s use once you’re addicted, and even before that, how can you really tell you will or won’t become addicted. Is it worth the risk?

For all those who say “FREEDOM! These addicts can do whatever they want to themselves,” Meth is a drug that doesn’t just affect the user, it affects everyone. Meth addicts steal, damage property, kill, ignore their family (children included), and don’t contribute to a productive society. They may even steal your computer one day or set your house on fire out of paranoia.

It should be legal, or people get it from shitty places which are not pure and some even dont have the substance in it…

So this is weird, some of the comments I have read totally shock me. I didn’t know that there were people who actually think it should be legalized. I understand the “Forbidden Fruit” idea since humans are curious and suggestible, but I hope most people realize what meth is. Would you break open a battery and smoke it’s contents? Would you sprinkle a little rat poison over your tobacco and smoke it? The answer is more than likely no. So what’s the point in trying meth? If you wouldn’t do those things then why even consider it? It confuses me.
I totally support these ads and think its a good idea, but I think it’s a good idea for any non natural drugs. Legalize it? That’s a little too much for me, but if your dumb enough to try it and not care about getting out of it then who needs you? Sorry to sound harsh but meth has only brought people into doing some insane crimes, so I don’t think it should be legalized because if you get caught with it, then you have a better chance in changing your life in jail then ruining your body, family and life forever.
Congratulations on those who have come of of it and not done it at all!

For meth, heroin, chocolate, coffee or anything, it’s never about the product itself but about the user’s relation to the product.
Products are just variably difficult to handle in relation to people’s behavior with it and excess is always leading to problems (with everything)
Legalizing it would be very dangerous, but prohibiting it is way more dangerous because by prohibiting you totally lose control on it : it becomes dark and opaque and you end up with things like black market and all the drama associated (quality, ascension to other products etc…)

The real problem is about education and information…

If you think that you can do meth occasionally and recreationally and not lose control you’ve already lost control. These adds are despicable and way too much. I wasn’t even concentrated on the meth aspect of the adds, the whole point of this unbelievable content. Im 18 never used meth and think that these adds don’t send a message, they attempt to instill fear, don’t do meth and stop making these adds.

Le Reddit armie has arrived, armed with meth, weed and other dangerous narcotics!
