Meth. It does a body good.

Meth is SO bad in rural America.
Did you know that some call it Jenny Crank an alternative to Jenny Craig? Yea I didn't either. NUTS.

Sadly in this area if someone is losing weight it is more likely a result of methamphetamine than it is hard work and dedication.

No point to this thread other than to complain.

TiffanyEst85 · February 2014

I guess the good news is that even if these people are losing weight due to their (rather disgusting and repulsive) life choice of doing Meth... They are going the opposite direction of healthy. And since Healthy, rather than thin/skinny/slim, is my goal I can't complain. I will continue to work my body hard and they will continue to destroy theirs. In the end, I win. In the end, They'll die off much sooner.... and that might lead to a completely different discussion of natural selection lol. I will say that I hate being so close to it. I live less than a half hour away from the "meth capital of the world", and knowing I will someday have children-this scares me a bit.

I have heard of Jenny Crank and have used the phrase as well (but have not used meth). I know people from high school who are users and they are very skinny. 1 girl uses it for the fact she cant function without it and it makes her skinny. Prob because she doesnt eat or sleep and in constantly tweaking out running around doing weird stuff.

Oftentimes doing drugs is more about having made a mistake and getting trapped in it, rather than a disgusting and repulsive life choice.

I want to be sure I am not taken out of context. My comment was in direct relation to the original post referring to people who use meth for the purpose of being skinny. I agree, drug use is often times ONE bad choice that leads to addiction. Addiction is a serious, dangerous, and sad thing. I wasn't making a joke about that, or the people that get trapped into it.

One answer from me

NEVER do drugs, it retard your brain

weightedfootsteps · February 2014

Meth: Rampid in rural towns!!

Teens tend to have nothing to keep them busy..nowhere to go to hang out except the town park...No indoor places for kids to go. It seems that all they do in rural towns is drugs, drink, pill pop, abuse each other, or cheat on the SO. Yeah..I'm tired of rural America. There are some amazingly friendly people..but those are mostly dying out with the newer generations.

GamerLady · February 2014

I've never been around anyone that does that. Do they just not eat? I don't understand.

seltzermint555 · February 2014

As someone who lives in a region with lots of meth use, I feel like most of the time I can spot meth weight loss a mile away vs. healthy weight loss.

Seriously...I've commented to friends about someone we went to school with being on meth and they're like, "OH NO, not Leah, her dad's a doctor! She's married with 2 kids" ...and then see her obituary or facebook photos of her with 2 missing teeth and friends from rehab.

So yeah

judging someone because they do one of the "disgusting/not totally cool" ones is not something I am into basically

Isn't meth done by cooking together a number of ingredients, most of them from hardware stores and bearing skulls and crossbones, and then smoking or injecting the end result?

Because if so, does that strike you as a reasonable thing to do?

ETA: I'll grant that nothing guarantees the purity of a dime bag or tab either, but at least those things CAN be benign. There's no way meth could be.

Because meth mouth is soooooo sexy. :huh:

Seriously, what would be a "cool" drug out there to do?

There are no "positive drugs". Yeah yeah. Legalize marijuana because yes, it helps people with cancer and other illnesses but it's still a drug. Making something legal doesn't automatically make it "positive".

a_stronger_me13 · February 2014

Where are the Breaking Bad gifs?!

Jefferson County, MO claimed the #1 meth county in the country a few years ago. I live next to my grandparents farm in a typical middle class rural area... with a meth lab right down the street. I think most of the ones in the county were in some of the huge gated communities surprisingly. Although, I've heard in the Midwest there has been a big transition to heroin.

MB_Positif · February 2014

Pretty much. I've done it. It and all of its aftermath are ugly. I was 40 pounds lighter than I am now. I was also young and stupid.

calibriintx · February 2014

Basically. Plus it's probably hard to eat when you lose all your teeth.

Really? I thought the mistake was getting trapped in a disgusting and repulsive life choice.

krawhitham · February 2014

My SO grew up in a rural area (population several hundred) and we really want to buy a house there to live part of the year (its gorgeous: mountains, rivers, lakes, fishing...) But he is worried about the increase of meth making/addicts.

We live in Oakland, CA now which is known pretty well for its crime, so we're quite good at locking everything up and making sure nothing is easily accessible to druggies, but I'm not sure I want to own a house that could be easily broken into when we're not there because a meth head decides they want to steal our rocking chair...

I suggested putting up an 8 foot fence... I'd build it myself :P

Or sometimes it is a perfectly understandable response to psychological pain.

People wonder how in the world someone can get caught up in methland but sometimes its just part of a party scene. I know people who use meth recreationaly and you'd be suprised as to who they are. Our football team in hs did bumps of coke before the game, and we were the state champs lol. I went to parties with the squeeky clean straight a jocks and popular kids and they would go in the bathroom and snort meth or coke, sometimes even doing heroin.

People put such a stigma as to what a methhead is or looks like, yet the neighbors in the gated community could be doing it. Aderral and phentermine are sooo abused for a reason, and instead of having to admit you are addicted to amphetamines, you get to pretty it up and say its your adhd or diet pills.

My sister lost 20 lbs in a week from doing meth, and also read about 5 800-page books in that week...I was 8 and just figured she was dieting because she'd never eat, and that she really liked books haha.

mikeroybal · February 2014

I don't judge people based on if/type of drugs used. I look at their actions. If I have to chase the same tweaker away from my car every morning befor going to the gym (calling the police in my town is useless) I'm going to judege that person as A-hole (and I know he is a tweaker because he is always coming in and out of a house that is known for selling meth, and he tries to hide from me behind a stop sign.

TiffanyEst85 · February 2014

this. lol.

knittnponder · February 2014

I had to live next door to a meth addict and his bat @%*( crazy wife so I will judge the heck out of meth users! His entire family was decimated by that crap, including his 16 year old nephew. The kid is now living under a bridge just trying to make it from fix to fix. The pot smoking/dealing neighbors we had before the meth addicts were way better! Definitely more mellow! Well, except for the shootout they had in our back yard.

wozkaa · February 2014

I'm in Australia, and Meth is making it's way through our cities and suburbs. It's certainly on the increase according to Hospital ER admissions according to friends who work in health.
I have a very good friend who has had it a few times at least, but then he takes almost anything - caught him huffing glue once.

A family member of mine got stuck into all sorts of exciting injectables when he was working in operating theatres (Anaesthetics) and realised nobody would look twice at an empty ampoule of Midazolam in his pocket. Culminated with his wife taking the kids and leaving him until he sorted himself out, because he was so wasted he forgot to hide his kit. He sorted himself out, thankfully, but he knows it's a never ending battle.

Nasty business.

Meth. It does a body good.
