Drug addicts all seem to develop specific physical and habitual characteristics as they spiral down into the hole of addition; Meth addicts seem to show these traits in an especially ugly form! I believe knowledge is power, I may dedicate my life towards my passion but I also try to educate myself about those who dedicate theirs towards self-destruction. Why? If you don’t know how bad things can become, they you cannot fully appreciate the gift of not living that type of life can be!
What is Meth?
Meth is a nervous system stimulant which gives its users an instant rush of energy, they feel like they are 10ft tall and can do anything. It is also goes by the name “ice”, “crystal” and “glass” for its smokable forms while the pill forms go by “billy whizz”, “speed”, “sulphate”, “fast”, “uppers”, “powder” and “crank”. It is made up of mix of commonly available, hazardous chemicals, as such it can be mass produced relatively easily and requires no importation such as other hard drugs.
How is Meth taken?
Meth can be taken in various forms such as powder, pill, injectables and I am sure there are other creative ways addicts have found in order to receive a high from this awful drug.
Why do people take Meth?
When the dangerous mix of peer pressure, low self-esteem and easy availability come together, the perfect storm begins. I can easily say that these are the same pressures that create many other types of addicts from nicotine to alcoholics.
What happens after a user stops use?
Well, the reason they took the drugs was to feel 10ft tall, once off, they receive the opposite effect and feel like they belong 6ft under. With prolonged use, Meth addicts become extremely paranoid and develop a host of traits that would make a schizophrenic appear normal. Like other drugs, there is also an adaptation that the body does to cope, meaning more regular and higher doses are required to achieve the same effect.
What do meth addicts look like?
These aren’t pretty pictures, it shows you what drugs can do to you in their extremes. Note that cigarettes and alcohol have the same effects but they are to a lesser extreme and more internalized.
Governments “War on Drugs” commercials: The Montana Meth Project Ads
I may be wrong, but I believe these commercials where actually produced by a concerned individual who had enough with seeing the government do little in the face of the Meth epidemic that was happening in his city. Hopefully these scare the shit out of you… if they don’t, you have deeper problems.
The ugly physical effects of Meth
Like other hard drugs, Meth has a profound effect on the physical body. As the substance is completely toxic to the body, it tries to excrete these substances through the skin’s pores, which tend to get infected. This specific trait seems to be specific to Meth users. In addition, many Meth users end up with mouths that would make even the local dentist freak-out! The internal organs are also taxed beyond recovery most of the time with prolonged use, which means that you don’t only age much faster, but you are really screwing yourself internally as well. Any type of drug use leads to malnutrition, lack of exercise and the usual culprits that don’t have any positive impact on living a long, healthy life.
The Bottom Line
Drugs, of any kind, produce nothing of any positive value to a life.

Imagine just being able to breath normally for your medical treatments instead of popping pills or stabbing yourself, the NSI Pulmonary Drug Delivery Device promises just that.
Paraphrasing what Maya Angelou said during an appearance on the Opera Winfrey show “my breasts seem to be in a race to reach my knees”. It’s no secret, age, gravity and motherhood all take their toll on womans breasts. Well, a company in Israel has had enough and developed a solution that requires relatively minimal surgical intervention.
Next time you commit a crime, be sure to take your gravol! You are being warned, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has invested and created the first light (from a flashlight) that is designed to make you barf! No longer will the police say “put your hands up”, they will simply slide a bucket over and flash this light in your eyes until you surrender.
After being driven in a hydrofoil jet-boat across the Japan sea just under a week ago, it made me really develop in interest again in the high-seas after being sick on them just over a month ago on the Great Barrier Reef. The speed is incredible and there isn’t the motion sickness even during very rough seas you get on, say, a catamaran.
Much like alcohol, the substances in cola acts as fantastic leaching agents throughout the body. Cola such as Pepsi and Coke, should only be given to the drain.
Outdoor grills have evolved quite a bit from the days we had to use a stick over a raging fire to have a cooked meal. Take the Onfalos for instance.
I find it ironic that people in the “modern, industrialized world” are dying from overconsumption of food while in Africa, they are dying from underconsumption. We are suffering from exponential obesity, diabetes and cardio-vascular conditions (from not being active enough) rates in our populations while in Africa, the biggest problem malnutrition, HIV Disease and catabolizing (from being too active). We worry about deserts while they simply want to eat something.
Sexual health is as important as proper diet and exercise regimen, as such, Trojan Vibrating Rings has been unleashed upon the marketplace.
Looks like Mannatech is at it again, this time, revolutionizing water!
Every few months it seems a company proclaims to have invented a product that will change the way everybody in the world does something regarding food acquisition. Gone are the days when a revolution was stumbling on an exotic animal while out hunting or seeing some berries different kind of berries.
Every once in a while, you see a product that makes you think… now, why didn’t I think of that! This is such a product at least to me. Well, it’s what is referred to as a carpet alarm!
There are few tests that cause so much debate as the 60 second HIV test. Gone are the days when you need to wait weeks to find out IF you have acquired HIV Disease and I believe this is a good thing.
What happens when chopsticks dates a spoon? Well, the kid ends up becoming a Froggetmee. Chopsticks are actually very easy to use once you get the hang of it, they are a eating utensil that has distinct advantages over the western spoon, fork and knife routine. They are easier to clean, easier to eat with (even rice) and far cheaper. The disadvantages of chopsticks is that unless you enjoy slurping your food, forget about soup or foods laden with sauce. The favorite of camping enthusiasts, the spork has been on the marketplace since the wheel was invented, I suspect that it’s the same with the froggetmee… the only difference is somebody finally decided to make a business out of them.
I wish I got a dollar for every new product that was released on the marketplace that was a scam because I would be a millionaire many times over by now. The latest fad out there hitting UK streets is called Serum No. 7, great marketing name but a scam no less.
This past Friday, the FDA has approved yet another over-the-counter weight loss pill that promises weight loss to the legions of self-diagnosed slow metabolites eating at fast food joints around the world. It’s called Orlistat, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.
I wish they had these blow up water parks when I was a kid, sure beats having a plastic kiddy pool hooked up to a garden hose!
I, like may children of my Generation Xs, grew up eating cereal in the morning. Now that I know a few things about nutrition, although my parents had good intention, they where essentially feeding us junk food before a busy day.
I have used Oral-B electric toothbrushes for years now along with a waterjet irrigator that lasts but a few months a pop due to the salt I add to the water to kill bacteria. After a session of these two, my mouth is as sterile as an operating room!
It has been a very open secret for years now that bodybuilders, wanting to make up for genetic deficiencies in their bodies sometimes resort to Synthol to literally pump up their muscles when cosmetic surgeries and implants don’t suffice.
