Check It Out...
Don't say I never post anything serious...
Warning, Extremely Graphic
CLICK HERE to check out a series of graphic television advertisements depicting the true dark side of the drug.
I just want to say that I found this "news" on FadedYouth's site and I really think it's important to post. I would go into it but that is for another time. Needless to say I kn0w/knew someone that was very close to me, live a life with this drug and I've seen numerous people fall by the wayside.
(On a side note I'd like to say that I HAVEN'T been to the link, and/or watched it. If I get up the courage and strength to do so, I let y'all know.)
The Montana Meth Project is a prevention-focused organisation in Montana using a research methodology approach to reduce the devastating toll crystal methamphetamine has taken on America.

Holy crap! I watched all the clips, I'm strong like that. It made me very sad though. I wish they had more stuff like that in Missouri. Meth is bad, ya'll, mmkay!
~grin~
Yes Meth IS bad.
I haven't watched them yet, I'm thinking I will wait until tonight. ~sigh~ So NOT looking forward to it.
WOW! Holy Crap. I actually have someone close to me, who is fighting like mad to be clean of meth. He is such a good person. He is a good husband, and father and unfortunatly got sucked really far in. He has been clean for about 8 months, but he will never ever be the same.
I remember the "don't do drugs" commercials and ads from my childhood and I have to say I'm glad they've gotten serious about it, because it needs to be seriously addressed.
hi there - came here from snickerdoodles -
just wanted to say that i watched two of the ads. that was about all i could handle. they were disturbing. i think that's how i would describe them. it's good, i'm sure for kids to see and realize how serious meth is.....
Very good ads, thanks for the link. It IS important.
I didn't even know what pot, liquor,crack, cocaine meant till I came here a few years ago.
I was that naive.
I still don't know much except for liquor:)
That picture reminds me of my senior prom.
*Sigh* Good times.
BP, that is wrong for so many different reasons. ~sigh~
Yea Emily it is serious and I'm not sure if the ads will help but it can't hurt to try.
If you haven't had close contact with meth users, it gets worse than that. The worst horror story I can think of was a tweaker (meth addict) who let her 1 month old baby suffocate on the plastic baggy from her crystal meth while she was smoking it.
It's an incredibly addictive, toxic substance. When injected under the skin it can, over time, create large abcesses where the poison literally eats away at and begins to decay a person's flesh.
It also burns out the pleasure receptors in a person's brain so they can never again experience pleasure as they did before they used meth.
I had many clients in my previous job who became hooked on meth and ruined their lives.
It's a tragic horrible thing.
Wow. Those were some powerful ads! I believe that over time they can sway the minds of those thinking of trying it.
I keep trying but can't get into the visuals on the ads. The audio is pretty dusturbing though.
I am so glad that they are getting real about this. Kids are not easily impressed or intimidated anymore. They obviously are consulting the right age group for marketing.
Well, I finally watch them and if I was young I think I would be sufficently scared. They reminded me of horror movies.
I think the last two were pretty fantastic as far as showing what happens. I hope these ads work.
Education, education - it's SO important. These ads are good, shocking, but can never replace a parent taking the time to talk to their kids frankly and honestly (and not hysterically) about drugs.
My sister is a drug and alcohol therapist and she is horrified at the meth problem. It used to be the worst were alcohol and heroin. Now meth is right up there too. What else are humans going to invent to destroy themselves?
gosh, the screencaps were enough to scare me away from watching.
I didn't watch. If V wasn't going to watch, and she posted the link, I figured I wouldn't be able to handle it. But I think the poster is GREAT. Really drives home the point.
