A long-standing tradition at my office is that, if you end up having to work after normal hours, you gather around and play a prison, crime, or mental health documentary while everyone works. One of my favorites is Montana Meth (2006). Many of you seem well-informed, but it's worth watching, if only for the bleak landscapes that frankly help me sympathize a little with the featured users.

Someone get screenshots of the posts of these kids when their parents (or worse, the feds) come knocking.

It won't be just hilarious. It's literally saving their dumbass lives.
 
Look, I'm no fucking purist. I drink, I smoke, and if weed was legal here, I'd be blazing up every off day.

But this is different. WAY fucking different. Up until this thread, my only exposure to "meth culture" was you atypical Alabama toothless trailer-trash. The kind of people that made scrapyard dealers have to put up the "NO METHHEADS ALLOWED" and "NO BATHROOM COPPER" signs around their recycling places. You know the people I'm talking about. One glance & you know in about three years they're either going to be in jail, in a box, or in a ditch someplace.

But seeing these young, healthy & often very attractive people publicly destroying themselves on a forum that not only supports, but justifies and encourages that act...

I've typed and erased this next line three times because I don't honestly know what to say.

I just feel really sad, really old, and wish I'd never joked about there being "no ground floor in hell".
 
Also, it seems people inclined to addiction experience drugs in a different way than those who can take it or leave it, or who actually just hate drugs. A lot of normal people don't experience euphoria from drugs at all, but just feel weird or at the very least realize they're doing something really bad for them that they don't want to repeat.

I was wondering about that. I'm a sort of take it or leave it person when it comes to drugs. I smoked a lot of weed but never really had any feelings of "oh man I need a hit". Right now I haven't smoked it in almost 2 years with no problems. When I smoked out it I felt exactly the same as when I was drunk. The big difference being that it wore off a lot faster, I really wanted to play video games, and I slept like a baby that night.

The only hard drugs I did was a line of coke once at a party and honestly I can't see how people get addicted to the stuff. It made me feel like crap and really really wide awake. But anyway, enough about me!

The problem with basing relationships on drugs is that it eventually becomes only about drugs. Each person only likes the other person because they can get them meth or money to get meth. Drugs are not romantic.

That's the part that's killing me the most about all this.
I've seen people destroy themselves on drugs too many times to count. I'm not about to get on my high horse and say you shouldn't do drugs, hell if there's a space cake going I'm always first in line to grab a slice and my nicotine and caffeine addictions are pretty strong.
But these are young kids. They don't have nothing to lose like most people I've seen succumb to this stuff. They have a whole lifetime ahead of them teeming with opportunities and experiences that's literally just waiting. They're not turning to drugs because they want to escape their horrible lives, they didn't start doing them because they felt lost and hopeless and they're not scared of the drugs taking their lives but feel powerless to stop and feel they have nowhere to turn for help.
Instead they're posting about how fucked up they're getting like it's a goddamn badge of honour.
 
- Everyone loves serial killers
- Doing drugs
- Going shoplifting
- You diagnose yourself with a mental illness


Hmm, there must be a pattern here somewhere...
 
Both of my older brothers were heavy drug users in their teens and it's stuff like this which boils my piss. Whenever they talked their speech was slurred and they could barley hold a sentence. The only thing that sobered them up was prison.
 
I never understood the appeal of meth. Pot I understand. Opiates I understand. Cocaine I understand. Molly I understand. But I'll never understand meth or hallucinogens.
