I sell pseudoephedrine out of my laptop bag
I present to you, the reader, the ever popular Faces of Meth website. This site is pure gold for a number of reasons a side from boosting your self esteem if you don’t do meth. If you are currently addicted to methamphetamines and specifically crystal meth, you should probably run home and check your family photo albums to double check if you’ve been robbed. Then again, checking for your photo album might remind you that you sold a majority of your personal property for your next score. Seriously, how much does a digital camera and a shoe box full of memories get you? Maybe a couple hits but who knows? It’s not like dealers are big on hopes, and dreams as a viable form of payment.
So what is this funny? Well, aside from the obvious there are a lot of “Faces of Meth” websites out there so go a head and ask your friend Google. An amazing number of knock off sites share the same name and also the same pictures. But this “Faces of Meth” site is special for one reason: the time references.
Truly the best part about this site is that it gives you the elapsed time between the photographs (or mug shots) under the “After” picture. (I also sort of want to know who they obtained a “Before” picture but that requires me to care.) This indicator allows you to see how quickly these people went from greeting you at Walmart to well, greeting you at Walmart.
It sort of almost makes you think of the wildlife and oceanic catch and release programs but maybe we should be treating them like illegal immigrants instead of returning them to our strip malls. Either way, it’s good family fun to see how quickly the human spirit can degrade over a short amount of time.
My favorite meth head is Junkie number 9. While they all hold a special place in my heart, after one year junkie number 9 went from total frump to Seann William Scott!
I want to conclude with possibly the funniest side effect of using meth, which is unforutunate that you can’t witness it in his photo gallery of misery (because none of them are smiling) - Meth Mouth. And I thought the dry mouth that you got from Sudafed and Claritin-D was bad.
