The Faces of Meth

Recommended Posts

Mostly it looks like someone's been beating them up.

The Portland police perhaps? They're well known for excessive violence.



Most of those are sores and lesions from malnutrition.

The horible effects of meth are real.
Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Good reason to stick to beer. Everybody gets much better looking, smarter, and funnier after a few beers!:D



Hmm, perhaps we should start a similar "Bellies of Beer" program to show what beer drinking will do to you. :D

(Ok, so I'm making light of a serious topic, but this is the Bonfire after all. :))

My reality and yours are quite different.

What police force isn't, including the Canadian police? Why use this opportunity to take a cheap shot at the police?

Smoking meth makes HCL, or hydorochloric acid, also known as muriatic acid, often used to control the ph of swimming pools.
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Because I'm looking at a dozen mugshots where every suspect ("suspect", not "convict") looks like they've been beaten up. That COULD be a coincidence but the Portland police and Multnomah County Sherrif are well known for beating up suspects so I'm suspicious.

GTAVercetti says some of the marks look like malnutrition to him. He might be right. That's another possible explanation.

Are you sure about that? Smoking meth makes HCl?

Doesn't really matter. I would think that nobody in their right mind would use meth if they saw the nasty shit that is used to make it.

Its not just because it looks like it to me. It is WHAT it does to you.

Here is another lovely lady. Apologies for the small size.

I have seen people who have been beaten up before. Being beaten does not make you look like a skeleton, put bags under your eyes, or make you look like you are 40 years older than you are. And injuries from beatings almost always look different than open sores.

Do cops rough up suspects sometimes? Sure. But this is most likely not the case here.

Ok, so maybe this one is more what you expected.



Ok, now you're starting to worry me, Walt... What kind of man spends a Saturday afternoon looking for pictures of male beer bellies on the Internet when he could be looking for pictures of hot porn? :P



[sigh]

You didn't see that recent thread where I volunteered to write porn and got a couple of takers, did you? Don't bother looking (it was the "Is it possible... (to explode from sexual frustration)" thread), because I sent the porn via PM.

I'm reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally trying to keep my thoughts clean lately, and it ain't all that easy!!!

The sores are caused by scratching. The chemicals used in the manufacturing process are so foreign to the body, they crystallize just under the skin. Body is trying to reject the chemical. It causes major itching. They will actually scratch and claw trying to soothe themselves.

I got a close up view of that happening day by day....
A guy I worked with some years back, next desk over
Had recently discovered Meth following a divorce.

Loss of weight, constant chatter, mirror lock in the bathroom picking his face...he was finally fired for erratic behavior...which was a good thing, I couldn't stand to look at the open sores all over his arms leaking goo...:|

I found the lesions in the pictures to be a bit odd. I do know a bit about meth addiction, and I have never noticed it having a tendency to cause people to have lesions all over the face. The sunken face and the appearance of rapid aging are common, but I don't know about the facial lesions...(?)

Yeah, I was wrong. At least in the cause of them.

While lesions can happen due to malnutrition, as was pointed out, it was probably from scratching


"Skin lesions are common among methamphetamine users and are due to the obsessive, excessive picking and scratching that accompanies methamphetamine use. These lesions often become infected and develop into bacterial cellulitis that requires antibiotic treatment. Methamphetamine use has been associated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection."
