This is your mouth. This is your mouth on drugs. Any questions?

I feel sorry for the photographer. That had to be one serious case of halitosis!

This photographer specialty is anal shots.

I wonder if methmouth shares symptoms with sh*thead.

The dentures, too, crumble, fragment and fall out. It is not limited to the natural teeth.

[srm913]

If that's the case, I can't even imagine what it does to one's insides!

There is a poster in the HHS offices here in OK of a woman who is a meth user. She looks fresh and young in the first picture and gradually deteriorates to a shrunken toothless hag after only 6-8 years. It's quite chilling.

Zigas' condition was so bad that he once bit into a peanut butter sandwich and teeth were left in the bread.

What's most pitiful is that people think it will NEVER HAPPEN TO THEM, and willfully abuse drugs despite the mountains of evidence proving their destructiveness.

One offshoot of methamphetamine abuse also appears to be insatiable appetite for high-caffeine, high-sugar sodas, particularly Mountain Dew

Eeew. I always wondered about those Mountain Dew drinkers.

I am trained as addictions counselor. No one thinks it will happen to them. Check this out.

Hey now, I'm a Mountain Dew addict, and I've never touched the stuff. Mountain Dew itself is an addictive drug lol.

[srm913]

Ditto.

you got my vote for the funniest thing i have read in ages.
i'll be chuckling all the way home from work tonight, and maybe i wont be able to concentrate on married with children tonight.

Crack users lose teeth rapidly also.

[ChicagoHebrew]

On the plus side, prisoners without teeth probably find that they can provide "special services" to the local thugs ... services that literally save their asses.

[srm913]

Even though I won't eat for a week after reading your post, at least I'll be laughing all the while!

[ChicagoHebrew]

Quite seriously ... when I was travelling in S. America a few years ago, I was approached by this pimp one night who was with four girls. Three of the girls were so-so, the fourth was fat, old, and hideous -- with no teeth. She also charged three times as much as the other ones -- apparently it's quite a speciality.

FYI, no I didn't ask or inquire. The pimp just sort of hassled me as I was walking and told the score -- including the "special talent" the fat old whore developed because she lacked teeth...
