Head - you can look just as bad as you feel

[blahdob]

I wish they aired adverts like this in the UK instead of the "marijuana is bad and it will kill you don't do it" stuff

[MegaRollerblade]

she looks like a zombie.

[TastingAir]

I understand not to ever take Crystal Meth or any other drug that's horrible to life, but I have one question. How does Crystal Meth open up the wounds or take affect on how you look?

[Goobian]

It makes you feel like bugs are crawling under your skin and you want to pick at your skin because of it.

[Crewwstube]

this is what i like to see. More anti crack meth commercials then just only bagging on weed a drug that no one can prove killed anyone or physically damaged, maybe mentally to the people who are afraid of it because of all the false propaganda.

[botchalism]

@Crewwstube The entire drug war is propaganda. Wanna know how cocaine was illegalized? A newspaper wrote up an article claiming cocaine makes black men want to rape white women.  Drug prohibition killed more people then all drugs combined. Guess how the mafia started? Alcohol prohibition!

[Shudukas123]

yuck! why she keeps doing that wierd sound with her tongue and stuff?

[Duvmasta]

God! I hate that she keep clicking!!!

[ries1988]

is crystal meth the same as SPEED?? i wanna know! GOOD Comercial

[ken702]

Speed is a slang term for Meth. Sometimes used for Amphetamine.

[Adleist]

Not the same at all

Speed = amphetamine

Crystal meth = methamphetamine = ice

[simonizer888]

Notice when they reveal her meth scars, the camera shot desaturates. This adds a little shock value.

[OwningDDS]

When I was 10, I made a promise to God. I told him I will never, ever, ever put drug, smokes or ANYTHING in my mouth unless the doctor gives it to me.

[DillonJumps]

They should show these instead of the candy-coated "just say no" videos at my school.

[CITGProductions]

Yeah. 7 teenagers died in my town this year (its a small town) from heroin od's. I got to school in a close by town and a few people are pregnant, we're in 7th grade, a fraction do crack, the majority do weed, some do cigarettes, ecstasy, and some other stuff. I know someone that lost her virginity when she was 8.

[WhoisdaBob]

wow this is a great video. Sad but good.

[zepphindle234]

yeah, shes on meth.

[jbrabec22]

It's astonishing how when you're on meth you THINK your body is happy, but try reading a book or writing a letter and quietly listen inside - your body is screaming in pain and misery.

[munchkinaporizkova]

most of the stuff shes saying,sadly i heard it before from friends that are now hard core addicts.

[ADZ01982]

Its supposed to give you a huge sexual cravings.

[TheGodMar]

crystal meth kills your body.

[ToothyMcRotten]

Maybe...but not much sex appeal to with it.

[someguy666ZOMG]

i remember when i took meth for the first time i was hallucinating very badly and i felt like i was in a coma but i was actually awake and after three days the high went away and i had scratched my arm so bad i needed to go to hospital and i swore to myself i would never do it again. it toke me a while to quit but eventually i did and now im succassful at life and i get stellar grades and am lookin forward to go to university

[bxidd718]

das good man...i kno i dont you but u did a good choice

[verminslayer]

How addictive is it? One of my friends used to be a crack cocaine addic and he's been clean for about 8 years and only relapsed once. Do you think its as bad as crack?

[WhoisdaBob]

no i heard meth is much worse

[yonder101]

just as bad. meth is more addicting. crack cocaine and cacaine are different, for the people who dont know.

[AJOAndre1]

Happy to Hear that! Up with hope, Down with dope!

[randomguy301]

How do you get mental wounds from it?

[drugfreetexas]

Mental wounds can be a result of many things, including; a change in brain chemistry caused by the drug, mental anguish over what a user may have done because of the drug, or something as simple as a memory. Mental wounds are difficult to describe and heal.

[JesusFreakTN76]

For me, the mental wounds started with the brain damage, depression, psychosis, becoming suicidal, and basically losing my mind.

Then, even after quitting, I have to live with the guilt of what I put my kids through and the horrific memories of things I put myself through.

[Cabbage7777]

how does there skin fall off, dont they scratch it off or somthing?

[drugfreetexas]

One side effect of methamphetamine can be a tingling sensation that feels as if it is coming from beneath the skin. That effect with the side effect of repetitive actions and ticks can lead to a person scratching their skin away and not even realizing it.

[sonyxxmunions]

I saw in another crystla meth special where the doctor explained that the chemicals have no other way to exit the body but through the skin which causes the sores.

[thedon240g]

I dated a girl who was on crystal meth. she told me she had recoverd but when i was in bed with her and all the makeup rubbed off her face it was pretty disturbing.

[JesusFreakTN76]

Even if you quit meth and your lucky enough to heal from the physical part, the mental wounds never go away. I wish there was a way to show people the mental damage they are doing when using meth- which is alot harder to heal from.

[holdersteven]

Hey Anybody negatively criticising This Video should try to take alook at how much was said about the horrors of meth,and not read some idot-ass intellectualist remark into it's meaning. The message was about what young lady was saying.Listen to the lie that comes with meth, and how it brings its own cover of blindness. I have had the unpleasant experience of seeing meth take lives. What we saw on this video is the real deal! in 30 seconds or less.

[affectivity]

Really? Because I would think that if they saw how users' bodies deteriorate, that would be a really vivid image for healthy young people.

[drugfreetexas]

Thank you for your comment. You bring up a very interesting discussion point. Each of these ads is research driven - and research tells us most users are concerned more with a drug's affect on their appearance. It is a sad fact that vanity trumps the health consequences for a majority of drug users/abusers. We welcome your continued discussion and we appreciate your concerns.

[SDcuddy]

this is a perfect example of a tweaker

[TexMa1957]

Wow - thank you for this. I will pass this along to all the parents in my community. Meth is a huge issue in rural Texas. Thank you for the hard work in combating this vicious drug. Often times the users get so lost in their addiction that even at wits-end a family member must rescue them.

Don't give up on them...you loved them before and you will love them again...and even more for all the things they've done and overcome.

[uklondon10]

I LIKE HER GLASSES

[sflachuck]

The love of my life just died of prolonged meth use. It destroyed his lungs and his immune system. He died like an AIDS patient. He developed pneumonia and a kidney infection. It was absolutely horrific. Don't do meth!

[ehlolz]

That's really unfortunate to hear.

May he R.I.P.

[poopinaskunk]

R.I.P

[moss197]

I'm so sorry, something needs to be done to clean up the streets and remove this horrific drug once and for all.

[sonyxxmunions]

One of my best friends dies of heroin use. He was only 24. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I know how you feel to lose someone to drugs. It hurts. =(

[WretchedLives]

She's annoying...

[moshinglove]

good vid

[smgoodlow33]

Meth users never have a penny to their names,no teeth, bad skin, and a very shitty life. Meth is death!

[krsnakris]

Please, please don't risk doing this stuff. My son, chris, killed himself 27th may, 2005, due to my useof this evil drug, i lost my wonderful wife and beautiful home in Wales, my friends my health and my mind too. Don't do meth, please.

[Dreamer4156]

Thiz iz the best antimeth video ever because its so realistic. The stuff that she says iz the stuff that almost every user says. A real eye opener

[lowchillah]

agree, ban all those politicans who got no idea what they're talking about. let the users speak and nevr forget you'll get a kick....

[bcolborn]

Why are drug comercials always so stupid and corney?

[kindbudblaze]

commercial is fake,,but oh so true..i hate meth addicts

[XHighWarlordGigglesX]

you get the feeling of "bugs" as a hallucination. you have no control over yourself at all and you tear your own skin off. (your teeth melt too)

[Soothsayerman]

The scabs are called 'crank bugs'. When your body tries to get rid of the toxins through your skin, some people have a reaction which create sores.

On top of that, some people hallucinate bugs on them and the scratch the sores which makes them worse and those sometimes get infected and so on it goes...

[PhilRagsdale]

meth user's experience extreme itching sensations and will usely scratch holes in themselves

[xXChinadoll44Xx]

did she really did it

and ppl used her to make a commerscial?

or those scabs aint real?

[PitPat23]

what are those scabs i see on the people? how do they get those scares like that?

[brettd007]

its called Meth Bugs..the impurities in the mix make the skin crawl and they claw at them constantly to make it stop itching

[cadabraa]

it's the effect of the drugs... trust me you haven't see nothing yet though. The effects of this drugs go beyond just these scars. Eventually you'll get holes in your face and rotten teeth and so on. Basically you'll become a zombie-like freaked out and aggressive junkie with no rational thought left. After a few years your body will be so destroyed both inside and outside that you'll inevitably die.

[hosreh]

it eats through u

if u ever held meth its so corosive u can feel your fingers get itchy

[Akiyahqt]

the drug causes them to feel things crawling under their skins so users will pick, scratch, and tear away at something that is not even there

[Hjernespreng]

You might will find it gross how they get those scars. They scratch themselves until they bleed.

Thats messed up!

[ecs82]

the people itch. they scratch themselves. they scratch so hard they rip their skin off

[david19846]

they pick their own skin because of paranoia that bugs are under their skin and they also get burns on their lips from the pipe. nasty huh?

[flowrchild91]

they freak out when they're on it. they scratch, the pull, they pick.

[lvia00]

Meth is bad, but this commercial is horrible. You totally know shes acting, so this is completely unconvincing.

[cadabraa]

Actually, no, eventhough she's a bad actor, this would be EXACTLY like how it would be. Meth users are totally irrational because of the drugs, they will look in the mirror, see their scars and still say 'god do I look great today'. They will be in total denial, just like this girl.

[BkeautifuLL]

wat a beautifull girl

she turned out waste

[Tyrant1993]

meth is the most retarded drug ever.. you get "methmites" you gonna scratch and scratch right to the bone..

[yeslek2000]

you get that off heroin too

makes you itch

heck, take enough codine and you scratch

[kr3wdog06]

yes, judge the people that make it and sell it.

[Jrobohn]

Thats discusting

[11sisi]

i dont judge the people.

i judge the drug.

whoever discoverd meth....words can not explain

[kr3wdog06]

well meth from what i know is a mix of chemicals not even a grown drug plant. it has acid,bleach and other walmart etc. bought items so people can make it so much easyer without geting caught and it is much worse then anyother drug

[SaintMathias]

yeah pretty much from there all you have to do is worry about your house burning down

[AmkoPsicotico]

poor girl, but its reality...

[328823]

why not tougher laws aginst meth labs like crack houses?

i guess the wrong ppl would go to jail

[iagmule]

i got a good one..." You know whats the difference between a crack head and a tweaker? They will both steal your shoes, but a tweaker will help you look for em...all night long"

[rttclybgh]

How sad. But good ad

[Chickaroo134]

My friend used to do it and she would pick at the back og her nick and the top of her scalp, I helped her through it though.

[sexxymoma07]

my dad is addit and jes wanna tell him that we love him and we want him to stop. get well.

[chessaeblue]

this stuff can kill u...it's not a thing to do for fun...for meth users...it's a pasion

[patrissimo]

Tweakers are some of the most selfish people on the planet. They do no good and cause grief and destruction everywhere they go.

[bowiegirl]

one hundred percent AGREED

[anotherkygirl]

Scary stuff, eek

[indiedezz]

That's crazy! But YAY! I'm a drug free Texan! Even while living in Holland of all places! :)

[DearLady1965]

I'll share this with my kids...it's a good message and well done.

[skwinkle79]

what creates all those scars and sores? I mean they inflict them or it is a reaction?

[drugfreetexas]

A side effect of use is a tingling sensation and paranoia that can feel as if bugs are crawling on or under your skin. This feeling combined with the drug's effect of causing repetitive OCD-type behavior causes users to scratch themselves until damaged.

[XxXLISERRXxX]

meth bugs

[browsebot]

HAHAHAHA. She says, "Look at me, you can't tell, right?"

With all those bloody sores on her ass. LOL.

[cjshamrock]

spun is a great movie about meth

[stagion]

spun glorifies as much as it demonizes meth

[MissPMS]

she looks like Mimi from Rent.

[Snowleoperd]

lol yeah she does

[moongirlply]

That is sick.

[milkshake604]

my friend who does it says she feels like theres

worms in her scalp when she does it

and that it feels like bugs are crawling everywhere

thats why they pick, they tweak out and think bugs are on them

[Cosmocora]

I knew a girl who looked JUST like that from using meth.. Ive seen her on it before, and she would sit there and just pick at her skin, not really scratch. Gross...

[akormes]

This video and the girl in it is true I've got a cusin that sells and he uses and he's got all these scars all over his face and he's got a speech problem but his still selling and using to this day.

[blackmourning11]

Actually you itch because of the effect the drug has on your nervous system, giving a tingley, itchy feeling. Combine that with the effect on the brain and you gotta scratch that fucker. ALSO junkies and meth heads like to squeeze their zits a "little more" than the ynext guy and the shit makes you break out.

[karrie4fun]

they itch cause when they don`t have enough meth....it feels like theres bugs crawling all over you

[paultheuglydog]

If she only uses just a little bit of meth I would hate to see what she would look like if she used alot of meth.

[Raversnuffy]

Halifaxion, go to the East Side of Vancouver and you'll find where that image comes from.... I'm sure it's repeated elsewhere around the world.

[bleghX2]

What're the scars from?

This is sad =[

[donneil123]

they get scars from scratching there body cuz there itchy

[bleghX2]

Ahhh okay.

But why're they itchy?

[xbatsxx]

because of the effect of the meth on the persons nervous system

:(

[Craniel]

because the drug makes the people see things under their skin, and they want to scratch them out. i laughed my ass off when i read your conversation with donneil123, im not sure why though.

[Chickaroo134]

Not exactly see things. The feel like they have glass stuck under their skin so they try and dig and dig until they get the glass out, also they feel like they have bugs crawling in their skin. It's a poison and I'm sorry for anyone who does it, tries it, and mostly is addicted to it.

[Yenmoney]

SuperKrystina i could smack you

any means of teachin people not to touch that dirt is fine by me

grow up

[careysinireland]

I've no doubt you know some meth users, but i'd say their only recreational users, not full blown addicts.

Thank Chris my partner has not touched the stuff for a few years now, and her facial scars and body scars have somewhat healed.

But on a lot of her body, she has quite literally scars an inch across.

that look like bullet wounds.

So believe me , this is not some "hollywood" style scare tactic, this stuff really does destroy your looks.

[tropikalmamma]

Jesus that's awful. Thanks for sharing the truth

[careysinireland]

Mate , my point is that I personally know from my fiancee, who was a Knockout MODEL , who's photographer had to use Photoshop imagery to cover her red marks / scars on her face and arms , she told me that there was an almost obsessive urge to pick the imaginary spots from under her skin.

[SuperKrystina]

I absolutely love how all of these comercials or whatever, accentuate how Meth effects the way you look. Our society is so shallow it's unbearable.

[mussca]

Its sad but maybe that is the only way to get the message through. And if someone does care about how they look and doesn't want to end up that way then thats one life that has been saved. I agree with Yenmoney, anything to get the message through.

[drugfreetexas]

Unfortunately - in testing we have found that people, and teens especially, respond to messages regarding the physical toll substance abuse can take on you. Often times people believe they are invincible - but a zit or scar...that's something they will worry about.

[DemonicaGrotesque]

this is so set up. lame. just as bad as u feel? people on meth dont feel anymore. they just want more

[KaixRei24]

Good for you. Some people don't admit to their problem and they end up dead.

[pinnaclepix]

pretty cool! excellent

[noel2013]

wow

[globehunter]

She is a ugly child of Meth! for Meth will also blind you to its horrible appearance` as it covers you in

countless sores as a mark of the BEAST.
