I've linked to Faces of Meth before, but I don't think I've linked to quite this version. Chilling. (Note: Two of the thumbnails are crossed with each other, so you click on a woman's face and get larger photos of a man, and vice-versa, but only two.)
Random note: Last time I posted a meth link, I apparently got listed for "meth" in Google or something, because a ton of people who'd obviously never read PCJM before found the site and started posting testimonies about what a scourge meth was and how hard it was for them (or their children) to kick it. Not that there's anything wrong with kicking meth, but I'm certainly not used to that kind of comment on this site, where the most serious thing discussed is what episode of "Facts of Life" was the best. It was just like...changing the channel from a TV Funhouse episode to a PBS docudrama.

- I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog, Facebook, and Twitter.

I live in a town with a huge meth problem and this is really scary. Interesting that you got all those comments last time.
I would swear that some of those pictures are not of the same person. Meth seriously alters a person's face!
And, apparently, it causes huge open sores on their faces--what's up with that?
Gael, it is interesting you posted this this week. There has been a little bruhaha here in the Cities over City Pages "Best of" issue. They listed Meth as the best Bang for the Buck. They claim it was satire but judging from the uproar, not many people got it.
not to minimize the scourge of meth, as it clearly takes its toll on families and individuals, but evidently in addition to everything else, it makes you have really, really bad hair.
