Yes but how many meth heads do you know that randomly decided to do it one day for the hell of it? I’m sure there’s some out there but 99.9% of the time it’s going to be someone in such a bad situation that they don’t care about the long term consequences, they just want to not suffer.

I know a lot of ‘meth heads’. Most of them were prescribed Adderall as kids but as adults it became harder and harder to obtain prescriptions and they eventually turned to alternative solutions to get their medication. Correction, “knew”, I knew a lot of meth heads. Most of them died from opiates added to their medication they didn’t know about. Fun fact: no one has ever died from a meth overdose. It’s always meth in combination with something else, usually opiates. I mention this because there’s a stigma with meth prevalent in society and it is very unfair in my opinion. There are meth users and meth heads. A meth user is capable of living a very normal life. A meth head is created by society, mental illness, malnutrition and poverty. Just my opinion.
