Meth Before and After
Meth Users Go Downhill Fast: Meth takes a physical toll on users --- they usually have bad skin, bad dental hygiene, dilated pupils, jerky body movements, paranoid and aggressive behavior. They smell bad, sweat excessively, and are desperate for more speed.

Meth Mouth is a common condition among methamphetamine users. Poor hygiene, dry mouth from the chemicals in meth, and overall physical neglect result in rotten teeth. Some users lose teeth as they eat ordinary food like sandwiches. Many individuals serving sentences for meth cooking and trafficking are having their decayed teeth pulled, adding costs to the taxpayers to cover dental care for prisoners.
