Well over a decade ago I worked extended gig in a medical manpower shortage area, also a meth-addicted mess of a community. The percentage of patients who were positive for meth, and quite often a master mix of substances was truly astonishing. Once my gig was up, I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
There's no "deader" soul than a tweaker. They can pretend to be an empathetic human only so long, one look into their eyes bares their whole game. I got to 100 percent predictability which were positive for meth, even relatively new users who are still "holding it together".
It's the same old shit under new jargon I'm likely unfamiliar with now: "speed kills, man, let that fucker sleep in the alley somewhere."
Is it any coincidence 2 different communities, one worse with a meth problem than another but still creepy-creepy crypts, also happen to be the "reddest" districts in the entire southwest in the disastrous 2016 election?
When I see any long term tweaker extrapyramidally attempting to walk down the sidewalk anywhere and think about how they still think they're fooling anyone when still trying to play their drug seeker game... weeping sores all over them... 🤮
At one time there was probably a salvageable human being there.
