Scared straight.


I saw these anti-meth ads a while back and meant to post about them, but I forgot. Somehow meth came up in conversation recently and I mentioned these ads and promised to post them, then I forgot about it again, and then I remembered just now. My brain has been all over the place lately. I think by now we've all seen examples of "meth-face" and know that it's not a very glamorous drug. But just in case you were still on the fence and considering giving it a shot, these ads should persuade you to reconsider. So, good job, Montana Meth Project.

Anyway, here are the rest of them. They're pretty graphic; some of them are kind of darkly hilarious, but mostly they're really, really depressing -- I really can't deal with the one with blood. Montana, though. I never figured "the Treasure State" as being a hotbed for meth activity, but then again, I couldn't even name a single city in the state, so I obviously don't know anything.

I do know that they're way more effective than the Me Not Meth ads that are up all over West Hollywood. These ads look like a Mentos commercial by comparison.
