What causes meth mouth? And what drugs besides meth make druggies lose half their teeth? Are these people ashamed of their teeth, or does the lure of the drug supercede this sort of shame?

Crack also rots the teeth

Since I only use weed, my teeth are in great shape, I just get them whitened once a year and that's it.

I've never in my life touched meth. But the reason for "meth mouth" is lack of proper hygiene paired with depleting your body of needed minerals and weakening your teeth and bones.

People who use meth go on binges and the last thing they are thinking about is their teeth. Meth is horrible for the body.

I used cocaine for a short period, around 2001 / 2002

Right after the 9/11 attacks, weed kinda disappeared from NJ or it was very expensive.

Coke, on their hand was available everywhere for some reason.

This Peruvian guy used to bring it to me and I'd snort that crap while surfing the Internet, it became some sort of a ritual.

In the beginning you can control it, but after a few weeks, the cravings start becoming hard to resist to.

I could see I was becoming a slave to it and luckily, I found a great weed connection in NY and was able to quit that coke crap without suffering too much.

When I remember the sleepless nights, the running nose and worst of all, the "moral hangover" in the next day, I ask myself how could I enjoy that garbage even a bit.

You couldnt pay me to go back into the heroin slavery. It blows my mind seeing people I was in recovery with relapse. It's so hard and miserable getting off that shit.

You can't get meth here, not that I know of and the heroin junkies have bad teeth because they're usually quite dirty people anyhoo... I've only ever been a bit addicted to painkillers but I'm alright now...

....."anyhoo"

That definitely seems like someone who has a Scottish accent.

Yknow the 1st Prime Minister of Canada was actually a Scottish born in Edinburgh @SHAMPAIN. He wasn't North American.

...and they said he spoke with a thick Scottish accent & was often seen drunk on Scotch whisky.

The first Canadians and Americans had plenty of Scots among them, was basically Brits that founded both countries... A Scotsman drunk on whiskey? Nooooooo!!! hahahaha!
