These billboards produced by the Montana Meth Project are pretty striking. The question is: are they going to convince people not to do crystal meth?

Wow. Those ads are brilliant.
Those adds are breath taking. They make me feel sick.
Those adds are breath taking. I know I will never do meth because of what i just saw.
I don’t get the last one. Is it saying that her sister did meth because she was following her example?
layne: That’s how I interpreted it.
these anti-meth ads are so intense. This is what we all need to see, the absolute truth in it’s raw form. I am glad people are talking about it, hopefully it will really get to some people. I think everyone knew Meth was bad, but showing you what it does to you and your family is what everyone needed to see.
Whoa, these are fantastic.
I wonder if the last one refers to the little sister looking up to her older brother literally, like down from his cock. i know i’m twisted, but i was only inspired by these disturbing ads. brilliant yes, but I wouldn’t put it past them to leave an underlying message that the little sister sucked off her brother before and after he turned her into a meth addict.
Meth is bad..
M’kay?
drugs are bad. everybody says nobody beleives? my dad hung himself when i was 2 thanks to heroin. people die everydie to stupid things like drugs. u think ur the cool 1? the s trong one who wont get addicted? ur not. one try and ur done… think rehad will help? ya it will but the way of life is in your head already. once u have a bad point in life again u will go back to drugs.
The last one is probably meaning that the older sibling introduced her to the drug. Like not by following the example by giving it to her. She took it cause she looked up to them so therefor trusting them.
My sister used to have a boyfriend that did meth before they were together,he had quit for about 3 months while he was with her, but then he got back into it…he stole her laptop (pretty much her only valuable possession) to pay for more meth and he’s in rehab right now, he looked so disgusting when he was on meth, it’s a horrible, horrible drug, if you’re ever going to do drugs do marijuana, I think we can all agree it’s the safest drug, but only do it if YOU want to, don’t do it from peer pressure or they’ll own you, if they’re pressuring you and you don’t want to do it tell them that it’s not cool that they do that, and if they keep pressuring you make new friends. If you do want to do it though be smart and do it in a safe environment with trustworthy friends. Contrary to what others say, weed isn’t a “gateway drug” sure it lets you have the opportunity to try harder drugs, but if you didn’t want to in the first place then you won’t at all, at least if you’re sober and didn’t do weed from peer pressure, that’s another thing, never ever try new drugs or say you’re going to try new drugs when you’re not sober, just tell yourself if you really want to do it that you’ll tell them you want to when you sober up and can think clearly. I know this isn’t a “DON’T DO ANY KIND OF DRUGS!” message and some people may be angry for my lack of hostility to smoking weed (but “DON’T DO DRUGS OF ANY KIND!” is just like sex-ed only teaching kids abstinence, a lot of them are still going to have sex(like myself) and it’d be better to teach them safer sex practices(which I took the time to learn myself, which is why my girlfriend isn’t pregnant) why do you think teenage pregnancy is so high?) I’m just saying what’s really going on, not exaggerations, unfortunately though these ads aren’t exaggerations, meth really can do this type of stuff to you.
ha they make you feel sick, today i saw 9 people commit suicide, this is nothing after my day.
and i dont think i would do meth anyway
Those are nasty and brilliant ill never do hardcore drugs but i only smoke weed and its not that bad.
Wow. That’s crazy.
LOOK BUTTSECKS!!!
These ads are great for older people who understand what these ads mean.. but for someone who just learned how to read or say they’re in grade 5.. it would scare the piss out of them.. like the one about the bugs..
Some of these are better than others. I don’t usually approve of scare tactics, but I think the most powerful one (for me) was third from the bottom, “tear off their own skin.” The least powerful was actually the top one, “lose your virginity here.”
I know they’re meant to be shocking, but billboards have a tough time getting the right demographic. How about a conversation with you six-year-old on the way to see Grandma? “What’s meth, mommy/daddy?”
^ What the fuck?
Maybe I’m just an ass, but I found these pictures funny. The first picture had me cracking up! The only picture that disturbed me was the one where the blonde guy was missing a tooth and looked like he was mauled by a tiger. However, I found the last picture that implied that a sibling would do drugs just because an older sibling did some absurd.
Scare tactics, however true, won’t work on the desensitized youth of today, where we can shoot people into pieces with guns on a video game. Maybe I just have a sadistic sense of humor, but I’m not scared of meth because someone wants me to be. I will however, avoid meth and other dangerous drugs.
