what is the toothbrushing for

maybe she's not doing drugs at all, ever stop to think that she might just like to have her teeth brushed all the time, maybe OCD or the like. Why not ask her if she is using meth, why are you second guessing? You are most likely wrong when you assume, so stop assuming and get the facts from your friend before you jump to conclusions.

well lets see i live in a town where meth is a very popular drug, no i have never done it and i refuse but many of my friends have been on it before. some of the side effects are sores on the face, paranoia, if they do it a lot they can lose weight, they will be constantly on the go and talking, sometimes their face will twitch or they will be constantly biting their lip, tongue, cheek, sniffing their nose or moving their hands, basically any out of the ordinary excessive movement their isn't any exact thing they might do because a lot of people do different things. As far as being their friend when my best friend in the whole world starting do meth yea i quit being her friend because i knew she wasn't going to change for me but when she got off she told me that when i quit being her friend it made her want to do it more because i wasn't around to be there for her and no its not the best rep to acquire by hanging out with meth heads but just talk to her about it and tell her how you feel. explain to her that if she continues to do meth, if in fact that is what she is doing, that you wont be friend anymore unless she stops, and if she ever wants your help then let her know that you will be there. some people cannot be helped unless they want to be helped.

If your friend is on meth, and expects toothbrushing to keep her teeth white, please, tell her, it won't keep her teeth from getting big black holes in them.........meth will just take the enamel right off her teeth, and she may lose some.
You DO need to stay away from anyone on meth. You will get into trouble JUST for being there, if/when the meth is discovered. You can't be a friend when someone is on meth. your friend will be up and down, and up and down............and you do not need the heartache, or to be an ENABLER by staying her friend, while she is on meth. Meth kills. It kills the spirit, the conscience, the body. She will resort to stealing to pay for it, and you will be targeted, for sure. A person on meth will steal from anyone, everyone around to GET more drug. Stay clear of her. Tell her, when she is on meth, you cannot take the chance of being considered being on Meth, too. You will just get into trouble. She may get off the drug, with help. You be her friend, when she needs a friend, when she gets OFF the drug. That's what great friends do.

Meth a dirty filthy drug, Ive been on it so i know, signs: fast talking, dilated pupils, teeth grinding/ chewing gums, Cant sit still, Ive stopped hanging around most of my friends because of meth it changes peoples personality, they think they can handle the drug but really it controls them. Leads to stealing psychotic episodes, permanent brain damage , rotted teeth, mouth, tongue, throat and lung cancer if smoked. Don't hang around people like that , but still be supportive of your friend until you know for sure. And don't even try it once your better off having a bit of pot , just stay away from speed(meth) and ecstasy especially or just don't use drugs in general. Find some cool friends. Drug users aren't cool I'm one of them Ive had to rebuild my life again and it takes time.
