    It's Schtroumpf. And Schtroumpf is not the french word for Smuf. Smurf is the english word for Schtroumpf.

    Does meth really do that to people? that's terrible. Why would a person do that to themselves? Also, what's the science behind it? Like what is it about meth that makes people get all these nasty sores on their face and get jaundiced and stuff.

    Some of those people don't look so bad. In fact, some people on the faces of Meth thing look better than they did before :p

    Assuming meth-meth is like Adderall-meth, only more so, it's possible they very rarely eat. When I was on Adderall, I dropped 40 lbs.

    EDIT: Whether or not that has anything to do with sores, I haven't the foggiest.

    The sores are from scratching at the face due to hallucinations, the loss of teeth is due to meth making you dehydrated (and simply the act of smoking) making you drink a lot of sugary drinks, and the rest is just general lack of hygiene usually.

    Not everyone goes out of their way to find before-and-after shots of meth addicts. It's not a very difficult concept to piece together.

    That said, I didn't get the comic before that faces of meth was mentioned sooo

    You don't have to go out of your way. Different versions have been showing up on content aggregators, the front page of social news sites like Digg and Reddit, and passed around on social networking sites and forums for years now. It's not impossible to have missed them, but it is a bit surprising, especially for a more net-savvy community like this.

    Well, in some ways - the sores in heavy meth users are also caused by a lack of blood flow and damage to the blood vessels, so they start developing acne that will take longer and longer to heal. This also contributes to the feeling like there are 'bugs under your skin', which is caused by have small amounts of meth and pollutants in your body that don't break down, and instead build up in oily patches under the skin. Meth addicts tend to scratch and pick at these sores, and very heavy or desperate users will actually re-ingest their meth sores to get a partial fix.

    Seriously though, why are actual monetary purchases present in a game basically for toddlers? That's kind of idiotic.
    Because apparently it works? This girl got the charges reversed by Apple because it was so high, but I have to imagine they aren't always so generous when someone buys the $99 wheelbarrow of berries. And we adult gamers were going crazy over the $2.50 horse in Oblivion!

    Yes that is precisely why I consider it idiotic. At the very least the horse is advertised to people who are adults and have a vague idea of the fact that they are spending real money.

    I'm aware this is not a new concept, really. Toy commercials and all. But this just seems worse. There's no way a toddler can 'accidentally' buy a toy unless they literally swipe their parent's credit card. Plus I can't imagine these berries do anything. I also can't believe that a 99$ barrel of berries option even exists. That's a pretty bold move to say the least.

    When my wife was doing her clinicals they had a young guy come in with bad chest pains. Couldn't figure out what it was. Tests didn't show anything helpful and he didn't fit the profile for most of the normal causes of it. Finally, they got him to roll up his sleeves and found needle tracks. After some thorough questioning they got it out of him that he was a heroin junkie and was desperate for a fix, so he thought grinding up a spider and injecting it would be a good idea. It was not.
