Life or Meth:

Live for yourself, or live for the drug.

The truth is, meth makes people feel good.

It's also chemically designed to damage, enslave and kill people.

Mothers Against Methamphetamine:

Methamphetamine makes you feel powerful and confident, energetic and intelligent. You can dance all night and be cool with your friends. Got some bad news for you. The high was a lie. Methamphetamine is a lie. Meth gave you a feeling of power and control. You have no power and you are not in control. Meth promises pleasure and endless energy. I delivers depression and insanity. It gave you an illusion of confidence and independence. You are now chained to a chemical, and by the time you realize it, it's too late. You can't just walk away from it.
