1. I think they should show alkys having the DTs..
And smokers sucking on a cigarette held up to the hole where their larynx used to be.

3. I'm the lone no vote ...
people are already quick to assume/insinuate that anyone w/bad teeth are druggies. Ads would reinforce that perception. My daughter has had that happen, & the only damned thing wrong w/her teeth are growing up w/a mom that couldn't provide the money & care that she needed to fix her teeth.

5. I have absolutely horrible teeth, but nobody would mistake me for a junkie
Unless you have been mummified, you aren't going to get meth mouth any other way.

11. Don't they have all that behind the counter or locked in a case these days?
It's like that at the Rite-Aid I go to.

12. Oregon, Oklahoma and couple other states make you get prescriptions now.
I've read that more and more states now want to go that route.

9. I don't think there should be anti-drug public service annoucements period.
They're stupid, useless, and obnoxious.

Making them gross and obnoxious doesn't make them any better.

10. Sure. Then anyone with no access to dental care will be labeled a meth head.
