I just haven't experienced this as the way it usually works. Death may be preferable to the lives they have but meth is all the more insidious to me because it is a long long long death sometimes. I know so many addicts that have been doing this for years, often becoming the the real world equivalent to the walking dead it seems. My cousin was a hard core addict for 35 or so years and nearly died several times over the years. He finally just passed away a couple weeks back. It is horrible to say but he, and we, would have been so much better off if he had just died the first time 30 years ago.
