Meth Project Ads

These are some of the Anti-Meth Ads. Very powerful messages imbedded into them. One that comes to mind is the one where a young girl says, "I'm gonna try meth just once, I'm gonna smoke this just once, I'm gonna steal just once, I'm going to sleep with him for meth just once" ("Meth Project Ads," 2009). Some of this going on while in the presence of her little sister, which in the end of the ad it shows her going through her sisters purse and saying, "I'm gonna try meth just once"("Meth Project Ads," 2009). 

It Goes to show how much of an influence bad behaviors can have on anyone, even the ones we love.
  
Most of these ads show denial and how the users are not going to fall into the spiraling disease of this drug, but eventually do. They also show how meth causes negative effects on everyone within their destructive path.


Another one that is very powerful is of a girl getting dropped off at the emergency room and by that I mean thrown at the curb by her so called friends. She's apparently overdosing and in the story line she praises her friends by stating since they are very tight they will take care of her no matter what happens. This of course was not the case. When times are tough and you find yourself in precarious situations; if your lucky enough to live through it, you realize who really cares for you. Hopefully it's not too late! With friends like that who needs enemies right?



I suggest you guys look through all of the ads from the METH PROJECT.

  1. The Meth Project Ads definitely sends a very strong and graphic image about methamphetamine and its effects. What I like about this Ad is how it illustrated both the physical and mental disabilities that meth addicts suffer. It effectively shows how life of an individual drastically changes from appearance, behavior, and lifestyle. The part battle between the teenager and the mother really got me because I am a mother myself. As a parent, you want to do everything for your child to ensure their safety and wellbeing, but with substance abuse where do we draw the line? when do we stop helping? how do we help?
    Great post!
