Is meth really that bad?

Question by : Is meth really that bad?
I just watched a documentary about meth, and it makes it sound like an impossibly addictive substance.

Like, you try it once and you are hooked for life.

I know a long time ago there was a huge campaign to convince peoole that marijuana was this awful, destructive drug, just like they describe meth today.

Is it really that bad, or is this just another scare campaign?

Did this documentary show “before & after” pictures of meth users? That stuff messes you up.

Marijuana, on the other hand, is a rather mild drug.
