Exactly.
I have had the displeasure of knowing a few hardcore meth addicts that look like that as a result of their meth addictions.
Meth addicts in their 20's who have stayed up for weeks at a time and barely eaten will often become as wrinkled and grey as someone in their 50's or 60's after only three or four years.
Fortunantly, only the minority of people who use meth become that seriously addicted for a long period of time and destroy their bodies like that. At least as far as anyone I've ever known or met.

Secondly, a hardcore heroin addiction isn't good for you, but it's not going to have that type of an effect.
Heroin itself doesn't cause physical damage, unlike methamphetamine.
The reason *some* hardcore heroin addicts look worse for the wear is because they don't have good diets or don't sleep too well.
I've been a heroin addict for two years. The people I see on the streets of Baltimore that have been using for 20 years really don't look all that bad.
And physically, I really don't look much different than I did before I became addicted. My eyes have slight bags underneath them because I don't sleep as well I used to. That's about it.
With methamphetamine, it does cause damage to your body. Hardcore users are malnourished. And the lack of sleep significantly ages your body.

No kidding?
Why are you going to criticize anti-drug organizations when you are doing the exactly the same thing you say they do?
Especially if you knew anything about the long-term effects of methamphetamine and knew that it really does ravage your body exactly like the pictures depict?
I mean, what would have been the point of substituting pictures?

Her eyebrows didn't change colors.
If you look closely, you can see that they're falling out. Because they're so much thinner, the color looks lighter because her skin is showing through and with her hair partially covering them in the "after" picture.
When you are that malnourished, your hair starts falling out. And not just the hair on your head.
