i think the nature of the drug itself is at least partially to blame as well.
the reason chronic meth users get "meth mouth" is the effect the drug has on saliva production. it also causes sore throats after substantial use.
cocaine also causes a drop in saliva production and i think that must have at leas some impact on the sore throats you are experiencing.
Meth mouth is mostly caused by the insane lack of sleep that persists with constant drug use and the fact that candy is the primary form of nutrition for much of this time without any concern for oral care. The meth is bad for you, but the faces of meth and other ad campaigns have no real science that holds up in peer reviewed studies. If you don't sleep for weeks on end you will go insane no matter who you are. If you don't eat food besides candy for a week then you will notice your teeth starting to rot. Meth is bad for sure, but lets not forget that the drug causes the lifestyle that leads to the behavior not the drug itself.
