meth.

I have a brother who has been homeless for 15 years. I've seen all those conditions but the last time I saw him was 2 years ago. Skin was clear but that propane torch tip and weight loss suggested he was cookin meth.

If it's tough to have him around, at least give him a call often.

Definitely sounds like it. Down to the sleeping because he probably doesn't

Yup. Skinny, crashing and sleepy when coming down off it. Rural town. Meth is what that adds up to.

Yup it’s a common tale you and I team up on. Person with mental illness uses meth. Comes in psychotic and fighting.

I've a pot smoking son - it doesn't make you lose weight. There's something else

I've known too many terribly sickly, emaciated alcoholics to write that off.
