Being around them and loving them is easier said than done. It breaks my heart reading this because it brings back so much helplessness in dealing with addicts in my family. I wish there was some advice I could give you but I've got none.

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

My guess is some people goff anytime someone mentions negative side effects

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