2. Similar story in the formerly great WaPo years ago

Mon Feb 9, 2026, 02:48 PM

Monday

People lining up the day before or seversl hours early just to see a dentist. Story mentioned “buckets of teeth” being disposed of at the end of each day. Patients - YOUNG PATIENTS - in their TEENS and 20’s having ALL their teeth pulled.

Friends of mine in health care told me why: “Meth-mouth.” They were addicted to Methamphetamine.

Their teeth were blackened, stained, rotting, and falling apart due to Meth. So bad their teeth could not be salvaged so they were removed.

They also were defiant in ‘not takin’ no handouts!’

Missing the irony that that was EXACTLY what they were in line for and hoping to get.
