Spencer Pratt pushes 'super meth' claims in LA mayor campaign

tvMay 15, 2026332,452

Spencer Pratt, a former reality TV star running for Los Angeles mayor, is promoting claims that an ultra-potent "super meth" is turning people into "zombies." Public health experts and drug specialists say the "super meth" does not exist and describe Pratt's messaging as drug-war propaganda that distorts addiction science. Pratt is also in talks for a new reality show while campaigning, and the false claims risk stoking panic, misdirecting police resources, and undermining credible drug education.

LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt won’t stop talking about the apocalyptic results of homeless people using “super meth,” a very scary-sounding drug that does not exist:

hmm maybe society should impose some kind of consequences for this type of shameless high profile public lying? just a crazy thought I had

Are we just doomed to be “governed” by deranged ex reality stars for perpetuity? Have we not learned our lesson?

“Super Meth” is so lame. Lost opportunity. Mega Death Meth was right there...

MTV has fucked this nation up

I read “super math” and I got really excited about unhoused folks using super math skills to rip off Spencer Pratt

The response to this should be journalists, adn especially this guys political oppenents jsut saying, "no, you're just lying about this for personal gain. It's just not true at all"

Poor LA being punished with another MTV has been "celebrity". as if wildfires and earthquakes wasn't bad enough

I took super meth once and ended up canvassing for Lyndon LaRouche. What really made it awkward was that he was already dead.

honestly a much more dystopian headline than I was ready for. sometimes it all just hits you anew, y'know?

Folks please vote for Nithya Raman - if she can get 2nd place Pratt will be gone. secure.actblue.com/donate/nithy...

Wait til they hear about super duper meth

Super-meth is REAL. I heard that super meth has already killed over 300 sheriff's deputies. They didn't even touch it! Super-meth's rays killed them right through the trunks of the cars they pulled over.

"super meth" these right wing guys are so boring, they can't even come up with something that sounds plausible

kyyle234

Lmao like actual meth isn’t bad enough

Jimmy L 📚3

some people seem to have their shit together till you realize they've started ordering DOUBLE espressos. before long they're working for money to support their habit. the work makes them tired and depressed. they turn to the demon caffeine just to make it through the day. it's a vicious cycle.

He keeps telling voters that LA is a dangerous, violent, hellhole. Is that the message that he really wants to send?

arcadus ☭3

next he’s gonna be talking about “super trans”, an even more dangerous trans person! all because he saw this logo on a truck

Christopher Shea3

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's supermeth!

How the heck did I miss Speidi running for office until now?!?

Ntate Jefe3

Atlantic article on this guy made him sound totally wacko and then I realized the author has the same apocalyptic perception of LA and is supporting him

“Is the meth blue in color? Does it have a picture of a man in a black hat? Is he in the room with us now?”

dude's an unserious fame whore.

The gentleman doth protest too much, methinks.

I’d vote for any party promising to ban anyone from reality TV from running for office.

Lizzie O'Leary2

She doesn’t even go here

The super meth talking point would’ve worked better if he actually lived in that trailer.

I’m long time recovered from meth (over a decade) and the only “super meth” I’ve ever heard of was from my dealer explaining its potency. The current supply of meth out there is pretty super already. Then again anyone with a basic knowledge of substances knows this.

Guy's a reality show clown with zero chance of being elected mayor

I hate people who lie like this

I misread this and thought, “Ah fuck, they invented ANOTHER goddamned math?!”

Hi, I spend a weird amount of time (aka “getting a PhD”) studying drugs and how people use them. “Super meth” isn’t real. Meth is meth. Read my comments on Spencer Pratt’s weird fixation on a fictional drug! Thanks @milesklee.bsky.social for covering it! www.wired.com/story/spence...

Spencer Pratt has exactly three qualifications to be Mayor of Los Angeles: 1. Playing the villain on a “reality” show 2. His house burned down 3. He’s not Karen Bass
