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

tvMay 15, 2026352,269

Spencer Pratt, the former reality TV star running for Los Angeles mayor, has been pushing claims about an ultra-potent "super meth" that experts say does not exist. Addiction specialists call Pratt's rhetoric drug-war propaganda and say there is no evidence for a new "zombie" meth variant. Pratt is in talks with Boardwalk Pictures for a new reality show, and his team downplays those plans, suggesting his campaign messaging may double as publicity. The false panic matters because it can shape voter fears and steer attention toward punitive drug policies instead of public-health solutions.

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...

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

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

MTV has fucked this nation up

Wait til they hear about super duper meth

MrQuindazzi4

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"

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.

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

Nick4

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

kyyle234

Lmao like actual meth isn’t bad enough

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.

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

“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.

Christopher Shea2

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

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.

BullmastiffLA2

I hate people who lie like this

Ntate Jefe2

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

Chris Nowak2

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

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
