Question 1

if a every day heavy methamphetamine user drinks tons of water and sweats alot on wednesday, and thursday, is it possible for them to pass a ua on friday afternoon?

Accepted Answer

: Maybe not. I would expect it to remain up to 4 days in a heavy user who stops, no mater what they do to "flush" their system. If they go to a hair sample as a backup, it will retain evidence.

Question 2

i did meth and now when i sweat i get a rash will it ever go away?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: This is probably cholinergic urticaria. It may or may not regress now that you are off meth. Be glad this is the worst that happened.

Question 3

will skin to skin contact or sweat from a meth user cause you to fail drug test?

Accepted Answer

: No. Your skin barrier prevents any residual drug from entering your blood.

Question 4

many people have self reported to test positive for a urine drug test (like cocaine & meth) after having sex with their partner because drugs can transfer through semen and sweat. would thc also create positive test results even if they dont smoke?

Accepted Answer

Second hand smoke: Second hand smoke from weed is more likely to cause you to have a positive urine test for THC than any transmission through semen. I doubt the explanation of people blaming semen for positive drug test.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 5

i am wearing a sweat patch for drug screening & it came up positive for meth & i haven't used at all. i did 2 hair folicle test and the first can positive for meth. haven't used in over 3mo on hydroxizine can this cause false positive?

Accepted Answer

: Methamphetamine use of any kind or quantity will be picked up on drug tests for approximately 90 days. (plus or minus 10-15 days) Hair follicle tests can be positive for 6  months. Hydroxizine is not known to cause false positives for Meth. Ask for another test to be done or more specialized test such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

Question 6

what would metabolize into methamphetamine?

Accepted Answer

Selegiline: Selegiline is metabolized into methamphetamine and sometimes causes false positives on drug screens.

Question 7

do any legitimate uses for methamphetamine exist?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Methamphetamine may be used for adhd (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and obesity.

Question 8

will a better purity of methamphetamine have any benefits?

Accepted Answer

Pure meth: No. All one can say is if the contaminated methamphetamine is contaminated with something really bad yeah the more pure methamphetamine will kill you less quicker. But dangerous and bad is dangerous and bad.

Question 9

what is the difference between methamphetamines and methylphenidates?

Accepted Answer

Stimulants: Methamphetamine (desoxyn) belongs to the amphetamine group of stimulants. It comes in 2 forms; dextro- form which is the psychostimulant, & the levo-form which is an over-the-counter nasal decongestant. Meth is highly addictive.    Methylphenidate (ritalin) belong to the non-amphetamine group of stimulants. Due to ritalin's short elimination half-life, rebound symptoms are more common.

Question 10

why is methamphetamine so addictive?

Accepted Answer

Imprinting: Almost all, if not all, drugs work on the brain by leaving "imprinting" - memory that affects brain structures that are responsible for indulgence. This is a very strong feeling that prompts drug users crave the drug. This creates addiction.
