In United States, Methamphetamine or meth is a stimulant that speeds up the body’s systems and is classified as a Schedule II drug. It is the second most popular illicit drug in the world with high potential for abuse, possibly leading to severe psychological or physical dependence. Some of the common street names are meth, speed, crank, glass, crystal and ice.
The prescription form of methamphetamine is Desoxyn. It is used in treating ADHD and short-term treatment for obesity.
Detection window for methamphetamine or meth in the human body depends on many parameters including type of test used, the method of use, individual’s health, age, physical activity, metabolism and frequency of use.
Detection window for methamphetamine:
- Blood: 1 to 3 days
- Saliva: 1 to 4 days
- Urine: Single use 1 to 4 days; Heavy use up to a week
- Hair: Up to 90 days
Meth or methamphetamine takes about 10 hours for half of the ingested dose to be metabolized and eliminated from the bloodstream. When taken orally, concentrations of methamphetamine peak in the bloodstream between 2.6 and 3.6 hours, and the metabolite peaks at 12 hours. If meth is taken intravenously, the elimination is a little longer at about 12.2 hours.
Liver enzyme breaks down the methamphetamine or meth and gets excreted by the kidneys in urine into amphetamine and 4-hydromethamphetamine.
There are a bunch of false claims and myths when it comes to passing a meth drug test. The only way to get meth out of the system is to abstain from using the drug and giving the body time to metabolize and eliminate it. Staying healthy by taking good diet, doing regular exercise and adequately hydrating with water may also help metabolize the substance more quickly.
Frequent or heavy meth users can detox from the drug safely through the withdrawal and treatment process under the care of medical professional.
Finally, how to beat a drug test?
Depending on the timing of the drug test, one can beat the drug test by following legal strategies:
- Find out the exact date of the test and adjust or abstain from using drugs accordingly. Three days’ notice is adequate to clear most drugs out of the system. Workplace tests tend to occur in a predictable pattern, probation tests tend to be on a set schedule, and random testing would not come as a surprise. One can watch the calendar.
- Drink plenty of water. The more dilute the urine is, the less detectable any drugs will be. The lab will disapprove samples that are too watery. This will be done through chemical testing, so taking vitamin pills will not be of help (vitamin pills tend to turn the pee yellow).
- First morning pee tends to be the most concentrated, so getting it out of the way before heading to the lab will be of some help.
There are many sneaky strategies that can be tried with caution. There are many products, strategies and home remedies that might work, but most of them are risky in one way or the other. You might not know what exactly you might be putting in your body if you are trying out remedies or buying a sketchy detox product.
