The effects of meth use in a parent child relationship goes a lot further than concern the baby will get the drug into their system. Meth users have no business anywhwere near a child and that is why child protective services will remove the child without a second thought and any family court judge in the land would take away custodial rights. If you are in a situation like this do what is right for your baby because the baby can't protect themselves. Good luck.

Party Drugs: Dancing the Night Away Part 2\n   Ecstasy and Rohypnol  (also known as pargchuting drugs)\nby Jeff Kopito, EMT-D \n\nEcstasy \n[3,4 Methylene-dioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA)]\n\nOriginally synthesized and later patented in Germany by Merck in 1914, MDMA was thought to have some appetite-suppressant possibilities. However, Merck never moved forward with clinical trials, and the drug was eventually abandoned. Although it was never brought to market, legend has it that during the 1950s the US Army briefly investigated it for possible military applications as part of its chemical warfare program.1 \n\nThe drug remained largely forgotten until the 1960s, when Alexander Shulgin, a successful research chemist for Dow Chemical, began his own investigations of the phenethylamine family of drugs. He and Dow eventually parted ways over this research, and Shulgin went on to catalog more than 179 psychoactive drugs, including MDMA. Shulgin, in fact, is reputed to have been the first human to have tried MDMA and often has been referred to as the "Father of Ecstasy." \n\nBy the 1970s, MDMA, now under the name Ecstasy, was being used by members of the psychotherapeutic community who were familiar with the possible therapeutic effects of hallucinogenics. The drug eventually found its way to the general population, where its potential for abuse as well as reports of its possible neurotoxicity brought it to the attention of drug and law enforcement authorities. Although researchers sued the US government to prevent a ban on Ecstasy, it was eventually outlawed and branded a Schedule I drug in 1985 by the Drug Enforcement Administration, putting MDMA into the same class as heroin. \n\nas more research is done, there is greater evidence to support possible permanent brain damage in users, including short-term memory problems, cognitive difficulties, insomnia, and anxiety. Interestingly, in a recent report on MDMA toxicity in The Lancet, the researchers found a higher incidence of destruction of serotonin transporters in the brain among female users, as opposed to men.3 \n\nSince the effects of the drug wear off quickly, users tend to take more of the drug and in higher doses. This leads to paranoia, restlessness, and anxiety. Ecstasy users are also warned about dehydration so they often drink copious amounts of water. This can cause severe imbalances of electrolytes in the blood, creating a condition known as hyponatremia (literally "low sodium"). These electrolyte disturbances can lead to stupor, vomiting, and diarrhea. In rare cases, they also cause swelling of the brain, seizures, and death. \n\nThere is also a greater chance of injury when the user has a history of heart disease such as high blood pressure, aneurysm or stroke, glaucoma, liver or kidney disorders, or hypoglycemia. \n\nRohypnol\n(Flunitrazepam) \n\nRohypnol, a member of the benzodiazepine family, is a highly effective sedative that is about 10 times more powerful than an equivalent dose of Valium. Wearing the notorious title of "date rape drug," Rohypnol is actually a tranquilizer sold worldwide outside the US as a sleep aid and presurgical sedative. Manufactured by Hoffman-LaRoche, it is listed as a Schedule IV drug in the US. Since the FDA does not approve it for human consumption, it is illegal to possess, prescribe, or manufacture. \n\nRohypnol's reputation comes from one of its effects — anterograde amnesia — that prevents the user, or unwitting victim, from remembering any of the events occurring while under the influence of the drug. Although that reputation may be deserved, Rohypnol is actually rarely used for this purpose. In fact, in a study published in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine, approximately 2,000 urine specimens taken from sexual assault victims showed that GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate) and Rohypnol turned up in less than three percent of the samples.5 \n\nI do not recommend Parachuting by drugs... this is

Speed is another name of methaphetamine/amphetmaine. The chemicals in apmethamines are man made... chemically produced.. while crack or crack cociane are made from a natural resource. Crack is made from chnaging the heating point to where cociane is burned.

Methamphetamine is a very specific drug.  You will not be able to find it in any anti-depressant.\n\nThere is no legal way to obtain Methamphetamine that I know of.\n\nYou probably don't want to hear this, but rehab and support are what you really need to do.  What have the counselors been telling you?

Meth is a much, much stronger drug than cocaine. They both excite the nervous system. Meth is just more powerful

Meth does make holes in your brain. It also affects all your other organs. Not a good thing to do. I would get some help! If you have not started don't. It is more addictive than ecstasy.

There is no proof for such possibility. The virus has a very weak environmental susceptibility and is not able to be transmitted via contaminated surfaces. Modes of transmission are sexual, vertical, blood or blood components transfusion, broken skin+infected blood and contaminated needles used by injection drug users.\nThe disease is diagnosed when an opportunistic infection e.g. P Cranii P or malignancy e.g. K. Sarcoma are detected, HIV antibodies in the blood and the increased numbers of T cells in the blood.

There are so many side effects from methamphetamine use. My eldest sister is currently sitting in county jail awaiting her prison sentence. Her husband is sitting in a rehab facility for a year. The biggest side effect from their use is that my 2 nieces and 2 nephews are parent-less. They have been in foster care for a year this month. My sister, who was very attractive and smart all her life began using and soon transformed in front of our eyes. Her pretty face became more like death. The paleness and dark rings around her eyes made her look like a zombie. Her teeth soon went to hell and she had 8 of them pulled already. She was already slim, very nice figure...but it dwindled to nothing-we could see all of her bones...her once admired figure became skeletal and sickly. Her husband and her became paranoid-thinking that even us family members were out to get them and the kids. We were denied contact with them forever. Their paranoia eventually ran everyone away and then they would just make stuff up about people to try and get some drama going. My sis now after being in jail for all these months has put on so much weight from coming off the stuff that she is heavier than she has ever been. Like nearly 200 pounds now!! She almost died too....nearly a year ago, right before her kids got taken. She did too much one nite and OD'd...but the next day walked out of the hospital on her own will cuz she had to have some more. When this meth gets ahold of you...it crushes you, it ruins you and everyone in your life. They eventually sold nearly everything in their home, including their childrens beds for drug money. Sooo...the side effects are horrible and if you would like to see before and after pics to show you what a dramatic change someone will undergo while on it...e-mail me. You will be shocked at the change in my sister..its sickening and sad. Oh..and another side effect-because when you're on it, you don't care...is catching diseases. She willingly used an infected needle to get a high and is now positive for Hepatitis C.....

Don't use again!  I've been clean for 12 years...I'm still afraid there is something in my hair.  THC is stored in fat cells.  When I lost a lot of weight I was worried that the fat cells I was killing was releasing THC into my body so I wouldn't be able to pass a urine test.  I never did find out if that was true because I was afraid to ask the doctor.

3-5 days, maximum...But let me tell you something, do a search for:  Faces Of Meth on the net.  They are no joke.  Sure you might piss clean after a few days.  But if you keep screwing around with meth, not only will you not care about any more urine screens but it won't even matter because the meth will show up VISUALLY all over your face and body.  I've seen it on everybody that I know that uses the junk...it's because the ingrediants are so toxic that not only does it poison your brain, but it totally breaks down your body.  Hopefully you will stop using that sh*t, if not then I, along with most other people, won't even respect you enough to answer your questions seriously anymore.  Meth addicts are a total waste of space.  Do your brain, body, and face a favor and quit that shit.

Methamphetamines in general mimick the neurotransmitters Epinephrine and Norepinephrine. These are naturally produced in the body and regulated by other neurotransmitters. The meth will bind to the receptors for those neurotransmitters resulting in a stimulant effect of high magnitude. The more you use the drug the more tolerant the body becomes and the less natural epinephrine and norepinephrine are produced by the body to compensate for the excess(as it recognizes the drug as the neurotransmitter and will quit producing it over time). This results in a higher threshold to get "high" and therefore more of the drug required. At the same time the body is become dependant on the artificial supply being given to the body and the user becomes physically as well as psychologically dependant. The drug itself is extremely corrosive causing widespread damage to any and all tissue it comes in contact with, ultimately resulting in perferated septum, rotting teeth and gums, erroding esophagus, failing kidneys, etc, etc, etc. Dependant users get to the point that they will give up anything to get the drug, ultimately costing them their jobs, their relationships, their dignity and their life.

some of the methanol will soak thru the skin and enter the bloodstream(how much I couldn't say). Once in the body it will become oxidized to formaldehyde which is very bad for the optic nerve in particular. \nit is possible to go permanently blind by this. people that consume too much methanol can and do die from methanol poisoning.\nif you say only a small amount was spilled on you you may be ok but wouldn't you rather know for sure and talk to a doctor?

No! Hepatitis C is a blood borne virus; that means it is only transmitted from blood to blood. You do not get it from casual contact; that includes sharing a cigarette with someone who has hep c. \nYou should not share razors or toothbrushes with anyone; the virus can live outside the body for days and can be transmitted to others (cuts from shaving or bleeding gums). Other than blood to blood transmission, you can't catch it. \nTransmission factors are tattoos, piercings, IV drug use (even if only one time), blood transfusions before 1992, EMT's paramedics, nurses, & doctors exposure through work, pnuematic vaccination guns used by the military in the 60's & 70's, kidney dialysis, etc. \nHope this helped calm your fears.

it depends on how much you were doing and for how long and how much water you drink. i have a friend who was a super heavy user like 2 -3 grams a day and was quite stout body shape he went to detox and was clean for a week and still tested postive for meth!?! and he hadn't done any at all for 1 week!! so i recommend drinking as much h20 and green tea as possible. and this is a must, if you have access to a steam room go in for 10 - 15 minutes twice a day or take epson salt baths this will make you sweat out the toxins like mad. it also makes you feel super wired cause it is releasing any of the speed stored in your system. its also an amazing way to detox. also take alot of b12 to give you energy. good luck
