Was that a serious q?  If it was my father in law was on big time.\nLook for:  \n  Binges of staying up for days (depending on how much they are doing),\n Crashing and sleeping for days (or just all day, again depends on how much they are doing.\n  Becomming violent\n  Overly happy\n   Very hyper/"wired"\n  Watch for them making jumps in convos - that nobody can follow.  I.E.  You are talking about how much you made from a paycheck to somone shooting a dear illegally in another state (personal, family experience of theirs)\n  Erratic mood swings.  (being happy, and talking one min, and the next be yelling about $50 you think someone is ripping you off, then saying how they got the person they are talking to out of trouble when they shot that dear in wyoming, to flipping your 6 months pregnant daughter in law over a chair while she was trying to get her husband to leave, to holding a knife to your sons throat threatening to kill him) ****Yeah, it happens fast.  I know because I was the pregnant woman being flipped over a chair.  And the person my father in law was talking to was his son, my soon to be husband.\n  Having hundreds of dollars and then being broke in a few days.\n  Being anti-social\n  Swear a lot (you had that)\n  They can make funny faces ( depening on how they are doing )\n  Unable to shut up (jabber mouth)\n  Visit the restroom frequently\n  Sniff a lot ( if they sniffed it, not if they smoked it )\n  Look for mirrors, or other flat surfaces with the residue\n  Erratic behavior (saying brb and being gone hrs, wanting to work on everything, cheating, lying, stealing ect)\n Grinding teeth\n Sores\nLoosing weight \n Dirty hands is just gross, doesn't mean meth.

I had a friend that was addicted to adderall.  She would take like 200-300mg each day.  Then, one day when the adderall seemed to do nothing anymore, she turned to Crystal Meth.!  Whatever you do, don't do that!

It all depends on how they get the drug into their system.  If they snort it through their nose, they will seem as if they may just have allergies & a runny nose & sniffles.  Using it this way will cause them to have a sudden burst of "energy" & suddenly their room will be clean & other household chores will be completed in record time.  They may not sleep for days, then they will get quite irritated for the strangest reasons.  They will forget to eat, drink liquids, & become constipated OR have the runs.  Their tongues will be dry & so will their lips.  Sometimes, they seem as if they are having a nervous breakdown because they are so nervous & confused.  The more they are pressured by people asking them questions, the more aggitated they become.  They can become violent & start throwing things.  They can yell & scream & threaten to hurt you if you don't leave them alone.  When they finally do get to sleep, they will stay asleep for days or only a few hours.  I could go on & on, but the bottom line is no matter what your age is, the effects of this drug will leave a lifelong altering mark on you mind, body & soul.  The younger you are, the longer you have to use it, but the effects on your body will show up in a much more severe way in a short time.  Usually within ONE YEAR, you will have aged 5 to 10years on the inside ofyour body.  By the time it shows on the outside of your body, it is too late & you have damaged yourself & your body permanently.  The health effects will show up as you grow older.  Usually the heart shows the most frequent signs of distress.  If you are smoking meth, your LUNGS will have problems.  If you are using a needle, your entire system & bloodstream & vital organs become saturated with the organisms that are in the dope.  If you ingest (eat) it, your stomach acids will kill most of the bacteria, but you will still sweat out the toxins through your skin & sweat glands which could cause you to start picking at your skin & face!

Most likely it is a drug/alcohol screening. Hair is used alot more often for drug/alchol testing and is more accurate them unrine. Hair also can determine if your friend has been on drugs or drank and about how long ago. Urine can not determine how long ago the person did drugs or drank. Urine is also moderately flushable(Flushing the body out with water or natural herbs to try to cleanse it of the drugs/alcohol), and no amount of water or cleansing liquid from the natural food store can cleanse hair of alcohol use or drug use.

yes, they will be able to tell almost exactly how long ago she used and they can definately tell any and all drugs she has used, however, she could use a clairifying shampoo to rid the hair of any evidence, and i hope she doesn't.

Ecstasy can be detected via chemical tests to your urine, blood, salvia and hair. However, there is no certain period of time that is valid for everybody to say that it diminishes or stays. It depends on your body's chemical features and reaction to the substance. Roughly the time periods of detection can be accebted as: in blood 24 hours, in urine 24 to 72 hours, in salvia 48 hours and in a pin of hair in 6 months. However, MDMA is not detected with every simple test on your body. The tests must include some sort of an amphetamine examination. So basicly, the answer to your question in this manner is, yes the MDMA can be "detected" in your system in periods longer than 3 days from the time of consumption. However, you do not "feel" its presence in your system for 3 days.Detection times need to be considered in conjunction with the weight, age, gender and general health of the user. The following figures are intended as a rough guide to the elimination times of ecstasy from the body.

One extremely happy person...\n\nBut in reality, you will see differences in apatite, action, and either weight loss or gain. Overall the persons personality will change to reflect the drug induced changes of their body functions. Look for this, but don’t look to deep. If you know them, you should see them quite evidently.

Some symptoms that you can keep an eye out for is, being figety cant just sit still, always touching the face, the way his hands look (cramped up) not like relaxed the way other peoples hands are, no appetite, pacing and mumbling. Someone on meth does not have to have all of these signs but some. You say this family member sleeps everynight and is hard to wake up, not sure if it could be meth, but marijuana makes you sleep and its a hard sleep. If you think he or she is on drugs have a heart to heart talk with them and tell them that you are worried and care about them and that you both can get through this together and not depend on drugs, tell him or her that you will help him or her out and be there for them, anytime or anywhere. Drugs are not the answer its the problem. Good luck.

Methamphetamine, street name, Crystal Meth.  And now is converted into Ice, like Crack, just made from Meth, not Cocaine.\n\nThe high is intense, you don't eat, barely sleep, crave SEX and your brain is in high gear, your heart will race.\n\nThis is so addictive.  More addictive than heroin.  When it first hit the scene back in the late 80's I tried it. and craved it, and if my dealer wouldn't have got busted probably died from it.\n\nIt dehydrates your body, the lack of sleep makes you nuts, you can lose teeth and your hair and skin looks and feel awful.\n\nBecause it is made using lovely things like chemicals and petroleum products in addition to the speed used (like sudaephidrine) it is also inherently dangerous.  You never know when the backyard chemist that cooked it has screwed up until you are dead from it.\n\nI would never use it again, nasty nasty stuff.  Do yourself a favor and stay away from it, or be prepared for it to take over you life.

I would have though they woule be testng for more regular drugs - recreational - HOWEVER ephedrine may give a false positive for other drugs, specifically methamphetamine. It does depend on the test they use.\n\nAs for how long, 2-4 days seems to be atypical guestimate from most of the websites I have seen in the past.  The previous answer MIGHT be correct but it seems to contradict most of the other sites I have seen. I will try and check some more. Here is a list of others which might be of use....\n\nAlcohol                                6-24 hours\nAmphetamines                           2-3 days\nBarbituates                             1 day to 3 weeks\nBenzodiazepines                3-7 days\nCocaine                               2-5 days\nCodeine                               3-5 days\nEuphorics (MDMA, Ecstasy) 1-3 days\nLSD                                         1-4 days\nMarijuana (THC)                 7-30 days\nMethadone                            3-5 days\nMethaqualone                          14 days\nOpiates                               1-4 days\nPhencyclidine (PCP)              2-4 days\nSteroids (anabolic)                 14-30 days\n\n\nThe following medical products (including ephedrine) can lead to "false positives" and might be wroth bearing in mind as an emergency excuse....\n\n    * Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)\n    * Midol\n    * Nuprin\n    * Sudafed           The one you are interested in - false pos for ephidirine/meth\n    * Vicks Nasal Spray\n    * Neosynephren\n    * Ephedra and Ephedrine-based products (often used in diet products)\n    * Detromethorphan\n    * Vicks 44

Hi,\nThe first part of your question requires a legal answer. Only courts can rule a person to be insane. However, people who are currently using meth frequently are a danger to themselves or others. This is a powerful drug that alters the mental state of the user in addition to being highly addictive. Please seek immediate professional help for your friend. Good luck.

A board is going to believe evidence over ANY testimony. Get an independent lab, like omega labs, to do a blood and hair test for drugs. If that shows up negative, submit it and respectfuly requests anothertest to be done by the Navy. It is possible to pop on a a urine test and not have done drugs. If you are familiar with the sytem, all it takes is someone to switch your clean urine with a buddies dirty urine. However, conspiracy theories wont help you, only evidence. Good luck sailor!!!

Absolutely nothing, that actually "works". Lots of people say "if I wanted to I could pass a drug test", I've heard it dozens of times, and watched those same people lose their jobs or go to jail for not passing their U.A.'s. The only way to be certain you'll pass is to stay clean. It takes 7 days to 2 weeks for your system to clear itself of meth, and 7-30 days to clear it of marijuana. Time and abstaining are the only methods that work. Forget the special drinks and home remedies. I've seen them all, and they don't work. Besides, drug testers often look for over-dilution of water in the urine, a ph balance that's "off", and all the various chemical-components that those over-the-counter store bought and home-made "remedies" contain, and if these are found, they'll consider it a "dirty U.A.". How do I know all this? I've been there before myself, and so have many people that I know that are close to me.

The local law enforcement agency can at least tell you what it isn't.  That might put your mind at ease in the case if it is an illegal substance.  You might try asking your daughter.
