Crystal clear?
Question
The other day I took crystal meth for the first time. Can you tell me how long it will stay in my system?
Answer
Firstly, it's important that you know the risks and effects of crystal meth (crystal methamphetamine) before you consider taking it again. This is vital in order to stay safe because this drug can be quite dangerous.
Crystal meth is a powerful stimulant that, even in small doses, can cause insomnia, increased physical activity and decreased appetite. It is a member of the amphetamine family of drugs that also includes speed. Crystal meth usually comes in ice-like crystal chunks or in a coarse powdered form. It's made from a highly volatile combination of substances, which can even include household cleaning products.
When you take any drug, the amount of time it stays in your system depends on how much you take in one go and how long it takes for your body to process it. On average it takes two to four days for amphetamines to leave your system.
