If someone was doing drugs (speed) for 20 or 30 years, how can you tell...

This explains it all....
However, if you need a serious answer - Speed over works your heart. Your friend will die of a heart attack if he is a regular user. I bet he has the heart of a 70 year old.
Medical Science dear. Cut them open and look inside.
If he's been doing it this long, his body has probably gotten use to it. I'm not sure if you would see any external signs after 20-30 years of use (unless you take away his fun pills...then all hell breaks loose)

Speed is the street name for Amphetamine. Like coke it's a stimulant that people take to keep them awake and alert.
Speed makes people feel wide awake, excited and chatty. Clubbers take it because it gives them the energy to dance for hours without getting knackered. Speed was once the main ingredient in diet pills because it stops people feeling hungry.
There is a flip side:
It's impossible to sit still or sleep on speed
The come down can make users feel irritable and depressed and can last for one or two days.
Speed makes some people panicky. Sniff a lot in a short space of time and expect hallucinations.
You can get addicted to Speed. The more speed you take the greater chance you'll need to take more to get the same buzz.
Speed users have died from overdose.
Speed puts a strain on your heart. It's bad news for people with high blood pressure or a heart condition. An overdose can be fatal.
Avoid taking speed and anti-depressants or alcohol. This combination has been known to be fatal.
Taking a lot of speed can give your immune system a battering. You could get more colds, flu and sore throats if you use it a lot.
Speed can lead to anxiety, depression, irritability and aggression as well as mental illness such as psychosis and paranoid feelings.
Too much sniffing speed and you're sneezing lumps out of your nose into a hanky.
Injecting any drug can cause vein damage, ulcers and gangrene.
Dirty or shared needles and injecting works can help the spread of hepatitis and HIV. Injecting speed is particularly dangerous because it's cut with so much crap.
It's easier to overdose injecting

You can't really tell although speed does kill an awful lot of brain cells. I did heavy drugs for years and am now straight/sober no one I associate with now would never guess what I was like then.

#1 prolonged drug use does affect your physical appearence, someone who has been a speed addict for that long will have droopy skin and probably chemical burns from cooking it up.
#2 somone who has been doing drugs for over 20 years will be very heavily addicted to them and will either be on them (and we can all tell when someones high) or will be suffering from withdrawal (also very noticable)

It would depend on if they are clean or still using. If they were clean and sober for a long enough period of time it would be hard to tell by looking at them if they had used and for what length of time they used. If they are still using the pupils of their eyes will probably be dialted and they may exhibit mannerisms like being unable to stand or sit for any length of time,being jittery and so, on.

I think it all depends on how drugs react with your body and if you develop a habit or addiction of it then its a bad thing.

You can tell when somebody is on speed if they're all tweaking, picking at their skin (they'd have sores on their skin), can't sit still, eyes are dialated,...and I assume that they'd be broke all the time and never pay bills.

Thier unstableness, being fidgety, always changing there mind, spending habits, and many addicts steal, are dishonest, There family life tends to fall apart, as their soul concentration is on using, and where to get their next fix, it is a habit, of the devil.

He'd probably be really skinny, and I guess I don't know how speed is taken, but if you can smoke it, his teeth would be rotten or gone. And he'd probably be paranoid.
