methamphetamine from urine?

Question

i heard that methamphetamine is so addictive that when people who are despreate actually cook it from their own urine is that even possible wow!! you must be really desperate anyways i think that the metabolites might be able to be converted back but i am skeptical to me it sounds like a myth. because imabine how many people would do that if it was possible.

Answer 1

Some methamphetamine is metabolized into amphetamine in the body. Under normal conditions, up to 43% of the dose is eliminated unchanged in 24 hours with 4-7% as amphetamine. In acidic urine up to 76% is unchanged drug an 7% is excreted as amphetamine in 24 hours. While in basic urine only 2% is unchanged drug and less than 0.1% is amphetamine at 24 hours. Methamphetamine concentrations after the administration of 10 mg are typically 500-4000 ng/mL during the first 24 hours. It has been reported that the methamphetamine concentration of methamphetamine abusers is 2400-33300 ng/mL (average 14200) and amphetamine concentrations of 1000-9000 ng/mL. (Average 1800).

It would be possible, but your milage would vary. I would hate to think of the possible health impact of injecting urine stained crystals though.... urrrgh.

Answer 2

the acids in yor urine would break the drug down. the possibility of some meth monster doing it. yeh i am sure when you are on meth you think anything is possible so i wouldnt doupt that someone did it. its like when you keep putting water on the spoon just hoping that there is enough residue to get you high again and dont even realize that you have like 50 holes in your arm and no high. meth is a serious drug. oh and the other myth that you cant die from it, yeah that is wrong as well. hope this helped

Answer 3

Given that most women's estrogen pills are derived from horse urine . . . I would suspect that the meth process is actually doable . . . although totally disgusting, but then again speed freaks are pretty foul most the time .
