how long does cocaine and crystal meth stay in your system does anyone know?

Answer 1

I think your question should really be "how long can these drugs be detected." Most testing is done on urine; blood testing is rarely done, except on an autopsy.

Cocaine is rapidly broken down in the body, but urine tests do not look for cocaine, they test for benzoylecgnonine, a breakdown product. Benzoylecgnonine has a biological half-life of 5 to 8 hours, which is much greater than that of cocaine; generally, it can be detected in the urine within 24-60 hours after a cocaine use. Methamphetamines are first detectable in urine 1-3 days after use, however the drug stays in the system aproximately 3-6 days.

I generally answer a question regarding urine drug testing every day. Check my profile for other similar answers.

I hope this helps. Be well.

Answer 2

Withdrawal - No acute, immediate symptoms of physical distress are evident with methamphetamine withdrawal, a stage that the abuser may slowly enter. Often 30-90 days must pass after the last drug use before the abuser realizes that he is in withdrawal. First, without really noticing, the individual becomes depressed and loses the ability to experience pleasure. The individual becomes lethargic; he has no energy. Then the craving for more methamphetamine hits, and the abuser often becomes suicidal. If the abuser, however, takes more methamphetamine at any point during the withdrawal, the unpleasant feelings will end. Consequently, the success rate for traditional methamphetamine rehabilitation is very low. Ninety-three percent of those in traditional treatment return to abuse methamphetamine.
