Does Methamphetamine Show Up In Blood Drug Test?
Brief Answer:
It depends on the purpose of test
Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. If your blood work is not testing for morphine and meth then it is unlikely to be found.
2. If they are testing for drugs in your blood then
(i) morphine has a testing window of 12 hours after consumption. It means that if some one is trying to look for morphine in your blood then it will most likely show up only for 12 hours after consuming it.
(ii) meth will be positive if you are being tested for Amphetamine and this is positive for 3 days after smoking.
3. If your blood work is for any other purpose then morphine and meth will not show in the report.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
