Can Long Term Use Of Crystal Meth Cause Loss Of Voice?

My 17 year old son was arrested recently and tested positive for crystal meth. He had left our home after 11.5 years and moved back with his birth family. We are still legally responsible for him until he is 18. He has lost his voice. Can that help determine joke long he has been using the drug?

Not a bit. There are both acute damage effects and long term effects that can affect the voice. There are also quite a lot of unrelated causes of voice loss (a cold?). The cold can be found pretty easily, but the other effects require directly looking at the voice box.
