Detailed Answer:
Hi..thanks for writing

If you have taken methamphetamine theb it will come in urine at maximum within 4 to 6 hors after oral intake..

mild quantity can be found till 12 to 24 hours

but there are studies which show that gas chromatography twst can detect it for up to 7 days after single dose..

so you have to decide what to do..?
When you have taken meth? When you are going for urine analysis? By which method of test urine analysis will be done?

these are important questions for which you have to get answers..

i hope this information will be helpful to you..best of luck...
