Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Yes, there are chances wherein endocrine glands like Thyroid can be affected due to consumption of Methamphetamine.
Well, if you do not have any symptoms of thyroid hormone disturbance, such endocrine dysfunctions due to meth could have not occurred.
It is always safe to avoid such drugs and get you thyroid profile to be sure of its health.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
