Okay, I don’t think I buy this story, but I must admit I don’t really know the answer. Here’s the story.
Someone I care about has recently been told by his mom that she tested positive for meth only because she regularly gives her meth using boyfriend head and not because she has used herself. She swears she is clean and hasn’t used since she got busted. She said the test barely tested positive. She also claims she googled it and it is positively true, but when I google it, I get not one single hit.
So, she’s lying, right? He wants so badly to believe her.
Meth metabolites can be detected in sweat, saliva, urine and serum (the liquid part of blood). I can find no reference to it being detectible in semen in the medical literature (although I grant you I’m not using the really big database at the moment.)
'Bout half of what you ingest as methamphetamine is released unchanged in the urine, though. (That you can find on wikipedia.) I wonder if she’s into more freaky “head” than she’s willing to tell her mom about…
If she’s drinking enough of his urine to test positive, even “barely positive”, she’s getting enough of it to get high, though. Mmmm…gotta love methheads who are into recycling!
She pisses me the hell off. I mean, seriously, he believes it because he wants to believe in his mom so bad. And now I’ve got that stupid question in my history.
You are correct. So perhaps she’s into more freaky “head” than she’s willing to tell her son about. I know I wouldn’t tell my son I was into Golden Showers if I was (which I’m not.)
It is, however, possible to fail a drugs test for all kinds of other reasons (depending on the kind of drugs test) that didn’t involve ingesting the chemical tested for.
I think the fact that a SON and his MOTHER are having that conversation in the first place is CREEEEPY. There isn’t a big enough font for the “TMI” !!! :eek:
I’ve not heard that, but some do drink their urine. Or other users’ urine. Some even pick their scabs and eat them, trying to get the meth left in the scabs.
