Methamphetamine, often called meth, is a powerful and highly addictive stimulant. Understanding meth drug testing can be crucial for various reasons, whether you’re a concerned parent, an employer, or someone curious about the process. Meth drug tests can detect the presence of meth in the body through several methods, including urine, blood, saliva, and hair tests. Each method has its own detection window and level of accuracy. Urine tests are the most common, typically detecting meth use within the past 1-4 days. Blood tests offer a shorter detection window but are more precise. Saliva tests can detect recent use, while hair tests can reveal meth use over a longer period, up to 90 days. Knowing these facts can help you make informed decisions and understand the implications of meth use and testing.

Researchers sought to provide community-based evidence in the co-use of opioids and cannabis among people who inject drugs. A recently published qualitative study (1) found that cannabis can help with reducing opioid use with people who inject drugs (PWID). Opioid overdose deaths have increased significantly in the past decade, and access to cannabis has as well, yet there is limited clinical evidence on cannabis use in populations of people who use opioids and inject drugs. This study, which was funded by National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), aimed to contextualize the existing data on the factors related to cannabis co-use with opioids.

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."
