How long does it take meth to dissolve in water?

Answer 1

Forever,

You can only remove methanol from your system by drinking ethanol as it competes with the methanol. Methanol has a far higher affinity for you than water, and so water won't remove it. It is the ethanol that removes it.

However, if you have drunk any methanol by accident, you should phone an ambulance, try to vomit and drink any spirits, vodka, whiskey etc to get ethanol to compete with it.

Note: Methylated spirits contains a high ethanol content to compete with the methanol, so very little would stay in your system from a very small exposure. In case anyone is thinking of trying methylated spirits, methanol can make you go blind and kill you, so you are better off going to your local pub/bar if you want to get drunk.

The previous answer is completely incorrect. First of all, you should never, NEVER, induce vomiting after drinking methanol. Methanol can cause a person to breathe in (aspirate) their vomit, and cause choking or drowning. VERY dangerous.

Also, I think the previous answerer misunderstood your question. I think you are talking about methamphetamine, or crystal meth. Methamphetamine is water soluble, and should be eliminated from the body within three days, much like cocaine. Drinking more water will speed up the process, but remember that drinking too much water too quickly can stop your heart, so don't sit there and drink gallons of water all at once.

I'm a pharmacist, and a chemist, so I know the answers to this question are accurate.
