Answer by Prettyh8machine
The half life of methamphetamine is 10.1 hours. That means that it takes 10.1 hours for half of the drug to break down in your system. Chemicals break down exponentially in your system so what that boils down to is it takes about 1-4 days for meth to be out of your system. If the fetus or placenta tested positive for meth, it is pretty certain she had been exposed to it within that week. Meth is a dangerous substance. If she was in a home where it was being made or used regularly, it can get into her system through her skin.
