Does methadone show up as metamphedimine in a ua?

I'm not really sure what you mean here, but if you are asking if methadone will show up as methamphetamine then the answer is NO. Why would an opiate show up as amphetamine(speed)?

How does Fentanyl and methadone mix?

YOU cannot use tramadol in combination with methadone. It is an opiate antagonist which if you are taking methadone can send you into instant severe withdrawl.

There are many pain meds you cannot mix with methadone. Take it from a life long methadone patient who has experienced what it is like to mix an opiate antagonist with methadone........Do not try it............................

What happens when you smoke marijuana laced with methadone?

Nothing really. Actually it's pretty pointless. You couldn't lace enough marijuana with methadone to really feel the effects of methadone anyway. You may get a slight opiate buzz, but other than that, nothing much. I mean u would need about 20mg's of methadone to really feel anything and if you put 20mg's of methadone in a joint or blunt of marijuana, you would basically be smoking methadone laced with marijuana LOL, thats how much methadone there would be. (20 mg's of methadone is alot of powder) And if it is dipped in liquid methadone, than it would be the same thing, there just wouldn't be enough methadone absorption to make a significant difference.
