Answer by lollocoptor
When it comes to drug use, one of the most common symptoms is pupil dilation. However, the real thing to look for is a change from the normal, which could definitely include restricted pupils. All the other symptoms you gave are good indicators of drug use, and the scratching is a cardinal sign of methamphetamine.
I’d look out for signs of decreased appetite, increased aggression and excitation, hyperactivity, and blotchy, greasy skin. These are also signs of meth use.
