Can you take meth in pill form? I assumed it would need to be crushed an snorted/melted and injected?

Meth is perfectly bioavailable when take orally.

People crush/snort/inject it because it hits faster.

It seems you're thinking about heroin. You do need to snort or inject heroin for it to be bioavailable.

Well kinda, you could eat and your body would just cleave it into morphine. A bit of a waste, depending on form... but it's an option.
