Hi,
Thanks for writing to us,
Smoking methamphetamine can cause damage to the lining of the lungs and also blood vessels throughout the body. Brown spots in mucus could possibly be due to presence of specs of dried blood in the mucus. It is advisable to get it examined by a doctor. You may be asked to undergo a sputum test by your doctor.
In any case it is advisable to stop smoking methamphetamine any longer.
Hope your query is answered.
