Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain hurting of the tongue and inner side of lips seems to be due to Stomatitis and Glossitis secondary to irritation caused with the smoke and chemicals due to smoking Crystal Meth..
As it was just for the first time you need not to worry as the inflammation will subside gradually..

I would suggest you to start gargling with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
Take multivitamin supplements..
Take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen..
You can suck ice and gargle with cold water..
Avoid hot and spicy food and take a soft diet..
Drink plenty of water and maintain a good oral hygiene..

In case if still there is no improvement consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
