Default Right-wingers wrong on drug testing, too...

Your information regarding the validity of modern tests is out of
date.

This is the $30 reagent test, not the $150 gas chromatograph test.

Anyone can beat any test by abstaining a while anyway, each drug is
different. The real ugly ones burn out the fastest.


Marijuana in your test results is enough to get you tossed off a
construction job, and mj lingers a long time, longer than you might
think...plus, the tests typically are given on a random schedule.


True but if you smoke crack on Friday afternoon you will probably
pass the test on Monday.
OTOH if your doctor gives you a prescription for Vicodin you are fine,
no matter what even if you are stoned out of your mind.

That is a real flaw in the drug testing scam.

Most places don't even test for alcohol unless it is an accident
investigation. If this is just a random drug screen, you can be
****faced drunk and pass.

BTW I am surprised you didn't mention the original test law said you
had to be tested in Scott's own lab. That didn't last long.


I could smoke a joint today, and pass a test tomorrow...



A point of random drug testing is that it is...random.
