Products for passing a
urine or hair follicle drug test
Chaparral Steel Co. was dissatisfied with its employee drug testing program. Urinalysis revealed only if drugs had been used within days of the test — and there was always a concern about cheating.
"It got to the point that the guys had to go to the bathroom with a nurse looking through the window," said Victor Swaim, protective services supervisor for the Midlothian, Texas-based company.
Drug testing poses a major potential problem for the hemp food industry. In 1996, an employee who had eaten a Seedy Sweetie snack failed a drug test for marijuana. The candy is made by Hungry Bear Hemp Foods using pressed hempseed. Normally it does not contain THC, but apparently a detectable amount of residue from leaves slipped through the cleaning process. Aegis Laboratories found positive readings in one person’s urine sixty hours after consuming the candy, and similar cases have arisen in other states.
