Questions To Ask Before You Get Tested

Hi y’all! I just pulled this off of alt.privacy, and this guy seems to have a good approach to company drug testing. Even if you end up peeing for them like a good boy or girl, this is a way you can make them think about what they’re doing, without appearing to be filthy lowlife drug-using scum. If they’re going to turn this once-great country into an armed camp full of nosy, distrustful pee-sniffers, let’s at least make ‘em work for it! I’m a computer consultant and have successfully fought the drug test question by reverse intimidation. I start asking questions that “they” aren’t prepared to answer. What is the name and address of the lab that will perform the… Read More
UAW Resists Drug Testing

Drug and alcohol abuse among autoworkers is emerging as a pivotal bargaining issue for Detroit automakers now renegotiating labor contracts with the United Auto Workers. The lingering problem of employee drug and alcohol abuse costs automakers millions of dollars a year in lost productivity, higher absenteeism, health care and employee turnover. Detroit automakers, like other companies and communities nationwide, continue to grapple for solutions. But the UAW opposes a common but more rigorous approach to the problem: random drug screening. “The safety of our employees is a top priority,” said Gordon Kettler, general director of global security for General Motors Corporation. “To help keep our work environment safe, GM has zero tolerance for drug use.” Automakers have resorted to undercover… Read More
Medication & Substances Causing False Positives

According to a report by the Los Angeles Times New Service, a study of 161 prescription and over the counter medications showed that 65 of them produced false positive results in the most widely administered urine test. Ronald Siegel, a psychopharmacologist at UCLA said, “The widespread testing and reliance on tell-tale traces of drugs in the urine is simply a panic reaction invoked because the normal techniques for controlling drug use haven’t worked very well. The next epidemic will be testing abuse.” Byrd Labs has in its possession an internal document from the Syva Company, makers of the widely used EMIT test. This document, leaked by a disillusioned company employee, lists more than 250 over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs that… Read More
Effectiveness of Laboratory Drug Testing

Urine tests are unreliable. The public is told that they are scientific. But in operation they can’t stand up to scrutiny. Don’t trust their results. A test of the testers conducted by the government’s Center for Disease Control in Atlanta found: “…one of thirteen labs given cocaine-spiked urine gave totally correct results. Five of thirteen failed to find the drug in any of 34 spiked samples each lab received. On the other hand, the labs somehow detected cocaine in as many as 6%, and amphetamines in tip to 37% of urine specimens that were ‘blank’ - those containing no drugs at all.” In the April 26, 1985 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Hugh Hansen reported… Read More
Types of Screens Being Used To Test For Drugs

EMIT This is the most widely used test by employers because of its low cost. More than 95% of employers use this as an initial test. Manufactured by the Syva company, its accuracy is so suspect that the company itself recommends a more refined GC-MS test to confirm positive results. Because many employers don’t want to spend the $100 to $150 dollars charged for the GC-MS, employees have been fired on the results of the EMIT test alone. Courts have ruled that repetition of the EMIT test does not constitute confirmation of a positive drug finding. This test does not measure drugs in the urine directly. Rather, a reagent is added to the urine sample to bind with the metabolite… Read More
Big Brother & Hair Follicle Drug Testing

When Jack Dufficy, warden for Pennsylvania’s newly built Pike County prison, began hiring correctional officers and other personnel, he insisted that they all take hair-follicle tests for drug use. Dufficy told the prison’s board of directors that it was a foolproof test to detect any of several drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines and PCP. “In a urinalysis test, if somebody cleanses their body by abstaining for four or five days, their use of drugs would not be evident. In a hair test, we can get a history of drug use for up to three months prior to the test,” he said. Hair-follicle testing is the new rage among the Big Brothers of corporate and government power to weed out… Read More
Hair Follicle Drug Testing

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. So the steelmaker hired Psychemedics Corp., a company that uses hair samples to test for drugs. With the Cambridge-based company’s system, Chaparral could learn if employees had used drugs within the past three months. And, Swain said, workers were happy to be spared the humiliation of urinalysis. By courting companies like Chaparral, Psychemedics is hoping… Read More
Drug Testing & Hemp Products

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. The Department of Transportation issued a policy guide to “never accept an assertion of consumption of a hemp food product as a basis for verifying a marijuana negative. Whatever else it may be, consuming a hemp… Read More
In The Time of the War on Drugs

Legend has it that in the five-thousand year history of marijuana, only one death has ever been attributed to the plant: Two smugglers were flying low over Floridian farmland back in the 1970s when they received a radio warning that the DEA. was waiting on the ground. They started dumping 20 pound bricks of Colombian bud out the airplane door and one of the bricks crashed through the roof of a farmhouse and pulverized a farmer who was kicking back, having a beer and watching TV. That small story, probably untrue, usefully illustrates two points. One, marijuana is benign. One death, however peripheral, in five millennia is not a bad record at all. Two, whatever harm that can be associated… Read More
How To Piss & Pass A Drug Test

Washing your system: how much water and for how long? In an emergency, you can start drinking water as soon as one hour before the test, 4-6 hours is recommended. There is no known universal dosage, but you should be urinating so often it is ridiculous. One drawback is that watery urine is produced. Sometimes urine is rejected on the basis of its color alone. Taking B-complex vitamins will help keep the urine yellow. Drinking vinegar does not work. Visine does not work. Concentrated urine works fine for those not sure about the integrity of a friends sample. Prepare ahead of time, directions are included. Niacin and Golden Seal have shown encouragement, but they are inconsistant. This urinator would not… Read More
