It’s not unusual for some drug users who seek employment or are subject to random testing to keep clean urine and/or adulterants on them during work or while seeking a job. For these folks, putting these substances in their pocket or purse is a part of getting dressed every morning like you and I might carry a pocket knife or lipstick.
CBD oils can be purchased legally almost everywhere, but we frequently encounter individuals who claim their failed drug tests are a “false positive” because they use Cannabidiol (CBD oil) for legitimate health reasons. CBD oil is becoming increasingly popular for chronic pain relief, and many individuals claim that it offers the health benefits of hemp and cannabinoids without the mind-altering effects associated with marijuana usage. Many individuals enjoy using natural remedies in addition to or in place of prescription medication, but will CBD oil make you fail a drug test?
Young people are always concerned about “fitting in,” and even the most trustworthy teens can easily wind up at places where their peers are experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Every parent wants to believe they can trust their kids to make good decisions, but it’s difficult for them to do when they see their friends having what they believe to be a little “harmless fun.” According to the CDC, two-thirds of all high school students have tried alcohol, and half have tried marijuana. Close to 20% of all teenagers have abused prescription medication, and children between the ages of 12-20 years old consume 10% of all alcohol sold in the United States. Those numbers are pretty frightening, but First Choice is here for parents who don’t want their children to become another statistic!
We recently had a donor give us a urine sample that we could not accept – if you read this blog regularly, you know it’s “same story, different day”. The donor was very emphatic that the specimen did come from his body and pressed the collector to tell him what logic we used to determine this was not his urine. As a collector, we have the right to reject any specimen for any reason. First Choice collectors are taught to simply reply, “we don’t believe it came out of your body.” We teach this response so as not to educate cheaters what methods and senses we use to determine why we believe the specimen did not come from their body.
