Cheaters Always Get Busted

Long Haired Freaky People Need Not Apply

As First Choice Drug Testing Collectors, our best weapon to thwart cheaters is not the temperature strip on the cup; it’s our “6th sense”. Over the years, we have developed an ability to sense when something is just not quite ordinary about how a donor is acting. It’s not just one thing and it’s not always the same behavior – cheaters all have different mannerisms and verbalizations that usually give them away before they even hand us their sample.

M'm! M'm! GOOD!

It never ceases to amaze me what donors will try to pass off as urine. We recently had a donor supply a sample that the collector (a mom and a pretty good cook) swears was chicken broth. I guess the color is somewhat similar, but the smell gave it away instantly! Perhaps she had gotten away with using chicken broth in the past at some other clinic. We hear quite often from cheaters that they’ve done drug tests for years and have never had a specimen rejected by a collector. They seem dumbfounded when we tell them that we cannot accept what’s in the cup and we discard it.

Jello and Gatorade

We recently had a donor come into our clinic that let us know he had to use the restroom NOW. There were a few customers ahead of him in line, so we allowed him to use the employee restroom. A few minutes later, it was his turn to urinate for the drug test. He mentioned to the collector that he REALLY needed to use the restroom even though he had urinated only a few minutes before. The collector asked him to fill the cup to the top. The donor not only filled the cup to the top but continued to urinate in the toilet for another minute or so. This gentleman was very hydrated, having urinated twice in 10 minutes.

An increasing number of individuals are now using Cannabidiol (commonly known as CBD oil) for sleep or pain relief. They’re interested in experiencing the health benefits of cannabinoids without the mind-altering effects associated with marijuana usage. CBD oils can be legally purchased at drugstores, convenience stores, and other outlets, and many individuals swear by them as a natural remedy. It should also come as no surprise that individuals who fail drug tests frequently claim that the results are a “false positive” because they use CBD oils for legitimate health reasons.
