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.
We recently had a female donor give our collector a specimen that was quite warm, enough above the acceptable temperature that the collector did not accept it. The donor was informed that we could not accept what she had presented, and we put her on our water protocol.
We have written about return cheaters in the past – those that we’ve caught before and return just to get caught again. However, we recently had our first threepeat! A gentleman came in on the 5th of the month and presented us with a specimen we would not accept, and he left the clinic.
