Drug testing myths

[iBaked]

Good one Jones, that might be why that why that esteemed document is starting to smell like crumpled pages of a Sear's Catalog in an abandoned outhouse, too many politicos wiping their ass with it on a regular basis. Class 101, how to get elected to public office in the US. Step 1) Read the Constitution Step 2) Ignore or selectively choose what is relevant to you Step 3) Start a media blitz in order to circumvent or erode the basic foundations the country was established upon. JustSayin!

Those are all federal banned. Nothing legal is going to get caught on a test like that.

any kit will be outdated in months if not sooner. They probably won't be able to catch up very easily.

A urine test will likely show up as positive for the 7 banned magic sprinkles even if you are using current post-ban sprinkles because the backbones and the  the metabolites are the same.  A saliva test is looking for the actual sprinkle and is more discriminating--in other words, the saliva test is less likely to show positive for one of the banned sprinkles than the urine test, or even the more extreme example the blood test.

The home test based on a saliva swab is less likely to show a false positive for a banned sprinkle.

That being said, however, the lab rat conducting the test may look at the results and look at what the computer identifies as a spike on the chromatogram and decide the chemical is "close enough".  If the test is looking for a specific chemical (like the bad 7) and the lab rat is ethical, the saliva test will not likely be a false positive.  If they are looking for a pass/fail, the test might indicate exposure with a metabolite.  In any case, always deny and ask for another test--that test will definitely look for specific sprinkles and it will more than likely show up as negative.

FAQ

What are synthetic cannabinoids?

Synthetic cannabinoids are chemical compounds that
mimic the effect of THC, the principle active ingredient
of cannabis. Like THC, they bind to cannabinoid
receptors in the brain and were initially developed as
therapeutic agents for the treatment of pain. However,
these psychoactive research chemicals are frequently
being sprayed on herbal mixtures and sold as “fake
weed” or “synthetic marijuana.” Initially, JWH-018
and JWH-073 were the two most common synthetic
cannabinoid chemicals found in a variety of herbal
smoking blends. Others like AKB-48, UR-144 and
XLR-11 have started appearing in newer synthetic
cannabinoid products and preparations.

Will a standard drug test detect
synthetic cannabinoids?

Conventional drug test panels will not detect the broad
range of synthetic cannabinoids. They pass undetected
in standard oral fluid testing for such drugs as cocaine,
marijuana, heroin and amphetamines. RTL’s oral fluid
synthetic cannabinoid Test can be ordered with your
standard panel to ensure detection of the current range
of synthetic cannabinoids.

I know my job only does 5 panel. I accidentally wrecked my work van a couple weeks ago only a couple days after partaking synthetics. It's a well known company too...
