Anybody have any experience with these? Walgreens lists a number of them but I don't have any frame of reference --- is it worth it to pay a little bit more? Alcohol and marijuana are the likely items to surface.

The First Check tests are accurate, provided there's no cheating. We used to alternate between the $18 marijuana-only test and the $34 pot-coke-meth-hydrocodone tests, but only ever detected pot. That is, until teenage SS started cheating the test (using pee from someone clean). You can search for my prior posts on this. Good luck.

Thanks. I resent having to even post about this stuff, but I am unwilling to live in ignorance. The local cop-shop is right down the road and I'm more than happy to take a youngster to have a 'chit-chat.' Consequences of behavior for all of us.

http://www.drugtestyourteen.com/home..... this is for everything

I only used the 5-in-one drug test kit at home, with some pee, but these snots are clever, you have to watch them pee in the cup, any clean sterile glass would do.... if they pee behind a closed door they add water and your test is not working... nope you stand and pee with your back to me, I will stand in the door and monitor that you do not use some one else's pee or add water.

Alcohol, I never tested cause you can smell it a mile away but we use these on the mine here on Mars

Unfortunately there's not a test that will do alcohol and drugs....

about the pee test.... we had a guy here who brought pee from home cause he knew we would pick up the weed lol... he will not be fired just probation and not be able to drive cause he was a office worker not out in the mine, well Mr went to pee, yes open door back turned and male security watching.. it was a bit funny cause the pee was not really warm in the cup, well they tested it drug test said nothing, the doctor decided to go further, cause the pee was already cold, and the pregnancy test came out positive Biggrin Biggrin ( this guy got pee from his wife, they did not know she's pregnant, their last kid was about 16 years old) The doctor told him... Oh I see you stopped smoking pot week-ends, good thing cause you are pregnant and left the room lol...

Amazing the things we learn.

SGD-14 needs to be on birth control & drug/alcohol-tested. (SM with a squeal: "Oh, but she's only had 2 pregnancy scares and we don't believe in birth control.") Honestly. Cannot afford sliding scale Medicaid healthcare, but can afford beer and cigarettes. Tatto-laden, gauge-eared, stomach-stapled, Emo-channeling SM who is NOT, as reported, a National Geographic employee, extolls retro-style Christianity. Christianity holds truths, but this group has a weird variation: SM married BD of SGD-14 in a bar, dressed as Frankenstein/Bride-of with Elvis/preacher doing the vows.

Just makes me want to smack myself silly. I am being judgemental in the sense that I am attempting to describe the reality that I see, which seems farcical.

BTW: Ex-DH just sent BS-15 an email about authenticity and integrity. Seriously. Oh, hang on to my friggin' holy knickers. This upon receipt of the notification that I will be testing BS-15 as well. Testing BS because ... well, he's either trying to blow up his life or, he's merely pursuing man's search for meaning. FFS. Raising kids is like trying to herd feral cats sometimes.

I would not worry about GSD - I mean she's really not family and well if she gets knocked up, not taking her in and not paying a blue cent to them.
Alternatively, take her to the doctor every 2 months for a "vitamin" shot seeing you have no problem with her smoking and drinking Wink

BS15 - that's when I started testing mine as well.... cause he had the wrong friends and yes typical boy.. he wanted to be in and macho... thus he smoked weed, poor snot, came home high and I immediately tested him, was a faint line indicating not user but might have been in contact...
he had such a freight he never tried again till after his 18th birthday, cause he know me, and well 18 he's an adult he can do what he wants, I have no say and he knows the consequences of drugs on Mars... highly illegal, you can kill/rape some one and get out on 50$ bail and year probation, but get caught with drugs (or do not pay your TV license) 5 years jail...

I only tested him when he acted weird, moody, suddenly had the munchies and drank allot of milk.... then I would say, mmmm come along, pee time...
thus he never knew when I was going to test, Milk flushes it out and if your kid is not a huge milk drinker, but suddenly want to drink 2 glasses a night it's a dead sign

oh weed smokers knows it all lol...... have seen it all with the compulsory testing on the mine... mostly week-end smokers, Sunday they start drinking milk by gallons, Monday they are clean.... we do not have coconut milk...

guess water would do the same, flush out the system, I know Citrosoda works like a charm Wink
Weed is any way not detectable after 24 hours if you are an occasional smoker... but a constant smoker... takes to 72 hours of no smoking before the tests show's negative results...

lol... good to know... I guess... I don't smoke weed. I have, a handful of times in past years... but I just can't handle it. I just sit there, giggle like a moron, stuff my face, and eventually pass out. I have better things to do.
