Fake urine allows addicts, users to cheat drug tests

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Drug abuse continues to leave a tragic trail.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 70,237 people died from drug overdoses in 2017 alone.

Drug abuse is also expensive, The Council of Economic Advisors estimates the cost of the opioid crisis in 2018 cost $696 billion in the value of lost lives, as well as increases in health care and substance abuse treatment costs, increases in criminal justice costs, and reductions in productivity.

That’s why so many corporations and businesses rely upon drug tests of new and current employees. But that system works only if the tests are reliable.

A Local 12 Investigation examined a popular product that experts say allows addicts and users to cheat on urinalysis (UA), the most common type of drug test, which doctors say could lead to deadly outcomes.

MAYBE STOP TESTING FOR WEED WHEN ITS RECREATIONALLY LEGAL

[jamespitts]

I like how they label everyone an addict if they fail a drug test lmao.

[chrisadams]

If a person shows up on time and does a good job leave them the fuck alone

[MrNick-ogqm]

You shouldn’t be required to take a drug test for any reason until mayors, governors, senators, congress, and the president start taking their OWN drug tests with public results

Ridiculous. Since you want to fail a grown adult for marijuana you should do the job yourself then. A lot of these hard laborers jobs need a little marijuana after work. This country wouldn’t survive if it wasn’t for hard-working Americans that Tok up before bed!

“Its a life and death issue” nobody had ever overdosed on marajuana jesus christ.

Wow. Imagine being okay with alcoholics working for you, but not a “pothead”. One of the only drugs that stays in pee for more than a week, which is why it’s the only type of “drug addicts” who get caught. Pathetic. I am in nursing school and I am so pissed that I am not allowed to smoke, but classmates can come in hungover.

Drugs don't ruin lives... drug tests do

[banahjaray]

Cheating in politics is far worse and dangerous

[jmill]

Might as well just call them thc tests because that’s really all they’re good for. Nearly everything else is out within 2-4 days.

[bmanrandom]

Well, they should really quit testing for cannabis... Its what most are worried about and why these synthetics are made

[bisherie]

Dr.Laura was so damn sad the fake piss worked 😂 I loved that little sigh before her shpeel ‼️ No one would have to use fake piss if y'all stopped treating WEED like CRACK

[brooke]

Thank you for showing us that it will work! 🥰 My ‘addict’ self will keep this in mind for my upcoming pre job drug test because I use cannabis that is legal in my state! Meanwhile y’all got people coming into work still drunk from the night before but that’s all good

[adamben-shimon]

Since marijuana is legal in so many States, it should not be tested. We should treat weed like we treat alcohol.

[HelplessTeno]

"It's reprehensible" - That's hilarious. People can be drunk and you'd never know, but if someone tests positive for THC because they smoked a joint 2 weeks ago they should be barred from being in the workforce. Makes sense.

[mikedagostino]

I bought quick fix based on this video….its literally a commercial for this product with a real world test🤣🤣

[BuckMasterOutdoors]

If they stopped testing for THC most people wouldn’t even need this

[RussJennings]

So glad to see that there are ways around stupid bosses and their pointless BS. If I'm good at my job, then what does it matter what I smoke on the weekend?
And if I'm not good at my job, you don't need a pee test to fire me.

[kevinkev]

Its reprehensible that employers can control our lives outside of work.

[NovaScooch]

I hate that doctor. If she has kids, I hope they don’t get into college.
