7 Reasons Parents Should Not Test Kids for Drug Use

Drug Testing is Best Left to Professionals

Drug testing is becoming more and more prevalent in a lot of places these days. There are a lot of drug testing solutions these days, from instant drug tests, to lab results verified by Medical Review Officers (MRO). There are also facilities that help habitual drug users quit their habit. However, nothing beats prevention, and for most people, home is where it starts. These poor folks did all they could. If someone wants to beat a drug test really bad, they may be able (not always) to succeed for a short while before getting caught - but even still, look at the price of that!

crazy

Pot is illegal, like it or not. If its illegal you don’t do it bottom line. I do random drug test on my kids much like my company does on it employees. I f you don’t check you don’t know. Kids are smart and retain a lot of information on a daily basis but have no idea how to use this information and it’s our jobs as parents to help them. We all have lied to our parents one time or another but that doesn’t mean you tell you children it okay I know your going to lie anyway. Its our job to be protectors and guide our children through the steps with expectations out of them after all there suppose to be better version of our selves that go on to not make the same mistakes we did. So parents don’t listen to this guy keep in your kids business let them think your always there it what were suppose to be doing.

Pot isn't all that bad

You guys are all crazy about this stuff I get tested by my parents. Go for it smoke weed you can still pass a drug test my parents watch me piss and I still pass. Its not that I'm a bad kid or let alone just as sober as all of you i smoke pot 3-4 times a week and love it. I don't drink alcohol, smoke cigs, or do anything else. People just need to quit freaking out about a little pot. I went to rehab also for a 1yr for everything else and afterwards all i do is smoke pot and nothing else so quit judging and quit drinking everyone out there hating on it. Drinking was a ILLEGAL too back in the early years and congressman were still doing it. So chill out.

drugs

i think that if you want to do it then do its you own fault no one ealses.

Testing

I do understand we can be tricked by the kids but if you are just as smart as a teen you can out smart them watch them go to the bathroom to a point....Buy the test that has a ton of items to test for...Also its not for them to stop doing the drugs...Yes we want our kids to stop but face it no one can just stop if they have been using for some time...We are just tiring to make it much harder for them to use knowing they will be getting random tests done NOT knowing when the test will be is more SSSSSSSSthan you know. They are scarred to use thinking that they will be caught...

Have a plan what will happen if the test comes up positive...if it does the first time No going out for say a week or two if it happens again just add some time on or take away the CELL PHONE, TAKE THE CAR AWAY...add some more chores on make them spend more time with you take there stereo away I don’t know only some suggestions on how to and what to do if it comes up positive...

I know the test for the many drugs are a bit expensive but its worth it to at least to try and save your Childs life...

Don’t tell them that you did all of this thinking it will not want them to do it that only wants them to try it more or do what Dad or Mom did I did that one I have a friend that that told there child all the stupid stuff they did low and behold there child did it I told them NO that isn’t good keep your kids young as long as you can it better that way in anyway you can talk to them maybe they just might be honest...

I know from Personal Experience my daughter was so scarred that I was going to test her...I had told her every other day or something to that... I was going to test her I could see the fear in her eyes to see her panic and then stay in... That she didn’t use as much she told me she was scarred

Mickey told me she knew I would want that door open when she takes the test I am not stupid I Know what they do she told me what her friends did they go and ask kids for urine and then put it into a tub but first they got to run hot water under it if your street smart enough you can figure out what is what its not that hard to see the poured urine vs. the real stuff...

I don’t know if I could do that it may come to that I surely Hope Not...

abusing drugs.

i think many kids just abuse drugs beacuse they hear about it, many kids don't enjoy it they are just doing it for a way to fit in and parents need to watch for that before they loose there child.

i agree with melanie old fashion parenting parent's have been doing at home drug tests for thousands of years

Drugs are not harmless !!!

Have you ever been addicted to anything? Then you should know that you´ll spend your day finding excuses to do it.

Marihuana, alcohol, tobbaco, crack, cocaine, etc are harmful substances that wreck lives.

Legalization will not solve the problem of addiction. It will probably help with the toll death in Mexico and other producing countries, but not the tons of people who quit their jobs, abuse on their families and basically do anything for drugs.

Do not kid yourselves. Drugs are harmful, really. If you don´t beleive me, try some crack and see if you could quit after 2 weeks. Before doing it please de aware you could be hooked and your life destroyed.

Pot

John of Pa, you must have skipped English class when you were smoking the pot or you would know that there own path would be "their" own path. First of all, it's ILLEGAL or is everyone forgetting that, and the penalties nowadays are much more severe. Try being sober and living life; if you are running away from something, fix it. Have respect for your body and call me at 50 when you get lung cancer. Man, grow up.
