5 Ways Teens Might Cheat on Drug Tests—and How to Catch Them

Kid's (females) if they know a test by parent is near ...say mom test's sally every friday when she get's home from work. If test good then Sally gets to have fun over weekend, or if mom makes those weekly tests on sunday night after the full weekend of fun....either way, if they have their drug tests on a schedule kids can get around it if they have a mind to. It's pretty simple really. Those drug clean tests don't always work but clean urine does. For females it is as simple as putting in a extra large tampon size pill bottle full of their clean urine they got from themselves when clean, or someone else who is clean. They then will store it or just might have gotten on the way in the front door! They have to make sure the urine is warm not cold when given unless mom or dad doesn't like to touch the container the sample is given into. The kids just wrap the top of the pill bottle with foil and wrap a rubber band around it very tight so it doesn't leak. If they long or jagged nails they just prick the foil when time.......thats if they are being watched. If not they just carry it into the bathroom via their body cavity they have pants over. who's to suspect a thing? They can get clean urine almost anywhere if they try hard enough. If you are gonna test...do it random! I say if you know & PAY ATTENTION to your kids and his or her friends, that's enough to let you know if they are using drugs or not. Isolation, or just hanging out with a couple bad news kids, grades falling in school, moodiness,skipping school, dropping out from usual activities, staying up all night, ton's of energy followed by a couple days of sleeping. anything that's not your childs normal pattern is a warning sign somethings up!

I myself am raising my 15 year old nephew who I just found to be smoking Pot in my home, so to me it does not matter what you say. We plan on doing random drug tests,

Read your post and must mention a few facts.

Poppy seeds would show as pot in system,

A person would have to eat handfuls in order for it to show.

If a parent/Guardian makes sure that there are no cleaning products in the bathroom, how will they be able to "Cheat" ?

2. Water-loading- If the test is done random, how can they water load? They cannot that is My point, that is why a test is called "Random" Just like a woman who thinks she might be pregnant, if the test is done first thing in the morning that is when the Urine is more concentrated.

Lastly, most parents would give there teen the test and stand by the door waiting, not to walk away and make a big breakfast while he pours bleach on his hands lol..

With the new tests on the market they can now show someone using not only pot, but pills ect.

Yes I will make sure to get best test I can find as well as taking direction from an addiction specialist.

My question to Lindsay Lyon is do you have children?

Have you experienced your child or teen using drugs or are you just writing a story to get a paycheck?

imho It is articles like this that teens and even adults look at to see how to cheat, what you are doing in my opinion is helping the user not the concerned Parent/Guardian.

As many parents that I have shown this link to, they all feel the same way, you are way off and do not know enough about drug use in this country and should get a bit more educated prior to writing something that you have not checked all the detailed facts IMHO.

What a waste of time and energy. Don't kill one more brain cell, stop putting that filth in your body.

Wait, so if u put a drop of bleach in your urine you will be clean of all drugs on the drug test? Even Mary Jane, that takes a long time to get out of your system.
