Default Urinalysis Drug Tests

Urinalysis Drug Tests

Testing is most frequently performed on small samples of urine,
although hair, saliva, and blood can also be used. Urine samples are
collected by personnel under carefully controlled circumstances to
avoid mismatches resulting in false positives, and to prevent
adulteration of the specimen by the swapping of samples or the
addition of foreign substances. In particular, urine samples heavily
diluted with water can skewer results, and so highly diluted specimens
are routinely rejected. In certain legal cases involving individuals
known to be repeat drug offenders, personnel are usually required to
witness the sample being provided in order to ensure that no
adulteration has taken place.

Samples can be tested at the same site in which they were provided.
More frequently, it is shipped to a large facility that specializes in
mass-testing specimens. Care must be taken in shipping to ensure the
integrity of the specimen, and those that indicate contamination are
not processed. A special tamper-proof seal is routinely placed on
bottles to indicate whether or not this has occurred.

A urinalysis test is then run to indicate the presence of various
chemicals within the sample. This initial procedure is known as the
screening test. A positive result for any of the substances marked for
testing will result in the sample being run for a confirmation test.
In this case, more advanced and expensive processes are used to ensure
the validity of the positive result. A common process used in this
second stage is GC/MS (gas chromatography/mass spectometry) in which
the sample is analyzed at a molecular level for the specific substance
that tested positive in the screening; GC/MS is known to be highly
reliable.

Legalize and control Pot. The dumbest thing in the world is
allowing LIQUOR at AIRPORTS but crucifying pot smokers

I have been slammed drunk on tequila and high as a kite on
pot during my brain dead youth

IF? in an extreme life saving emergency had to fly situation
in IFR in one of those stoned conditions it would be POT
hands down.

Neither should be tolerated in the cockpit but drug LAWS
should not be worse on society than the drugs themselves.

Marijuana is not as bad as booze. You will FALL ASLEEP way
before you get as physically incapacitated as liquor and
beer. I have seen people ****ing drunk ready to conquer the
moon and climb in the cockpit.

People who are high on marijuana eat and talk about religion
and Pluto. If they do drive its up the road to Dairy Queen
and they will not go over 30 miles an hour

LEGALIZE MARIJUANA or get rid of Liquor. What you have now
going on in America regarding MARIJUANA is a MASSIVE SCAM.

While legalizing recreational drugs has many potential merits, no such drug
should be allowed when flying or otherwise operating a vehicle in public or
with passengers.

Not that it will ever matter one jot if you were to down a fistful of
ecstacy tablets, then.


Please do, BTW. Not that anyone will notice any change in your behaviour

Frankly, your diatribes against him are tiresome and more irritating
than his posts. Please stop.

Bertie used to be pretty interesting and colorful. Now he is
indistinguishable from the village idiot.

I agree. I say 24 hours from bottle to throttle not 8.

What I do on Friday night is nobody's business. What I do
right before getting in the left seat on Monday is
everybody's business.

We don't need Government to tell us that we need peer
pressure. If you smoke pot or get liquored up

STAY HOME

I consider 24 hours a minimum; or, more specifically, however long it takes to
get 0.00 alcohol on a blood test (as opposed to a specific time limit).

Yes, as long as you don't get so drunk on Friday that you still have alcohol
in your blood on Monday. The same applies to other drugs that might impair
the pilot (not just recreational or illicit drugs, although those are the most
important problem).
