Well it’s the right thread now.

Bet that’s got a great amino acid profile…

Will it be screened for drugs?

Yep - it’s the only milk 100% bioavailable for a growing human. Often NICUs will use donated breast milk for preemies due to the nutrition/acquired immunity aspects.

And yes it gets tested. Similar to egg donation and surrogacy, you go through a rigorous screening.

I bet human breast milk would make a nice cheese, like a ricotta.

It would probably make a wonderful cannoli.

Have you tried the Beth? Hints of vanilla with a bit of nuttiness. Goes particularly well with the Malbec.

lol

Do they pasteurize breast milk?

and?[/quote]

Then the OP could say he went to Colorado to smoke marijuana outside his work hours and that’s why he was positive. Or that he was in a public place with people smoking marijuana around him. If he didn’t do anything illegal then wouldn’t be disqualified for a job because of it illegal?

If I take oxycontin or whatever medication (or my TRT lol) I was prescribed outside my work hours, what is the problem?[/quote]
No.

Like I stated before there are not proven results of the effects of THC hours/days after use.

Plus Oxycontin is a long acting opiate meaning the efficacy will still be in your system during working hours. Short acting opiates may be used off hours as long as the efficacy is past the half life.

TRT does not have effects on mental abilities or function.

Do companies that hire care about people that take drugs like Valium?[/quote]
I think you would need to clarify what you mean?

Do they care if an employee is working under the influence of Valium? Yes
Do they care if an employee uses Valium to help sleep at night? As long as it is signed off and cleared by their PCP that they are only taking it at night then that is fine.
Do they care if an employee uses Valium to control Anxiety? Yes again as signed off by the Dr. With things like? How long have they been on Valium? How often are they required to take Valium? Does the employee understand that if he takes the medication he is going home for the day. [/quote]
Ahh, i see, thanks for answering.

I use breast milk in my coffee.

A friend of mine was hired by a company that does the hair test about 5 or 6 years ago.

He said he had smoked like 2 months prior to the test and used some special shampoo that he found on an internet site to pass the test and complete the hiring process.

I don’t know if it’s true, but he doesn’t seem like the type from other experiences to make up stories.

For what it’s worth.

If you shave all your hair, they’ll fail you, don’t shave all your hair. If it’s a hair test (unless the shampoo is an actual thing that DOES work) I don’t think there’s anything you can do to clear it from your hair short of letting time pass.

So basically, you’re probably screwed if it’s a hair test.

Pray that it isn’t or find a legitimate way to stall until the proper time has passed (death in the family that requires a month-long trip out of town, religious time of the year that prevents you from being tested or separating parts of your body, hair included, etc., come on get creative, I can’t do all the thinking).

The company website or papers that you signed during the interview/application process may confirm what kind of testing that they do so you can at least find out and plan accordingly. Or if you know someone who already works there and is trustworthy, ask them.

Hows that answer Derek? You’re the expert.

My guess is the shampoo your friend used didn’t do shit. My bet is a one time usage doesn’t imbed enough of whatever indicator they test for to trigger a positive result.

Sorry, I should clarify, he was a regular smoker up until that point. I’m not sure if he did it every day, but it wasn’t just once.

Do these tests indicate the concentrtaion/quantity of drugs in the system or just positive/negative?

-If the test is going to show you just have trace amounts in the system then I would bite the bullet and be honest with the manager that you had a few puffs a couple months ago as a silly one time thing. I would say your chances are evens they don’t give a shit about weed.

There are threshold levels for each test, either determined by the company hiring or the consortium that oversees the testing. A hair test is going to be able to differentiate between “I smoked this weekend” vs. “I was around my friends who smoked this weekend”.

Wear a wig ?

I was going to suggest a Whizzinator, but remembered that this was not a piss test.

Hmm It’s kinda interesting that 1 picogram is required for a positive test but then only .1pg is required for confirmation. This kinda implies that you might be able to get away with a little bit of usage. I wonder how much usage it takes to hit the 1pg level.
