    Its really all moot because the drugs were done... the test was taken... and what anyone thinks the results might be or not be... really has no bearing on what the actual lab test results will be. Because those are the only ones that matter. And should be back before much longer.

I doubt if Psychemedics is testing for anything below 100 for amphetamines which is the category for ecstasy.
    Its you who introduced your mental state and pointed out how big the consequences for failing are.

    They are part of the topic, even if you don't want to address them. So anymore questions?

    You didn't read my post if you're asking this question.

    They were, you shoo'd them off. Take responsibility for what you do. I am starting to think I am seeing some issues on your part, but it is neither here for there for me to say anything about it.

    Can't we all just get along, LOL. In regards to how frequently a drug has to be taken to show up in a hair test, for someone to be positive using the Limits of Detection (LOD) test they would have to be using a drug about 1-3 times a week. The LOD is the lowest cutoff levels. It is not zero tolerance but is as low as the lab can test for. If you search Psychemedics web site good luck finding any listed cutoff levels. All of our cutoff levels are listed on our web site. The is also a Basic Hair drug tes that has higher cutoff levels. A lot of employers use this test. In regards to my training. Most of my 15 years experience in the hair drug test business has been on the job training from many sources including the lab that does all of my hair drug test which is Omega Labs. I don't work for them. I am considered a third party administrator. I have worked with many law firms, Homeland Security, parole officers, public defenders and concerned parents. I have provided expert testimony in custody cases, murder cases and military tribunals. By the way I am a guy and not woman, no problem Craven. My moniker, mydogfifi, was our childhood dog.

    Not unusual at all for someone facing being tested to be really worried about failing those tests and wanting reassurance. The authority for the consequences are up to the authority ordering the tests, NOT the labs. There are usually several factors that go into these pass, or fail decisions, such as past history, judges orders, and guidelines if applicable, of the court or employer. The lab is but the investigative tool of detection.
