        Drug Testing While on Mail-in Probation?
       
                  
        I'm on probation but after my first visit he put me on mail-in. That means I don't go back to see the PO in person until the 6 month mark. He said that they do random drug testing and he warned me that they may test me when I go in for my 6 month appointment. What I'm wondering is if they could/would call me and have me come in for a random drug test while I'm on mail-in or if that's only something I need to worry about for the office visit. My offense had nothing to do with drugs or alcohol, but they did test me on my last office visit so I know they do it. And if they DID call me in, do you think it would be on the date that my probation fee is due (my mail-in appt date so to speak)? It's no big deal for me to stay clean for a few weeks leading up to the 6 month appt, but not being able to smoke for the next 4 months will be tough. Pot is the only thing that gives this insomniac a good night's rest. = (

        No, no specific date - it's random testing.
 
 I would find something else to help you sleep if you don't want to violate.

        They can call anytime and require you come in that day,  and/or even show up at work place or home and test you anytime.
 
 Try hot milk and taking a walk to go to sleep

        Hello sean:
 
 They probably aren't going to call you in...  But then, do you want to take that chance?

        I thought about your post, you state " only thing that can make you sleep"  not that you just enjoy it,  like getting high and so on.  That is a big difference.  If it is effecting your life, and effecting things you do, then it is an addiction  and you need to get it under control just for yourself.
