Drug Test Evasion Is Big Business
Drug testing by employers became popular in the 1990's. Since that time the FDA has approved over-the-counter drug tests making testing possible for anyone. Small businesses, parents, and even schools have all joined the ranks of people and institutions that conduct random drug testing. The proliferation of drug testing has made the selling of drug test evasion products big business.
​
Several companies feature products that are designed to create a false-negative for various types of drug tests. The most common types of drug tests are urine tests and hair follicle tests. Urine drug test products vary. Typically, it is either a product that you ingest or an artificial urine in some fashion. The artificial urine sold is either liquid or powdered. The powdered urine obviously needs to be reconstituted before use. Detoxifying shampoos are sold to pass a hair follicle drug test.
​
The efficacy, of any of these products listed, is always speculative as no accredited laboratory or FDA agency is going to admit that drug test can be successfully falsified. Even if a drug test can be successfully falsified, which surely some can, no testing facility will admit this weakness. However, every product will feature consumer claims of 100% efficacy. Unfortunately, if you are purchasing these products the consumer reviews will be the only resource you have for vetting that products effectiveness. The true effectiveness of the products results is a gamble that you will have to take when making that purchase.
​
Not only big business is making profits, bloggers are also cashing in on recipes for natural remedies. Several bloggers fill their sites with information on how to pass several different types of drug tests with remedies that can be made from household products. Some of the concoctions sound highly suspect and are surely just a scam. Other concoctions sound downright dangerous. The homemade hair follicle test remedies found the online sound more like hair removal cream recipes. Once again, there is no guarantee that any of these products actually work. The claims of effectiveness always seem like an urban legend and never verifiable through a first-hand knowledge source.
