If You Are Going to Cheat On Your Drug Test... Be Prepared to Face The Consequences!

Federal Agents in Pittsburgh recently targeted Sharp Labs out of Port Orange, Florida for producing materials that were claimed to help individuals pass their drug tests. Sharp Labs owned and operated by Stephen Sharp will be facing money laundering, fraud and drug charges. The Pittsburgh-Post Gazette is reporting that Sharp Labs sold an instant drink mix that could be used to mask urine used in federal drug screens.

In October, a report out of Nashville, TN brought to light the use of synthetic urine for cheating drug tests. The fake urine is manufactured and sold in novelty and gag shops and is the newest weapon that drug users are turning to to defeat drug testing.

A report out of Illinois this fall describes how an individual was planning to cheat on his urine drug test. By strapping a condom of another person's urine to his leg and using a hidden razor blade to cut the condom and access the urine is how Justin Head planned on passing his drug test. Head was caught even before he was able to enter the testing area. He was arrested when an official in the probation department caught him with a piece of razor blade he had smuggled into the courthouse in his mouth.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 21.4 percent of employed adults used illicit drugs within the past month. Results from the 2014 Quest Diagnostics Drug Testing Index™ (DTI) show that, in the general U.S. workforce, random urine drug test positivity rates are higher (5.7 percent) than they are for pre-employment (4.0 percent) or periodic (1.6 percent). Random or “spot” drug testing works as a drug use deterrent because these programs are conducted in an unannounced and unpredictable manner.
