well obviously they gave him a urine test and those things are always screwy. 2. you can eat an entire watermelon the day of a **** test and pass it, just FYI. I know the kid didnt do that and its irrelevant, just figured id throw it out there haha.

Back when I was a truck driver I knew several guys who smoked pot every single day and a couple who did pills. Only one ever failed a DOT drug test, even the ones that they had taken at the office without warning. Lots of tricks to passing a urine test. One guy even had a method of getting a single drop of bleach into the cup. he said it messed up the test results. He never failed one and he was a heavy daily smoker.

On the other hand, these zero tolerance policies in schools are stupid. They take common sense and throw it out the window. The kid should not have been suspended and should not have been required or felt it necessary to take a drug test. He should have been treated with some human decency and common test.

I think the last part is what R13 was saying. That common sense would have worked much better in this situation than suspending a kid.

what the hell? i had a post actually apologizing to R13 for once and it isnt on here... hmmmm there are unknown forces that just want me to argue with you man.

The kid went home for 2 hours. If they would have suspected the kid was using drugs and made him take a drug test without notifying his mom there would have been a uproar to. The kid may have been a good kid with ******* family that smoked around him. If the school folks really did smell weed on him for whatever reason they had to do something. I don't think the school people where doing anything with bad intent. They allowed him to clear his name. I think they did all right. Definitely worse horror stories than this in the world of zero policy


I also agree with Gotch on the zero tolerance policies read to many times about kids being suspended for having a pocket knife or some or ridiculous stuff.

Agree and disagree in todays world IF you do not have a firm set of rules in place and stick to them the next person that is sent home for a pending drug test has this case to point to as a bases for discrimination it comes down to 6 of one a half dozen of the other
