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.
