Pot drug screens

I'm seeing lots of kids with a pot problem. Contrary to the common belief, pot does not stay in your system for a month. Most teens are occasional users and can easily pass a drug screen within a few days. If you suspect your teen is smoking pot, drug screen early and often. My typical recommendation is to purchase several urine drug screens through a bulk supplier and test on Monday and Friday. There are multiple online retailers that will fill your order for just a few bucks per test provided you buy about 10 or more. Shop around for good pricing. If you are paying more than 5 bucks per test, check another site. There are simple tests for alcohol and tobacco as well. Most teens are going to lie about substance use if they can get away with it. Screening may be the only way a parent can be sure they know what's going on. Be mindful of headshops in town. They are selling multiple products that are labeled as "incense" but produce a potent high when smoked. Check your computer and child's phone for online ordering of products as well. A child who is rushing home to beat you to the mailbox is a sure sign of ordering one of these.
