The time on the clock slowly tics away the seconds as a 17 year old boy frantically sits in the lobby of the local probation office. With an eye drop bottle full of a yellow liquid he paid $45 plus tax for taped to his inner-upper thigh, the boy awaits his impending urinalysis.
This is the story in nearly every city in every state. Synthetic urine is being used by drug users to dupe drug tests for all kinds of reasons. From probation to employment to pregnant mothers, urine screens are used every day to determine what people have in their system. Some sources say up to 30% of all submitted tests show signs of being tampered with or falsified.
An article on Oregon Live this week talks about a construction contractor who switched his drug tests from “instant” to “lab” tests. When the contractor started receiving the test results back he noticed a large sum of specimens didn’t even contain urine.
From smelling specimen to shaking them and looking for foam (foam is an indication of synthetic urine), urine test laboratories are doing whatever they can to determine weather or not submitted specimen are real.
The market for “detox” and other products to pass urine screens when dirty is huge. Almost every head shop sells items such as “Urine Saliva Blood” and “Vale” which are supposed to mask drugs from the users urine, and sales of these products is through the roof. Most of these products come with warranties that guarantee a clean result, but also state that they are not for use with urine screens right on the package.
One of the most popular items on the detox market right now is the Whizzinator, a fake penis attached to a heated reservoir that holds synthetic urine. These have been popping up all over as people try to get away with being dirty for probation and parole.
Drug testing is, has been, and always will be a cat and mouse game between tester and test-ee. As laboratories continue to search for signs of fake urine, the companies making the solvents will continue to make more realistic substances. Be warned though, all of the current detox products and fake urine can be detected with current laboratory tests. The best way to pass a drug screen is to clean out!
