You can take your kid to their PCP and have them order it from a lab
You will pay out of pocket for it, but it will be more accurate than something over the counter.
I think we paid about $350, but it was worth it.

Drug testing a child

What drugs are we talking about?

Not at 16. All drugs should be legal AND no kids that age should be allowed

I get what you are saying, and I don't want to speak for Rey, but my counterpoint is that the environment

That's kind of my feeling. No way do I want my kid smoking weed at 16.

I don't disagree with this. It's dependent on the kid and coming down hard isn't

And thinking about it better, I could see cases where testing could help.

I've watched it play out a few times

Definitely do not disagree on the need to parent and require accountability. Is random testing the way to do that?

Horrible advice for parenting a teenager.

Yeah, I read that and about died. King Bear is going to have some issues.

Kids make stupid mistakes. Some are lethal, others are merely stupid.
ReyOso

Sure. Don't disown your kid over it. But it's also not okay to let that stuff

I'm not talking about letting it slide.

What is a good solution in your opinion then?
CougarTailDevourer
2/24/21 9:14am
There often is not a good solution for a kid going off the deep end.
ReyOso

and that's putting it benignly.

Totally agree. Unless hard drugs, need a middle ground.

When my brother started out it was just alcohol and pot in his teens. This later

But if you get to the point of testing, you've already intervened, right?
ReyOso
2/24/21 9:07am
I don't know what the solution is to tell you the truth. But doing nothing is

Big increase in psychosis and schizophrenia among teens who smoke pot

They sell tests at Walmart. I've not used them though. My kid used off and on from 16-19 and the reality is, it's up

Better LSD than weed, and better weed than alcohol, according to studies.

You can take your kid to their PCP and have them order it from a lab

I read this "you can take your kid to get their PCP and...order it from a lab"

A friend had similar issues. His kid switched to LSD once they started testing, because LSD couldn’t be detected.

The efficacy of a urine test depends on the type of drug, but generally speaking

I used at home tests for our oldest. Also had breathalyzer at home

Because it's so commonly used, people forget how dangerous alcohol can be.

I was a juvenile probation officer for many years. We used urine tests.

Not as serious, but one of ours started smoking and claimed he was addicted.
