[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 532071, member: 13882"] Vligrl, My difficult child tried the old, "you can test me in 14 days" business on us, and here's what we did. When he said that, we didn't say yes or no. That night,husband bought a multi-drug urine test at CVS. He woke difficult child up early the next AM and told him to get up, do this urine test, and husband stayed in the bathroom with him. When difficult child protested and said, "I told you to test me in 2 weeks," husband said I know what you told ME, and I'm telling YOU I want a baseline reading of what you've been doing recently. Going forward, I will test you randomly, whenever I see fit, and if you don't agree, you may pack your things now. The reason for the baseline test is you send it back to the lab, and in app. 10 days, you call the number they give you on the box and you can get the nanograms of what, if anything, he tests positive for. So if he smoked pot, you will see a line on the cup that shows positive for THC, but you won't immediately know how much is in his system. If you don't do a baseline test, and 14 days from now husband tests him, difficult child can say, "well, that's still showing up from my use 3 weeks ago. I guess you guys better wait [B]another 2 weeks[/B], so my system will be really clean." You see where I'm going here? However, if you do a baseline now, you could compare the nanogram reading from this current test with the future test, and see if the numbers went up or down. That's how you can tell if he's really stopped using or slowing down, etc. [/QUOTE]
