[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 511150"] Well we ordered some pretty good tests similar to what you describe on line. I have mixed feelings about home drug testing at this point. We did it for quite a while and it gave us i think a false sense of reassurance. We found out later that he had been getting around the drug tests for a while in various ways... including peeing in a bottle when he was clean and saving it.... ICKY...There are also things you can take that you can get online that can help you beat them... and there are plenty of things that dont stay in your system long. And things the drug tests don't even test for such as LSD. I think one reason my son got into spice is that at the time it didnt show up on the drug tests and pot did.... and yet spice is more dangerous than pot. Same with robitussen. There is a home kit to test for spice now but I do think it is a separate test and may be pretty expensive. My suggestion is really to look at his behavior, motivation and those other issues. You will drive yourself crazy with trying to drug test him, or determine if he is using or not... and he will get smarter and smarter in finding ways to convince you that he is not. Hugs.... I have been there and done that and maybe this is one more step in your process.... but from my experience home drug testing turned out not to be very useful..... now the drug testing in other venues makes some sense.
