It is a huge business out there drug testings AND a really HUGE business out 
there selling "preps" so that people will pass the tests.  I was in a local 
tatoo parlor (no, I wasn't getting a tattoo, they are they only place I can 
find cedar incense unless I want to drive all the way down to the coast) and 
I'm setting my stuff down when at the next cash register is this guy about 
40 buying this drink.  I don't think anything of it until the cashier says 
"that'll be $43.87."  I guess my mouth fell open cause when the guy walked 
out, the cashier explained that it was a drug test prep that folks drink a 
few hours before the test and then they get a "clean" test.  Wow!  Talk 
about a making the big bucks!

It occurs to me that drug testing is being pushed by companies that
sell drug-testing kits. I've only had to take one test -- when I
applied for a job as an editor for Battelle (I got the job). The
company paid for the drug test, ,but my personal doctor, who gave the
test, ranted for several minutes about what a waste of time and money
drug tests are.
