If it is for employment, hardly any collector is going to call the polices if they catch you, it's just too much trouble. If it is for probation you can bet your ass the judge will find out. Wouldn't want to be caught by and government child and family service either (custody cases, etc).

The last time I really heard of anyone getting in trouble was some idiot or idiots stopped at a gas station and nuked a whizzinator in their microwave. The way the write about it in the news they make it sound like the whizzinator exploded with such force the microwave flew into the air and landed on the ground. What is closer to actuality is the "bladder" got too hot and the liquid popped it and it went all over the inside of the microwave. They were charged with vandalism or something similar (who wants that microwave now huh) and made stupid criminal news everywhere.

No, these states aren't adding additional tests to look for synthetics. Look at how many people use it and have posted their successes here. It's a game between the labs (you think they don't know about Quick Fix, etc) and the makers of these synthetics as each tries to stay ahead of the other. The markers will update their formulas to stay ahead of the labs when the labs add new tests (across the boards, not just in one state). Creatinine clearance is mainly used to detect dilution but when they started testing for it, Quick Fix updated their formula from 3.0 to 4.0. That's just one example.

Thank you very much for getting back to me, and thank you for the insight. Some of you guys on this site are truly a wealth of much needed information. And I am not alone in sincerely saying thank you for taking the time to come on here and help out us less-knowledgeable folks.

I didn't think the labs are analyzing for synthetics given the number of success stories I've read about on here. But I believe the anxiety of this test is getting to us, it's to the point where we are clearly over thinking it and most likely over stressing it.

It is a employment analysis, so in reality the worst case scenario is the job just doesn't work out. There is no fear of jail, loss of children etc.... But that said, it is a good position, one which my wife would truly like to have, and there is nothing wrong with being well prepared and having a good understanding of the process and possible problems she may encounter. Having the correct knowledge is a big part of being successful.

It really is unfortunate that having a trace amount of THC in your body from mild indulgences nearly a month ago, can have such effect on your ability to obtain a job, after all the resume and cover letter writing, weeding out of literally hundreds of applicant, stresses of multiple interviews and reference checking your fate can come down to something as silly as this. But what can you do, it is what it is....

Thanks again, we really appreciate your help.
