So, do they want to throw a parole back in jail? No. They more likely wish to deter you from going back to your old ways. Again, I have no facts to back this up other than my experience in the lab, cost for testing,etc. My guess is if they really do any testing at all it's the quick check (known as a "waived test" by CLIA) that anyone off the street can perform and that's expensive enough. Most employers use this. I'm job searching and I've only seen a few where they warn that hair folicle and urine by Mass spec will be performed to enable procuring a govt secret clearance. Does this make sense?
So would you or anyone know if there is an immediate way to know if a probation center has the ability to identify quick fix via 5 panel drug tests with adulteration kit or a simple cost efficient way to test for quick fix through lab methods? Any advice is appreciated. I'm starting to think quick fix might have been a bad idea. The only human sample I could use was from a 46 year old smoker and I don't know if they could distinguish his urine from an unrelated medical condition
