I was not a collector. I was a salesman (yes, I sold my soul, but it was either that or no food on the table, and I have a kiddo to take care of). Unfortuantely, almost every place that does drug collection is monitored and controlled by the DOT. They have tons of regulations to follow (US government? Regulations? Imagine that). If someone was caught switching piss, not only would there be firing, but charges. The reason is this:

Say you were a trucker who got pinned for a random test. You go in and get tested, and test positive. Now say your lawyer found out that a collector, may not have been your collector, but can you say reasonable doubt? A good lawyer could get every single test thrown out for as long as teh collector worked there. This is why there are stiff penalties and stiff training (brainwashing) for collectors.

Another thing. Specimin collection is normally the starting point for people who want to become Nurse Assistants/RNs. These people generally have that school taught "drugs are bad, mmmkay" mentality. They may not like their jobs, but you can kiss any chances at a "career" goodbye if you have a tampering charge on your record.

While I would have LOVED to help a fellow toker out, I was not in a position to have much affect. What else was hilarious is of the 50 people that worked there, EVERYONE I knew smoked. Kind of shows you the hypocracy of the whole thing.

As for me hanging out, I have really enjoyed by brief stay here and have receveived a warm welcome from my fellow "pot heads". Thank you for your hospitality, and I plan on staying. This is a nice community you guys have going here.

Also, just in case anyone was wondering, I am not longer in the drug testing racket. I am actually a systems engineer, which is what my true passion is. The sales thing is always safe to fall back on in the event of unemploymentness.
