Frequently Asked Questions

If I think my child is using marijuana, should I buy a drug test kit, and randomly screen him?

Drug Action Network
We recommend against this practice. It creates a climate of distrust, far out of proportion to the actual danger posed by experimental or casual use of marijuana. This type of action buys into the "drug hysteria" that is rampant in our culture right now. Since Nixon started the war on drugs, use among teens has increased 7 times - and abuses of personal freedoms have risen by an order of magnitude.

This is a very difficult and complicated question. Using herb is probably, after the believe in the divinity of Haile Selassie, the most controversial subject in the relationship between Christians and Rastas. Unlike some of my evangelical brethren, I do not condemn the use of herb in itself. But having said that, I must stress the importance of a clear and conscious mind as well. I have seen many people that stopped using herb because it did not help them in their relationship with Jah.

How can I tell if my child has been using marijuana?

NTS: Resource Center
There are some signs you might be able to see. If someone is high on marijuana, he or she might seem dizzy and have trouble walking, seem silly and giggly for no reason, have very red, bloodshot eyes; and have a hard time remembering things that just happened. When the early effects fade, over a few hours, the user can become very sleepy. Parents should be aware of changes in their child's behavior, although this may be difficult with teenagers.

Critics claim that marijuana is a "gateway drug." How do you respond to this charge?

FAQ's - NORML
There is no conclusive evidence that the effects of marijuana are causally linked to the subsequent use of other illicit drugs. Preliminary animal studies alleging that marijuana "primed" the brain for other drug-taking behavior have not been replicated, nor are they supported by epidemiological human data. Statistically, for every 104 Americans who have tried marijuana, there is only one regular user of cocaine, and less than one user of heroin.

Is the DrugFree @ Home drug test kit accurate?

Substance Abuse Test
Yes. The instant kit does an excellent job of determining which specimens are negative, and which specimens need further analysis using GC/MS laboratory testing. The GC/MS laboratory analysis is the gold standard for drug testing. There is no better laboratory technology. You can be certain that if the laboratory reports the presence of drugs in a specimen, that drugs truly are present.

Which test should I have to screen for colorectal cancer?

Colon Polyps
Colon polyps usually do not cause symptoms unless they are larger than 1 cm (0.4 in.) or they are cancerous. The most common symptom is rectal bleeding. Sometimes the bleeding may not be obvious (occult) and may only be discovered after doing a screening test for blood in the stool called a fecal occult blood test (FOBT). Colon polyps usually do not cause pain or a change in bowel habits unless they are large and are blocking part of the colon.

If we do away with prohibition, what forms do you think drug regulation might take?

Drug Action Network
Harder recreational drugs could be regulated like hard liquor. And the very hardest drugs (i.e. the drugs with the highest physiological addiction rates, such as cocaine and heroin), would be regulated and distributed only by the government and directly to users. This distribution would seriously undercut, and virtually end, the black market for these drugs. This would greatly discourage the creation of new drug addicts.

Will exposure to passive marijuana smoke result in a positive marijuana test?

Newsletter : AlcoPro
Perhaps the most common excuse subjects give to explain their positive marijuana test might be, "I was around some people who were smoking pot." Research has shown, however, that casual exposure to marijuana smoke will not produce a positive test. A person really has to work at being exposed to "passive" smoke to create a positive test.

Can an employer drug test? What are the laws in my state regarding drug testing?

Working Partners for an Alcohol- and Drug-Free Workplace
First, it is important to note that the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) does not regulate the area of workplace drug testing. However, it recognizes that workplace alcohol and drug abuse creates significant safety and health hazards and can lead to decreased productivity and employee morale. Therefore, DOL’s Working Partners program encourages employers to develop drug-free workplace programs, which may or may not include drug testing.

What do I do if I think my child has head lice?

Advice on the management and control of head lice and louse
Don't assume that if you can't see them they're not there - even when you look thoroughly! The best way to check for head lice is using a plain white conditioner and the NitpickerTM head lice comb. The conditioner will stun any lice, making them easier to remove. Apply the conditioner liberally, then run a wide-toothed comb through the hair first to remove tangles and to evenly spread the lotion.

Working Partners for an Alcohol- and Drug-Free Workplace
First, it is important to note that the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) does not regulate the area of workplace drug testing. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA), an employer normally pays for a drug test. Also, time spent having a required drug test is generally considered hours worked (and thus compensable time) under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which is a DOL regulation, for employees covered by the Act.
