Also, I have it on pretty good authority that drug tests only screen for opiates, amphetamines, THC (marijuanna), and alcohol.
you are correct, have a friend who is on high blood pressure deds and has never failed one drug test.
 
"Livin on reds, vitamin c, and cocaine,
All a friend can say is aint it a shame?"

I suppose glue sniffing could be a drug of choice for regional FOs.
 
Well you have nothing to worry about.

An FAA drug screen tests for five substances: marijuana, cocaine, phencylidene (PCP), opiates, and amphetamines. Don't have one of those in your system? Don't worry. Yes, you can pass a drug test while under the influence of LSD or mushrooms. Most other drugs are under the opiate or amphetamine umbrella. By the way, most of those drugs are out of your system in 24-48 hours, except for the weed which can be 1-7 days depending on frequency of use and body mass. The really fat, really heavy smokers might need 3 weeks.

My understanding is that a light, one time use may be detected up to 7 days. More frequent usage such as smoking daily may be detected for up to 90 days. If you smoked a couple of times a week then at least 30 days will be required. Also, THC is stored in the fat cells so heavy exercising and crash dieting will be VERY BAD just prior to the test itself. Also, use the pee from midstream, not the start or end. This tends to be the cleanest. Don't ask me how I know this! ;)
 
It's odd the drug test doesn't look for Benzodiazepines which are fairly abused. Maybe more so than these opiates which are tested for. Benzo's are basically things like Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan, etc. Sedatives and anti-anxiety/panic agents in other words.
 
So are you saying your friend isn't telling the FAA he has high blood pressure?
Yes that is what I am saying, and if you think that he is the only one who does not say anything you must be dreaming.
 
You frigging hypocrites make me sick. A guy gets busted for the 8 hour rule for drinking and you hang him from the nearest tree. A guy comes on here admitting to taking a prescription drug that was not prescribed to him and you gush and fall all over yourselves to help him out.

Retards, the lot of you.
 
really... I was commenting on the fact that it was a joke to get. All I had to say was I can't sleep and boom I had a prescription for 30 pills! Anyone could get em kind of a joke but they just want their money.
