Default Question about a drug test....HELP!!!!

Hello everyone,



I just started taking xenidrine efx and I have a drug test in a week or so, I thought drug tests only detected ephedra and this product has none. Will this supplement cause me to fail a drug test???? Thanks in advance

Default my retarded company

has an equally retarded zero tolerance drug policy. i have been told that supplements wont cause you to fail. neither will steroids. the general test that a lot of companies use test for certain ranges of these Weed, PCP, Opiates, Amphetamines, Cocaine.

you guessed it the THC (marijuana) levels are among the lowest concentrations that cause a positive hit.

keep this in mind at all times: its not a war on drugs but a war on personal freedom.

imohct (in my own humble conspiracy theory) major beer companies and insurance companies pay off the government to give breaks to other companies of blue collar workers to implement such drug tests so that after work instead of relaxing safely in your house and puffin on a jib-jab you go to a bar, spend your hard earned money on booze and drive home so that when you crash on your way back your insurance premiums go up, you get hurt, cant work, then you hit the booze even harder.

sorry didnt mean to rant. i just get worked up over the ludicrousness of having THC on a drug test.

Bill Hicks OWNS!



You will be fine man....they won't test for ephedra as it is no longer banned....

Default what up

Xenad. won't make u test positive on a drug test, there is nothing in it that converts to any illegal drugs tested for in a urine test. As for a blood test, there is even less to worry about cause they can pinpoint more accurately what caused any fail, at least, but even this one shouldn't be a concern. Unless u are taking stuff that actually chemically converts in ur body to something similar, u don't need to worry. I would worry more about poppy seed ( i think these are the ones that have a similar affect if u eat them too close to testing and can cuase a positive.

Why would it be a lame question? The guy is asking something serious, since his suppliment contains ephedrine which is a key substance in making meth. If I had to take tests at work, I would consider that a valid question.

That is a good point...certain stimulants like psuedoephedrine actually contain very, very small amounts of various amphetamines (as impurities) and if the drug test is sensitive enough you might test positive.... I have even heard stories of Advil (in high amounts) giving a false positve for THC....might be a myth, but I have heard it more than once...

It is most likely a pre-employment screening...I take it you aren't from the US?
Almost everywhere requires a drug screening prior to hiring....

Yeah they test for recreational and sometimes prescription drugs before hiring you to most jobs here in the US. The only jobs I can think of that don't test are resturant type jobs. It usually only happens the one time (before hiring) and some places will test you if they suspect you of using...alot of people who use drugs will come off of them for a few weeks just to pass the screens...and then start right back using b/c they don't get tested again...

What country are you from bro? (if you don't mind me asking)

That is cool man! Of course I have heard about Lebanon! My girlfriend and I are pretty into geography. Yeah there is a lot of trouble going on there with Syria right now...I am I correct?

Yeah the US is pretty cool to live in, Canada is nice as well. You have alot of freedom here, but there are some ridiculous rules too... I work in a hospital with a ton of doctors from the middle east...they seem to do really well here in my town. I live in Hattiesburg, Mississippi...now I know you have never heard of my town! Alot of people that live in the US have never heard of it either....it is really small, but nice and cheap to live in...we took alot of damage from Hurricane Katrina, but we are getting back to normal now...

BTW...you might want to watch your language...I mean it doesn't bother me at all, but the mods will probably get on to you at some point....

well , excuse me for my lang first , but living here makes u desperate , i dont wanna go into politics but basically few ppl are in charge and they use religion to take control of everything , yes we do have a trouble with syria bt guess what , the politicians who are now against syria were 2 years ago cooping with it and stealing the money from this country , when they saw things are changing and the US is against syria they turned 180 degree ....

But seriously, ams, I am from Canada and drug tests are unheard of here as well. I have worked for some major companies in high security areas and the thought of a drug test never crossed my mind.

Now, I was in the military (yes Canada has a military) and there was random drug testing there, but thats a bit different than being employed in the public sector.

Well, most of us don't speak French either. You really only need it for government positions, but I would rather work for a living.

Nah man...my GF just finished her geography and American studies degrees...and is getting ready for grad school...and I was actually in the American national geography bee when I was in 7th grade....

You would probably be surprised at how hard I have been known to party....

But seriously, I didn't know that Canada didn't have drug screens...they are everywhere here. In the hospital where I work there is just a simple screen prior to employment. I am pretty sure it only tests for the basic recreational drugs (pot, meth, coke, opiates)....I was on GHB 24/7 in those days when I took the test and passed it (7yrs ago)...I think that it must be a more expensive test or something...then again Canada is alot more relaxed about drugs is it not?

I think Canada is about as close to legalizing pot as you can be, without it actually being legal. There is small fines for possession, although I am not totally familiar with the laws as I don't use recreational drugs.
