Fortunately pharmaceutical companies have been providing people with respectable products for years! These products can help clean your body of cocaine. They are great Detoxifying Products for removing cocaine out of your system These products are called Detoxes.

Generally, the work of these medication are based upon certain principles: it cleans your hair, urine and blood - the three main system parts where toxins are stored. There are specific preparations which work only with hair, blood or urine, and also there are complex drugs, which deal with all of them.

Your hair and nails are dead. Nothing can remove the drug traces from them except cutting them off.

They will likely go to a hair test if they have reason to believe you are getting past the urine tests.

Besides, appearing on a video snorting coke sorta removes the need to test you...

If it's her it's strange. She appears to know she is being taped and doesn't seem to care.

A bong photo caused a lot of grief for Michael Phelps, including the loss of a lucrative contract.

He was honest about it, though, and came clean, which gives him credit.

If she has a drug problem and comes forward about it and seeks help, then I really don't have a problem with her.

I think it's a legitimate argument, but I really don't believe that if this was Palin's 27 year old child that it would be treated the same way, though...

Who is this 'they'? I've never known an employer to use hair tests.

If you work for me, I will. If I think you are using drugs and getting past the urine test, why wouldn't I try a hair test? Refuse it and you are done. Fail it and you are done. I have had quite enough of potheads in my employ. I don't need the added hassles.

Hair tests are much more common now and much cheaper.

Well what you describe is extremely uncommon. So, while LTC8K6-Co might hair test, you won't see that much of anywhere else.

So who is keeping the hair testing labs in business then? :D

Why all the sites telling you how to get around a hair test? :D

By the most recent info I can find, hair testing comprises just over 1% of all drug testing that takes place.

So what?

Where's your info from, and who cares anyway?

We are talking about possibly having a video of an employee using cocaine.

If they already have a video, and she passes her drug tests, obviously the testing they are doing is ineffective. They may very well request a different test, since they have strong evidence of drug use outside of the drug testing they have done.

You seemed to take exception with my point that hair testing was uncommon.

Your turn.

No, I didn't think that at all. I said it was uncommon, you asked who was keeping the hair labs in business, implying that I was incorrect.

Too bad for the Biden family. Drugs are a fvcking scourge.
Workplace drug tests don't test your hair.
Mine did! I don't know if urine would have been an option; I didn't ask. I presume no, or else they'd have done that.

Well, the media hammered Sarah Palin for what her daughter did...

Mercilessly...

They hammered Bristol and Levi mercilessly too...

Will we see the same treatment?

You know the media knew about this long ago, too.

They also knew about Bush's daughters using fake IDs to get hammered and conveniently ignored that because it really isn't that big of a story what an ADULT (that's what Bush's daughters were at the time and what Biden's daughter is this time) does.

How the hell was Bristol's pregnancy newsworthy?

It was proof that abstinence-only sex "education" does not work. If Bristol learned to use a condom, it never would have happened. Regulating the cocaine use of 27-year-old women is not nearly as high a priority for Mr. Biden as mis-informing teenagers about sex is for Ms. Palin.

For all you know they did use a condom so I guess Bristol's pregnancy didn't prove squat one way or the other.

On the other hand if this is true, Ashley is an adult breaking the law of the land. As the daughter of our VP this is certainly more newsworthy then the Bristol story was.

I guess turnabout is fair play, but we only have ourselves and our taste for sliming the "other side" to blame for what the news agencies are willing to pay for.

This'll be worth a mention, maybe a chuckle, then they'll move onto the Missing Family Dog with a dying Child story.

Actually, she was the ADULT daughter of a U.S. Senator at the time and not the daughter of our VP. Unless you can positively prove that she is currently or has used in the last ~65 days....

Bristol on the other hand was the UNDERAGE daughter of the Governor of Alaska who claimed that she would only fund abstinence-only programs:

Palin backed abstinence-only education during her 2006 gubernatorial race. In an Eagle Forum Alaska questionnaire, Palin gave this response to the following question:

Will you support funding for abstinence-until-marriage education instead of for explicit sex-education programs, school-based clinics, and the distribution of contraceptives in schools?

Palin: Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support.

But then, this shouldn't come as a major surprise to anyone....Repubs that clamor the most about abstinence-only have almost always been proven to be hypocrites that have "learned from their own mistakes":

Todd and Sarah were married on August 29, 1988.

Eight months later, the Palins welcomed their first child, Track, into the world. Track was born on April 20,1989. I don?t know if you can do the math, but we can. If these dates are, in fact, correct then Track Palin was conceived before his parents were married. If he was born on time, and not at least a month early then Track was initially conceived around July 28 or 29 of 1988.

This just in:

Winnar111's next post will be how Obama's brothers sisters college roomate did drugs! And it will be Obama's fault.

I suggest that we have more important things to worry about and learn then which adult relation of a politician is doing drugs. You do realize he have this small economic problem right now, right?
