From
WFSA News (Alabama):
Many people have been using products innocently labeled incense or bath salts to get high. They're using these products instead of the drug they mimic because they believe they can still pass a drug test.
Just this week Liz Barrontine, Director with The Partnership for a Drug Free Dekalb County, was alerted to the fact that labs will now be able to tell if someone is using synthetic drugs that give a high similar to marijuana or cocaine.
"
Synthetic marijuana and
bath salts can both be tested," said Barrontine.
The test collection is routine enough that it could become a part of drug tests that many companies have potential employees take before hiring, and the same tests that most parolees have to take every month.
