The drug is smoked and inhaled, causing drowsiness, sluggish response, memory loss, and decreased ability to concentrate. Because these reactions to marijuana abuse severely compromise a student’s ability to focus and learn, it is imperative that responsible parents do everything they can to prevent their children from using marijuana. Thankfully, the marijuana drug testing kit is a vital tool in this effort, as it allows parents to test children regularly for evidence of marijuana abuse.

The marijuana drug testing kit typically comes in two main types: a single use urinalysis drug test, and a long term hair follicle drug test. The benefits of the single THC drug test include ease of use and results which are returned quickly. The hair follicle test can test for other drugs along with marijuana, and can detect traces of marijuana use long after the subject has stopped abusing the drug. Either one of these marijuana drug test kits are great resources for parents who want to ensure that their children are protected from the dangers of marijuana abuse.

Even if a business owner is not philosophically opposed to employees using drugs, it’s in their best financial interest to utilize employee drug testing. After examining the economics of the situation, one thing is clear: drug use by employees definitively costs employers money in a variety of ways.

There are approximately 14.8 million drug users in the United States, and more than 3/4 of them hold jobs. Data from government studies has shown that drug users are “almost four times as likely to be involved in a workplace accident as sober workers, and five times as likely to file a workers’ compensation claim. Employees who use drugs also miss more days of work, are late more often and leave jobs without an explanation at a greater rate. These factors can wreak havoc on a business owner’s bottom line, costing them huge portions of profit in lost productivity, workman’s compensation claims, and property damage. A standard drug test, whether it be a urinalysis or hair follicle test costs as little as $2 per person and can significantly reduce the occurrence of drug use by employees.
