A number of school managements have begun
implementing cheap drug tests in their schools
the main goal is to try and prevent or in some
cases deal with the use of illicit drugs among
young people in schools. Many school authorities
advocate for the use of wholesale drug test kits
among students as one of the best ways to try and
deter the use of drugs as well as being able to
provide proof whenever a student is suspected to
be involved and some punitive measures such as
suspension are being considered. A drug test
could also be considered in a situation where
treatment has been prescribed for someone who has
any pre-existing drug issues that are being
treated.

According to authorities, the use of random cheap
drug test kits among school students has been
able to reduce the use of illicit drugs
especially among teenagers and adolescents in
particular. This has been noted to lead to a
reduction of close to 35 among 13 year olds in
smoking, 40 in alcohol consumption, and 20 in
consumption of marijuana. It has also been found
that the use of wholesale drug test kits has been
able to reduce by close to 36 the use of other
illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin in the
lifetime of those who were involved.

Under normal circumstance qualified medical
professionals are given the responsibility to
administer the tests using wholesale drug test
kits the students will normally be selected
randomly from an available data base on the day
that the test is conducted in the school.
Usually, the samples that will be collected will
include sweat, blood, saliva, blood, hair as well
as breathe samples these samples are collected,
labeled and soon thereafter they are analyzed and
tested for particular drugs that are suspected to
being abused.

The different samples that are collected are used
to determine the use of different kinds of drugs,
for instance, wholesale drug test kits that
require hair samples can be sued to determine the
use of drugs for duration of the past 12 weeks or
even longer. Depending on the length of the hair
sample, the duration can actually go for between
7 to 100 days. When it comes to cheap drug test
kits that use urine samples drug usage will be
detected if it happened within the last 1 to 3
days. Saliva and sweat samples on the other hand
will detect drug usage within the previous 1 to
36 hours or 1 to 14 days respectively. The
results from random drug tests in bulk will be
intimated to the students themselves, parents and
of course the school authorities that initiated
them so that any students that get positive
results could be directed for counseling or any
other interventions.
