Interview
• Q: Do you think that drug testing is a good
way to spend school funds?
• A: No. Schools are always complaining
about budget cuts and how little money
they have. Drug testing isn’t as effective
as it has been made out to be, so going
without it would just give the school some
extra money.

How do teens pass drug tests?
You may be asking yourself, how are teens
passing drugs tests if they’re doing drugs?
Detoxification pills.
Detox is a simple pill that people can buy at
any smoke shop. Once taken, it will clear
your system of any drug that you may have
taken. (The only drug that will never be cleared out
is Acid [LSD] because, once taken, it stays in the
persons spine for life.
