Urine sales soar as workers dodge drug tests

CBC News

Oil-patch employees and other Albertans are increasingly buying real and synthetic urine to pass workplace drug tests, sellers say.

The oil-and-gas industry uses drug testing to ensure workers are fit to perform in potentially dangerous environments.

One oilfield worker, who runs a machine that lifts thousands of tonnes of machinery, said he smokes marijuana after hours and has purchased the substitute urine to pass the tests.

"At work, I don't smoke marijuana," the man told CBC News on condition of anonymity.

3. This reminds me of a joke from the last time it was thought random drug...

tests would solve all the world's ills.

One fine day it was announced there would be urine
tests. One employee was enraged and decided he would
get even. After work he went home and obtained samples
from his wife, daughter and for laughs his dog.

The next day he substituted the mixture for his in
the sample cup.

The day after that he was called into his supervisor's
office. On the way in he chuckled to himself, "Heh, I
showed them!"

He walked into the office and said, "Well, what did
you find out about me? *wink*" His supervisor looked
up from his desk and said, "We don't know anything about
you... What we do know is your wife is using drugs,
your daughter has a venereal disease, and your dog is
pregnant. Oh, wait... We do know one thing about you.
YOU'RE FIRED!"

Also, it reminds me of the movie, "A Boy and His Dog."
