LSD does not show up on drug tests
Do explain. This should be good
99.9% of run of the mill drug tests do not and cannot reasonably test for LSD which is taken in infinitesimally small doses, (micrograms) and it leaves the body rapidly. Regular and even most sophisticated hair, urine and blood tests do not reveal LSD, but there are very expensive tests which will detect LSD usage if administered when the user is still tripping (Abuscreen and EMIT). The military does have this test kit and uses it when confronted with a tripping soldier, which apparently happened often enough to administer this test. But, after 2 million tests were administered over a 3 year period in the they decided to ditch the test because they only had 4 positives. Microgram (usually a dose is 40-100 micrograms) dosage by a drug that disappears from your body in 12-24 hours is a very hard thing to test for and prohibitively expensive. ....Not to mention is not even a blip on the "bad behavior" radar compared to drunken antics found on campus nationwide.
