    As someone who has more knowledge about blood chemistry and medical lab tests than I would ever wish on anyone, let me say mistakes are made and cross contamination happens……….

    The amount of seeds you see on the slice in the pic must be at least 10 000 more than on a typical Panera Bread bagel. That's because the seeds are ground. Now, I eat this stuff since childhood, typically over Christmas and Easter holidays and never did I feel anything addictive about it. At one point, I did a drug test a little over week after Chrstmas and explicitly explained to the tester that I ate that stuff. All he said was "I guess, we'll find out"...well the result came negative...so I don't know...

    There is a place within a walking distance from where I live fancy called Varlife Marijuana Dispencery. At at shopping plaza, where I also buy groceries...
    I could literally go for a walk there buy a few puffs and that's all legal.
    Yet, if I did, I could kiss my career goodbye, if caught at the random.
    Honestly, I am not sure about the place and what good it does in the neighborhood. People I see coming in and out don't seem particularly instilling confidence. The other day, my wife said she saw a young guy who got out of there and dropped unconscious on the sidewalk...
    I always thought Marijuana was innocent...

    i called one time i forget what the issue was but she handed me the letter and said i tried to set this up but had issues you take care of it...lol i just called and didn't say who i was i just said "i have a driver that was selected for a random i would like to get scheduled" they asked for the drivers name but never asked for "my name". or questioned anything.

    it doesn't really matter to me ill piss any time any place and it will be clean its just more a mater of convenience.

    Best depends on your needs.

    I prefer a company with a local facility near my home.
    Search the fmcsa data base for qualified practioners.

    I’ve used CMCI for almost 20 years. Never had an issue. Only downside is you must be a member of Ooida. Adds about $60 per year to the $100? or so annual fee. Not sure what current fees are exactly.
