What’s The Purpose?
Are you a first time job seeker? Some government institutions or even employers may require drug test results as part of their application requirements. Sure it is costly and inconvenient but you have to follow instructions if you wish to find a job.
While there are available rapid test kits, it is still a good idea to secure a result from accredited centers. This will provide better results and actual interpretation. Some employers will not accept rapid test results without a signature from authorized centers.
