Geen Lizard Drug screen?

[RickG85]

I'm almost a year into my program and today at work I had a sip of a Green Lizard wondering what in the world it tastes like. I always assumed it was lidocaine and Maalox. Well someone pointed out it has Dannatal in it which has phenobarbital. I literally had like maaaaybe 2ml. A sip. Of course right now I'm kicking myself. Was this such a small amount that I won't test positive for barbiturates?

Bad news phenobarbital has a half-life of 2-7 days. Good news, if we were to look at the composition of the drink, all 3 ingredients of the drink are mixed at an equal ration, so of those 2 ml you drank, a little over half an ml of that was Dannatal. Dannatal itself is a combo drug so potentially 0.2 ml of that drink was actual phenobarbital. I highly doubt that would test above the cutoff for barbiturates, drug screens aren't designed that way. By the end of this program I think I'll have earned an honorary chemistry degree

Agree with above--barbiturates linger. Hopefully you will get by this time, but you had best be more careful in future. Don't get...curious. In these programs you have to be hyper-vigilant and positively neurotic about everything that passes your lips, or even touches your skin. So please don't...uhh, wonder...about how things taste from now on.
