Airline drug testing

So what happens if you get popped for codeine, but you have a script? Are you okay upon dr. proof, or do you get dinged for flying while on codeine?

Generally, for prohibited medications, the following applies:

  • At least five maximal dosing intervals have passed. For example, if the medication is taken every 4-6 hours, wait 30 hours (5×6) after the last dose to fly, or,
  • At least five times the maximum terminal elimination half-life has passed. For example, if the medication half-life is 6-8 hours, wait 40 hours (5×8) after the last dose to fly.
    • At least five maximal dosing intervals* have passed. For example, if the medication is taken every 4-6 hours, wait 30 hours (5×6) after the last dose to fly, or,
    • At least five times the maximum terminal elimination half-life has passed. For example, if the medication half-life* is 6-8 hours, wait 40 hours (5×8) after the last dose to fly.

Didnt they outlaw shrooms in Amsterdam after some tourist threw himself off a bridge?

Yes. They overreacted and outlawed them after some typical, irresponsible American tourist showed up and ruined their fun by eating shrooms and thinking she could fly.

Bbbbut, truffles are very much legal and are the same with very minor differences if any. I've heard.

"Gourmet" Truffle fries are the rage these days.

Yep.. The rise of truffles as 'instant added gourmetness' is not a good thing. Fries are fries, not gourmet food. But I have to balance that with my European Communist idea that a chef is a professional who makes food a certain way. I can't act like an American and order a steak but substitute the Beef for Chicken. How it is on the menu is how it should be ordered, or go eat at Denny's. This means that occasionally I'll eat pretentious crap like truffle fries.

Truffles should be a highlight of a dish. A simple pasta, and a little butter and the flavour of some grated truffle can really be appreciated. Chucking some on a side dish is just annoying.

The doctor took an ungodly amount of blood when I did my physical so I assume they're testing for basically anything and everything.

Story time.

If I took a hair, urine and blood sample and conducted a full battery of tests, what are you worried about showing up?

I'd totally ask that! ;)
