From Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs News:
Some New York area schools are using "DrugWipes" to detect drug residue left on surfaces such as student lockers from contact with student sweat, the New York Post reported Nov. 13.
Willie Freeman, security director for the Newark schools, said the tests can help the district fine-tune its prevention messages but won't be used to go after individual users.
However, one school principal in New Jersey reportedly wants to use the wipes on the foreheads of students thought to be high on drugs.
The wipes are produced by Global Detection & Reporting of New York.
The company also sells the $50 testing kits to parents via the Internet; the wipes detect traces of drugs like heroin, cocaine, and marijuana.
