Thought this might provide food for thought:

The National Bureau of Standards, at the request of the Department of
Defense, has developed urine samples with known quantities of marijuana
by-products. This specially treated, freeze-dried urine, called SRM
1507 (for Standard Reference Material) is available at $159 for three
jars. The SRM can be liquified by adding water, and is used to make
sure that laboratory equipment for urinalysis is working properly.
Coming soon: cocaine-laced urine and heroin-laced urine.

I wonder whose job it is to produce this stuff....
