Has anyone heard of a company testing for LSD, psilocybin, or mescaline?

definitely not psilocybin or mescaline
probably not LSD
I'm on probation and they send it into a lab and test for none of the above.
but we could use some more input as far as specific companies. i'd say just lay off the bud and you're cool.
oh yeah, i'm sure you looked up some past threads about the same thing like I did when I was wondering the same thing.

i do think some test for both LSD and DXM.. atleast my previous employer did.. mescaline is a slim possibility and psilocybin is a def no.. as far as i know there is no way to test for psilocybin (atleast no practical way)

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has a standard test which the government requires for its pre-employment tests. Most industry follow their lead.
The standard NIDA panel tests for:
Weed Cocaine Amphetamines Opiates Phencyclidine
There's an expanded version which adds:
Barbiturates Hydrocodone Methaqualone Benzodiazepines Methadone Propoxphene Alcohol MDMA
Testing for LSD and tryptamines aren't part of the NIDA list, but is fairly easy for most labs.
Most places test only for the NIDA-5, but you never know.

A lot of labs also test for tobacco usage as well.
Psilocybin can't be tested for in a standard sense. I can't remember the method, but it's quite expensive and involves quite a bit of expensive equipment as well. Its pretty much unfeasible to test for.
