Morons Overdose on Niacin While Trying to Beat a Drug Test

Morons Overdose on Niacin While Trying to Beat a Drug Test
October 28, 2007 - Wired Science

Tricks to pass drug tests are like cures for the hiccups – there are many to choose from and some are spectacularly dumb.

A report in the November issue of the Annals of Emergency Medicine described four cases of people becoming ill after taking massive amounts of vitamin B3 (niacin) to rid themselves of incriminating chemicals.

According to legend, the dietary supplement will cause every trace of illegal substances to disappear overnight, but established recreational drug references, including Erowid, warn that it does not work and can cause health problems.

Apparently, the four emergency room patients did not do their homework before trying the folk remedy. All of them suffered from itching, a burning sensation, and a rash. One of them had symptoms far more severe than the others.

Concerned that his parole officer would give him a drug test, a 14-year-old boy popped eleven huge tablets of extended-release niacin. After becoming dizzy, suffering heart palpitations, and vomiting several times, he was brought to a hospital.

Lab tests showed that his body fluids were too acidic, liver was in danger of failure, and blood sugar was unusually high. His urine contained alarming levels of chemicals called ketones.

Initially, the doctors misdiagnosed him with a severe diabetic reaction and gave him insulin. That treatment got his blood sugar under control, but he remained in the hospital for several more days.

On the third day of his visit, the physicians checked his urine for drugs. Despite his risky efforts, the kid still tested positive for marijuana.

Manoj Mittal, a doctor at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and his colleagues from two other medical establishments warned that as drug testing becomes more common, so will incidents of niacin poisoning. A second paper in the same journal mentioned that sixteen people in Colorado had called poison control centers last year after taking excessive amounts of the vitamin to detox before a drug test.

Smoking cannabis can cause Niacin poisoning, there's another tasty fact for the prohibitionists.

So who exactly thinks niacin flushes metabolites from your body? I've never heard that.

I do know that people use the color of the vitamins to make dilute urine appear darker...

Do people really believe this, r is the reporter getting it wrong?

Pretty common belief... even on here, from time to time. Do a search on niacin and see what I mean.

I remember popping a few niacin pills back in the day for the hell of it after hearing this rumor. The itchiness alone is not worth the experience.

Glad the misconception is beginning to clear up.

BTW 14 year old on parole??? This kids fucked no matter what he does.

Wasn't my theory, as the article said "Tricks to pass drug tests are like cures for the hiccups – there are many to choose from and some are spectacularly dumb."

Just another rumor i was told, but it seemed the most beleivable as the bottle said completely flush all chemicals out of your body in 2 weeks.
