I see that I am out of your killfile.

I had no need to "save" hawki, as hawki was quite right. HA is useful for
monitoring past drug use, but utterly useless for diagnostic purposes in the
emergency room, or to dtermine one's overall state of health as the alties
like to claim.

If done properly, it is entirely possible for a lab to tell whether a person
has used drugs with a hair sample. I use that when confronted with the issue
as I described.

However, if someone is selling HA as a means of diagnosing current
conditions, they they are a fraud and a liar.

I hope that clears up your befuddlement.

IIRC Hawki mentioned that HA is used to screen for past drug use. It cannot
be used to determine drug use in an acute setting.
