I met someone today who lost their certificate,job, and house thanks to a random drug test. The person tells me that they now do synthetic cannabis, aka "mojo" or "spice." It's an herbal incense and he said that it doesn't show up on drug tests. It supposedly gives the same high. I've heard stories about people buying urine during physicals or on the job tests but haven't found any proven instances,not to say that it doesn't occur.
I wonder if there are any other airline pilots out there that have drug addictions and either have tricks up their sleeves to get high while still at FL000 or simply cheat. I am looking for any FAA document to find out what's being done/what can happen. This apparently seems to be a loophole and might unfortunately end up in a NTSB report. If a "normal" drug test can't find it and the DEA keeps banning it while manufacturers keep changing the formula, how is it traceable?
Just sayin'...
Here's a link about the drug:

A few other things that are popular highsare bath salts,aerosols,pain killers, paint thinner,etc. Hopefully any pilots doing this use common sense and don't fly.
