Comment on This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store

  I cant tell if you are privileged enough that you have a microwave in which to heat urine, or if you have urine clean enough to pass a drug test. Either way - I’m proud of you.

    Plus, this gas station is likely very close to a PO. Heating up piss to smugle in from 20 minutes away won’t likely work very well.

  In order to have a microwave, you need to have money. Poor people tend to lack that. Especially poor people who are also drug addicted who just want to keep out of prison or keep their job.

    Not to mention when the court orders you to have regular drug testing done, you’re on the hook for them. And they ain’t exactly cheap, especially for someone making 10 bucks an hour part time.

      The whole legal system is designed to make non-wealthy people fail to rehabilitate.

        Hey now, it’s designed so wealthy people don’t have to rehabilitate either, so that’s fair right?

      You have to pay for the Tests yourself?

    It’s one microwave, how much could it cost? 1000 dollars?

      It might as well cost $1000 if you are barely scraping by.

      All this tells me is you’ve never been inside the home of a poor person, let alone a poor person who is also suffering from addiction. If they have a home at all.

    Maybe they can spend money on microwave instead of drugs or urine.

      Tell me you don’t understand addiction without telling me you don’t understand addiction.

        Oh poor babies! Let’s be real most of addicted people are adults that should be responsible for their own lives, I was addicted to alcohol and stopped, it was hard ofc. If they can’t maaaybe they shouldn’t try to game the system and own their mistakes?

  I think oftentimes they find use of their own urine demeaning and so prefer to outsource.
