Honestly if you did all those drugs together and had no apparent side effects I would consider it a superpower.

For those asking what kind of school does drug testing, The Pinnacle Schools in Huntsville, AL are one of those “troubled teen” schools that usually get shut down for abuse. No website for the place that I’ve found, but there’s this PDF: https://media.al.com/breaking/other/The%20Pinnacle%20Schools.pdf
It's not uncommon for schools to do it to let students park on campus and other stuff.
Your country is in dire straights when schools are doing mandatory drug testing of their students.
Late 90s, early 00s, my school didn't even have security. Two pupils were in charge of keeping track who came to the school and would direct visitors. Some teachers would send them to the nearby store to pick up their groceries. It was on rotation and they didn't attend classes that day. The word "drug" was associated with medicine. We used slippers to hit each other with. What a different world, now that I think about it.
When I was I school, they did random drug tests for those on sports teams. This is considered legal, since the participation on a team is voluntary
Actually good parents. They do not blindly disregard negative things about their child AND they admit to be wrong AND apologize for it too!
Where would she even get barbiturates after the year 2000?! That should be their first clue!
I have mixed feelings, though I agree they owned up to their error, which is more important than being perfect, so they are good parents.
But...if someone was positive for every drug tested for, and there was no sign of it in their behavior, I would probably want to check the test since that seems like an error. Like if I peed in a cup at a doctor's office and they found me with traces of every disease, they'd have me come in to piss in another cup since error would be waay more likely.
As a parent this was kinda like I was thinking. Parents are just everyday humans trying to do what’s right and we don’t always succeed.
Good on these folks. Plus it’s actually a pretty funny story.
But why a school is doing a random drug test especially if they aren’t even qualified to read the results is a different story…
