Odds and Ends  Drugs we do not routinely look for:  Aripiprazole, GHB, Risperidone, Ziprasidone, LSD, Buprenorphine, Mushrooms  Don’t routinely report out:  Caffeine, EME, EDDP, nicotine  Accreditation concerns  We now have to confirm all drugs (i.e. 2 nd test)  We now have strict Limits of Quantitation (LOQ’s )
