Jodie Sweetin's Drug Test Is Clean


Yes, I know. I'm fascinated with this divorce. Yes, you are probably sick of it. But come on, humor me a little. This morning Jodie and her soon to be ex were in court where both of their lawyers announced that each person tested clean. I love the way each attorney takes a silent jab at the other with these statements they made to the press after the hearing.

Jodie Sweetin's attorney said, "Her test is good, it's clear." Now, the implied suggestion in that is that Cody's test was not clean. Jodie's attorney knew by then that Cody's test was clean and she could have said both were clean, but instead chose to use the word her instead. Love it, but it gets better.

Cody's attorney then said, "Cody voluntarily took a hair follicle test and tested clean." Now the implication in that is that Jodie was ordered to take her test and that Cody out of the goodness of his heart took a test. The fact is that both had been ordered to by the court, but Cody voluntarily took the harder to beat hair follicle test while implying that if Jodie took one she would have failed.

I can't wait until this goes to trial. These two attorneys really know how to stick in the knives and twist.

I must admit, I find this divorce fascinating, too. I bought the recent US magazine which had an interview with her ex, Cody, and it was absolutely horrendous on his part and her part. He says when he first met her, he thought she was a stripper because her boobs were hanging out. And within the next few lines, he said he found her really smart because she reads. It really is entertaining, and I encourage all to at least take a peek at it in the grocery line.

I love it when guys with two inch long hair think it's so cool that they can past a drug test but want a woman with foot long hair to take the same test and think that it's comparable. Whatever. She'd have to be cleaner a lot longer than he was to pass that test.

Kara - For a drug test sample they take ~1.5 inches from the top of your head closest to the scalp. So if you're a man w/ 2" long hair, they discard the oldest half inch (farthest away from scalp). If you are a woman with 20" long hair, they discard the oldest 18.5 inches. The newest 1.5 inches of growth gives them about 3 months worth of potential drug use history (or not!)

Disclaimer: The reason I know this is because I used to work in a medical lab, not from a personal need to be tested! :)
