Question by Bakuny?: Does “Hoodia” show up as anything on a drug test?
Hi! I have a friend that is a nurse going through recovery treatment and they test her for even the most minute traces of anything that can be called a “Drug”.

One of her classmates got busted because she moved and spent the day cleaning and the alcohol absorbed through her hands from the cleaning products showed up in the test and they tried to ‘call’ her on it!

She wants to try the Hoodia Pills but is worried they might show up as “something” bad on the drug test.

Does anyone know if it would show up?

Thanks!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoodia
Hoodia is a stem succulents, described as “cactiform” because of their remarkable similarity to the unrelated cactus family.

It is thought to aid in weight loss.

It is 100% legal, ‘herbal’ suppliment.

Personally, I don’t think there is enough scientific backing to use it but if she wants to try it, I can only tell her the facts and let her make up her own mind.
