I know the drug testing we use for people costs between $20-35 - a saliva swab
is cheaper.? Urine testing is around $35.?? Not sure if the pricing would be
different because of testing for different drugs or not.?

If the cost of these tests was $20 back 35+ years ago, I wonder just
how much higher would it be now? Most things then cost just a fraction
of current prices. Sandy
