Testing in Colorado
Colorado permits workplace drug testing and employers may act on positive results, particularly for safety-sensitive positions. State legalization does not override an employer's drug-free workplace policy, and a medical card does not guarantee protection.
Colorado's lawful-off-duty-activities statute protects employees from discipline for lawful off-duty conduct, but courts have generally allowed employers to enforce drug policies and test for cannabis.
About NBOMe (25I-NBOMe)
NBOMe compounds are potent synthetic psychedelics. They are not part of the standard 5-, 10- or 12-panel or DOT tests.
Detection requires a dedicated mass-spectrometry assay; routine workplace panels will not identify them.
Their detection window is short and the compounds are potent, which is why specialised testing is uncommon outside clinical settings.
