Mississippi Criminal Law BlogWhile it might not be illegal to attempt to cheat on a drug test in the Magnolia State, it is illegal to help others cheat. There is actually an entire industry built around helping people cheat on drug tests. A simple online search will reveal plenty of websites and companies that sell “detoxifying” substances designed specifically to help people hide their drug use.
In Mississippi, the state has focused on one specific aspect of this test-cheating industry — the sale of human urine. There are certain companies that market real or fake human urine that helps individuals pass drug tests. In 2021, Mississippi introduced a new law that would ban the sale of real or fake human urine. You can also be found guilty of this crime if you simply give away your urine. The first offense comes with a fine of $1,000 and up to six months in jail. Repeat offenders can face up to three years in jail.
