Most state statutes (AR, IL, IN, LA, MS, NH, NC, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, VA) target adulteration or substitution of urine samples intended to defeat drug tests. Federal law (18 USC §1320d-7) prohibits defrauding federal workplace drug tests. Possession by an individual is not typically penalized unless used to defraud.
