LSA and Drug Tests
by Erowid

Tested for in Standard Drug Tests?	NO
Tested for in Extended Drug Tests?	NO
Possible to Test for?	Yes
Will Trigger Tests for Other Substances?	Possible: LSD
Detection Period in Urine	unknown

It is possible to specifically test for the presence of LSA in urine, but we have never heard of such a test. We have reports that LSD urine screens will cross react with LSA or its metabolites, so therefore people who ingest LSA-containing plants such as morning glory seeds or hawaiian baby woodrose may test positive for LSD with non-specific assays. Because of the availability of LSD-assays, some hospitals and other organizations who do not follow NIDA standard guidelines may include the LSD test in their standard batteries.

LSD screens are much more common now (2004-2005) than they were a few years ago. If LSA cross-reacts with the LSD screens, false positives for LSD are quite possible.

LSA/LAA is not one of the NIDA-5 standardly tested for in the basic drug test, nor is it included in the extended drug tests. It is also not chemically similar to any of the drugs commonly tested for, so should not trigger the tests as another substance.
