INDIANA – A new study by the personal injury law firm Simmrin Law Group reveals that Indiana has the seventh-highest rate of residents searching online for methods to pass drug tests. The research analyzed Google search data across all 50 states, comparing search volumes to state populations to pinpoint areas with the highest demand for such information.
Indiana records 67.30 searches per 100,000 residents, representing approximately a 47% increase over the national average of 45.93 searches per 100,000 residents. With a population of 6,968,420, the Hoosier State generated an average of 4,690 monthly searches related to bypassing drug screenings.
A spokesperson from Simmrin Law Group commented on the findings, stating, “This data reveals that residents of Indiana are showing the seventh highest anxiety around drug testing in the U.S. The high search volumes suggest many Americans are concerned about potential positive results, whether from recreational drug use, medical cannabis, or prescription medications. This highlights the complex relationship between evolving drug laws, employment policies, and personal choices that many Americans navigate daily.”
