The point is, a lab drug test is not the same as a home drug test. With a lab drug test, there is paperwork and a record of the results. Such records have a nasty habit of turning up at the DMV, the kid's school, insurance companies, potential employers, and so on. This is what happened to Sunny Cloud when she took her kid to a lab to get tested for drugs. That's why she invented the home-based test.

If you are going to compare the cost of a lab test to a home test, you have to factor in the premium for privacy. I'd say $20, or so, is a pretty small price to protect your kid from having "drug user" punched next to their name on every major database in the country.
