So I just recently had a hair follicle test done and it come back positive for cocaine use within the last 30 days. The thing is I DO NOT do drugs!!Nor do I drink alcohol, I have been sober for over 2 1/2 years and I take my sobriety very serious. I am sooo proud of myself. I have really long dreads that I have had for over 12 years and I won't lie I cannot remember the last time I washed my hair. When I was using I use to do coke/crack ocassionally but it was never my goto drug because I actually don't like it. I do not understand how I can test positive for something I know for 110% I haven't touched in years. I get drug tested via swaps very regularly and almost a year ago I did have a contact positive because I was bumming cigarettes off a girl I knew at work and I wasnt aware that she kept coke in her cigarette pack. It was only a trace amount and my doctor could tell it was from a contact i guess due to how it metabolizes or something. However my doctor was not the one that preformed the follicle test and unfortunately she doesn't know much about them. I've been doing some reading about false positives with cocaine and it seems to be fairly common due to environmental exposure (which was a fair amount back then) and something to do with the washing process. If anyone reads this and has any information on this topic please please reach out. I am literally devastated, pissed off, and confused because I thought for sure this hair follicle test would be my redemption and I could prove those wrong that doubted me.

My new employer’s job advertisement stated ability to pass a “federally compliant” drug screening. I’m assuming that means urine? That’s what Google says. Anyone have any knowledge or wisdom, in regard to this.

I smoke damn near every night for 3-4 months with small breaks. My first 3 months were with a weak cart but then I got a muha. I have a blood test at my doctors. I do play a sport and am active. I haven’t smoked for about a week but I don’t think that’s near enough. Will it show up? Or should I just try to push off the test as long as I can.

Hello, I have been using cocaine maybe half of the days of the week for about a month now. Saturday morning will have been the last time I used any, urine test (lab) is Monday morning. Any tips on how to pass? I usually refill my 33 oz water bottle 4 times a day minimum so I drink a lot of water already but could use tips and product suggestions to help pass.

I know I am definitely overthinking this and feeling anxious for no reason, but has anyone had experience with getting a false positive urine test for no reason?

I am taking an employment drug screen next week and I haven't smoked weed in 2 months since I've been job hunting. Yet, I still can't help but feel like I'm going to get a false positive, even though I don't take any of the medications that I've read could cause false positives.

I also have taken at-home instant tests and passed multiple of them in the past week but, like I said, I can't help but feel anxious so any reassurance on how stupid I am being would be helpful lol

Edit: I know that if I was to get a false positive I could just ask for a retest but I was hoping to begin smoking again after I take the test as I have felt my mental health take a significant dip over the past 2 months and would really like to get myself back up to my baseline before I start my job. I would not be high at work, obviously, but don't plan to quit smoking as I don't see there being any consequences with smoking during days that I'm not working. Hoping that I can take the test and then smoke the day after without having to worry about potentially needing to retest.

Upcoming Test: SAP 5-50 W/NIT

Pre-Employment drug testing later next week. I've hit a pen one day out the week for the last 3 weeks, the last time I smoked was Saturday (1/25). I've done 2 home test and gotten negative results. On top of that, I took an instant drug test at a local testing facility, and they told me I'm clean. I'm definitely over worrying at this point, but as long as I don't smoke, I should be okay right?

How likely is this to happen and what can I do to help cleanse before a pre-employment screening for a new job change that is coming up soon? I have read about using a combination of Qcarbo, charcoal tablets and creatine along with chewing up a multivitamin over a period of 5 hours before the test for temporary cover up. Is this method effective?

As someone who doesn’t even use THC anymore since over a decade ago and only uses CBD for legitimate medical reasons, it is truly depressing that taking a legal over the counter natural medication can cause you to be disqualified for employment over a technicality.

I interviewed for a big job today, I had applied months ago and didn’t hear back so continued smoking. Only got word I’d be interviewing 5 days before and didn’t even think about a drug screening. I’ve smoked closed to everyday for 5 years, but have cut back on consumption to a spliff every 2-3 days in the past month or so. I have to piss clean by next week, and I’m stressing super hard about it. I’m 5’10 and weigh around 135-140. Does anyone think I could sweat it out and hydrate by then without diluting my sample? I know thats incredibly unlikely but I already have a pretty low body fat percentage and a fast metabolism. I’m planning on getting a detox kit but worried about the effectiveness, and also not really sure how taking a UA at a testing center works. Can detox dilute my urine? Also, does anyone have a specific brand that has worked for them multiple times? Looking for any tips at this point. Thank you.

So I was offered a job in mid December 2024 that told me that they wouldn’t allow me to pop positive for thc during my occupational health screening even though I am a medical Mary patient. So after I told them I probably wouldn’t be able to continue the hiring process then, they offered me the option of trying to pause my onboarding for however long it would take me get my system clean.. which at first I wasn’t so sure about, but after thinking about how good of an opportunity the job was, and the fact that I don’t have any real physical dependency on smoking weed.. I decided to accept their offer, and quit smoking that next day. I knew my lungs coulda used a break anyways. So later that week, I went on Amazon and came across the easy@home brand that you can get like 20 in box and got those to monitor my progress. Mind you, I was a heavy user.. some may even call it chronic. But I never smoked blunts or joints, just a few tokes off a vape pen during the day, and a few bong rips at night. Nothing crazy, but it was daily. So with that in mind, I decided to wait about a month before giving myself the first test.

So it was 30 days in being sober for me that I took my first test, which came back positive. Which I wasn’t shocked about, as I was a heavy user.. so I waited a few days and tried again. 33 days in, took the second test, and it came back negative, to my surprise.. with a really really faint test line. So I figured I’m at least on the right track, even if I wasn’t completely clean then. I then took a few more tests with about a day or so in between, each one coming back negative.. with the test line getting more and more prominent.

So this had gotten me really excited, I thought I was probably just about clean.. so I decided to call my new job and let them know about my at home tests and that I may be able to move my start date up. This was about Jan 22/23 of 2025.. I then took another test on Jan 25 which was about 40 days in clean for me, and the test came back negative, but the line was suuuuuuuuuper faint. Almost couldn’t even see it.. so this really got me really anxious and nervous. I figured by this time, after all of the previous test I had taken, the test line would be getting darker and darker, since I was 100% clean since last smoking mid December. But it wasn’t. Took another test like an hr later, and the same thing. So after looking online at other people’s review and experiences with this type of issue, I decided go back on Amazon and get the “highly sensitive” exploro thc test strips. Got those in the mail the next day, and tested myself.

I used both the easy@home and exploro thc tests in the same urine sample, just to compare and contrast .. the exploro showing a negative test, with a very clear, distinct T line, almost as dark as the control line.. and the easy@home also came back negative.. but the test line was super, super faint again. So I decided that I would just continue with exploro tests. Everything I had read online and even my own experience with them had me feeling like they were more accurate. So in the time frame of Jan 25-31 I have taken about 8 of the exploro tests. They’ve ALL come back negative. Some test would show more prominent T lines than others, but each one had a clear negative test line. Which had me feeling confident about my upcoming drug screen.

I have also learned during that time frame just how much “dilution” can affect these home tests. I’m a real big water drinker, always have been.. and I noticed I would get a darker T line after me drinking a few cups of water during the day. So I started doing the exploro tests first thing in the morning after waking up, not drinking any water.. and the tests still came back negative. Not as prominent T lines, but they were there, and easy to see.

So on this day that I’m writing this, Jan 31 2025.. after taking an exploro test first thing in the morning and getting a negative result, though a faint line.. I decided to go and get an at home CVS 7 panel drug test, thinking it would be the most accurate of all the test I’ve taken so far. And it came back positive for thc 😓 which really, really bummed me out.. and has me questioning just how “clean” I really am.

Mind you, I am 46 days clean.. am physically active, drinks almost nothing but water, and have a fairly clean diet. I’m 33 y/o.. am 6’4 and weigh about 215 lbs. so really not much body fat, and as far as I know, have a pretty decent metabolism. I have also been doing extra cardio and whatnot during my 46+ day detox now. So I’m really not sure what to make of this cvs test.

I even took ANOTHER exploro test about 20 mins after the cvs test I took, and that came back negative! With a super dark T line. So I’m just really confused and anxious about this whole situation now, cause I don’t know which test I should lean on more 😞 from my knowledge, all the tests I’ve taken have the same 50 Ng/ml cut off limit.. so I just don’t understand the inconsistency in each test I’ve taken. oh yeah, also did another easy@home test during this time.. came back negative, with a barely visible T line. I’m just so over this at home testing shit and really just want this whole process to be over with now, but I also don’t want to shoot myself in the foot, going in there taking a test I thought I would pass, and then end up failing 😓😓 especially after being clean for all this time.

So, I ask.. has anyone else had any experiences like this with these at home thc tests? And do you guys recommend me going in for my actual drug screen, or just postponing it. I’m scheduled to go in Feb 3rd, which will be 49 days clean. But all my confidence I had with the exploro tests, came crashing down after this Cvs test. And I don’t want to permanently disqualify myself from the company by popping positive…

Sorry for the long ass novel-like post, but just wanted to give the whole back story. Any insights/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 🤙🏼

If I have clear second lines on my drug test meaning a negative result. Would that still pass a lab test?

I used dxm on Tuesday and use 2-3 times a week. I tested myself with a 5 panel and passed twice, but I’ve heard dxm comes up as PCP in drug tests. I became aware of my interview after Tuesday and heard they will drug test. What kinds of drugs do jobs test for and will I be clear if I stay clean, hydrate, and exercise until next Tuesday?

Help! I need to take a drug test for a pre employment screening. I am an avid smoker and have never had to take a drug test. I have heard good things about upass, but I’m scared to mess it up. Any tips and tricks?

Partied last night and got drunk drunk, I’m not entirely sure if I took a bump or not, can’t remember shit. Got home at 3 AM. Took a at home test with the 300 ng/ml cutoff around 1 PM. Solid dark line on the negative. Got a 150 ng/ml test tomorrow. Haven’t used in forever. I’m just being paranoid right? So if I did take a bump it would definitely show up within 12 hours correct?

Hello, I drank a detox drink and chugged a lot of water before I had a preemployment test earlier this week. When I peed, it was not clear. I received an email earlier saying it was negative dilute. I am unsure of what it is exactly testing for. It is a 4 panel test reading 1687 - 1687 4DSP/OPA/PHN. I am only worried about failing for THC. If I received the negative dilute result, does that mean that were it not diluted, it would have been negative? Trying to find out if I need to risk using upass or just go take it legit when I go monday. A 2nd negative dilute test would count as positive. The test is through Escreen if that matters.

got a non DOT pre employment and was wondering, is this testing for THC?

thanks in advance, its for an eScreen

Hi, years ago I was prescribed adderall and took it daily. But one day my psych popped a random drug test on me and I failed for THC. Shortly after my prescription was denied and I had to go cold turkey. This was years ago and I haven’t touched the stuff, until recently. A couple buddies get “adderall 30mg IR”. The pressed ones that contain meth. I stupidly purchased about 5 of them and have been taking them for my labor intensive night shift job. I hate them and am obviously not purchasing anymore. Ive taken 30mg saturday, 30mg Sunday, 30mg Monday, 15mg Tuesday, 15mg Wednesday, and 15mg Thursday. These presses are kind of weak and I wonder how much methamphetamine/caffeine/RC stimulant that they even contain. Well Thursday morning out of the blue I was offered a better job with the contingency that I pass a drug test on Monday. 8 panel minus THC. My last 15mg was Thursday at 9am. Do I have any chance of passing if I drink water and sweat all weekend. I also have quick-fix and it always works for me at the lab I go to but it would be easier for me to not use it. But I will if I have to. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.

I’m high af and haven’t smoked in two months but smoked for three months multiple times everyday. It took me 40 days to pass drug test. I’m hoping on passing a drug test by monday at 3 for a job interview

I completed my community service hours and I’m in the programs needed. But my probation officer did extend my time to finish my hours and get all the paperwork needed in. But she recently found out I was smoking weed while on probation and drug tested me today. I am worried of the results because I stopped smoking for 7 days prior to the test but I was a heavy smoker for 3 years and would smoke every day all day.

I have a drug test coming up. It's for an online Suboxone program. So I'll be doing the test at home. At this time, I am not clean as I am a cannabis user.

I have clean (with Suboxone) frozen urine for this.

What I need to know is, how do I get the urine defrosted and at the proper temperature before testing without destroying the quality of the urine.

Went to pop open the powdered urine pack today to prepare for an upcoming drug screen, it was sealed and I have left it that way since 10/24 to keep it fresh, but I open the package to find it totally empty outside of a single fucking hand warmer…..

For future reference, record yourself opening the package, because the support team and TestClear basically told me to go fuck myself, and so I was forced to spend $105 to rush ship a new package….

Disgusting customer service, they basically called me a liar…. Like why would I lie about an emergency drug screen kit ???

I’ve checked Glassdoor, LinkedIn and Indeed and found either no answer or conflicting answers about the company I want to know about. Is there somewhere else I can look for this information?

It’s a urine drug screening done at a quest laboratory. I have spent the last couple of months getting ignored left and right for jobs and FINALLY landed an offer. I wasn’t aware that I would be taking a drug screening and I last smoked on the 28th. At this point I would say I have been smoking cannabis about 2-3 times/week in the last couple of months. How screwed am I? How can I ensure that I pass this test? I really need this job.

Side note: one of my buddies has a leftover box of “UPass Version 8.4” that he would give me, should I take this route?

Did a Rapid eCup+/9B (10Pnl NoTHC) -32477N test this morning at a Questlab and used my girlfriend’s pee, they told me there was an error and will be sent to the MRO for review, she did a drug test for her own job a few weeks ago and she passed, she doesnt smoke at all or use any drugs but recently has had some bad headaches so she does take tylenol, advil, magnesium supplements and melatonin, could that be the reason why or am I cooked??

If not, what can I do to boost my chances? I’m 5’6 and low/medium body fat if this helps Cheers for the help!

Hey! For the month of nov/dec I was taking very low mg edibles (2.5 typically) a few times a week. The last I ate was on 12/27 and it was 5mg. I took a urine drug test on 1/27. I wasn’t worried about it but freaked out after the fact and pissed clean on 3 at home tests. Should I be worried? How long would it take the MRO to call me if I had failed? Reference: I’m 26F 170lbs and drink a shit ton of water on a regular basis- pissed almost clear for the test.

Crazy question but is it possible to pass lab test one day and fail lab test a week later? I’m 70+ days clean from weed and passed a lab test last week that I paid for myself and next week is the official employer lab test.

The reason I’m asking is because I read that you can pass at home test one day and fail at home test the next day so I’m wondering if that applies to lab test as well. I’ve passed over 10 at home tests both 50 ng/ml and 15 ng/ml plus the lab test i passed last week

Hey i took a drug test today, i had to mix the upass with a little of my sons urine since he wasn’t going much.. the lady told me it’s being sent to the lab and can take up to two weeks. It’s the quest lab btw.. i’m wondering has anyone has any experiences with UPASS and quest? my last drug test came back inconclusive with them, only difference was I didn’t add my sons urine in it.

I just had a drug test today and tested non negative for thc. I stopped smoking weed on October 3rd 2024. It is currently January 31st 2025. I used to be a daily smoker and I read somewhere that cannabis only stays in your urine and hair for 90 days. This is my second time testing non negative and I’m confused as to how it’s still in my system after I completely stopped smoking weed. I haven’t heard anything back from the testing agency after my first non negative and it has been well over 5 days since I tested.

Been sober for 14 days. Been passing at home tests from the corner store for a week now. Used to be a chronic smoker before I stopped for this test.

Fairly fast metabolism, around 170lbs.

Did the certo method: drank certo and Gatorade at 6:30am. Went back to sleep until 7:45. Woke up drank a couple cups of water and a coffee. Passed 2-3 more at home tests this morning before I went.

Took my actual urine test at around 9:20.

Will update with results. Should be within the next 5 days.

This is at the bottom of my order for my pre employment drug test does this tell what drugs and how many are tested for?
