Question I recently have had a positive result on a urine drug screen for marijuana. I do not smoke marijuana. I do take Celebes every day, Xanax as needed for sleep and hydrocodone as needed for chronic pain. I took the test on Tuesday, had taken a hyrdocodone and xanax on Sunday, these dd not show on my results. I am confused how my results would come back positive for this, when I have never used. I do use a body lotion and have for several years, called Hempz, contains no THC, but has cannabis stavia in it. I have been tested twice, prior to this, and never had any positive results. Any answers?
Answer Hi Patti,
There is an increasing incidence of false positives in random drug testing in America. There is need for people in the US to stand up and challenge the whole system. It would be very difficult for outsiders like me to do anything to help, I am an Indian based in India and really unable to help or influence people who are influenced by this in the US.
