Q: Will Herbal Tea make
my drug test positive?
A: No, legal herbal teas will not affect your drug test.
Q: I heard poppy seeds will
make me test positive?
A: Certain poppy seeds eaten in sufficient quantity may cause a urine
test to be positive. This is why your organization should employ Medical
Review Officer (MRO) services with every positive test. Based on information
you provide the MRO and further Lab testing your result will be verified
as Negative.
Q: I heard I could use my
friends urine in place of my urine?
A: This would be very difficult considering the fact that the person
who collects the urine specimen watches for this. Also there's a temperature
strip on the collection bottle, your friends urine wouldn't be body temperature.
Q: Will consumption of foods
containing hemp seeds/flour/oil cause a positive drug test?
A: Not a chance! Consumption of hemp-foods is not a reasonable
explanation for a positive drug test.
Q: Is testing blood is more
accurate than testing urine?
A: No for many reasons, here are a few: Drugs do not bind to protein
in blood, Drugs are relatively stable in urine, and Drug levels are higher
in urine than blood.
Q: I heard that adulteration
of a urine specimen is easy, is this true?
A:
The science of drug testing is sound. Testing is accurate as long as urine
collections are conducted appropriately and the lab tests for specimen
integrity.
Q: I heard that taking Golden
Seal will cover up Marijuana in a urine specimen, is this true?
A: Not at all! In fact, Golden Seal is often tested for as an adulterate.
