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 friend's 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.
