I'd like to know about hemp, hemp seeds and hemp oils. Nowadays when a MRO sees a red flag they simply go with it. My wife tested positive for THC. She had begun a hemp concentration diet from the seeds to the oils. She was called into work and was given a random drug test and five days later was told by the MRO that she tested positive for THC. She enrolled in a SAP with a professional SAP as her counselor. She went in and was tested and the test proved that she was negative for all including THC. Then the SAP recommended a 10hr mandatory program because of her profession. After further information, study and review from pharmacist and nutritionists we've come to find out that " Hemp " is a mutual family member of the Cannabis (Cannabidiol) Sativa family THC (Marijuana). The hemp doesn't promote that " psychoactive " high but it still has " THC " present in it. Given that " Marijuana / THC " in research are one in the same by way of the stalks growth. Is it possible to scientifically say that the metabolization is going to be the same and no different whether ingested as nutrients or smoked cause either and both ways it's in the body? It's said that in the environment of marijuana smoke one would really need to inhale lots of smoke to acquire a high level of or levels of THC and that has never been actually tested nor proven at least i cant locate it for trail report. So given that my wife ingested this Hemp Oil. 1200 - 2000 mg Consumed it by drinking it. We have the bottles and receipt of sale but employer is fighting against her. The Courier which performed the random test didn't offer legally the privilege to inform the MRO of substances which she had been consuming by way of the form which ask such questions and I feel that if she was able to inform them of such before testing we wouldn't be going in this direction legally.

You are full of BS! Educated beyond your intelligence? Just because you went to College does not mean that you are a Genius! It is related to Cocaine? Does that mean anything? That's right, Drug testers never make mistakes? How often do you calibrate your testing equipment? What if I had Lidocaine on my hands and it mixed with urine? Do they leave samples outside of the Office in BS lock box? Would that not break the chain of custody? I worked in labs and saw what some *****s working there did? It just depends on Humans as much as machines getting it right?

Sorry Mr or Ms lab tech. Some people's bodies metabolize substances different than others. This could happen a lot more than you realize. Except how many people get drug tested soon after a dental procedure. Wait until it happens to someone with the money and power to have a legit medical study done on this. This has happened to me three times. But I get told if it's not in a medical journal than its not true.

You could not be more wrong. It actually DOES depend on what specific test you have performed on the urine. Is it a quick, in the office test? If so, which type? Which manufacturer? You can demand a second sample using a different test, if available in the office. This is typically for DOT physicals, Counseling ordered by probation/parole, or even CVS brand 's name brand..." said with a sarcastic tone"
Anyway...I have seen topical as well as injectable analgesics throw a false positive on these types of tests. I have seen one positive, then the second sample in the office negative. The lab confirmed it was negative. Anyway...medications can interfere... The person at the lab can make a mistake. Maybe they didn't calibrate the machine properly.... If you haven't done cocaine, it shouldn't come up positive when confirmed correctly by the lab. If you DID cocaine, if you were drinking at the time, and you had some good s***, it can stay in your system a LONG time. Up to 20 says. If you are clean, like I said, send it to confirm. You can challenge it & have it sent to the lab, if it isn't already protocol.

I don't care if your a pathologist and your "opinion" is what is published and proven. You are and will be disproven in the future on your comments, (in caps!).
Many Americans are losing their lively hoods over you and your co-professional opinions and gathering from your strong sentiment, prejudice!

I've had a similar experience. I was using eardrops that contained an antibiotic, steroid, and pain reliever. The pain reliever was benzocaine. I was also prescribed augmentin, an oral antibiotic. I had an allergic reaction to the augmentin and wound up going to the hospital via ambulance. I told the doctors that I was on the meds. They did some tests, one of them being a toxicology screening. I don't do drugs, and I barely drink. After about 4 hours and an IV flush, they come in and tell me to stop the augmentin and the drops, duh. I was also told to stop the cocaine. I was shocked! When I tell you that I flipped out, I mean it. I had never been so insulted. I couldn't believe that this happened to me in a hospital setting. Yes, any drug that ends in caine will get you a positive drug result.

Umm u are CLEARLY wrong about this because I too have tested positive for cocaine in a hair drug test after getting local anesthesia and they used lidocaine. I have NEVER used drugs in my life and was also 5 1/2 months pregnant at the time. The ONLY things I had been taking at the time were Tylenol, my prenatals and about a month before I was taking the antibiotic amoxicillin for my tooth infection..After getting another test done to try and prove them wrong and get my job back i still tested positive for cocaine and found out that the metabolite present was something called Benzolecgonine. I have NEVER done cocaine in my life so I know it has to be true as to what everyone else is saying! I lost a good job due to this bs and I want some sort of answers! Smh

Well, I was tested positive for cocaine and don't even touch the stuff. But my 8mg of dilaudid that I take up to 5 per day and 20ml of liquid morphine and lidocaine topical rub that I apply on my knees, lower back and neck. And last but not least 10MG percocet and no opioids were detected. What's wrong with this situation. Oh yeah, I have uncontrolled type 2 diabetes sliding scale. I have had a partial pancreas removal and a total splenectomy. Can somebody explain this problem?

That is seriously Wrong Mr. lab Tech for over 20 yrs.
The Metabolite is the same in all of those Drugs named, The Liver produces it so that's the catalyst for the test.
It get be more refined to a test, but no companies will care
To go further than the Random.
It also has a lot to do on the Crude Testing, and the Technician testing it.
So once again, don't be so rude in judgement, and act like your not Human.
There are variables in Everything.

Fought the lab tech! I too took a urine test for my grandson which we all knew at some point we would be taking. So I was just prescribed lidocaine on Friday and took my test today. I have lupus and take a pain meds and a nerve meds! I don't do ANY illegal drugs! I see a pain management Dr every month and he also does random testing. My test came back showing a low dose of coke! I was shocked! And extremely embarrassed this being my reputation and for my grand baby. So my attorney and I requested a hair test because we both said it had to be lidocaine. I see lots of specialists and I'm always getting urine tested. For some reason all these doctors do them. I just had 2 other ones this month, 1 for my job and my Dr. Neither of those were a fail; that was before the lidocaine. I was sent to a drug test company who even said that a quick test with the use of the lidocaine is what did it cause there is 1 thing that coke and lidocaine have in common and if the test isn't sent off to be analyzed it can show failed. But I wasn't taking anymore chance! I opted for 90 day hair test! So to everyone on here yes it can sometimes show up as coke! If it does you need to request that your urine be sent off and analyzed. If you have already lost your child or job get a lawyer are do whatever you can to get your reputation back. Hair drug test usually cost around $100 in Alabama. We even called pharmacies and it was even in the US pharmacy book. I can't remember the name of 1 thing that causes it. But I can tell you that quick test aren't reliable. It doesn't always do it but it can. My test showed top line was faint and they said since it was faint that I had to have used it at some point. So if you don't do drugs and you don't want your reputation slandered fight for a send off test. They do something with a gas and it separates that. But you need to make sure whoever is doing your test knows what happened and make sure they do that gas test. I'm sorry I don't know what the actual testing process it but the place I went to told me about it and told me they could of sent off my urine. Hope this helps! And yes the 20 year lab tech was right about the test the lab does. Just not right about a urine test.

My 25 year old daughter has severe nerve pain in her leg. She was told by a friend that using Lidocaine ointment would numb the pain. The problem is, shes afraid it might show up on a u. a. as positive drug uae. She's 140 days clean and sober, and in the process of getting her children returned to her from foster care. Should she use it or not?

Sorry lidocaine does show in a UA for cocaine, but not in a hair follicle test. I have the test to prove it. So lab tech of 20 yrs - no I don't, didn't, and wasn't using cocaine.
