Nothing is a 100% accurate. If you don't loose your doctor- U R ahead of the game. Just make sure they draw urine again to confirm the test. I didn't notice if you got results immediately-which increases the chance of a false postive or if the results came in later.
For what it's worth one lab showed that i was in kidney failure earlier this year-odd because I was hiking in slot canyons and doing easy rock scrambling in the slots and trails, which you don't do while in kidney failure. I asked about the state rating of the lab-I never got an explanation-but my kidney failure dissappeared. Put some pressure on the doctor and the lab. I called my insurance reps. about 5 lab offices, made an appointment with doctor-and made public fun of the lab-mocked it. Now you can't mock it, but you can be indignent enough to ask questions: What is the accuracy rate of the lab? Was this a quickie or a thorough test? What are the chances that the sample could be contanimated by a tech or dirty equipment? Could the equipment be malfunctioning? My son had one test about 6 times and it freaked him out. The VA bought lab equipment at the exact same time at many hospitals. The equipment went out-malfunctioned about the same time. He finally got lab results, when all of the malfunctioning equipment was replaced.
Good luck-I think that you need for the lab to make sense out of this-and explain it to you.
Here is a list of medications and what they can cause as far as false positives. Many can cause a false positive for THC.
I must warn you though, the test for THC has become more accurate over the years and it can be argued that false positives are not likely.
You will note that the NSAIDs like Advil can cause a false positive.

NSAIDS do NOT cause false positive for THC. If they did I never would've passed a drug test in my life. Quit giving potheads extra excuses.
To the idiot who said NSAIDS dont cause false negative UA's - you need to do some research as they CAN cause a false positive and it has been verified by several not for profit companies who research this thing. Telling the person who answered this to "Stop giving potheads false hope" shows a total lack of understanding about the topic, as well as a cynical nature that borders on being a flaming douche bag. Misinformation and a holier-than-thou attitude is why this country if falling to pieces. Maybe you should climb down of your high horse, take your nose out of the air and put it into a BOOK sometimes...
I just came across this post. Whoever said NSAIDS do not cause a false-positive for marijuana is obviously uneducated. I am 58 years old and have never smoked marijuana in my entire life. In my past I spent 20 years in the medical field in various capacities but only recently decided to go back and refresh and obtain my Phlebotomy certification. After doing this and being set up for an internship at a lab and doing my drug screen, I tested positive for marijuana. Needless to say I ws flabbergasted. After researching this in more detail as well as confirming information with my Dr. I learned this is quite common. I take several medications, and not just NSAIDS that in fact can cause a false positive, and actually even some of your allergy meds and nasal sprays as well.
Not knowing all of this, I had taken all of medications as I normally do on a daily basis and for a terrible headache about an hour before I did my lab testing, I also had taken 2 Bayer aspirin (also very common for false-positive marijuana testing) Now I am going thorough the motions as well as the doubts that come associated with this. I find it really disturbing with medical technology being what it is in the day and age, that these tests are not more specific given all of the medications that can cause false-positive testing for this as these are the kind of tests/situations that could really screw up someone's life pretty good, given their particular situation.
Giving potheads an excuse??? Seriously??? What an ignorant, rude and uneducated response!!!
Sorry, but your response and insensitivity to people genuinely experiencing a problem with this, when they have to take what are sometimes, life sustaining medications, beyond their control, really stirred up anger in me !!!
