I lost my job for testing positive for marijuana and I don't smoke Marijauna, or at least haven't in a long time. Some research has shown it will show a false positive but I am having a hard time getting anyone to put it in writting so I can either get my job back or at least qualify for unemployment benifits. If I smoked and was caught then I would take my punishment like a man but I am innocent. Any help would be appreciated.
Will Tramadol show a false positive for Marijuana in a urine test?

As a medical assistant and working with PTs and I myself am prescribed Tramadol (Ultram) for pain. While in school we did drug tests and I always showed positive for THC even though I do not smoke marijuana. I have been prescribed Tramadol for over 2 years , I am a veteran so I need it for pain but always show up as THC in drug tests. Just thought I would let you know that maybe over time it will give false positives, but as far as I know, It does show a false positive. Hope it helps

Tramadol should not show positive for marijuana,since tramadol is more or less a synthetic opiate. A person who I knew was on tramadol passed the urine drug test without any problem.
