if you took a prescription drug that you don't have a prescription for, if that drug is in your system and shows up on the urine test, that will count as a positive drug test after the Medical Review Officer reviews it. They will ask you for a prescription which you don't have.

Hope it's not in your system

Go to rite aid. You can get the test pretty cheap. I can say with 99% certainty, they will test for opiates. I've never heard of an employer NOT screening for opiates. It's number three after weed and alcohol. That being said, you will pass the test. You'd almost certainly pass it after just 24 hours with just a little hydrocodone use.

just because you have an Rx doesnt mean youll get or keep the job. it does mean youll get unemployment though if youve been working:D

2/50 states its legal to smoke weed, which takes the pressure off employers to test for it. 48 more states to go, then we can start declaring war on countries who ban we because they are suppressing freedom. and we go take all their weed.

hahahaha.

i dont eat bagels, and im not trying to do any BS. I am not a regular user, so i think that i should be fine. Its too late for a home drug test now, but im really feeling that i shouldnt be testing positive for it, just because im not a user. i only used it sat sun and thats it

This thread is hilarious. Seriously, all you guys should be "Dear Abby." Quite honestly, when there is a thread on employment issues here, I have to see it because it is guaranteed humor. Thank you.

you illegally ingested opiates for which you do not have a prescription

our society is governed by the rule of law son, and you broke those laws.

you must be prepared to live with the consequences of your actions

prepare for your job offer to die

whatever you do, don't admit to taking anything over the phone if you get interviewed by a medical review officer. play dumb

if you try to explain it or tell a story, they don't care they've heard it a million times, they just check a box that says "donor admitted to taking substance"

A negative is a couple of days, a positive the MRO (medical review officer) calls and explains what they found, if opiates were found he would ask if you have a current scribt for it and offer to re-test, at your expense (same sample though), Monday will be more than 7 days and you only used a tiny amount in a cough syrup product, you will be fine..
