IBUPROFEN can cause a false positive?!?!?!!! Wow, I'd never have thought that!!! It's my drug of choice for my headaches - but I'll definitely keep that in mind if Mike ever has to have another drug test (since it's around, he uses it, too, on the occasional times he has a headache).
Thanks for the info.
And, yes, you can definitely test positive if you are around someone who is smoking weed. If you inhale the smoke in the room, it gets into your system. You can get high and definitely will test positive for THC. -
it CAN cause a flase positive. not that it will. I take it by the handfull for my back. I'm almost always on some and never had a positive

Thanks, MM. Good to know. I do, too, for headaches at times. Do be careful - it's very hard on the liver when taken in large quantities for long periods of time.
