Never trust a cookie
Today, I'm a proud non drug user, but I trusted an oat cookie at my brother's birthday, which was loaded with pot. Tomorrow is our mandatory drug screening at work, my job is government based, and I worked my ass off to get it. Anyone who tests positive or misses the test is sacked immediately. FML

Just Say Yes
Today, my boss decided to have the whole staff drug tested and fire everyone who failed. Out of an original staff of 14 people, only my boss, two coworkers and I remain. I now have four times my normal workload and am seriously thinking maybe I should've said "Yes" to drugs. FML

Unfair
Today, I was dismissed because of my company's strict "no drugs" policy. Yesterday, I had a talk with my team leader and confessed that I have to take antidepressants; this arse then reported it to the management, and they fired me because they are not aware of what these pills contain, and it could affect my performance.

Today, I had to take a drug test for my new job, which I desperately need and which took me over a year to land. I got a shy bladder and couldn't pee. They marked me as non-compliant and revoked the job offer. FML

Legalize it
Today, after arriving, I was told that there will be mandatory drug tests for everybody at my work. Yesterday, I did joints at a friend's party, as it was her birthday. I'm fucked. FML

Today, I found out why I receive random drug tests at work. The safety department was specifically told by my boss to check up on me because I always seem way too cheerful to not be high. I've passed every single test. FML

Tricked
Today, while answering an "anonymous" survey about how to keep my school drug free, I told them they should stop drug testing the kids that they know don't do drugs and test the sketchier ones. They in turn drug tested me. FML

Today, I asked my boss for a raise, explaining that another shop offered me a job at a higher rate, but I would stay if he would offer me the same. Instead, he fired me then called the other shop and said I was fired for failing a drug test. FML

You know that there are other methods of drug testing, correct? Hair testing, a few different kinds that test fluids in organs, and several different types of urine drug tests. It would have been a better idea to request a retest or pay for one out of your own pocket.

Have you been eating many poppy seed muffins lately?

You are correct... not only can a hair test show you've taken drugs, but how long ago you took them. Urine tests are notorious for false positives.

Especially when the people handling the sample don't wear gloves.

OP shouldn't have to pay for anything. OP isn't the one that ****** up. The person that wants to tests done should use more accurate tests or multiple tests to begin with.

I agree that OP shouldn't have to pay for a test too prove their innocence, but unfortunately that's the only way that the vast majority of people who order drug tests would be willing to even consider retesting.

If you don't specify which drug you tested positive for, then I'm going to go ahead and say this never happened.

you'd have to eat like 1,000 in one day for it to show up on a test
Kougeru 12
That isn't true at all. http://www.snopes.com/medical/drugs/poppyseed.asp People have tested "positive" after a single bagel. There isn't 1000 seeds on a bagel.

Snopes is a bullshit website.

Could you ask them to do a retest OP? Just to be sure?

Lots of things can give you a false positive. If you don't list over the counter and prescription drugs, you can fail a drug test for not telling them about those. Do some research

I've never failed a drug test before but I assume you could ask for a retest and find out what you tested positive for as well as give the people that are testing you. You should have talked with HR before you quit. Im sure there is a procedure for something like this. Hope you get you job back

Do your friends smoke pot? BC if they've smoked it around you the THC or whatever can remain in your system for up to 23 days even if you didn't actually partake in the the smoking.

this is only if you were in a sealed enclosed space, such as a car with all the windows up. also it's a small amount unless the marijuana is high grade. secondhand marijuana smoke in open spaces will not show up on a urine sample. I have no idea about hair, blood or any other type.

Maybe somebody in your workplace wanted your job. Slipped something in your drink, so you would test positive.

Poppy seeds can cause your results to come back positive for opiates. There are trace amounts of morphine and codeine that can be registered in the urine for up to 48 hours after consumption. Eating enough poppy seeds on a bagel or muffin can cause a drug test to come back positive.
