    Does any presciption drug mimic marijuana on drug test?
    Are there any presciption drugs that mimic marijuana on a pee test? Also, does eating asparagus have any impact since it is an alkaline vegetable? Thanks.

    No, and it is not the alkaline that tests in pot,

    It's the THC that is tested for.

    Making your blood more alkaline will increase the speed at which you metabolize amphetamines. I don't know about asparagus though.

    No there is nothing that will mimic pot in a urine screen only thc reads as thc in a blood screen, asparagus will only increase metabolism and turn your pee green.

    Please keep an eye on the dates - this is a long dead thread. There are more recent threads which could use your input.

    Lest this not linger for future observers:

    There are several products that will show a false positive on initial screens for THC.

    All Proton Pump Inhibitors (prescription)
    Dronabinol (Marinol) (Prescription)*
    Efavirenz (prescription)
    NSAIDs (prescription and OTC)

    This list is not exhaustive. There are many other sources for THC false positives in urine, hair and blood drug testing for marijuana use.

    Every drug test administered in the US tests for THC and metabolites. It is important that full, complete and reliable information be provided.

    *This prescription medication will test positive at both screening and confirmation. It contains synthetic THC.
