Question by Matthew: Will other drugs appear on a THC urine test?
So I willingly submitted to weekly THC urine tests after being caught by my school so as to prove that I am not dependent on weed. When I went into the lab for the testing to be done the label said something like “THC somethingrather urine test”. Does that mean it’s only looking for THC or will other things appear as well?
