Brief Answer:
Marijuana urine testing and false positive results
Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic.
Well since it has been three months since you quit, and you have history of prolonged usage before, so in such cases normally urinary detection stays positive for months ( in some cases it is shown to stay positive for as long as 9 months ) but average individuals test positive for 3-5 months.
Some suggest using lots of water before testing dodges the test but their is no concrete evidence to it and it also depends upon every Individuals body's response and metabolic rate.
The drugs you mentioned haven't known to cause a false positive test though using other pain killers alongwith aspirin does give positive tests.
Hope it has answered your question. If you dont have more questions, kindly close the discussion.
