Brief Answer:
Watson 3202 does not contain marijuana ingredients.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

The ingredients of Watson 3202 are acetaminophen and hydrocodone bitartrate.

Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol. It is a non-narcotic pain killer and fever reducer.

Hydrocodone bitartrate is an opiate (narcotic).

Watson 3202 does not have same or similar ingredients to marijuana.

The hydrocodone will definitely show up on a drug screen. But the drug screen will be positive for opiates, not for cannabis. So if it is specifically cannabinoids that you are concerned about on a drug test, this shouldn't happen.

I hope this information helps.

Brief Answer:
Watson 3202 only has those 2 active ingredients.

Detailed Answer:
By no other I think you are asking if Watson 3202 has any other ingredients?

No, it only has acetaminophen and hydrocodone bitartrate as active ingredients.

Inactive ingredients (which are things to hold the pill together and make it taste good) are
silicon dioxide colloidal
corn starch
croscarmellose sodium
crospovidone
microcrystalline cellulose
povidone
pregelatinized corn starch
stearic acid
sucrose
FD&C Yellow No. 6

None of these are in marijuana either.

So there is nothing in Watson 3202 that would be in marijuana.

But it does have an opiate so the urine test would be positive for opiates/narcotic.
