HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
False positive results for marijuana can occur with some medications such as pantoprazole. In some tests medications such as ibuprofen can cause a falsely positive result.
Protein in the urine would not normally interfere with a drug test for marijuana.
The red discolouration of your urine may be an indication of blood which can be found in infection,as a result of trauma, stones, masses in the urinary tract, inflammatory disease of the kidneys.
I hope this helps
