A customer called one time confused as to why she could have failed her test. She was not a heavy user of THC and purchased some kind of detox drink that she drank a couple hours before her test. She thought because she was not a heavy user and did not smoke for quite some time she would have passed with this drink.

“After taking my test and looking at my urine I noticed a slight light pinkish color. I just thought that was the detox drink. I gave in my test.  A couple days later I was in pain and could not stop peeing. I went to the doctor and it turned out I had a urinary tract infection. The doctor told me that the pinkish color in my urine was blood. I have been researching this topic and saw that urinary tract infections can cause blood in the urine. Is there anyway I could have failed my test because of this?”

“Yes. Any kind of blood in the urine can make you fail a test. The detox drink that you had used only worked on your urine and not for your blood. The blood in your urine could have made you fail your test.”

“Thank You”

If you have a similar situation or your period (females), check with a doctor and the lab and tell them your circumstances – they might let you reschedule your test.
