45. Problem is, these tests don't work that way

What they show is whether you've used drugs within a given period.

Coke/Heroin - w/in 2-3 days
Weed- depending on frequency of use, couple days to couple months.

Additionally, specificity is a problem. For instance, certain over-the-counter cold medicines (wanna say diphenhydramine but can't remember for sure) can show up as + for THC. A poppy seed bagel can show up as + for opiates (heroin).
