Well, pending the results of a couple of tests, one of which the teahouse helped me "study" for. I had two pots of tea and some extra water.

OK that was a bad idea! You just gave them a sample of water.

At better labs, dilution requires a re-test. At worse labs, I don't know if they find it.

I knew a guy who swears he was marked as having failed due to dilution, but I don't believe him. But this may be important: remember, if they try to fail you due to dilution, jump up and down and threaten legal activity at the top of your voice. That will be your only recourse.

There were poppyseeds in the salad dressing. The pee-lady assured me that wouldn't be an issue, though.

Accurately answering test-takers is not her job. It can definitely be an issue. Snopes agrees.

So: at the end of the day, you may be lucky enough to have actually diluted yourself out of a false positive.

Assuming the test comes back negative (it will, trust me)

Trust you, no! If you want to know how to pass a drug screen, ask someone who does drugs!

Because there are a few ways to guarantee passing a drug screen.

But not doing drugs is not one of them.

What!? I've been doing urinalysis for the Army for 20 years now, the best way to pass a drug screen is to not do drugs. Or have the prescription for the ones you are taking.

Well lucky you! (Would you be notified of a false positive or just retested?)

Doesn't work for everyone at every lab though. Plenty of proof of that is available.

They aren't testing for drugs so not doing drugs is no guarantee. That's my point.

I'm not sure if they get that, unless what you are saying is that they are testing for drug metabolites rather than the actual substance?
