Question 1

Do I need a doctor's prescription?

Accepted Answer

No prescription is needed. This is a direct-access laboratory test that you can order yourself online. Simply purchase the test, visit a Quest location with your test order, and provide your sample.

Question 2

How long does marijuana stay detectable in urine?

Accepted Answer

Detection time varies significantly based on frequency of use, body composition, and individual metabolism. Occasional users may test positive for 1-3 days, while chronic users can test positive for 30 days or longer after last use.

Question 3

Will CBD products cause a positive result?

Accepted Answer

Pure CBD products should not cause a positive marijuana test since CBD does not metabolize to THC-COOH. However, some CBD products derived from cannabis may contain enough THC to potentially trigger a positive result, especially with regular use.

Question 4

Can secondhand marijuana smoke cause a positive test?

Accepted Answer

Standard cutoff levels are designed to prevent false positives from passive exposure to marijuana smoke. However, intense exposure in enclosed spaces over extended periods could theoretically result in detectable levels.

Question 5

Can I use insurance or HSA/FSA?

Accepted Answer

This test is intended for direct payment and is not covered by insurance. However, you may be able to use HSA or FSA funds for the purchase. Check with your plan administrator or tax professional to confirm eligibility.
