or do they test the same things? I always thought that they tested for different things and a drug test was a more specific version of a general blood test. would drugs like marijuana still show up on a routine blood test

A routine blood test is different from a drug test. For a drug test, they have to specifically look for drugs like marijuana or cocaine. In a routine blood test, they are looking for diseases, sugar levels, and blood cell count......good luck!

They are different. A routine blood or urine test is looking for signs of illness or wellness. A drug blood or urine test is specifically ordered as a toxicology screen. They have to specify which drugs they are testing for , also. Marijuana would only show up on a routine test if it was ordered to be tested.

When you are given a routine blood test, the are looking for white cell count, red cell count, and a whole list of things too long to write. No one can take a drug test without your permission. So NO, drugs will not show up in a routine blood test or urine test unless they are looking specifically for drugs and like I said, they cannot drug test you without your permission. It is against the law.

Yes . . .
Routine tests do NOT look for drugs , that is a specific test on its own.
Every blood or urine test is for a specific thing . . .
There is no magical "one test tells all" , although with 1 blood draw they do run multiple tests.

A blood test is a test done on blood and a urine test is a test done on urine. A drug test can be done on blood or hair or saliva. Different companies test on different components at different times. Drug tests are not just automatically done on blood work, they have to be specifically ordered by the physician.

Lmao no! If your gonna do drugs then you should know a little more about it. they check for certain things when they do a blood or urine test so if your gettin a drug test and you do drugs then you best start drinkin as much water and vinegar your body could possibly take but if your just going for a normal check-up or something then you have nothing to worry about.
