I have tried to get a job at 2 different places and failed 2 drug tests, and I don't even use drugs I'm tired of taking them and failing them and looking like a dope head when i don't even use drugs. what is a place someone can work without a drug test. just somewhere i can work to pay bills and rent doesn't have to be a fancy job.

there are detoxification kits you can buy. Go to your local head shop and buy one. Then go take your drug test and everything is peachy-p! And I don't know why you would be failing all those drug tests....hmmmmm.

Did the doctor call you when you failed the drug test? False positives happen for a lot of reasons. Some over the counter pain relievers cause false positives even. If the company you are applying to is having you drug test on the spot and analyzing there, there could be an issue as those tests do find drugs but can't tell the difference.
You need to request to send your specimen off to a laboratory that does Ion Mass Spectrometer testing. And to speak to an MRO (Medical Review Officer) that will ask you a bunch of questions. If it turns out that you happened to eat something that causes a false positive, he/she will know what is happening will report you back to the company as being a true negative.
Larger companies use this method of testing, it's much more reliable and much more fair.

You need to find out why you're testing positive, assuming you truly are not a user. False positives when you are taking no over the counter medication and no prescription medication for the past 30 days can signal a serious health problem, such as kidney or liver disease.
There are many, many legitimate medications out there that can cause a false positive. What are you testing positive for? THC + can be caused by a large-ish dose of Ibuprofen before your test.
I've had only one pre-employment screening in my life, but I've also only held 3 separate jobs. It's hard to find places that don't test. The two that didn't test me, I was doing bullshit secretarial work. The one that did test me, I'm doing their books, so obviously they're going to drug test me when money and finances are involved.
1) Find out what you're testing positive for. You can do this with a home drug test, they're pretty accurate if done correctly.
2) Think about any over the counter or prescription medications you have taken in the past 30 days and at what doses.
3) Consult with a pharmacist on whether or not these drugs can cause a false positive.
4) If you have not taken any OTC or prescription medications, GET TO YOUR DOCTOR.
Trust me on this. I have kidney issues and actually initially failed my pre-employment screening. I expressed this to the HR department with a note from my doctor concerning kidney disease, and they had the specimen reanalyzed. Upon reanalyzing it, it was clean.
Detox drinks are also notorious for failing. If you need to detox, the only safe way to pass a piss test is to substitute, and this is very difficult to do these days. They're also not going to help you if you have a health problem.

Oh give me a break. You are doing something if you are failing multiple drug tests. If you are taking a legitimate medication that might be altering the test results, tell the drug testing company prior to testing. Otherwise, why should any employer take you on? You are a liability to them right off the bat. They drug screen for a reason!

In this day and age most companies drug test due to insurance liability. Have you asked why you keep failing? If you are getting false positives there has to be a reason. most test split the sample into two parts and if you get a positive you can retest the remaining sample to a higher testing protocol.

There aren't any buddy boy. But I would worry about why you keep failing tests when you don't do drugs instead of looking for jobs that don't require drug tests.

Find out why you failed. That doesn't make sense. You will not be able to find a decent job if you cannot pass these tests. Tell them to do a hair follicle test.
