Im in this court ordered program that gives us about 2 drug screenings a week. I dont do most drugs but i WAS smoking weed. I have not touched anything in 8 weeks now and i am very proud of my self. Well, this morning the supervisor for drug court called me and told me my last test was dirty for pot! I could not belive it. Like i said i deffinitly have not touched anything not even alcohol. So I told her that and of course she hears it all the time. She told me if i pay 35$ they can retest it using a more sophisticated test BUT if it comes back dirty again there going to give me a double sanction. which means i'll probably sit in jail for longer if i didnt retry it. I went ahead and paid for the test becuase like i said I know I didnt smoke and it shouldnt be in there from 8 weeks, although i smoked ALOT of pot. I find out thursday if i go to jail or not and im so stressed. How often are these tests wrong and could i still be dirty from 8 freaking weeks ago?

Be careful. 8 weeks isn't anything. There are sophisticated tests that can tell if someone smoked pot in the 70s. You're doing good, don't give up.

The other answers are right. But I want to ad something. If you are AROUND anything, and can smell it, then you will test for it. You are under a lot of scrutiny here, but it will be over soon enough. Hang in there, take your lumps. If it were me, I wouldn't risk a second strike by getting retested.

Tests are wrong very rarely, but they could be wrong. Depending on the test they give, it could pop positive for your smoking 8 weeks ago. Sounds like you're pretty honest with yourself and the court folks, so keep trying to stay clean for whatever reasons you're doing it and just accept whatever consequences your prior actions led you to. Good Luck to you.

Marijuana and its metabolites can stay in the tissues of your body for many weeks. Yes, it is possible to get a positive test for at least trace amounts of marijuana after 8 weeks. It's not very likely, but it is possible.

Bad news, from urine they can pick up from 3 months ago, accurately.
Hair analysis can pick up 14 year's worth of drugs.
Most of these detox mixes don't work., don't waste your money on them, friends of mine have been bust with those.
