    Did you take it at a hospital? If so then you will get a call and they will tell you. I remember a doctor called my cell and asked me iof there was a medical reason for me to use marijuana even though there is no medical in my state, I guess he was checking if I was one of the extremely few federal medical patients. I was like no and he said that I tested positive for it. He told me that he would be telling the employer my results.

    I don't know but there is nothing you can do at this point so just wait it out. If they don't call back you don't have a job. For now I would keep up the job hunt.

    I got paper work for mine from my employer and went to a clinic to take the test. The lady said if I tested positive for any drugs (which I do not do) I would have had to pay for the testing. I never got a call about my results and never had to pay anything. So basically, if you didn't get a call, you are probably fine.

    If you don't do drugs then you need not worry.

    Drug testing for a job? Seriously? Are you from the USA?

    It's EXTREMELY common for jobs in the USA to test you for drugs. Especially ones that involve operating machinery or vehicles.

    None of my construction jobs required drug tests. All of my mechanical jobs and even one of the food service ones required them. Fortunately, I am one of the five Americans who have never tried an illegal substance.

    As for the OP, to be blunt the results might have come back positive and the prospective employee has decided to look elsewhere without the benefit of a call. I've had too many jobs do the same after interviews and have never liked it. One thing I love about my current job are the ones who come in saying they haven't smoked for a few months and are ready to join. Give them a quick DAT test and they turn out positive. Of course a double thread does not say much as to your current state of mind (can't recall ever seeing one).

    To be safe, I would give it until Monday. It might just be that the results are not back. If the company doesn't call you by Monday afternoon, call them and ask if they are ready for you to start work. Sound positive that you got the job and know you are clean, the worst they can do is say you failed the drug test and are not being hired.

    Did all my PS posts get deleted or something? I could've sworn I answered this thread.

    Edit: Nevermind, I posted in the other drug testing thread. So, see: other thread.

    On a good note they just called back today and I got the job and passed the test. The detox drink helped. This is the OP.

    never rely on a detox drink.

    I mean, I've known people to fail after using one, I've failed home tests after using one(was trying to see if it worked for a court appearance later that month). They just kinda suck. I mean, 20-40 bucks for a test that you use once, or go to GNC and pick up all the vitamins they have in the drink, and drink a shitton of gatorade/water works just as well.
