Stan42 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'm on medication that results in a false positive for meth in urine drug tests. How do I stay out of jail? I've already been there. Even though I had the prescription, the doctor's number, and the hospital's number. The moment the police thought I was on meth they wouldn't even hear me out. Any advice?

uchibenkei Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I've been here quite a while and never been drug tested or had a run in with the police. My advice is stay out of trouble or stay out of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitman Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Get a good lawyer and tell him all about it first. Give him copies of the doctorsdescription as well... Also take a good travelinsurance with free lawyerservice in case needed. Or just go to the police and tell them about this...do what they advice you.

Sheryl Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 1. Stay out of situations that lead you to undergo a drug test. 2. Carry with you a doctor's letter stating the med you are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryinTH Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I have the same issue. Doesn't show up for meth but for cocaine or heroin. I always carry my prescription in my wallet. Never had to pee in the cup after I presented my letter and refused to exit my car. Wouldn't recommend it unless you have a yapping thai wife on the passengers seat, that'll do the talking and arguing.. and a few baht when handing over the letter helps too.

meom Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Put some washing powder under your nails before leaving home and dip your fingers during the pee test. It"ll neutralize things and you come up clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the next time I have an appointment I'll get him to write an explanation in Thai and have it signed by him and stamped by the hospital. The prescription alone doesn't help much since it's all in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
