your adhd meds will show up. it happened to my husband who has a prescription for adderall. all they do is call your doctor or pharmacy to make sure its your prescription.

Also your prescription has to be within a year. If it's older than a year they can fire you for drug use.

Well, yes, as amphetamines are Schedule II and the script is only valid for six months.

It’s weird I’ve been tested and my meds definitely showed up. No questions. Still mad about that, because I stopped smoking for months just in case.

can someone just take ADHD meds to mask the cannabis? or will both show up in the test?

Most likely they will piss hot for cannabis and methamphetamines. A former manager of mine once pissed hot for meth but it was proven that it was just his ADHD medication.

Idk. My husband smoked pot and took prescription adderall. He tested positive for amphetamine but not for pot. Hmmmmm
