Anyone been licensed with a pot charge?

Nurses Criminal

Published

I have a urine drug screen coming up and am worried. I read that NSAIDS can cause false positives for THC. I am prescribed up to 2400 mg ibuprofen and 15 mg meloxicam daily, PRN. Does anyone have any experience with this? I wonder if I should quit taking anything for a few days prior, but I have arthritis and it is hard to work without it... Thanks!

Yes, I have heard that it can in high doses. However, you have prescription for it, so it should not be a concern.:wink2:

High doses of NSAIDS can cause you to test positive for benzo's. I wouldn't worry about it. You have legal a prescription. They know what can/can't cause false positives.

I was convicted in 2005 with possession of schedule VI (marijuana) and paraphanalia, both misdemeanors. Since then I have completed nine months of treatment and have been clean fifteen months. I am not asking for legal advice; I have checked with BON and my crimes are not what they are looking for as far as denying licensure. I would like anyone with experience to let me know how it is looking for employment with a record. Thanks!
