Question: I am in the middle of a child custody case, and we both had to take drug test for hair, mine came back positive for cocaine, I take SLIMPLE supplements that CONTAIN coca leaves, and I drink herbal tea from Peru, which also has coca leaves in it.. would this have an effect on it
Brief Answer:
seems likely BUT
Detailed Answer:
get the whole results of cocaine and metabolite.
They are supposed to be in a particular ratio. If ALL cocaine, no metabolite and VERY high, you got cocaine ON you. not in you.
if all metabolite and no cocaine, its the supplement
if both are very very low dose... who knows?
