Brief Answer:
Not for marijuana but may for opiates

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.
Vicodin contains synthetic opiate and may give positive test for opiates. It is not implicated in producing false positive for marijuana. Commonly used anti inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs), ulcer medicine like Omeprazole and even Vitamin B2 may produce false positive results.
