Brief Answer:
Oxycodone and Methadone...
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thank you for posting.
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
Oxycodone and Methadone will cause a false positive result for drug test.
Oxycodone and Methadone are synthetic opioid medicines and analogues of morphine and heroine.
Both these medicines are used to relieve severe pain.
As with other opioid medicines, tolerance and dependence usually develop with repeated doses.
Ask me for anything unclear.
All the best.

But I need to know, SPECIFICALLY, WILL THESE DRUGS CAUSE A FALSE POSITIVE FOR MARIJUANA? I have tested positive twice when I have not used the drug.
Brief Answer:
Promethazine...
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for writing back.
It is Promethazine the medicine that is causing the false positive result for marijuana drug test.
Promethazine causes false positive for THC(tetrahydrocannabinol). THC is the main component of the cannabis plant.
This is the reason why you have tested positive twice.
If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
Wish you good health.
