I have in the past taken drug tests for a job. When I took these tests i was taking dexedrine by prescription from a doctor. This shows up as amphetimine on a drug test. When the doctor got the results he called me and told me I had tested positive for amphetimine and asked if I was taking any prescription medications to explain that. I told him I was prescribed dexedrine and he had me bring him the prescription. A couple days later I got a call from the workplace and I was hired. I assume he reported to the workplace that my drug test had come up clean, why else would he call me before reporting the results. I mean would it not be a violation of doctor patient confidentiality for him to report what prescription medication I was taking.
I now have a medical marijuana card and am currently looking for a job and will most likely soon take a drug test. My question is if I were to inform the tester of my medical marijuana card would they report to the employer that I tested positive for marijuana and amphetimine but that I was taking both legally or would they just report that my test had not revealed anything illegal. Again it seems like a gross violation of my doctor patient confidentiality for them to report to a workplace what prescription medications I am taking.
