What Causes False Positive For Cocaine?
I m going through a custody battle and was given a drug test on 8/8/16 and to my surprise I tested positive for cocaine. I told the people I had no idea how that was possible so on 8/22/16 I tested positive again. Now these people are looking at me like I m some type of drug addict. Is there any possible way that something could cause this false positive

Hello,
A false positive test is unlikely.
You can go for a high-end test like chromatography for confirmation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
