Unique Question, Metabolite vs Drug

[Typ0]

Do urine drug screens only test for the metabolites of the drugs (after its processed by the body) or do they also test for the drug itself?

As a hypothetical situation lets say I dipped some resin into some water and then preformed a drug test on the water. Would it come pack positive for THC?

Follow up question, what if I dropped some resin chunks in there and let them sit. Would it test positive for THC then?

Doesnt work that way. ALL urine drug testing devices recognize drug metabolites and not the drug itself. THC has to be ingested and metabolized in order to be detected on a U/A.
