Well, from what I've read: if you want just Marinol to help with your migraines, you should be okay with the drug tests. You will test positive for marijuana initially but later in the process they'll ask you what medications you're taking. If you explain Marinol, and show a filled prescription, they should report you as negative to your employer. I'm not an expert, never even had a drug test before but that's what I've gathered from reading various stuff around the 'net. Your mileage may vary.

My concern is after showing them the Marinol, if they have a way of running a second test to verify that it's just Marinol in your system and you haven't been smoking as well. If I understand it: Marinol just uses one of many potential cannabanoids, I wonder if they could simply test for a different chemical found in smoked marijuana that's not in Marinol.

Anyway, hope this helps you. Hopefully someone else can help answer the rest of the question. I'm guessing since Marinol hasn't been around very long, and since it was only recently made Schedule III, allowing it to be given to less critical patients, there probably aren't many who've run into this situation.
glowingone Reviewed by glowingone on . Marinol & Drug Tests I'm hoping someone might be able to answer this question for me. I recently joined a new company which has a policy allowing them to request drug tests. The job is great: good money and good work. So I'm going to accept the position. I'm not sure if the drug tests are random or only done with cause (i.e. you show up to work looking stoned). The way the policy is written, it doesn't say anything about them having randomized drug tests -- just that they can perform them at their discretion. Rating: 5
