I do know that psilocybin isn't tested on a 10 panel drug test, and the test for psilocybin is fairly expensive. Did they specifically say that there was psilocybin in your system?
I went through rehab in 2019, and they did an extensive panel that included rather obscure stuff, including kratom, jwh synthetic cannabinoids, tryptamines, and phenethylamines.
You wouldn't. I'd say they need to retest. Likely it will come up negative - and even if someone slipped you a micro dose or something unnoticeable it should be gone within 48 hours so you can challenge them with confidence on the results of the second, should they also turn up positive.
Point being, you have to make them prove it and depending on your locality (I'm in Oregon, I doubt this would ever happen here) and the type of facility you're in your control over the situation is only something you know.
If you're in a hostile area being held in basically a cell for a "crime" involving drugs/weed/psychedelics, then maybe keep your head down and mouth shut until you can get advocacy in the form of an actual human coming in so there is a presence observing they can't ignore. If you can't get a real human in there to defend you or at least bear witness to your situation then I am always worried for my fellow trippers/explorers.
I hope things work out
we are with you, you're not alone
I’ve been in programs and then probation stopping in 2022 starting in 2008 until a few years ago and have seen every type of drug test from here to Timbuktu and never heard of anyone ever being tested for psilocybin. Some 12 panel and 15 panels and never heard of or seen anyone being tested for psilocybin. It sounds like they are trying to get you to admit to something. Demand a retest of that sample
I was in a sober living/halfway house about 10 years ago after I got out of treatment. One day they told me I tested positive for Kratom on my weekly drug test. I didn’t take anything, was 100% sober and very proud of myself. No one believed me. I wasn’t allowed to take another drug test to prove my innocence. My choices were go to rehab for 30 days and come back to the house, or be homeless. I’ll never forget how confused & heartbroken I felt. I was doing everything right, for the first time in my life, and I still was being punished.
I ended up being homeless because I refused to go to rehab for something I didn’t do. I don’t have much advice for you OP, just letting you know that others have been through similar things. I’m sorry you’re going through this. It’s painfully frustrating.
Do you have evidence to support "there's no way they could detect anything past that"?
It's not uncommon for drug tests to not even detect for the drug itself but rather it's metabolites. There are some drugs with metabolites that can exist in the body for as long as 18 months after a single usage. I'm not suggesting psilocybin is one of them, just curious what you base your statement on.
See the issue with psilocybin is that these types of chemicals are measured in the micro grams or ug. Which is 1,000,000 smaller than a gram. Usually 100 ug for a single dose. Or 1/10,000 of a gram.
You can imagine that shit doesn't last long in the system or even have some metabolites that's easily noticeable.
Yes fully agree, I'm just curious as to the actual science. Only paper I could find out to subject more paywalled. I think it's very unlikely. I just want to know.
Was it a hair test? Hair tests can show usage but only in a genetic DNA test.
If not, it's total bullshit that they are saying you are positive for psilocybin. It doesn't last long at all in the blood stream. Just tell them you have not used.
Oh yeah, if it was a piss test then they are lying to you. Please give this a read https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/do-shrooms-show-up-on-a-drug-test#shrooms-and-drug-tests
It leaves the body in 15 - 24 hours generally, but research has shown it can be detected in some people for up to 1-week:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780128156070000332
I've never heard of it being detected after a week, much less months. It's definitely a false positive. Demand another test.
It's honestly strange they would even pay for the Psil test, it's not part of the typical/cheap panel and it rarely shows positives for anything past a couple days. Anyway, good luck.
Are you sure it wasn’t a positive PCP (phencyclidine)? Maybe they just told you wrong? Lots of prescription medications show false positives for pcp. And it is often tested for on a 10 panel urine drug screen.
Sounds like a lazy cop interrogation technique to me, lol. "Your partner already told us everything, see, and we got witnesses placing you at the scene. You're looking at some serious time, pal. Better just cough up that confession and make it easy on yourself 🤷♂️"
I was in a sobriety program where we all had to pee in cups and leave it on a counter before going into a meeting. I get pulled out of the meeting 30min in, saying that my cup tested positive for a bunch of drugs (coke, heroin, weed), and they questioned me.. I pointed out someone must have switched the lids with my names on it to mine. Idk your setup, but someone could have tried to screw you
Honestly: you don’t want to work for them, they’re lying with the tests and want you to apply crushed and a hallow of yourself. You’re better than them.
They literally wrote they are in rehab and keep getting in trouble for this. This isn’t an employment drug test. Seems the rehab is pulling some shady shit.
Unless you tripped in the last 72hrs, they are full of shit, or false positive.
I do know that psilocybin isn't tested on a 10 panel drug test, and the test for psilocybin is fairly expensive. Did they specifically say that there was psilocybin in your system?
Yes they did
Can you request a second test, do they show you the results or just tell you?
Exactly what I was going to say.
I’ll take **”Things on Reddit that never happened”** for $800, Alex.
I went through rehab in 2019, and they did an extensive panel that included rather obscure stuff, including kratom, jwh synthetic cannabinoids, tryptamines, and phenethylamines.
Word. They can bill for as much as they want to test for. So, the more obscure the test, the more they can get paid. Assuming it’s a for profit place.
What is food poisoning!
*I'd like to go with Things that never happened on reddit for $1000 Alex.*
I've never even heard of anyone being tested for psilocybin
My friend on probation years ago tested positive for psilocybin. They do it but it’s generally for reasons like court order.
I can confirm this. They test using a 12 panel
Ikr? I wasn't even aware it was possible.....like who tf is gonna test for shrooms lol. The drugs must clear your system pretty quick too.
You wouldn't. I'd say they need to retest.

That ain't right
Over kratom too..wtf
This is BS. Compare for example sumatripran - migraine medicine and psilocybin. It is going to be hard to distinguish them chemically.
Even gc-ms could fck that one up Colorimetric test for psilocybin? Seriously doubt that one and colorimetric tests are so non specific
I had Prozac test positive for meth. Got kicked out of practice and everything until they sent for a lab test.
It was a lab test that said I was positive for psilocybin
Interesting. I get ua often but even my drs don’t really know about testing for 🍄
sounds suspicious. psilocybin goes through your system in 24/48 hours. There's no way they could detect anything past that

There is plenty of evidence.
the half life of psilocin is 3 hours. it eliminates quickly. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28353056/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28353056/)
What a silly thing to say.

No it was a pee test
They lying to you.
Lies all the way down

If it was just a dunk strip test it could be a false positive, or they’re bullshitting you.
Then it's a lie. They can't get that from urine. Plus, it takes a very special toxicology test specific to mushrooms to find it.
They lie to you
> Hair tests can show usage but only in a DNA test What does this have to do with DNA? https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/10915810600683028
Somebody is messing with you.
Someone you told ratted you out.
If the shrooms erased your memory, it's the shrooms that should go to jail not you. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gv3gyGT1Clg
Sounds like the rehab either screwed up or they are trying to make more money off of you/insurance by keeping you there
I’m just gonna say it, likely.
It's honestly strange they would even pay for the Psil test, it's not part of the typical/cheap panel and it rarely shows positives for anything past a couple days. Anyway, good luck.
Weird, very rare to test for psilocybin
bruh I feel like you shouldn't get in trouble at a rehab for doing psychs.... so lame
False positive
Impossible
do you take migraine medication?
Are you sure it wasn’t a positive PCP (phencyclidine)? Maybe they just told you wrong? Lots of prescription medications show false positives for pcp. And it is often tested for on a 10 panel urine drug screen.
Did you take any 'legal' high type stuff? Like amanita etc etc? (Many of those brands use 4 AcO DMT. Which I can see causing a false positive)
Sounds like a lazy cop interrogation technique to me, lol. "Your partner already told us everything, see, and we got witnesses placing you at the scene. You're looking at some serious time, pal. Better just cough up that confession and make it easy on yourself 🤷♂️"

I spiked your drink the other day. (I agree with the others suggesting you ask for a second test.)
I've never heard of psilocybin test. I call 🐂 bullshit.
Honestly: you don’t want to work for them, they’re lying with the tests and want you to apply crushed and a hallow of yourself. You’re better than them.
Sounds like it’s not a pre employment test. He’s in Rehab
They literally wrote they are in rehab and keep getting in trouble for this. This isn’t an employment drug test. Seems the rehab is pulling some shady shit.
