How accurate is a negative at home drug test?
If the test results are negative, can you be sure that the person you tested did not abuse drugs? No. No drug test of this type is 100\% accurate. There are several factors that can make the test results negative even though the person is abusing drugs.
Are at home drug tests the same as lab tests?
Many of these folks are primarily concerned with marijuana and it’s noted ability to stay in the system for long and unpredictable periods of time.

Why did my drug test come back negative diluted?
When a drug test comes back as a negative dilute, it basically means that there was too much water in the urine to get an accurate screening. The creatinine concentration in the urine sample is the primary measurement for identifying dilution, and if the sample contains no creatinine, it can’t be counted as urine.
