Best Answer

It depends on the particular drug and on the particular test. Some drugs metabolize quickly, such as alcohol, assuming the liver is healthy; others, such as marijuana, might show up for months. If the test is sampling hair, it can go back even further.

Bottom line, as is usual, is if you don't want to test positive, then don't do drugs.

Not as far as I know. Also, methotrexate is not a very pleasant drug to take, which means it's not a drug of abuse, which ALSO means they won't test for it.
