Or what about meth over amps Like some1 who takes heroin will test positive for opiates but will some1 who takes vicodin be seen as the same?

bah...i can't remember...I think some opiates break down into codeine and some break down into morphine, and then I think methadone tests as methadone...can't remember
i do know that false postives for amphetamines are pretty common
but i think the category is just opiates, and then methadone...i could be wrong though

depends on the type of test, mass spectrometry can tell the difference because of other metabolites, regular lab tests just show an opiate regardless of which you use

the dip stick will only read that you have done opiates. your UA will say positive then you send it to the lab for verification and they can differentiate the two. vicoden is an opiate

idk. in that episode of seinfeld, elain tested positive for opium from eating poppies. it may all be grouped together in an opiates category.

im on probation. i failed for benzos because i take kpins. when u fail the 5 panel, they look closer. they told me what benzo i took. so when they go in that far to look at ur piss, they can find out what chemical was in you.

It would depend on what the final metabolite is. Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic thebaine derivative, which is somewhat chemically analogous to both morphine and codeine, but not exactly the same... So the answer is... I don't know...
It would also depend on the type of test, of course...

Straight up:
Initial test show general results.
But they can and will get specific information from further testing.

the tests i take are the sticks and usually they can tell the difference theres methamphetamine (meth) and amphetamines (speed and things similar) benzos (klonopin, xanax) opiates (dope, pks) among a few other tests, so basically you can tell the difference but no not between dope and pks and yes between meth and adderal or something.

In Az my good friend is on TASK or whatever the hell its called for Heroin.
When he shows up dirty for H they know, and its cool, when he has taken OCs with me, he thought it wouldn't be a big deal.
He showed up dirty, AND they knew it wasn't H, he actually got into a lot more trouble for showing up dirty for what he wasn't on TASK for (pills).
Just my experience.
