Failed a drug test, but the number don't add up...

So I failed a drug test for a pre-employment screening, when they called to tell me I failed I asked what the levels were, he said they were 560ng/ml...
I quit smoking weed about 25 days ago, and I'm not really fat, maybe 170lb and 5'8", so I'm maybe 10lb more than what I would like to be but by no means fat.
These numbers make no fucking sense to me, how can I have that much still in my system after abstaining for over three weeks? I could understand if there was 20-50ng/ml but over 500?
Is something wrong here? Should I ask them to do a retest?

I just smoked weed. Vaporize it though. Don't really use extracts, maybe once every 3-6 months I'll take a dab hit.

It wasn't a very important job though it did require driving. So I can understand them drug testing for metabolites. However there are better job opportunities out there that I'm also applying for, I was going to use this drug test as a basis of whether I'm clean or not, and if not it would give me an idea of what my levels were.
However the levels they said I had don't make sense.
Life's getting shitty ever since I blew my back out doing construction.

They must have made a mistake when telling you the number. It's pretty much always 50ng/ml unless it's for probation or department of transportation.

No they didn't make a mistake in the cutoff number, but I feel they made a mistake in reading what my THC metabolite levels were. I don't see how I could have over 560ng/ml of metabolites in my system after 25 days of being clean...

Was it your first piss of the day? Did you just work out? Have you been eating normally? Did you go in hydrated?

Maybe you have a super slow metabolism for cannabinoids or something.
Human errors are always possible though 
Good thing it wasn't for anything too important though!

Surely you can request the documentation proving you failed.. Id make a stink about it, you got to know the "actual" amount in your system. The person talking to is probably a bird-brain and told you wrong.

I hadn't really urinated much that day, I had to go get a soda and stuff to build up my ability to piss. Might have been a little dehydrated.
I have Gilbert's syndrome, would that fuck my ability to move THC metabolites out of my system? Always have elevated levels of bilirubin...

Likely it could since it's the liver. Did you take any acetamophin lately?
Gotta hydrate but not overly dilute the sodium in your urine. They test specific gravity and sodium levels for dilution. I believe also creatine.

I had a fever a couple weeks ago and was taking tylenol and ibuprofin. But it's been a couple weeks since then.
I sincerely am trying to quit weed and find a legit job, and this is like a kick in the nuts. I need a job in the marijuana industry, it's legal here in Oregon, it's legal in Washington, will be legal in Nevada in a month, and in cali... All the states surrounding me except Asshole-Idaho has legal recreational marijuana... I don't know how to get into the industry though.

Those can cause false + but with your liver I don't know if that is a long time.

See if any recreational dispensaries near you are going if your 21+ other wise I think you may need a med card to work at most dispensaries. Seems like a great job though most I have been to always play crap music which would drive me insane
