Blood Drug Testing

Are drug tests that you can buy at a drug store as effective as a drug test you'd take before getting a job?

I bought a drug test at Walgreens and took the test and tested negative for all drugs which is good. But I'm skeptical about taking a drug test for a job because I didn't know if the walgreens drug test was as good as the drug test I'd have to take to get the job. Thanks for your time.

1. I don't know , because I don't do drugs so I don't use these things
2. This depends on the quality of the lab that administers the test. Generally speaking test centers are more thorough than home tests. However, both kinds of tests are relatively easy to beat (just drink three-four bottles of vitamin water and take a vitamin b pill). Go to erowid.org. They'll do a better job of answering this question.
