No: Routine urinalysis does not test for drugs. Such testing has to be specially ordered.

Urinalysis: A basic urinalysis tests for red and white blood cells, pH, concentration and other indicators of infection. A culture specifically is used to identify bacteria types and amounts in the urine. If a urine drug screen is performed, it will be positive.

No: A regular urinalysis would not reveal the presence of THC, a tox screen will.
