Question
Our son had a "spiritual awakening" for few weeks then a full blown "mental illness" type of episode. A general drug screening given at the hospital was negative for drugs, but they told us not all drugs show up in the test. Our son later told us he had taken peyote. Does peyote show up on a general drug test?
Answer

You should ask the facility where the drug testing was conducted since the "panel" of tests done varies by institution/lab.
