You are right. In your specific report of a positive methamphetamine of 780 ng./ml., rest assured that there is also amphetamine present as well, but below the 500 ng./ml. cutoff. Maybe the level is 400 (below the 500 cutoff), so the amphetamine would not show up on the report, but it is present in the specimen.
