How To Pass A Drug Test
LatestPerhaps you’ve found yourself in a situation where you have to take a drug test. And perhaps you are a marijuana enthusiast or just sporadically partake in the pleasure. This intersection is Not Good, but we have some tips on how marijuana users can pass a urine test, and piss like you’re off the pot.
The problem with employee drug test screening — well, one major problem — is that urine tests can detect marijuana for up to 4-6 weeks. And because they detect nonactive metabolites instead of the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, urine tests don’t actually measure impairment, but rather just call out recreational weed smokers. It’s like getting in trouble for getting drunk three Saturdays ago. Typically, large companies will spring drug screening on new hires, giving them very little time prepare and certainly not enough time for any drugs to pass out of their systems naturally.
1.) Don’t bother with commercial urine cleansers.
You might see them advertised in High Times or other places around the internet, but there is no real scientific evidence that urine cleansers are effective. They can be pricy (ranging from $20 – $50), mostly because they’re preying on people who are freaking out about possibly losing their jobs. But if you read the ingredients, they usually contain herbal diuretics like goldenseal, that can easily be purchased at the drug store for half the cash (and it probably won’t even work anyhow). Plus, because most urine cleansers instruct that you chug the drink about an hour before your test, you’re really gambling by trusting that your metabolism operates at the same rate as the company’s testing group.
