It would seem that in states that have already legalized recreational cannabis, authorities will reconsider their drug policies so that employers won’t have to include cannabis on the list of forbidden substances anymore.

Alas, the drug testing policies in 2018 are not going to change; better yet, drug tests, especially urine analyses, are going to get more accurate to prevent any cheating method from allowing future employees to fake their results.

Things to Know Before Taking a Drug Test in 2019

Thankfully, the cannabis industry knows how to answer their community’s demands. People are not afraid of talking openly about marijuana, and the injustice imposed on herb lovers by the law and employers only tightens the bond between them.

Cannabis enthusiasts share their experiences with drug testing, and in 2018, you can find information on how to prove THC-negative and get your dream job (or not get fired.) Moreover, cannabis companies are coming up with new, improved formulas for their detox products to help the community overcome the obstacle.

But before we elaborate on how to pass a drug test in 2018, let us recall how long THC stays in your system, as well as what types of drug tests to expect in general.

Off we go!

How Long Does Weed Stay In Your System?

As psychologists like to say – it depends. No one can give you an exact number, because unlike alcohol and hard drugs, cannabis can be detected anywhere from 1 to 90 days after your last herbal session.

How long cannabis stays in your system depends on the analyzed material.

THC In Urine

Because THC is stored in lipid cells, it accumulates in the body gradually over time. It doesn’t matter if you smoke, vape, or eat your cannabis; what does matter is how often you do it.

In short, the more herb you use, the longer it will be detectable in urine. Here’s what to expect from a urine test depending on your habits:

• Single use: up to 8 days
• Occasional use: up to 15 days
• Regular use: up to 30 days
• Daily use: up to 77 days.

Don’t fret! As urine tests are most commonly used by employers, there’s a couple of ways to pass them. We’ll get to it later on.

THC In Blood

Blood testing for the presence of THC is not extremely common, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

If you are concerned about the time THC stays in your blood, here’s good news – THC and its metabolites disappear from blood faster than they do from urine.

Here’s the timeframe for THC detectability based on how often you use cannabis:

• Single use: up to 1 day
• Occasional use: up to 3 days
• Regular use: up to 1 week
• Daily use: up to 3 weeks

So, 3 weeks of abstaining from cannabis (in the worst-case scenario) doesn’t seem like tortures, does it? Give it a shot, and when you finally get your job, celebrate it respectively.

THC In Hair

Cannabis metabolites will show up in hair after approximately seven days post-consumption of the herb. According to current standards, hair tests look for the presence of drugs over the last 90 days, so simply put, the sample of your hair follicles will provide lab workers with a record of what you have consumed over the last three months. Using a Hair Follicle Shampoo like this one is a good way to go.

THC In Saliva

When you consume cannabis, THC becomes instantly detectable in your saliva, but its lifespan is very short, lasting somewhere between 12 and 24 hours. Keep that in mind when somebody offers you a joint before you sit behind the wheel. An assertive “No, thank you” will be the best way to pass a mouth swab test. Could be a good idea to keep some specialized gum handy such as this one by Clear Choice for such kinds of saliva test.

By far, urine analysis is still the most common method of drug testing, and it’s likely to remain this way.

Nevertheless, certain employers might want you to undergo a hair, blood, or saliva test to detect the presence of drugs in your system, not to mention that such tests are commonly used by officers during roadside controls to see if you’re not driving “under the influence.”

As for urine testing, it can be performed privately at the workplace, or you can go to a 3rd party lab to submit your urine sample if your employer comes with such a request.

The Accuracy of Urine Drug Tests in 2019

Let’s make it clear, you don’t have to flush your body of all THC metabolites to test negative, but the new standards require you to be extremely cautious. Urine tests are designed to test the number of nanograms per milliliter of THC-Cooh in your system. Until 2018, urine drug test would become negative if they tested below 50 ng/ml, but now, some cutoff points are as  low as 20 ng/ml.

How to Pass a Drug Test For THC in 2019: General Tips

Clearing the THC metabolites from your body is of the essence if you want to pass any drug test. We are here in this together, so let us help set a basic strategy for detoxing your body of cannabis.

Wait. Just Wait.

When looking for a job, you have to take drug testing into account. This is the simplest way not to be taken aback by a sudden urine/hair/saliva/blood analysis.

That being said, abstaining from weed for the time of your endeavor is inevitable. Taking a tolerance break is anything but pleasant, especially if you’re a regular user – we’ve all been there at some point. But then again, this may be the ultimate solution to passing a drug test, so grit your teeth and arm yourself with patience

Increase Your Fluid Intake

If you don’t have a habit of keeping yourself well hydrated throughout the day, you’d better take care of your fluid intake before taking the drug test. Drinking lots of water will help you rid your body of THC metabolites much faster.

Exercise

Look, it’s 2019 – new year, new you.

Okay, you may stumble upon your new year’s resolutions, but we know how to motivate you to start working out.

People who exercise regularly tend to have less body fat than those who don’t. This, in turn, brings us to another conclusion. Since THC is stored in fat cells, the more body fat you have, the longer the THC stays in your system. Exercising helps you burn fat, so there you go – you do the math.

Detox With Natural Solutions

This subject is a bit controversial, as the abundance of detox solutions makes it easy for some companies to promise castles in the air, while their products are anything but effective.

Fortunately, if you find a trusted manufacturer with a big name in the industry, chances are their products will help you succeed in passing a drug test.

Natural detox solutions come in a variety of forms, from one-shot concentrate and emergency detox drinks to dietary supplements you can use as a pre-cleanse to enhance the effects of other detox products.

Test Yourself

Okay, so let’s say that the drug test draws near, and you’re still not sure if any of the above methods have worked. To save yourself extra stress, you can buy a home drug test kit online. It will give you some time to plan the alternative strategy should the test say you’re not ready yet.

How to Pass a Urine Test?

There are a couple of ways to pass the urine analysis despite these tests becoming more accurate than ever.

The first thing that comes to your mind is probably getting someone else’s urine.

If you have such devoted friends around – good for you.

However, sometimes, we have to rely solely on ourselves. This is when the so-called prank urine steps into the game.

Synthetic urine is what most people choose when there is no other way to pass such a test.

These products contain uric acid and urea, and just like the real deal, synthetic urine is well balanced for pH, gravity, and creatinine.

When shopping for fake pee – we know, it sounds weird – try Sub Solution for best effects, or, if the employer monitors your test, use the courtesy of Incognito Belt to do the job without being caught red-handed.

Clear Choice newest brand to hit the market, Quick Luck Premixed Premium Synthetic Urine! Quick Luck the only pre-mixed synthetic urine of its kind and it rivals any other product out there on the market. It also comes with 2 heat pads and the Clear Choice heat activator powder!!

Detoxifying agents like SPIKE Urine Additive will come in handy as well, especially when using synthetic urine is not an option.

How to Pass a Saliva Test?

Since THC doesn’t stay in saliva for very long, it’s best to refrain from smoking cannabis before entering a vehicle.

If, for some reason, you decide to take the risk and light up before driving – which we do not recommend

We have found there are two methods of flushing THC from saliva:

1. You can either ingest something sour (lemon juice, sweet & sour gummies, etc.) and drink loads of water.
2. You may want to consider using a dedicated cleaner, such as Oral Clear Gum if you need to neutralize all toxins in less than a minute.

How to Pass a Hair Test

If you want to pass a hair test and time is the only luxury you can’t afford, you might want to consider using the Hair Follicle Shampoo (HFS).

It’s easy to use and buyers seem to appreciate its effectiveness for a relatively low price. The shampoo will coat the hair follicles so that the majority of drug tests will not detect them.

What about you, fellow herb enthusiasts? Have you ever taken a drug test at work? How did you manage to pass it without taking a tolerance break? We can’t wait to read your stories!

If you’re up against a saliva drug test then consider yourself lucky. Especially if you are a marijuana consumer. There are plenty of different names for this test but they are all pretty much the same thing.

Saliva testing has become increasingly popular for several reasons including the fact that they are very easy to administer and non-invasive. The result can be determined within 10 minutes and of course, they are cheap.

The mouth swab test is also good news for smokers since it can only test up to one week back and there some GREAT options to pass the test!

How does a mouth swab drug test work? 

Gabriel Matula

The metabolite is the key word here. Metabolites are what toxins get converted into once they enter our body.

The type of toxin and the length of time you were exposed to it will determine how long it stays in your body. Eventually, they get released and this is when they show up in our urine, hair, saliva and blood. Urine testing and blood testing checks for the metabolite THC-COOH whereas a mouth swab test is checking for the presence of THC itself BEFORE it goes in the body and converts into a metabolite. This is why it can only be detected up to a week back.

To get the result, testers check between the lower gum and lower cheek or by swabbing along the gum line, under the tongue or close to your tonsils further back. It only takes a couple of minutes to get the result. Based on this information you can see that to cheat the test you simply have to coat all these areas of your mouth so as to disguise the toxins.

So how do I pass the saliva drug test? 

Oral hygiene is an important point to bring up here. Be sure to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth with mouthwash at least twice a day in the days coming up to your test. Don’t overdo it though.

The best advice we can give you is to carry a specialized gum with you so you are ready for any on the spot mouth swab test, they are discreet and WORK. Highly recommended is the Clear Choice Oral Clear Gum.

It works by neutralizing your saliva and disguising all toxins in your mouth for up to 30 minutes. All you have to do is bite down to realize the liquid inside the gum and coat the entire inside of the mouth for 30 seconds. It’s that simple.

Its the absolute best product of its kind on the market. Oh, and it clears out all toxins, not just nicotine and marijuana!

Up against a Hair Follicle Drug Test? 

Opting to test using a hair drug test has become increasingly popular over the last few years. Some of the reasons is that it can test back quite far, there are no supervision issues and it’s extremely accurate.

The hair follicle is a small sac at the root that each individual hair grows out of. For your hair to grow it relies on your blood. Therefore any toxins for example, THC or other such metabolites are passed through the blood and end up in your hair follicle. As your hair grows the toxins stay trapped in the hair. This makes it easy for lab testers to detect what you’ve been up to.

Drug testers will cut off approximately 1.5 inches of hair from the root which can detect marijuana consumption for up to 3 months back, as hair grows 1/2 inch per month. For sure they can go back even further, even as far as one year but that is not the standard or the norm at all.

Be advised though, if you’re hair is too short or you decide to cut it before the test they can quickly test hair from any other area on your body. The sample once taken is shipped off to the lab and results will be in within a few days.

How to pass a Hair Drug Test?

So, if you’ve been using within the three months leading up to your test, the only reliable and sure way to pass your test is by using a specialized hair follicle shampoo.

The one and only Clear Choice Hair Follicle shampoo and purifier is the way to go here. All toxins will be coated and disguised within minutes. And after a few minutes, you’ll be in the clear zone for up to 8 hours.

So, how to pass a Urine Drug Test?

The good thing about a urine drug test is that there are several options you can choose from to be sure you’ll pass. With hair follicle and mouth swab testing, you can either coat the hair follicles with a shampoo like this one or coat the toxins in your mouth with a specialized gum.

Urine testing gives you the option to either try to detox and flush the body or by using synthetic urine. You can do this by using a stash belt and taking the urine sample bottle in with you. Else you can use a body belt or prosthetic penis if you’re worried about the test being supervised.

A good and reliable recommendation is to take a detox shot on the day of your test such as the One Shot Concentrate. Do this 2-3 hour before your test. It’s essential to fill the test cup midstream and not within the first few seconds of urine flow. For people over 200lbs or heavy users, this will not work and the best bet is to go with a product like the Rescue Cleanse 32oz which holds toxins in the body for up to 5 hours.

We strongly recommend if you are going to use your own urine and decide to detox, that you test yourself first with a self-test kit. You can get them for THC, Cocaine or Multi-Panel test kit that tests up to 5 different drugs.

Now if you fail your self-test kit, don’t want to risk the detox drinks, or entirely must pass your test 100% no matter what, then synthetic urine or a urine additive is the way to go.

The more you consume cannabis the more THC is accumulated in your body. The longer you consume the longer it takes to clear out of your body.

Makes sense right?

Sure but what’s more important is to know EXACTLY how long. Do you have a drug test coming up or one sprung on you? This information is important so you can make the right choice. And finally, choose which method to use or what product to buy to ensure you pass your drug test.

FOR HOW LONG WILL IT STAY IN YOUR SYSTEM?

This means that if you STOP consuming it will take this long to clear out of your system.

So for example, if you use marijuana 3 times a week and then stop can take up to 18 days to come up clear on your urine test.

Urine testing is the most common method for testing for the THC metabolite TCH-COOH. If this metabolite shows up in your urine then the lab testers know your body has processed it and you are a user.  

If your urine test shows up with less than 20 nanograms per ml of metabolite then you’re good to go. Literally.

It’s also the cheapest testing method another reason for being the most popular type of test.

How long do drugs stay in your system?

Good question, what if you’re not a cannabis user and like to dabble with other recreational drugs?

Here’s some useful info for you. This is how long it takes for other kinds of drugs to clear from your system:

• Cocaine: up to 3 days
• Ecstasy/MDMA: up to 3 days
• Alcohol: up to 5 days
• LSD: up to 3 days
• PCP (Phencyclidine): up to 7 days
• Amphetamines: up to 3 days
• Psilocybin: up to 5 days

So moral of the story is that it’s much harder to pass a drug test being a cannabis user.

If you are a regular user the ideal is to abstain from consuming for at least two weeks. There are also many home remedies and recommendations like drinking coconut water, taking fruit pectin and exercise. But these are risky and you’ll never know for sure if it’s going to work.

 If this is not an option or you are a heavy or long-term user then here are some options for you:

Option One: Detox your body and flush out the drugs

Detox drinks are one of the most popular ways of passing a drug test as they help to dilute the urine and remove the toxins from your body.

Some of them are much more effective than others and its super important to buy a reputable brand that uses natural ingredients.

Option Two: Don’t take the risk 

Use synthetic urine or a urine additive & pass your test!

The best Urine Additives in 2019

There are two types of urine tests performed, one is a Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) test (otherwise known as a lab test) and the other is an enzyme multiplied immunoassay test (EMIT test) (also knows as an Instant Test and the most common of the two) The latter is given 99% of the time in the workplace.

The Spike Additive is a revolutionary lab tested, undetectable urine purifier. It dissolves really fast and is odorless and colorless making detection impossible, Its designed to destroy all toxins in the urine and is super easy to conceal as its only 1.5ml.

The best Synthetic Urine in 2019

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that all synthetic urine is the same.

It’s simply not true. This is due to one vital factor known as sterilization.

I can’t stress this enough – low-quality cheap brands are NOT reliable.

Sterilization is a process which involves the elimination and deactivation of any bacteria (forms of life) found in the urine and only top name synthetic urine brands put their urine kits through this irradiation process, which is expensive.

Cheap products such as the well known Quick Fix Synthetic Urine Kit do NOT use this process and instead and a biocide (preservative) to artificially prolong the life of the fake pee.

Using this could potentially lead to you getting busted for using fake urine as it’s an unnatural substance that should NOT be present in your urine.

‘Synthetic Urine’

Reviews of the best brands and where to buy them.

1. Sub Solution Synthetic Urine Kit

Pro’s

Clear Choice Brand, the manufacturers of this product have been in business for over 24 years and have sold millions of drug testing products since.

This urine kit has something that no other urine kit on the market has – a patented heat activator powder which heats up your pee sample within seconds.

Their formula contains components such as creatinine and urea amongst other vital salts and complex mixture of necessary chemicals needed to pass your urine off as real.

Their synthetic urine has never been detected as fake and failed tests are always almost related to temperature issues where the heat source was not used or not used correctly.

Con’s

Unlike other premixed urine kits the Sub Solution you have to mix yourself which is not to everyone’s liking.

In saying that however, their new product Quick Luck is an ultra-premium synthetic urine kit with upgraded Sub Solution formula and is available for pre-order in July 2017. It comes as a 3oz premixed kit with the heat activator powder and two heat pads included.

It’s a bit pricier than the Sub Solution but totally worth it for the extra convenience.

2.Sweet Pee Body Basic – Synthetic Urine Kit on a belt

Pro’s

Sweet Pee is another reputable brand offering quality synthetic urine. Best of all the bag is refillable and the body belt is velcro adjustable for all shapes and sizes.

It will include 2 heat pads and a $25 voucher for your next urine fill, which is pretty sweet (pun intended!)

Con’s

These guys haven’t been around for as long as Clear Choice but their products work well and they offer great customer service support. There is no heat activator powder in this kit.

3. Quick Solution – 3oz Premixed Synthetic Urine Kit

 Pro’s

Best Detox Solutions although not as well known as both Clear Choice or Sweet Pee, they do offer a quick and easy premixed urine sample which comes with one heat pad. It is also a bit more affordable than the other two brands.

Con’s

A pretty basic kit with no heat activator powder & only one heat pad gives no room for error.
