Beating the Drug test

[T.N.T.]

Hair Testing

When THC metabolites are in the blood, they go through the blood vessels in the head, and deposited into the hair. THC metabolites remain in the hair as a permanent record. The hair test costs a little less than a hundred dollars (anywhere from $65-$95) and is not used as often as urinalysis because urinalysis is cheaper (approximately $40-$70). Hhair tests are widely used in the casino industry. They cut approximately 50 strands of hair close to the scalp, and send it in to the testing lab where they wash it is washed then liquefied. A hair sample is dissolved in a series of solvents which extract the drug metabolites and then are analyzed via GC/MS. It can take several hours to days just to extract metabolites. Average hair grows 1/2 inch per month. Typically they just use hair one and a half inches from the scalp giving about 90 days of history. It has been rumored that labs can test as far back as 3-6 years. This is false. A lab will not test more than history the 1-1/2 inches of hair will reveal. If a collector splits, for example, 3 inches of hair into two separate samples and submits them as being from different donors, the labs cannot know the specimens are from the same hair. Labs frown on this as it would be considered fraud and is not common practice. The liquid is run through the GC/MS machine, and can detect as little as 1 ng/mL. Psychemedics Corporation has a home collection kit for $69. This home test kit is available if you want to test yourself before applying for a job. Also, parents can test their children.

Beating the hair test is extremely hard, Bleaching or dying your hair is reported to work, but it is very hard on the hair and permanent damage can be expected from such harsh treatments. I imagine you can shave every hair on your body and claim that you're a swimmer, but if you had hair at the interview, and suddenly, after you are informed of an impending hair test, you have no hair; you might be seen as trying to avoid the test.

Currently, the two most prevalent laboratories for hair tests are Psychemedics and Quest Diagnostics. Approximately 90% of all hair tests sent to laboratories are sent to one of these two powerhouses.

Urine

This method works for every urine test, every time (provided that some conditions are met). You simply give them clean urine (from a “donor”) or synthetic urine. This works very well if you're not observed. If you are going to be observed, then this method may not work for you. Females have been known to keep a condom or a small plastic container with a flip top lid, filled with a clean urine sample in the vagina, and prick it with a sharp fingernail to piss under supervision.

There is no way you can talk a collector out of observing when protocol calls for an observed test. An observed test is warranted if you have been caught with adulteration or substitution materials in your possession, you have failed a drug test in the past, Your specimen fails to meet certain criteria (such as temperature or color) you are in the military or been ordered by the courts to participate in drug testing. People in the military, on active duty are always observed. The observer must watch the urine flow from the body into the collection cup. If it is done correctly, you cannot beat it. The good news is that it is rarely done correctly. Simply being in the room with a donor is not adequate, but that is usually what is done. If the observer doesn’t look closely, or allows you to turn your back (male), then you might be able to get away with subbing while taking an observed test. This is what is known as a monitored test. The only legitimate reason for a monitored test is if the collector cannot secure all water sources (as in a multi-stall restroom) or the restroom has more than one entrance/exit.

If you test is not observed, you can substitute easily. It is recommended that you practice your substitute technique until you feel comfortable doing it. That way, you can overcome problems such as leaky containers, inadequate temperature, noisy caps, etc.

Simply conceal the urine. As soon as you are alone in the restroom, pour your substitute urine in the collection cup. Be sure you can quietly open the container; the collector will probably be within earshot of the restroom and will hear any unusual noises. You will not be required to change into a gown for a simple employment or court ordered test. IF you are taking a physical for employment purposes you may be asked to put on the gown at the beginning of the office visit. If so, then just tell the nurse that you need to “go” really badly and can’t wait. Could you be allowed to give your specimen now instead of waiting for the doctor to come into the room? Usually they will take pity on you and lead you to the restroom immediately to give the specimen, then lead you to the exam room after.

A travel size shampoo container works best for substitution. Simply clean the bottle thoroughly, then fill with clean urine. Tape the bottle to your underwear or place between two pairs of underwear, snugly in your crotch. If you are worried about maintaining proper temperature (between 90 – 100 degrees), you can heat the specimen in a glass of hot coffee, water or other beverage, or you can tape a hand warmer (sold in most sporting good stores) to the outside of the container. This should maintain the temperature for about 8-10 hours.

A specimen “donated” by a clean friend or family member can be kept in the crotch for up to 10-12 hours. You can keep a specimen at room temperature for up to 2 days without refrigeration. If you need to keep the specimen longer, it can be refrigerated for up to a week. Longer storage will require that the specimen to be frozen. Frozen urine is good in an airtight container for up to a year.

Do not attempt to inject urine into the bladder. Some have claimed to be able to do this using a syringe or catheter. The risk of infection is simply not worth it. Get some perspective here. If you need to pass a drug test that badly, you shouldn’t have been using marijuana in the first place. Remember: The only 100% sure fire way to pass a drug test is to not use drugs.

Sources For Clean Unrine

Donor
You can substitute someone else's urine. If in doubt whether your friend’s urine will pass a test, you can purchase home tests and integrity strips off the internet. Simply do a Google search for drug tests or integrity strips and choose your vendor. It doesn’t matter if your donor is of the opposite sex or pregnant. If your donor is menstruating, as long as no visible blood has gotten into the specimen, it is fine. If the specimen is visibly bloody and you are male, you might have a hard time explaining this to the collector. What does matter is if your donor is taking prescription medication that will be detected. If so, you will need all the information regarding your donor’s medical condition including: The ailment, doctor’s name, medication, prescription number off the bottle the last dosage and time taken and the dosage instructions. It might just be better to find another donor.

Age, gender, pregnancy, medical conditions, etc., are not tested during a drug test. The last thing the laboratory wants to do is extra work. They are paid to test for a certain array of substances. They are not going to find the exact chemical properties of your urine, including any hormones that may be present. Your specimen will be tested to see if it contains certain drugs and if it has qualities consistent with human urine. Nothing more, nothing less.

Synthetic
Synthetic urine has human qualities, so it will pass validity testing and it does not contain banned substances, so it will pass drug testing. You can obtain synthetic urine over the internet. There are several vendors available and a range of prices. Make sure that the vendor you choose to purchase from will ship to your area. You might even be able to find a distributor in your area. Most head shops or smoke shops will sell synthetic urine if it is legal in your State.

Making your own powdered urine
Urinate in a glass container. Let it evaporate. Then scrape the inside for the concentrate. Just mix it with water before the test, and the sample will have the correct specific gravity, pH, color, etc. Sounds good huh? NOT! This is much more work and takes much more time than you have. In the time it takes you to evaporate your urine and scrape the residue from the container, you could have found a clean donor or bought synthetic off the internet.

Dog urine
I heard from Dr. Grow that dog urine (of all things) can be substituted, and will pass the test! This is false. Canine urine has different specific gravity than human urine. It will be determined to be a specimen not consistent with human urine and you will receive an adulterated result. That is equivalent to failing the drug test. Besides, do you really want to follow Fido around the yard with a little cup? Have some pride people!

DETECTION TIMES

Drug tests detect drugs as well as metabolites. Metabolites are the byproducts of a substance after it has run through your system. To determine whether you will pass or not, it is important to know how much of the illicit metabolites are in your urine and how much is tested for. Usually marijuana tests will have a cutoff of 50ng/mL. That is the standard in the industry. You might run across the occasional test that has a lower cutoff level (Level of Detection, [LOD]), Home testing can tell you whether your level at the time of the test is above or below the 50ng/mL level, but it will not tell you the exact level of THC metabolites in your system.

Half-life of TetraHydraCannabinol
The half life of THC concentration ranges between about 1 to 10 days. There is way too much variation to even approximate how long THC will be detected in the urine of an individual. Infrequent users with a fast metabolism will have the shortest detection time. Frequent or chronic users with a slow metabolism will have long detection times. The only way to estimate a detection time is to consider the lower and upper bounds (3-50 days), and decide based on the factors outlined here.

Note: Detection times vary depending on drug potency, tolerance, patient's condition, fluid intake at time of test, and method and frequency of marijuana use. These are general guidelines only.
If you are currently using marijuana and know you have a test coming up, stop using immediately. The longer you abstain, the better your chances of passing a test will be.

Other factors determining degree of intoxication include metabolism, tolerance, frequency of intake, fluid intake, amount of marijuana, and length of time you've been a user. If you use marijuana on rare occasions, your urine may be clean of metabolites in less than a week. There is a common and strange phenomena that occurs with chronic users. You would expect a chronic user to have the longest detection time and the smallest chance of passing. This is not always the case. A chronic user with a high tolerance may eliminate drugs as fast as an occasional user. Chronic users have tested negative after a week long binge. Fat tissue also makes a huge difference. Skinny users not only have a faster metabolism (usually), but also lack storage for THC metabolites. The more fat a person has, the more THC metabolites will be stored in the body, the longer detection time for a user.

"How long will it take ‘til I test clean?" This is the single most frequently asked question. It is impossible for anyone to estimate the time it would take for someone to test clean. The best thing you can do for yourself is test yourself after you’ve stopped smoking pot. Test about twice weekly until your first urine of the day tests clean. That is how long it takes YOU to clean out after your normal smoking habits. Even that will vary depending on your level of usage prior to abstaining and level of activity while testing yourself. Don’t let your best friends brother’s girlfriend’s cousin’s experience be your guide. Every BODY is different.

Computer programs, charts and graphs are virtually useless in determining how long it will take YOU, the individual, to test negative.

Positive (defined)
50 nanograms of THC metabolites per milliliter defines a "presumptive positive" by most laboratories and instant tests. This value was originally 20 ng/mL, but too many false positives resulted. So the level was raised to 100 ng/mL to reduce false positives. As of January 1995, the threshold was lowered back down to 50 ng/mL because drinking excessive water could easily bring the level of metabolites in the urine below 100 ng/mL. Some employers may use a lower cutoff, but that is rare. If a specimen screens non-negative for THC (anything other than negative or fails an integrity test), the specimen is then sent through a Gas Chromatograph / Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) for the specific metabolite tripping the immunoassay screening. This level is set at 15 ng/mL for that one specific metabolite.

Passive smoke and positives
"If you heard that secondhand marijuana smoke can cause you to fail your drug test the next day, it might be true. It is possible that secondhand marijuana smoke will raise someone to the 50 ng/mL level; however, *EXTREME* exposure is required. For instance, a closed car full of pot smokers might cause someone exposed to that quantity of smoke to test positive in a drug test the next day; provided that they are sealed in the car for a while (a few hours). Non-smokers are safe in a ventilated area such as an average living room or garage where partygoers are smoking pot.
