Despite the growth in the social acceptance of marijuana and its legalization in several U.S. states, use of the plant remains illegal in some states as well as at the federal level. This is why drug tests are still a common occurrence in many situations. To help you understand how drug tests work and how to reduce your chances of testing positive on one, here are a few tips.
First, you should know that marijuana is filled with CBD and THC, which are cannabinoids that produce various effects that range from sleep-promoting to psychoactive. There are various types of drug tests that are carried out to test for the presence of cannabis-related compounds in a person, but most drug tests target THC because it’s a Schedule 1 drug.
Urine tests are the most popular. These tests identify cannabinoid metabolites that last longer in the body, the main one being delta9-THC-COOH, a subsidiary product of THC. Blood tests are also available. They identify both metabolites and THC. These types of test aren’t as popular as urine tests because of their invasive nature. Additionally, THC can also be detected in saliva but only during a short detection window.
Now onto detoxing. The period of time it takes a person to detox from marijuana and pass any drug test depends on various factors, such as:
- Type of test being conducted
- Hydration level
- Amount of body fat
- Rate of metabolism
- Amount of THC consumed
- Frequency of consumption
While you might be tempted to exercise to help remove THC from your body, that is discourage and ineffective; same goes for cannabis detox drinks. You’re more likely to get help from natural products. However, you should keep in mind that these remedies aren’t guaranteed to be 100% effective. The best way to improve your chances of acing a drug test is simply to abstain from using until after the test is administered.
However, if a you must take a drug text, here are a few natural methods that may help.
- Use mouthwash that contains alcohol half an hour before a saliva test. It may help reduce THC presence in your saliva.
- Take a multivitamin that has B2 or B12 a few hours before a urine test. That way, if you dilute your urine with drinking water to reduce the THC concentration level, your urine won’t look clear.
- Do not work out 24 hours before your urine or blood test is conducted. The THC that’s stored in your fat cells moves into your bloodstream and urine when you exercise.
This is the best way to detox yourself completely from THC is simply to refrain from consuming any marijuana products, including smoking and edibles, for at least one month prior to the test. In addition, incorporating fiber, such as leafy greens and whole grains, into your diet and increasing your water intake can help your body rid itself of toxins such as metabolites and THC.
