Do you want to know the best way to pass a drug test on short notice?
Did you know that 7 out of 10 Americans have used drugs while on the job? That includes everything from amphetamines to cocaine. Drugs which severely impact employees’ effectiveness.
That’s really what employers are looking for during drug screenings. They want to know if your behavior is affecting your work.
Unfortunately, it’s a difficult metric to quantify. Does a controlled substance affect your performance? If so, how much does it take? A little or a lot?
Because it’s hard to answer, employers turn it into a simple yes/no question. Do you have drugs in your system or not?
So, what about you? Are you facing something similar? Did your boss spring a drug test on you? If so, don’t worry; we’ll teach you how to beat it.
Just relax. Breathe. And read on.
The Best Way to Pass a Drug Test on Short Notice: Know What You’re Facing
It doesn’t matter. Someone could have slipped the drugs into your drink at a party. Or you may have taken drugs because it was one of the pros of studying abroad. They were legal there, after all, right?
Employers have heard it all before, and the reality is it doesn’t matter.
You’ve got to pass that test regardless of why the drugs are in your system. Unfortunately, there’s no detox that’ll cleanse your body’s fatty tissue within 24 hours.
Fortunately, some methods will enable you to pass your test anyway.
To begin, you need to know exactly what you’re up against. What kind of test are you facing? There’s a different strategy for a urine test, hair test, saliva tests, and blood tests.
If you have a choice, always choose a urine test. They’re easiest to beat. Oh, and this probably goes without saying, but stop using drugs until after you finish the test.
Urine Tests
Don’t mask or dilute your sample. Household substances, like salt, bleach, or vinegar, alter the pH of urine. In other words, they make it obvious to urine analyzers that the urine has been tampered with.
The same is true of diluting your urine. It can change the color or temperature of the sample.
Instead, drink tons of water.
Start at least 24 hours before the test. When you increase your water intake, your body will naturally dilute the sample. This works especially well if you don’t use drugs regularly because there are less in your system.
Urinate as much as humanly possible before your test. It’ll pump drug metabolites from your body. Use a diuretic such as coffee or tea to increase how often you urinate.
Consider substituting clean or synthetic urine kits. Each is available online.
Mouth Swab/Saliva Tests
If you’ve been able to abstain from drugs for at least a few days before your saliva test, you’ll pass. Drug metabolites stay in adipose tissue, hair, and nails for many months. They stay in saliva for only a day or two.
Follow the same water-drinking regimen that we laid out in the above section. Drink. Water. And we mean tons of the stuff. If you want to better understand how swab tests work, you can see more here.
You can also use special mouthwashes just before the test. They’re supposed to negate chemical byproducts in your saliva. Each acts differently, so pick one that works with your drug.
Blood Tests
The likelihood of you facing a blood test is unlikely. They’re costly and time-consuming. If the unlikely event occurs, the only chance you have is a rapid detox
They also work like saliva tests. They have a short, 1-or-2-day window of detection. So, they’re less useful than a hair or urine test.
Over-the-counter products are available to help you detoxify your body. They usually come in pills or teas. The concept behind these products is to get rid of any lingering chemical residues.
The detox typically involves drinking ludicrous amounts of water. This, as we’ve mentioned before, is the transports system. Your body naturally flushes unwanted chemicals into your blood and lymph.
These fluids run through your kidneys, your body’s natural filtration system.
Then your body excretes the unwanted chemicals. The more fluid you have running through your system, the easier your body can flush unwanted chemicals out.
Lemon juice and green vegetable powders are also recommended. They help reduce free radicals and unwanted chemicals.
Niacin (Vitamin B3) is another suggestion. It’ll give you a vascular flush. If you take enough of it, it’ll increase your blood circulation.
The faster your circulation, the faster your body can detox. Be warned, a B3 flush feels a bit like having a heat stroke or a hot flash.
Hair Tests
Do you really need to know how to pass a drug test? Then get ready to go to extremes. We’re talking about shaving your head.
It’s the most common way to beat this test. They can’t test it if you don’t have it.
If you’re against a chrome dome, there are less-effective alternatives.
One home remedy is to pour white vinegar into your hair. Leave it in for ten to fifteen minutes then rinse it out. Afterward, apply a salicylic-acid-based acne medication, and leave it in for thirty minutes before you rinse.
In the final step, apply liquid laundry detergent. Scrub it around as you did with the rest. And rinse thoroughly.
After you finish, you may want to get your hair dyed and trimmed. It’ll give you a good excuse as to why so many chemicals are in your hair.
You may also purchase over-the-counter shampoos which proclaim to be effective. Unfortunately, we can’t vouch for this.
