How to Pass a Urine Drug Test
The most common type of drug test is the urine test because of the simplicity, cost efficiency, and accuracy. With that said, if you are facing a urine test, it is probably on a regular basis or surprise testing and you are probably interested in knowing how to pass the test if you already know you are not going to naturally pass it.
First off, you should know how the process works for your system to produce drug traces in your urine sample. It begins when you use the drug, and shortly after, the drug metabolites (like THC in marijuana) will find their way through your system and a good portion of it locates to your fat cells and lipid tissue. From there, when you sweat and urinate, it slowly releases it.
There are a lot of *fairy tale* tricks to pass urine tests like consuming a large amount of vinegar (which actually could make a small decrease in detection time for amphetamines because the urine becomes acified), Certo, and bleach but none of these really work so you should stay away from them.
No matter what you do, even if you are a big smoker, nothing can really change the odds of the results being accurate - other than dilution. The dilution method allows you to have a larger concentration of drug metabolites in comparison to urine yield.
Dilution does work; there is no real argument to that statement. The only problem with dilution is that it is so obvious - urine becomes clear in color and the creatinine levels drop drastically, both of which can be discovered easily by the lab that reviews the sample.
The detox drinks (probably the most popular method being sold to pass drug tests) work with the same concept but are not very faithful. After you understand what the lab uses to discover a dilution attempt, you will be able to pass a urine drug test easily with that knowledge and there could be some drinks that have the right things to assist in doing so. Keep in mind, you don't really need to fall for the companies offering products to assist you because you can get this stuff locally and everything they have to offer is just fancy crap in a box.
The trick to add bleach did work in the past but labs have made it mandatory to detect it and void the sample if it is discovered. There is also the myth that Certo holds - a pure waste of money this product is. Certo works while you use the dilution process as well and it is the dilution that is doing all of the work - Certo just builds people's confidence and has no benefits and can even end in you failing the test because of it.
Dilution
Dilution works by providing a larger amount of fluids to your body to cause a dilution of your urine which ends in a higher yield of urine so there is a lower concentration of metabolites because the exertion of metabolites does not change when more fluids are consumed. Depending on your metabolism, it could even fall below 50ng/mL in some cases. As mentioned previously, diluting your urine will result in a lower creatinine level and clearer urine so you would have to fix this for it to work.
Even if your urine is a little clearer because you diluted your urine, they could not accept the sample and automatically assume you are under the use of drugs and would probably schedule another testing or randomly surprise you with one.
If you choose the dilution method, which you probably will, it is important that you make sure that you begin it only hours before the test and not days before or even longer - that amount of time dated back is not essential and you would just be torturing yourself.
Color of Urine
So, the first thing you will want to look at is the obvious - the color of your urine. You will want to make sure that your urine is rather yellow and not clear. To do this, there are a few ways to go about it. The main method would be to consume around 50 to 100 milligrams of Vitamin B before the test. Some will argue that Vitamin C is better but neither is proven to be better than the other. The best vitamins would be Vitamin B-2 and Vitamin B-12 because both work as complex vitamins.
The use of vitamins alone does not allow you to get a negative result on the drug test but do assist you in changing the color of the urine back to yellow. Keep in mind that there are a lot of vitamins which work as time release capsules - if this is the case, you will have to crush them up and then take them because the strength they hold to change the color of the urine will decay by the time the pill is digested.
Making sure the urine isn't too clear is important but will not be an issue in every case. A lot of people naturally have clearer urine than others and not everyone has pure yellow urine so they can't just call you a liar because of it. The more important thing to take care of is the creatinine level, which is about to be discussed.
Creatinine Levels
When you dilute your urine, creatinine levels will drop and the lab can detect this and is a way they figure out that you used the dilution method to cheat the test - you don't want that. Therefore, you will have to increase the level of creatinine in your system and there are ways to do that. The best way to do this is to consume a lot of red meats for the 2-3 days prior to the testing. You won't need to over consume on these but to eat a little more than average should do the trick.
Fluids
So to dilute your urine, you would have to consume a lot of fluids, preferably water. Water is the best drink to use to dilute your urine because it is pure and doesn't have any difficulties digesting like most liquids do. You won't have to overdo it but drinking 8 full glasses of water right before the test can do wonders. Try not to over hydrate your body though because you can actually overdose on water and it can be fatal - however, you would probably vomit before it gets too severe and this is very rare so you shouldn't worry about it too much.
Instead of drinking water, there are other things you could drink that do the trick - particularly diuretic products.
Diuretic Products
These products are what make people urinate a lot. Some popular examples would be alcohol, coffee, and cranberry juice. Of course, you would want to try to keep away from any drinks that contain much caffeine or alcohol contents in them and you will probably want to stay away from salt-filled drinks as well.
Cranberry juice is one of the better options because it is rather cheap and tasty (most people enjoy cranberry juice) but it probably is an acquired taste - however, this is a great replacement for water if someone can't stand to over hydrate themselves on just water.
Quick Tips
- Don't give them a sample with your first urination of that day because it is always the dirtiest, so make sure you urinate a few times before the test.
- Don't provide urine from the start or end of the urination stream because both are of higher concentration of metabolites than in the middle - so just provide a sample from the middle and start/finish the urination in the toilet.
- Make sure you still provide a minimum of 60cc's of urine for the sample.
- Exercising helps get rid of the metabolites faster. Ideally, you would exercise a lot and keep yourself well hydrated prior to the test but make sure that you do not exercise at all within 5-7 days of the test. A week before the test, start being lazy and eating a lot more - this will bury the metabolites as new fat cells (not containing metabolites) are stored in your body.
