THC Drug Testing: Will you PASS or FAIL?

THC Drug Testing: Will you PASS or FAIL?

THC and drug testing – Here’s what you need to know!

Okay, let’s not pussyfoot around the elephant in the room, and it’s a pretty big elephant.

In many countries, the smoking of cannabis is illegal, though the state of play seems to be changing and, in time, the laws may well change.

However, here we are talking about today.

Beyond legality, there is also the question of being fit and capable for work.

There are a good number of companies who require staff to take random drug tests.
What we want to do here is simply inform you on how long THC can linger in your system and how, for some, it can pass through more quickly than others.

We should also point out that THC can remain in your body for up to 30 days after you have ingested cannabis, especially if eaten as opposed to smoked.

Beyond this, and this is where forensic science comes in, your hair will contain traces of cannabis that will remain there for at least 90 days. If there is the possibility that a drug test will include hair follicles, our advice is to keep away from cannabis for a long Long time!

Thus, unexpectedly shaving your head just prior to a very critical and rigorous interview might just give the game away!

First thing to note is that because THC is lipid soluble, overweight individuals will retain THC in their system for longer than their thinner companions.

Worse still, if you smoke cannabis, don’t go in for heavy exercise just prior to any urine test as when fat is broken down, THC is released into your system and will come out in your urine.

However, before you think that going for a run might also get you stoned on that THC, the levels are detectible, but miniscule and will have no psychotropic effect.

The tests for THC are actually for the metabolite THC-COOH, or tetrahydrocannabinol carboxylic acid, though that’s a bit of a mouthful!

You should also be aware that THC can build up in your system over time, so regular users are more likely to retain THC in their system for longer than ‘newbies’ who have a relatively pristine metabolism.

Light use would be up to three times a week, medium use would be up to five times a week, heavy use would be seven times a week and chronic heavy use would be frequently every day.

For a urine test and as a rule of thumb, light users should see any traces of THC disappear after three days, but heavy users will need up to 30 days plus.

If you have to undergo a saliva test, then allow three days if you are a light user, seven days for a medium user, 15 days for a heavy user but again up to 30 days or even more if you are a chronic heavy user.

For a blood test, the rule is up to two days for it to remain in the bloodstream, but THC has been found in blood tests 25 days after smoking cannabis, so unfortunately there really is no definitive answer.

  2. ReellyToteAPole Fishing on May 15, 2022 at 6:32 pm

    I was thinking I’ll schedule a dentist cleaning the day of my swab test and get both out of the way while I’m out

    I know that the actual hair follicle can be contaminated for a long time but when does the body stop producing contaminated hair?



  4. Port Vale Nick on May 15, 2022 at 6:32 pm

    Watched this after failing pee test thc. First day medical.



  5. bchedda on May 15, 2022 at 6:32 pm

    39 days now and it’s still in my urine wtf



  6. Harold Swick on May 15, 2022 at 6:34 pm

    Carry a small flexible pouch on your body. Trade clean urine for yours in a test. Doctor’s don’t understand this especially in rural areas. Smoke and enjoy this gift.



  7. Mitchell V. on May 15, 2022 at 6:34 pm

    The system is setting people up for failure. How can they legalize THC recreational-use yet refuse/terminate employment because of it!? It’s sabotage! I would expect to see lawsuits on the matter. Anybody agree?..



  8. Felixlad on May 15, 2022 at 6:35 pm

    Smoked a bowl last night have a random drug test to get a 4 year apprenticeship contract found out today I got three days to prepare, parents will kill me if I don’t get this job I’m drinking heaps of water and got a really fast metabolism, I smoke 1 a week usually will 4 days of constant drinking help me pass? I’m looking forward to getting baked afterwards though..



  9. Bryne Wolf on May 15, 2022 at 6:39 pm

    Okay so I have a hair follicle test in two weeks for pre-employment. I’m 5’11 and 294lbs. It’s been 90 days since I consumed these two edibles (5mg each.) I would say I was a moderate user? I bought these two bags of edibles that were both 100mg (20 pieces in each bag) in June and I ate the last two in early August. Before that I hardly smoked or consumed edibles My exercise was just walking 5miles every other day in those 90 days. Am I good?



  10. George .S. on May 15, 2022 at 6:45 pm

    Will a small hit of pot on a Friday night and another on a Saturday night then nothing on a Sunday get you a fail on a Monday morning? With some dilution by drinking water on the way to work and on the way to the facility. I know it’s a stupid question right? Lol

    Let’s blame the tobacco and alcohol industries. You know, the ones that actually kill people.



  15. Matthew Bonner on May 15, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    For a channel listed as "The Cannabis Experts", this video is riddled with inaccurate claims and false statements, do your own research and avoid videos by these bozos.



  16. Teri Maaa on May 15, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    Was my first time smoking ever like 7 days ago and have a drug test tomorrow, Would it still come up

  18. Ervin Bush on May 15, 2022 at 6:50 pm

    Best advice to my weed smokers : buy a whizzanator it’s a fake penis that with a push of a Magic button will piss out clean piss that you put it in it .very simple and always works because it looks like like real penis.



  19. Jus10Kaliboi on May 15, 2022 at 6:50 pm

    You can do cocaine, heroine, meth, acid, get totally drunk and kill a family over the weekend and pass the test on Monday. complete bullshit.



  25. SirDanksALot1337 on May 15, 2022 at 6:59 pm

  29. Badass Level on May 15, 2022 at 7:01 pm

    If you passed the THC drug test find a better caregiver



  30. Danii on May 15, 2022 at 7:01 pm

    Would a bong bowl everyday be consider medium user? 😬



  31. The S/Word on May 15, 2022 at 7:03 pm

    The best way to beat the test is to change the laws that make that test even a thing.



  32. joel on May 15, 2022 at 7:03 pm

    If a person uses a Dragon deep tissue salve roll up with cbn, and thc, in it topically, with they fail a test?

I was pissing dirty, so I did the certo method, and I drug tested myself before I took the test and I saw a very dim line so I passed, but when I went to to the drug test they did a blood drug test I’ve been clean for 41 days do yall think I passed I’m worried since I was still pissing dirty before the certo method?



  36. Ocean-Melody on May 15, 2022 at 7:09 pm

    If you pass a 20ng test with a faint line will I pass a lab urine test?



  37. Crybaby Lebron on May 15, 2022 at 7:11 pm

    It has been 2.5 months since I last smoked and I am still failing at home thc tests? Someone please give me advice. Thc has never stayed in my system for this long. It’s usually out within a month



  38. Leoscott Karendi on May 15, 2022 at 7:12 pm

  39. HIGH LEVEL EL PASO TX on May 15, 2022 at 7:13 pm

  40. Death Rage on May 15, 2022 at 7:15 pm

    This is ridiculous on drug tests for “weed”. But Alcohol and cigarettes get a pass. Not all jobs but some out there don’t care for alcohol but one joint means no job for u. What people do outside of their job stays outside of it. Federal government is too busy sniffing their own farts instead of changing old and broken laws



  41. STILLPunkedUp on May 15, 2022 at 7:20 pm

    As a cannabis enthusiasts for over a decade… I have 7 days to pass a drug test.. challenge accepted!! Lol



  42. Tim Lawson on May 15, 2022 at 7:20 pm

    I haven’t been able to pass a drug test since 1973 and proud of it .



  43. DiegoDemons on May 15, 2022 at 7:22 pm

    Will nicotine make me fail a marijuana drug test



  44. STRIX on May 15, 2022 at 7:23 pm

    Heavy users would take 6-9 Months to clear out of Urine. The ONLY Drug to stay in your system that long. All other Drugs clear out of your urine after 2-3 weeks. Use Fake Urine or get some from a friend that doesn’t smoke / do drugs. Put it in a nitrile/latex glove and keep it in some very warm (not hot) cup of coffee or tea before going in to test. If its a Hair test unfortunately you need to just wait it out give it 4-6 months, possibly 1 year.



  45. Arvalb on May 15, 2022 at 7:23 pm

    Why you showing taiwan flag,
    taiwan isn’t a country stop spreading lies.



  46. G Moshpit on May 15, 2022 at 7:26 pm

    So I’m 70kgs, skinny as , I’m 24 and have a drug test coming up, I have an extremely fast metabolism which I know helps a bit. The last time I smoke was a week ago. I’ve researched up everything to help me cleanse before my drug test in a week but I prefer if any one that has passed a urine test within a extremely short amount of time to please give me some advice or remedy’s to help thanks



  47. The Light Knight on May 15, 2022 at 7:27 pm
