This happens in a lot of jobs and careers, especially those where you are in some position of authority, power, or responsibility, or simply because you operate heavy or dangerous machinery.
Whatever your thoughts on drug tests at work, they can be really annoying, and there is nothing worse than what you feel is a false negative.
We are going to cover these points and more in the following article.
How Does An At Home Drug Test Work?
At Home drug testing sounds scary, but don’t worry – there isn’t going to be anyone turning up to your house with an ice box and a hazmat suit any time soon, nor will the men in black be knocking on your door.
This is America – we have rights!
The bottom line is that the drug test will work like any other drug test you have done.
Most drug tests either require saliva samples, urine samples, or hair follicle samples. In most domestic settings, the urine sample is often the most popular among companies.
When completing these at home, nothing really changes, but you are expected to honestly complete the tests on your own.
These tests will test for illegal drugs, so don’t worry about aspirin or anything like that.
This includes, but isn’t limited to: heroin, cocaine, MDMA, LSD, PCP, and of course our old friend Mary Jane.
Most importantly, the company you work for will often require their employee to go out and buy an at home drug test, complete it, and file their results with the company.
Where Can You Acquire At Home Drug Tests?
There are lots of drug tests on the market, you can easily purchase them from Walgreens, CVS, Walmart and many other stores. More importantly, they can also be purchased online.
PassYourTest is a really useful online resource where you can choose different types of test in order to meet a toxicity level requirement, or you can purchase cheaper and simpler ones as a straight edge person.
They offer some very reliable and accurate THC readings for the stoners out there.
For instance, this Single Panel test will simply tell you a yes or no answer to whether there are THC levels in your body, just like a pregnancy test.
Even if you have to do an in person test, this can help you see what your results may be so you can prepare.
The other side of this is that you can also purchase a toxicity test.
This is good to check what levels your THC content are. In the modern world, marijuana is legal, depending on your state, but many people smoke it and companies take this into account.
As a result, many companies enact a toxicity level reading which essentially allows you to have some THC content in your body, but the company will create a threshold whereby if you exceed that level they will consider the test a ‘fail’.
PassYourTest offers a really helpful ‘Test-o-meter’ which is considered to be one of the more sensitive on the market, which is what you want so there are no surprises.
Through Amazon you can also purchase a whole host of different types of drug tests from different companies often in bulk format which can be helpful for regular drug tests.
These tests operate just like the ‘Test-o-meter’, white these tests provide a simple binary answer if you test for THC or not as well as other things.
What If My Test Is Dirty?
After anxiously peeing into a cup, your test comes back dirty and you are testing positive for THC, and hopefully nothing else.
Don’t panic, this situation can still be saved in totally legal ways that won’t incriminate you.
We aren’t talking about going full Russia and swapping urine samples, this is totally illegal and not cool to do at all, you are only putting someone else’s job at risk.
However, you may be surprised to learn there are ways you can regain your biological sobriety naturally.
This bailout is called detoxing and is actually a service provided by certain companies, or can even be done at home.
It takes THC a good three weeks to leave your body, and a lot longer if you regularly smoke cannabis daily.
Many companies in the cannabis world offer detox programs which help cleanse your system of THC.
This can still take around 5 – 10 days, but if you can preempt your drug test in advance, you can really get ahead of the test.
On Amazon, you can purchase different sorts of detox programs, many of which are totally safe.
Some kits use capsules which speed up your natural detox process, while others provide drinks that can do the same.
You guessed it, PassYourTest also offers something similar on their website for different levels of THC consumption in both drinks and capsules.
So, as you can see, a dirty result can be dealt with to either provide a clean result or to provide a lower toxicity level.
The main thing you should do is know when your tests are coming up so you can prepare this stuff in advance.
Final Thoughts
At Home drug tests can sound like a very invasive thing, like the drug testers are going to come to your house and watch you pee in a cup – but this isn’t the case.
In most situations companies can’t afford to pay private companies to verify these tests (thanks to private health care prices) so ask their employees to agree to at-home tests in their contract when they are employed.
However, what is clear from this article is that not only are these tests easy but even if you come back dirty it isn’t the end of your career just yet.
Hello, my name is Tom Bowler and I have been interested in the studies of cannabis for years. My brother and I have been testing out different strains and smoking techniques since we were in our early 20s, so we have some knowledge to impart on anyone willing to listen.
This website is a safe space for people genuinely interested in cannabis to learn in a judgment-free zone. We’ll look at the different ways it can be smoked, rolling techniques, strains, and much more.
So, stay a while and get acquainted with the world of cannabis - it’s not as dark and scary as the rest of the internet would have you believe.
