When prepping for a drug test, it can be stressful trying to figure out if all of the THC has left your body.
Although many companies around the United States are beginning to see cannabis use as normal, there are still some that require THC-free drug tests for new and existing employees.
The general rule is to stop using THC one month before the drug test, but this is not a guarantee.
Sustained THC presence in the body can vary depending on body fat percentage, how frequently you exercise, eating habits, metabolism, how much you smoke, and how often you smoke.
Sedentary lifestyles exacerbated by COVID-19 combined with a few extra winter pounds can cause THC metabolites to stay in the body longer, since they are stored in the fat cells.
Drug tests look for low levels of the metabolite THC-COOH, and the good news is many of these drug tests are available for purchase.
Below are a few quality drug tests you can purchase and have shipped to your home:
Easy@Home Marijuana (THC) Single Panel
This affordable kit is a consistent test, best for those who are looking to have a morning check-in for the weeks leading up to a drug test.
There are 15 tests in each box, but you also have the option to go as high as a 200-pack.
These tests are cleared by the FDA and approved for over-the-counter use. More than 99% accurate and from a company with 18 years of drug-test industry experience and 4 years as the best seller.
Highly Sensitive THC Test Kit
This FDA-approved test kit can detect THC up to 45 days after consumption and only takes 5 minutes to read the results.
This is recommended for those who tend to keep THC in their body a little longer and know they have a drug test over a month away.
If it doesn’t meet your expectations, you will get a full refund including the cost of shipping immediately.
Easy@Home Ultrasonic Waterproof Adjustable
This affordable kit comes out to less than $1 per test. This is ideal for home and workplace drug testing and is used by some universities to test their students.
The single wrapped, waterproof design makes this a good test for bathrooms that have a high splash factor, which is typically associated with dog baths and rambunctious toddlers.
Highly Sensitive Marijuana Test
This kit is not only useful for High-THC cannabis users, but also High-CBD users as well.
Pure CBD, found in many isolates, won’t make you fail a drug test, but many CBD flowers contain very low levels of THC and can make you test positive.
According to a study at the University of Pennsylvania, 21% of CBD and hemp products sold on the internet contained THC.
This test is great for those who use CBD but need to make sure that some of that pesky THC didn’t sneak its way into your system.
Prime Screen THC Urine Screening Test Kit
You just started a new job, but want to make sure you are THC-free, even though you haven’t smoked in weeks and you’ve been adhering to all of the detox reddit threads like running twice a day, flooding your body with cranberry juice, and taking an Epson salt bath while eating fresh goat cheese and arugula (just kidding).
This painless test is highly rated by reviewers and works for both light and heavy THC users.
5 x Aidteq Professional 5 Level Sensitivity Marijuana Rapid Drug Test Dip Cards
The minimum concentration of THC that standard tests look for is 50 ng/ml, but sometimes companies look for even lower levels than this.
Luckily, this kit can detect THC concentrations ranging from 15 ng/ml all the way up to 300 ng/ml.
Despite the higher sensitivity for picking up low levels of THC, this is still an easy-to-use device with 99.99% accuracy in just five minutes.
This test is recommended for those that have a history of testing positive long after four weeks of no THC use.
Easy@Home 5 panel Instant Drug Test Kit
You felt a little strange after using some cannabis from a new source during a late Saturday binge-watch of a new show.
You’re not sure what it was, but your body is telling you that it might have been more than THC in that joint.
This 5-panel kit is used to screen not only for THC but also for opiates, cocaine, amphetamines, and benzodiazepines.
These are mostly used by pain clinics, screening teenagers and employment screening, so the accuracy is trusted.
GOLOHO Marijuana THC Drug Test Kit
Your brother needs help with the Church bake sale, but he is just “sick and tired of you showing up with eyes as red as the devil’s tail and eating all of the snickerdoodles.”
So, he’s going to drug test you this time, and you knew you were screwed when you walked into the bathroom and saw this test in there.
Easy-to-read and confidential results in the privacy of your own home with a no questions asked money back guarantee.
Identify Diagnostics 12 Panel Drug Test Cup
That nice lady in the Electric Forest parking lot who sold you grilled cheese sandwiches and a bong rip looked a little too mischievous when you asked if it was “just weed.”
Now your fingernails are glittering more than usual, your eyeballs are the size of dinner plates, and tree bark is more fascinating than Diplo.
This 12-panel test screen is for everything under the sun. Although expensive, it is a great detox companion after riding out your four-day “vacation” at a music festival (whenever they return).
Its accuracy is trusted by educational institutions, hospitals, drug courts, law enforcement and workplaces.
Although many states have legalized cannabis, it is still illegal at the federal level. Some companies stated that they would not test for THC, but it is important, especially in this time to have job security. These tests will provide that for you.
