How to pass a urine test is pretty straightforward, but I’m constantly amazed by all the false information that’s out there being passed around. But if you’re feeling desperate about finding a way to pass a drug test, I can understand why you might be tempted to go with something that ‘sounds good.’ And especially if this is your first time being tested, it can be really hard to tell the good info about how to pass a urine test from the bad.
Sometimes I feel like a preacher or something, I swear. But instead of getting up on a pulpit to rant about fire and brimstone and the wages of sin, I’m on a soapbox trying to get through to people that dilution is the only reliable way to pass a urine test. And instead of fighting Satan, my nemesis is a Mountain of Misinformation.
An Important Fact About Passing a Urine Test With Dilution
What about you? Have you heard about dilution and then just dismissed it as yet another weird theory about how to pass a urine test? Well, before you write it off, think about this: you know those detox drinks you can buy? That’s exactly how they work: DILUTION, plain and simple. Yes, I KNOW they claim to ‘cleanse’ your system, blah, blah, blah. But the harsh scientific reality is that you can’t detoxify your body to get rid of THC in a hurry – all you can do is temporarily detoxify your urine by flushing your kidneys with water. So the only thing detox drinks actually cleanse is your wallet, regardless of their marketing hype.

How Detox Drinks Work
When you read the directions on any commercial detox drink, every single one tells you to drink lots of water before drinking it. The reason why is because those companies know the truth – that dilution is the only way to pass a urine test in a hurry. But a good sales pitch can make common dirt sound like the answer to your prayers, so they have to make you believe that their products contain some secret potion that can miraculously wash THC out of your system. But the reality is that it’s the water you drink that temporarily ‘washes’ the THC out of your kidneys. All a detox drink does is provide you with the supplements you need in order to hide the fact that you’re diluting from the testing lab.
The Pros & Cons of Using a Detox Drink to Pass a Urine Test
Which isn’t to say that detox drinks never work, because they often do. The big problem with them is that they’re just not very reliable. They’re a one-size-fits-all solution for the average person, and because everyone’s metabolism is different, you just have no way of knowing in advance if you’re going to be average enough for them to work for you. In most cases you’re way better off just buying the same ingredients that are in those things and custom-making your own ‘detox drink’ at home. Every single ingredient in those drinks is something you can buy yourself in any health food store or major pharmacy.
Another good reason for making your own detox drink is that it gives you a chance to test yourself before taking your real test. With a commercial detox drink you don’t get a second chance, unless you buy a couple of them at fifty bucks or more a pop. Making your own happens to be a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a commercial drink, but I think for most people that’s not really a big consideration. After all, if you lose your job because you didn’t pass a urine test then it won’t really matter how much money you saved.
There’s information about how to make your own detox drink plastered all over this website, and a good place to start is by reading the tips in this post. But if you’re in a hurry and you just want it all in one place, then you might want to check out my ebook about how to pass a drug test.
But one damn good argument in favor of commercial detox drinks is that they’re just so easy. You drink lots of water and then chug down the bottle right before you go in for your urine test. Period, you’re done. If you pass, you just saved yourself some hassle. Making your own home brew means you have to buy the individual ingredients that will mask your dilution, and then you have to keep track of what you’re taking and how much water you’re drinking. So, some people just may not want to deal with it. I don’t recommend taking a chance on a commercial drink if you have a probation test, or if you absolutely, positively have to keep/get a job. But if failing your test wouldn’t be the end of the world, then I can see where someone might want to just get a commercial detox drink and be done with it. I’m so used to making my own brew now that I don’t have to think about it, but I think for some people it would just be too much of a hassle. I guess it just depends on your desperation level.
Home Remedies That Won’t Help You Pass a Urine Test
One thing I get asked about a lot is Sure-Jell, or Certo (same thing). Of all the home remedies out there about how to pass a drug test I think this is one of the most dangerous, because it actually does appear to work sometimes. But you know what? Whenever I’ve talked to someone that passed with Sure-Jell, every single person has told me that they also diluted. But most of the people I’ve talked to who used Sure-Jell didn’t pass, either because they didn’t dilute at all, or because they diluted too much and the testing lab failed them for it. If you’re thinking about using this method because someone you know passed with it, ask them to tell you exactly what steps they used. I bet you discover the same thing I did.
Another theory about how to pass a urine test that you’ve probably read about is taking huge amounts of niacin – and this one really makes me crazy. Not only is it useless for passing a drug test, you can actually cause permanent damage to your liver if you overdose on it. Which isn’t that hard to do when you’re taking like 100 times or more the recommended daily dose. This one got started years ago from a book written by the late L. Ron Hubbard (the founder of Scientology). The book was about a purification/detoxification program for drug addicts, among other things. I’m not saying niacin isn’t an important vitamin, but Hubbard thought it could basically cure cancer and save the world. But um, last I checked the guy never got any degrees in medicine or nutrition, so his advice is based on his opinion alone, not fact. And then there’s that whole Scientology thing. That’s all I’ll say about that…
And then there are other miracle cures: cranberry juice (diuretic, just makes you pee more), vinegar (changes the PH of your urine), etc. etc. etc. You get the idea. Believe me, I know it’s overwhelming when you see how much wildly different information there is on the net about how to pass a drug test. You’d think it’d be easy to find out, but man, it is not. In the end it comes down to an entirely personal decision, but when it comes to specifically how to pass a urine test, I hope I’ve at least given you some food for thought. I’m not saying there’s not good information out there, but before you choose a method to go with just take everything you read with a grain of salt, verify your sources, and above all, ask lots of questions.

Well so I took a drug test today. Drank the detox.. 2 hours befor with out water for like 3 day.. Pea about 3 time befor I took the test.. The nurse ask me if I take vimains I told her yea.. So I guess it does work,, am be sure let yu guys knoe the results
I have a drug test to be taken in 3 hours.. I havent smoked nething since last Thursday! Ive been drinking alot of fluids.. lemon water, beer, pop, ive eaten greens (spinach) and I worked out this morning and worked up a big sweat.. do you think thats going to work?? Ive never had to take a drug test for a job b4 so im really nervous. PLease HELP!
Any additional advice would be helpful…
I smoked 1-4 hits off my glass pipe every night for a year and when I found out I might be getting a drug test I quit. Aug 16th was the last night I smoked which makes today my tenth day smoke free. I am not sure when they will spring the test on me, but I know its coming. From everything I have read, my action plan is to purchase an at home drug test, drink approx. 60 oz of water, take a double dose of Vit B complex and test myself. If this works, I will repeat the steps for the real deal. My concern is people keep talking about creatine levels. Should I take a creatine supplement as well a day before? Also, some personal info…I am female, 5’2″ and weigh 168. I have been working out 30 min a day for about 1.5 months trying to get back into shape and have lost approx. 10 lbs so far. Should I continue this or should I stop until my drug test is over? Sorry for the long post. Regardless…I will post my results once they come in. Thanks for any help.
I smoked 3 days ago an have a piss tommarow for a job how much water should i drink?? That detox crap is to expensive already drank 3 gallons of water today am i good???
Did YOu pass
did you pass
curious…if I had no prior drugs/weed in my system and smoked 2 bowls four nights ago and one last night how long would it stay in your system in you were 5’6 135 and worked out a lot, took creatine and Vitamin B daily plys metabolism pills and drank a lot of water??
so, your about the same size as me, a little shorter. The best but most expensive way to know how long THC stays in your system is to get a few drug tests and after 5 days, test yourself. if you fail, way 2 days, and go again. FAIL? wait 2 days and go again. if you fail the third, just easily assume it stays for at least 2 weeks. i did this, and i am 5′ 10″, 135lb, 8% body fat, and work out every single day and eat like a ton of food every day. THC was out of my system in 5 days…best way to find out.
HOW DO I CLEAR THIS NAME AND WEB INFO,
It all can work depending on your body. I’m almost done in nursing school and nutrition is my passion. No one here is stupid, except for the judgmentals, everyone is opinionated and a bit bias. Research vitamins, especially the ‘B’ group… Water, good food, and vitamins OF COURSE; but just so you know, Niacin IS a B vitamin, it’s B3!! Yes, THC is stored in fat so the exercise will help but not the days before… just as some have said, light meals to get your body storing fat the days before, not metabolize, because your kidneys LOVE ridding of fat. Eating fatty foods will make your body metabolize your fat since your intake is up. So really you need to know your metabolism. Creatine I know about from nursing; this is in all urine because it’s, in lames terms, waste. Aka fat and other shit. Never thought about taking the supplement though, GENIUS!
I actually got re-tested 3times by a hospital for school/job for being “too dilute” and I was not doing it intentionally, I’m just a health nut.
A girl I knew quit smoking the cannabis for only 2wks, barely drank water, and passed; and she had plenty of fat storage. Be smart about it.
you sound like you know a thang or two so i wana ask you will diluting work for me if the test is 11 hours away and i smoked 30 minutes ago and its marijuana and im 185 pds and the urine will not be sent to a lab it tested with some little object with four strips on it
DUDE ALL I WONNA KNOW DOES Dilution WORK OR NOT I HAVE TO KNOW BECAUSE I REALLY NEED THIS JOB AND I CANT MESS THIS UP SO COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE
I DONT KNOW BUT CAN IT HURT TO TRY
Drink plenty of water at least a gallon n u will pass 100% of the time!
I’ve tried drinking lots of water but it can end up giving you a negative dilute result. Be careful people because if your employer sees this result they may or may not have u tested again. You will not be asked to come work for them because they will believe that you “tampered” with the urine sample. If you’re lucky you will be asked to be tested again and it will buy you time to get clean.
> I’ve tried drinking lots of water but it can end up giving you a negative dilute result.
Dilution is the only way anyone can pass a urine test. But pretty much the entire point of this website, and my e-book, is to teach people how NOT to get a negative-dilute result. It’s not that hard.
Seriously if you drink a gallon of cranberry juice – the real stuff not the juice cocktail crap has to be only cranberry juice withen a 2 hour period prior – then pee good at least 3 times – the fourth will be clean !
Best way to pass a drug test is to not do drugs!
Is everyone so think they can’t see it..
reading through all of these is a joke..
I’m a nurse and the countless kids I see that do drugs are usually from no hope families all claiming to be victims of society..my own son is one of these and these web sites just encourage the use of drugs..
I was from a poor background and like to think I changed my life…sure most of us have tried it but have the intelligence to stop..you will probably get a good laugh from reading this and I only hope that in years to come you never have to have your kids do drugs!
chances are you will and its heartbreaking to watch, I’v been abused in my past and have never fallen victim to this new wonder drug you all crave!
I only hope that one person reading this will actually take note and not take there life as my cousin did! (with a rope!) one for the imagination!
Take care to all of you out there who do this and think its smart cause I’v never met a happy person on it yet!!
Really okay so we had some weed and it was just like a lil bit an I had to eat it like that and we have readom drug teat at are school well it be gone soon or what cause I’m freakng out!!!
i smoke mad weed and have school random drug tests every monday all i do is get some ones pee that is clean and put it in a little container and then bring hand warmers to school with you and everytime i get tested i get the pee and hand warmers warm up the pee put it in my pocket and go
thats smart
DUDE! Just drink a gallon of water before hand and quit whining.
haha nice! i have a drug test today.. been drinking water all week.. gonna drink some green tea now then a bunch of apple cider vinegar mixed with water for the rest of the morning til I take the test.
okay yall, from what i gather here dilution is the best method….makes perfect sense u take the vitamin Bs for color and creatine a day before so ur within the correct parameters. I test every 3 weeks for probation and its in a lab so they measure creatine and ph levels. I have smoked some mad medicinal chronic after my tests, then stay clean for at least 2 weeks, used the detox drink NC Strip and passed twice. this time i’m going to try dilution. what i want to know is will the gel stuff stop thc metabolites from being excreted into my urine sample? and why the hell would these anit-pot douche bags comment with such negativity? your boss is probly a stoner and so is your daughters school bus driver idiot so get a life and go criticize the red-necks cooking meth at your neighbors house!
I totally agree do they try to look for things like these? people are so clueless and closed minded, Im sure if they have something negative to say about pot they’ve never done it! they should be worried about the ACTUAL addicts and alchs driving next to them
just got the job but have to take a pee test next week. I’ve taken dozens of pee tests and have passed them all. I just smoke weed, have for about 20 years off and on. I drink cranberry juice from the healthfood store with zero sugar in it. Lots of water and buy the test strips or kit to test your pee before going in for the real one. Also, I put bleach on my 2 fingers and pee on my fingers. Hope it works again.
be warned that a lot of test centers have you wash your hands because they know of the bleach trick.!!
I’ve been an active skateboarder for
about 8 years now, and a heavy smoker
for about 6 years now, but I skate for about
5 hours a day and sweat tremendously,
I’m 6’0 and 145lbs and I’m taking a drug test
in about 15 days to go on extern at
a hospital, I have a box of quick fix should I
just use that or try to detox w/ water and vitamins
and no smoking? How long do any of you think
it would take for me to detox? I’m very fit
keep in mind, almost anorexic looking.
I am a frequent user, but have stopped for just over 6 weeks now. I may have to take a UA for employment in about two weeks. I was able to pass a home test only after drinking about 40 oz of water (but color was a little on the pale side). I do have a high BMI. Was wondering if anyone else thought my chances were high of passing when that time comes.
Also…please support NORML.
Screw all that. Synthetic urine will work 100% of the time, as long as no one is watching you (I doubt anyone will).
i drank to much water to where my urine looks like water it aint yellow at all, i have a ua in about 3 hours and last time i took the test it said it was tampered with i think that was cause of all the water, what can i do to pass the urine test
i havent smoked in 4 days and just drank water,will i pass my test tomorow?
i used a detox drink to take my drug test. I peed four times because it was still yellow. when i peed in the cup it was bright clear yellow this doesnt mean i failed does it?
okay so i smoked tuesday night and im taking my test this coming monday. ive been drinking over a gallon of water a day, started taking cranberry supplement pills yesterday, and 1000 mg of niacin today. so how long should i take the niacin until and should i increase my daily dose? also, i have vitamin b-2 to take to put color into my urine, but how much should i take and how long before the test? i took an at-home test today and passed but its being tested at a lab so im getting really nervous, any help would be greatly appreciated!!
i have a drug test on monday (3 days away). i smoke everyday & have for years now. what is the best way to get it out of my system? quickly & as simple as possible. i wanted to bring someone elses pee with me but i was told by one person that they watch me pee & told by another that theyre not allowed to watch unless its crime related (like on parole or probation). also that it would hav 2 b body temperature. this is just for a job. i live in illinois. anyone kno anything? pleeeeasssse help :( im in desperate need of a job & i finally my dream job. helping animals & i will be devastated if i dont get it.
so how can i prevent my urine from being too dilluted
any answers to my question?
just peed today after about a 2 day break from smokin about a gram… havent smoked in 4 years… drank alot of water and peed about, damn… 3 times before the test. I was on a real small snack diet and had a big breakfast the morning of the test bcuz it was unexpected… anyone think imma pass??
No
Has anyone taken Synthetic Urine recently and passed?
My friend bought it 3 years ago and passed.
Back in ’95-99 I always used the $40 drinks and passed – then I lost a job in 2000 b/c the drink failed me.
So, as of July 2010 – anyone take Synthetic Urine this year and pass a test?
i took quick fix yesterday and my test came back diluted….
ok so i am 16 and am now applying for a job i have a piss test in one week, but i hit a roach kush 2 weeks ago. i drank alot of water and cranberry juice will i pass? Also i was a heavy smoker and then i stoppped for 2 weeks, but then i hit the roach.
I have taken 2 lortab 10s today in i have a drug test tommorow what do i do, Please help i had a bad tooth ache in i never took them until now in i am afraid of lossing a chance at a really good job any body have any ideas
okay, i smoke eveyday and i have a piss test tomorrow. what should i do ?
okay, i smoked 2 days ago which was on sunday and i have a urine test tomorrow which is wednsday. ive been clean for the 2 days before the test, taking alot of multivitamins, and flushing my system out with water and tea..am i basically screwed for tomorrow’s test?
I used Quickfix Synthetic Urine between 10-15 times on my randoms at work. It works every damn time. Im not here to pitch no bullshit to anybody but its like $35 and it works every time. It may be a little high in price for some of you but it works for me every time so i have no problem paying it. They have a website too. I messed up urine tests on the detox drinks before. I dont trust them at all
I smoked 3 weeks ago. Nothing big, a couple hits. It wasn’t of a high strain either. Just schwag, now normally you would say i would be clean no matter what. But, i am 6’2″ 300+ lbs. I have a drug test tomorrow.
LEGALIZE IT please. Make tobacco and salvia illegal!!! I have graduated with my bachelor of fine art degree from a university and i would like it to be a little easier for a ten year smoker to get a job. I have never quit not even for one day and I don’t think I can or should have to. These employers will hire a stupid pill head and turn down an overqualified weed smoker the same day. Employers should give me a chance. I won’t come to work high or sell weed at work. Give us a chance. We are not all stupid.
So I gather that dilution is the only way to pass. Or bring a friends urine. Some say bleach fixes it, some say it does not. Some say exersise a lot, some say it re releases the thc from your fat cells? Nobody mentions Golden Seal? is that like Creatine?
Golden seal is what they look for. You people think the drug test or labs are stupid. They can see what shit you take and if the levels are high, they know that you are trying to hide something.
i might have a drug test tomorrow and i have smoked some pot and need to know how i can get it out of my system quick.i have heard taking efferdent works but how do u pass?
can anyone help

I def do not want to buy the detox kit because the cheapest one around my area is 103 dollars. Can someone help me out and give me specific instructions in order to take advantage of these last hours that i have. thanks

I smoked roughly about 5 weeks ago, & i took a lab test from the state today. Do u think i passed the drug test, i had also taken water pills a day after smoking. if i fail i will go to rehab for 9 months.
Im in texas btw.
I took 3 lortab tens yesterday around 4 pm and i have a piss test 2morrow at ll is there anyway to pass this test
So i may have to pee for my probation officer in 5 days, and for the past month i have smoked almost everyday. I know the pee will be sent to a lab. i’ve done the lots of water drinking b4 the test in the past for other occasions but they all were dip stick tests. the sending to the lab thing is what bugs me out. Does the diluting and taking vitamins really work? also has anyone ever used the synthetic urine?
synthetic urine works but they will watch you piss well they do in my state its tuff to keep it body temp look in to the wizzanator you gotta have some balls to use this tho
They send ours out to, and even after 36 days of not smoking and a detox drink I still failed. You have to quit for a while to pass.
Yes synthetic urine does work i have used it. But do the water and vitamin thing you never know.
I failed my test because of a POSITIVE Opiate reading. I,m clean and I
would like to know why?
poppy seed. or vicadin
Wonder if this has happened to anyone else. I failed a pre-employment drug screen yesterday and have another test for a different job at the same clinic tomorrow, If I pass are they going to challenge it?
wow this is so funny i really hope you people are not listening to these STUPID comments some of these people are leaving
if they cant spell simple words then you should probably NOT take their advice on how to pass a drug test
heres some food for thought for you on how to pass a drug test
DONT DO DRUGS
TADA problem solved
if your on probation why in the hell would you smoke weed when you know you could get a drug test at any given time and then come on these websites and listen to STUPID ass comments that people are leaving
UGH PEOPLE PISS ME OFF
you should relax and smoke a fatty…
agreed
Funny.. you remind me of my ex.
her name was emily oddly enough.
what you need to do is smoke a blunt and youll have a whole new outlook on life trust me
You are on the wrong site if you are so against 420. Get out!!
I smoke weed 4 times a day and am an extremely good speller, intelligent and possess an expansive vocabulary, and make good money so let me ask this smart bitch; if you don’t like weed why are you spending your time on weed sites talking shit to people. No one on the site asked for a judgement to be posted. Get a life. ugh. bitches piss me off.
people that want to talk shit shouldnt even be on a website like this. like why would you even post a comment when you are against or offended about what people have said. get a life and grow up considering i guess you must get off by trying to shit on other people when actually, i doubt anyone give a damn what you say. Grow up and go back to your.. i guess unexciting life?
STFU, Dont do drugs, weed is no more of a drug than evrything else that is sold legaly.it is much better than alcohol or tobacco. LEGALIZE IT
emilys im better than you attitude sure smells ,just comes on here to preach?catch cancer emily
wow did you figure that out all by your little self, why are you on this site Emily?
Oh Emily…why are you here? I don’t mean on this site, but on this earth. Haven’t you got anything better to do than to spread your toxic judgement on the world? Like fall on a knife?
i hit a joint like 4 times last night and i took two hits out of a vaporizer the day before. i most likely will be getting tested later this week, if not, early next week. can someone help please?
just sweat ur ass off. if it means having sex, playing sports, running, whatever
i came on this site to try to pass a piss test and you people didnt help me any
dude i smoked the day before probation and the morning i went and i passed just drank a half a gallon of water about 2 hours before the test take about 3 to 4 pisses beause thc builds up in yuor system so you gotta get all that piss out of you when you wake up cause it qwill be dirty then just fill your stomach up with around a half gallon of water more doesnt hurt but you dont need to go crazy like people usualy tghink and also drinkin water like crazy a week before uyou test wont do shit cause its in your fat cells so all were trying to do here is fill you bladder with anough water to were the thc levels are so low they cannot be tested also take a vitamin B comlex about an hour before the test witch will make your urine yellow tnkas B Downlsow
Wow! Punctuation is your friend, brother.
If I smoked the week or a day or whaever before I get a home u.a. Would clorox bleach make it come up positive?
if its first check drug test they are vary accurate no it wont work your gunna have to stop smokeing and start drinking alot thats the only way
I am simply amazed at how stupid you people are. Did you not read the post? Those drinks, Niacin, ANY DETOX DRINK. THEY ARE ALL SCAMS. Dilution is THE only way to pass a drug test. I smoked seven hours before a test.. Drank a butt load of water, took vitamin B-2 B-6 and B-12, Drank about a half gallon of cranberry juice, and took two creatine pill.. all about 4-5 hours before the test, urinated 30 times before the test.. to empty my bladder of toxins, kept drinking and drinking and drinking water, although not too much that you get water intoxication.. And took the right vitamins to make my urine pass.. NONE of those drinks/powders/BS cures work.. They all say “Drink lots of water with, or before drinking this drink”.. thats the whole point. the drink just makes your pee yellow. thats it. but so does the vitamins and cranberry.
does it matter how much you smoke? because i smoke from sun up to sun down and then some more… so will 7 days be enough time with the flushing im doing
Did not work for me, but luckily I am legal and the judge understands it can take as long as 90 days for a heavy smoker, I have had to quit and no the detox drink did not work
whoops quick fix synthetic urine easier than drinking a half of a gallon of water, comes with heat pad and temp strip, yeh, only way to go…
for cort or probaition they watch you in a mirror…
They watch us directly and CLOSELY, I had to quit to pass, simple as that
Hope I don’t mess this up here…I had a few hits in the last week and have been a non-smoker prior to that. Will I fail if I’ve only had a few hits?
I have a drug test coming up tomorrow. The last time i smoked was april 13, tomorrow will be may 11th. Exactly 28 days later i havent smoked. Recently been goin to the gym for atleast 45 mins a day. I’m about 5″6 150lbs. I smoked for a few months a good everyday.Havent been eating too much fat foods atleast a salad a day. I’m drinking a more then half gallon of green tea at the moment and i just want to know if i will be able to pass my urine test tomorrow? Let me know what to do.
so i have not smoked for over two weeks now and am going to have a urine test in about 13 days (about a month of not smoking). i recently took a home drug test called ‘first check’ which claims lab accuracy…my results on that came out negative. im just looking for any suggestions people might have that will increase my chances even further on passing the real test.
Water, water and more water
Too much water is not good.
