Just the Facts

INTRODUCTION
During a job interview, have you ever been asked to piss for your new employer? New applicants for many of the Fortune 500 corporations are now being forced to take a drug test. In fact, 15 million will be tested this year. Drug byproducts can be detected in urine, blood, hair, external residue, and even perspiration! Drugs aren't the only things they test for; employers are using urinalysis to test women for pregnancy. Pregnant women are getting laid off or denied employment after taking such a test. Parents are spying on their children. The DOD Directive requires the military to screen all active duty members annually. If you don't want to be a victim of the drug war, this text will help you. If you are well known, this text may protect your reputation. I strongly recommended that drug users (pot smokers in particular) read this. Other drugs are covered as well, but marijuana is the main focus of this paper.

1. DETECTION TIMES

1.1 Halflife of TetraHydraCannabinol: The halflife of THC concentration ranges between 0.8 to 9.8 days. There is too much human variation to even approximate how long THC will be detected in the urine of an individual.

Infrequent users with a fast metabolism will have the shortest detection time.

Frequent users with a slow metabolism will have long detection times. The only way to estimate a detection time is to consider the lower and upper bounds (3-30 days), and decide based on the factors I've mentioned.

1.2 Detection times of several drugs.

[TABLE 1.2]

Drug	Approximate Detection Time in Urine using EMIT
Amphetamines	2-4 days
Barbituates	x
Short-Acting (ie. secobarbital)	1 day
Long-Acting (ie. phenobarbital)	2-3 weeks
Benzodiazepines	3-7 days
Cannabinoids	3-30 days
Clenbuterol [PE]	2-4 days [F1]
Cocaine	2-4 days
Codeine	2-5 days
Euphorics (MDMA,psilocybin)	1-3 days [F2]
LSD	1-4 days [F6]
Methadone	3-5 days
Methaqualone	14 days
Nicotine	? [F5]
Opiates	2-4 days
Peptide hormones [PE]	undetectable
Phencyclidine (PCP)	2-4 days [F4]
Phenobarbital	10-20 days
Propoxyphene	6 hours to 2 days
Steroids (anabolic) [PE]	oral: 14 days [F3]
	parenterally: 1 month [F3]

Try to call in sick on test day to delay one more day if possible; it will help.

Other factors determining degree of intoxication include metabolism, tolerance, frequency of intake, fluid intake, amount of marijuana, potency of marijuana, and length of time you've been a user. If you use marijuana on rare occasions, your urine may be clean of metabolites in less than a week. There is a common and strange phenomena that occurs with chronic users. You would expect a chronic user to have the longest detection time and the smallest chance of passing. This is not always the case. A chronic user with a high tolerance will eliminate drugs quicker than an occasional user. Chronic users have tested negative after a week long binge. Lipid tissue also makes a huge difference. Skinny users not only have a faster metabolism (usually), but also lack storage for THC metabolites. Fat will cause a lag in excretion pattern, and lead to a longer detection time. You should now be able to understand why an individuals detection time for THC is so unpredictable. Please don't post or e-mail a question "how long will it take..." This is the single most frequently asked question. Many people can't even begin to estimate a detection for their own bodys, let alone the unseen, unknown body of a lost internet explorer.

There is an inaccurate program that will plot a graph of time versus percentage of THC in your system given the days you've smoked. The program is called CALC_THC.EXE and can be found on the internet. CALC_THC cannot possibly be accurate because it doesn't have any way of measuring the potentcy of the weed, and it leaves metabolism out of the equation. (see 14.2.3)

1.3 Positive (defined): 50 nanograms of THC metabolites per milliliter defines a "presumptive positive" by NIDA certified labs. This value was originally 20 ng/mL, but too many false positives resulted. So the level was raised to 100 ng/mL to reduce false positives. As of January 1995, the threshold was lowered back down to 50 ng/mL because drinking water would easily bring a positive below 100 ng. Be aware that these cutoffs are not universally consistent. I recently heard of a lab using a 15 ng/mL cutoff! Following is a table for cutoffs of other drugs:

[TABLE 1.3]

Drug	Screening Cutoff	GC/MS Cutoff
Amphetamines Class	500	500
Amphetamine		500
Methamphetamine		200
Barbituates	200	100
Cocaine	150	150
Marijuana	50	15
Opiates		300
Codeine		300
Morphine		300
Phenyclidine	25	25
