Urban Legends, Myths  & False Facts That Will Get You Into Trouble.

Various urban legends, myths and simple tricks have been running around for some time on passing a drug test.  These seem to be most often told to you casually by friends and other "experts".  Legends like just drink a lot of water or place something in your urine are well known and the tests have been adjusted to compensate.  These urban legends just won't die and these legends have lead many a person to failure. 

1. Drinking Lots Of Water Is All You Need To Do.
2. The Gold Seal Rumor Has Been Around For Years And Just Won't Die.
3. Substitute Synthetic Urine Or Someone Else's Urine.
4. Drinking Lots Of Cranberry Juice.
5. Placing Bleach, Visine, Ammonia or Drano In Your Urine.

                     . . . and there are many more. 

Think About It: If you know these tips, then the testers also know the tips and how to deal with them. The people doing urine drug tests have seen it all. The tests and testing methods have long ago been adjusted to compensate for their use. Like everything else, technology moves forward.

Many of the urban legends, drug test myths and false tips appear to be driven by people just wanting to sell you some product or just by well intentioned people that do not understand the drug testing process. Don't fall for these false tips to pass a drug test just to save a few dollars. Learn, understand and trust the science. Knowledge is your best friend when it comes to passing a drug test.

The Real Truth: People passing a drug test using tricks would have probably passed anyway, but the tricks are still getting the credit.

Common Drug Test Tips That Do Not Work Reliably.

The increase in drug testing has led to an increase in the ways people are trying to beat the drug tests. This has spawned a number of myths, urban legends and tips for passing a drug test as a result. We will explore some of these with the understanding that there is no absolute in drug testing.

1. Sample Substitution Or Adulteration has become popular with synthetic urine, drug free urine and a wide range of adulterants available on the internet and over-the counter. Some can be effective, but most are of dubious value as they are easily detectable and illegal to own or use in many cases. They require controlling the temperature of the urine to a normal level of between about 95 and 100 degrees and the synthetic urine must be used in 4 minutes or less form unpacking. They also tend not to have the tell tail bubbles on top of the urine and/or have a smell that will alert the testers. For your legal protection it is critical that you do not use these methods for any government or legally required drug test including military, civil service, and especially probation as it could end you up in jail. Also, many labs and collection sites will reject your specimen if they suspect it is synthetic, might ask you to urinate again under direct observation or send your sample off for a more comprehensive laboratory series of tests. Use Some Else's Urine - If you choose this method, you might want to test the other persons urine before you use it. Did you know there are hundreds of prescriptions, over-the-counter medications and even food that will cause you to fail your drug test? Contrary to what the testers say, you can fail a drug test by eating a poppy seed bagel. This was proven on the Myth Busters TV Show. This is called a False Positive Drug Test. Question: Do you really know what that other person could be taking or has eaten before giving you his sample? Did you know if you fail is up to you to prove you innocence?
2. Masking Products -- Masking methods are used to defeat a drug test by hiding the drug of concern. Most household substances (such as bleach or vinegar) will radically alter the pH of your urine, which will make it obvious that you tampered with your urine.
3. Products To Avoid - Many masking products you buy over the internet or over-the-counter often contain various masking substances.  These substances were once used effectively, but are now commonly included as separate tests on most urine drug tests.  Products To Avoid: Mary Jane Super Clean 13 (liquid soap), Urinaid (glutaraldehyde), THC Free (acid), Klear (nitrite), Urine Luck (pyridinium chlorochromate), TestKlear, Golden Seal, Terminator Gold, Stealth & Clean-X. These products are all detectable, and will result often in a failed drug test.
4. Goldseal - Goldenseal was never really effective for helping anyone pass a urine drug test.  No one knows where this urban legend started.  The science just does not support this one in any way.
5. Taking Aspirin - High dosages of Aspirin taken before your test sometimes covers THC by creating a false negative. THIS IS ONLY UNDER IDEAL CIRCUMSTANCES, only for the dip test and not for the more comprehensive laboratory tests.
6. Adding Bleach - Bleach is another adulterant that routinely used to beat a urine drug test.  Bleach will change the pH to the point you should be dead and bleach can easily be smelled.  Drinking bleach will blind you and maybe even kill you.  There is no reason to have bleach (chlorine) in you urine other than trying to beat a drug test. 
7. Niacin - This myth seems to have started as a result of a book written in the ’70s by L. Ron Hubbard, called ‘Clear Body, Clear Mind’.  In his book, Hubbard (who didn’t have any medical or nutritional training) laid out a detoxification program that he claimed would help people get rid of all the toxins in their bodies, including prescription and non-prescription drugs and pesticides. Niacin was one of the things he recommended. At some point in time, someone probably just thought Niacin = Detox = Pass Your Drug Test and the legend began.
8. Drinking Lots Of Water -  No doubt you’ve heard about dilution for passing a urine drug test.  It is true that it will help remove metabolites from your blood for a short period of time, but drinking lots od water will not remove the metabolites from your fat.  Over time your blood will become recontaminated from the metabolites in your fat.  By overloading your kidneys with water in a short time frame, you dilute your urine to the point where there aren’t enough metabolites to register on a drug test.  This also flushes key natural ingredients from your system that are typically checked for in a urine drug test.  Visually your urine should not be either clear, not be of a strong or unusual color, nor have any off odors. These markers are obvious to the trained individual.   If they see any of these markers they will surely be suspicious and will probably add tests, reject your sample or find some way to flunk you.
9. Eating Fruits, Drinking Caffeine, Or Use Other Diuretics by themselves are useless for passing a drug test.  They are just not strong enough to do the job.
10. Cranberry Juice -- Cranberry is a mild diuretic.  Somehow it’s reached a legendary status, but there’s nothing magical about cranberry juice.  It is just another urban legend.
11. Vinegar. The only thing vinegar does is change the PH of your urine. No one is sure how this one got started. It’s one more home remedy that’s totally useless for passing a drug test.   Also, vinegar can decrease the pH of the urine and increasing its acidity.  This might accelerate the excretion of amphetamine metabolites from the fat cells in your body.
12. Exercise. The aim for exercising is to reduce weight to decrease the stored fats in the body. Drug metabolites are stored in the fat cells and reducing weight will decrease the amount of fats stored in the body significantly.  Losing weight (real weight, not just water weight from taking diuretics) helps you cut down on the amount of metabolites your body stores at any given time. The problem with this is that it takes a long time. The best way to use exercise in order to pass a drug test is to maintain a regular work out to reduce weight.
13. Secondhand Smoke: Will you fail?  Absolutely - Well Maybe - Absolutely not. The cut off levels for drug detection are said to be set high enough not to cause a failure for second hand smoke. Will you pass?  It depends on how long and what concentration of smoke is in the environment at the time the subject is exposed. The jury on this on this our so the best advice is don't risk.
