SEVERAL STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO HELP YOURSELF PASS A DRUG TEST
- Urine
Sample donors should never use urine that first comes out of the body. Wait
until you are half way done urinating.
- Avoid
recreational and all unnecessary medical drugs for 48 hours prior to testing.
- Drink
48 ounces of water per day several days before taking drug test. Water is
natures most trusted cleansing agent.
- Using
dry sauna heat & exercising assist the body in detoxification of THC, but
be sure to drink plenty of water.
- Avoid
exercising for two days before testing, due to the fact that working out
increases the amount of THC in urine. Reason being that THC is fat-soluble and
resides in fat cells, exercise will burn the fat cells and release even more
THC as by product of a natural detoxification process that occurs through exercise
