Many weed users do not know if it is fact or fiction that ‘they can beat a drug test with home remedies ’ in 2020.
This has been the most popularly debated topic on many blogs and forums over the last few decades. Marijuana users love sharing their special “miracle” remedies on the Web.
Many users swear that they have passed their urine drug test using their own home concocted recopies.
I have decided to look closer to some of these home remedies in order to determine if there are any logical explanations as to why people still believe their home remedies may help them pass a urine drug test.
Following is a list of the most popular home remedies we examined:
Water.
One of the most popular discussed remedies is water. This is demonstrated by the fact that user continually ask ‘how much water should I drink in order to pass my drug test.
Water plays one of the most important roles during the detoxification process by helping to flush THC from the body.
However, is it enough only to drink water? It is used to be one of the most effective ways of passing a urine drug test 25 years ago.
Time flies, but legends are still live on. Since the early days, drug testing labs have become aware of the most used methods marijuana lovers use to pass their tests. As a result, lab testing methods have completely changed.
Labs can now easily see if marijuana user tries to dilute their urine by drinking lots and lots of water.
So, the answer to the question if drinking water alone is sufficient to pass your drug test is a resounding ‘NO’.
It is not enough to only drink water in order to pass a urine drug test!
Baking Soda.
Another popular home remedy is baking soda. We assume people still consider it as one of the most helpful remedies because of its strong cleansing properties.
Baking soda appears to be very effective in cleaning your colon system. We have seen several detailed YouTube videos of weed users using baking soda.
Their recipe is to take 3 table spoons of baking soda mixed with 16 ounces of water. However, users often experience strong gasses, stomach pain, heartburn and up to 3 hours of consistent diarrhea. It’s the real shits. It looks (and smells) like a very unpleasant cleansing process. However, the outcome of this treatment is still failing a drug test.
So, we suggest using baking soda for baking cookies rather than trying to pass a urine drug test.
Cranberry Juice.
Cranberry juice popularity among marijuana users is based on its diuretics ability. It is used as natural remedy that helps to prevent urinary tract infection and kidney stones formation.
Diuretic will make you urinate a lot. So, you have to drink a lot of water as well. However, doing this over and over will result in the unwelcome result of having over diluted urine resulting in a failed drug test.
Bleach and Vinegar.
These household chemicals like bleach and cooking supplies like vinegar used to be more popular in the olden days. Their use covered THC in their urine. However, since labs learned to detect these substances by measuri
ng the urine PH level, their use became less popular.
We suggest to be smart and not to damage your digestive system by taking these remedies.
They will not help you to pass a drug test in today’s world!
Goldenseal.
We have not seen too many discussions regarding the use of goldeanseal. Users have become aware that even though goldenseal has a laxative effect, it does not help detoxing body from THC.
Moreover, drug test labs started performing tests for this herb, which is easily detectable.
Niacin.
Using Niacin (vitamin B3) legend is based on its effect on the body’s fatty tissues. In reality, if you want to achieve a significant impact on your fatty tissues, you need to take hundreds of niacin pills.
Well, if you do this, you will not need to worry about passing the drug test; because, most likely you will find yourself at the emergency room fighting for your life.
So, we suggest not playing with these pills.
Creatine.
Creatine is another of the supplements used by marijuana users during the urine dilution process. Dilution of the urine changes the natural creatine level in the body.
Labs measure the body’s creatine level and easily detect an abnormality. It is like a game of hide and seek with the lab. The labs have all tools to catch you out.
The question is’ what are your chances of outsmarting the lab?’
B12.
Vitamin B12 is used by marijuana users to add color to urine during the dilution process. The usual recommendation is to take 5 pills. One of the initial drug test labs use is a visual color test. If the urine color is too light, you automatically fail the test.
Certo.
Certo (gelatin) has been the MOST popular “miracle” home remedy recommended on-line during the past 5 years.
One of the recipes for use of certo is the following:
“Take one packet of Certo and mix it with a one bottle of Gatorade. You can buy Certo in any grocery stores in the baking supplies section. Drink the mix 2 hours before your drug test followed by gallon of water. Then urinate 2-3 times and go to take your test.”
It looks like a pretty simple and promising remedy.
I have read many happy stories passing a urine drug test. And we have read just as many unhappy stories about users failing their drug test.
Few pay attention to the fact that most of the people who claim passing their test refrained from smoking marijuana for 7-10 days before their test, and these were not heavy smokers.
The bottom line is that statistics show that certo helps around 20 % of weed users to pass their test.
So, the remaining 80% carry the false hope that certo will prove to be a “miracle” remedy. People fall for this and, as a result, fail the drug test
If you have your own lab test equipment at home, you can experiment with your urine dilution by measuring how much you smoked, when you smoked it, how much you weighed, how much water you need to drink, and how much creatine, B12, certo, etc. you need in order to achieve positive results.
Or, more importantly, you should look at the other proven alternative ways to pass a urine drug test.
Professional companies spend millions of dollars to create reliable detox marijuana products.
Such companies have been in business for years because they actually provide positive results for passing a drug test.
You should carefully check what products to use by reading numerous reviews and recommendations.

Does Certo work for masking meth too or is it only known to work for THC?
DetoxJohn says
Anjanette..In general, we do not consider the certo method very reliable in passing a urine drug test for any drug. For example, statistics show that certo helps around 20 % of weed users to pass their test.
The detection period for a methamphetamine urine drug test is 3 to 5 days. So, if you abstain from using meth for the 5 days, you can pass the urine drug test without any products or home remedies.

Hello Gabethea… To increase your best odds at passing saliva drug test, you need to abstain from marijuana, brush your teeth and gums thoroughly and use a mouthwash like Listerine or 3% hydrogen peroxide several times in order to get rid of any trace of used substances.

John says
I have a urine test for my Dr. Coming up 10/3/16
They do not send them to the lab but rather use the cheap $20 drug test kits from Meijer. It will be for THC only & I really need to pass as I need my meds. It is not really a “fast” detox as I have had 67days to prepare by the time of the test. But after going 42days completely THC free I stupidly took 2.5-3 hits of powder resin scraped from a bowl. So now by the time I take the test I will be 26days THC free & only those 2-3 hits in the last 67days. Prior to that I smoked regular about 3-4 grams per week. I am 35 yr old male 5’8″ tall 155lbs and always moving, my job and lifestyle keep me quite active & I have a rather high metabolism. I think given the amount of time I have not smoked & the little I did in 67days I should be close to clean almost naturally! But I am still worried as My Dr. & anxiety meds are on the line. Should I be worried ? It seems 3hits 26days prior isn’t much & 3hits in 67days total makes my chances even better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I just don’t think I need to spend that kind of money on a rapid detox when I have smoked so little over a long period! My income is already stretched to the max. Thanks in advance!
DetoxJohn says
John..Considering your smoking history, BIO and active life style, you should be pretty close to being clean. However, some extreme heavy users can test positive for THC for up to 90 days.
Even though your budget is tight now, it is important to check your THC levels with a home urine drug test now and before your actual drug test. You can buy these tests at any local drug store.
If you still test positive and as you still have time until your test, you can keep detoxing your body naturally. You can speed the natural cleansing process through low to moderate aerobic exercises along with drinking plenty of water, spending some time in a sauna and a healthy diet. You should cease all exercises and sauna usage at least 24 hours before your test.
The day before your actual drug test, you should check your THC levels again. If you still test positive, you can at least try using home remedies like certro and B12 for color.
Hope this helps.

Forever says
I’m a 40 year old woman weight 115 5’6 haven’t smoked in 7days have ya test in Tuesday what is best for me to use
DetoxJohn says
Forever..It is tough to recommend the best approach in your case without knowing your smoking history during the last 3 months.
I would recommend getting a home urine drug test at any local drug store and check your THC levels tomorrow. This will show where you stand now.
If you still test positive and it is a supervised test, I would recommend trying to reschedule your drug test. It will give you the opportunity to have more time to detox naturally and use a whole body detox program.
If you cannot reschedule, you might try using home remedies like certo and B12 (for color). This approach does not increase your chances of passing the urine drug test significantly. But it will be your best shot for your situation. If the test is unsupervised, we have seen that some users try using synthetic urine.
Hope this helps.

Tippy says
I am 252lbs have stopped smoking weed for the last 17 days , I was a heavy user. I have a urine test in 12 days. I have been drinking green tea and eating healthy along with saunas and exercising, I have some home tests and all have been positive. What can I do to get a negative test?
DetoxJohn says
Tippy..17 days of abstaining is a good start. However, we have seen that many heavy users without using a whole body detox approach were tested positive for THC from 45 up to 90 days.
How long it will take for you to become clean will depend on your efforts and other factors such as your last 3-6 months smoking history, your BIO, life style, etc. So, it is tough to predict if you will become clean in 12 days.
We usually recommend that heavy users complete at least a 10 day whole body detox program if they are serious about detoxing. Using the whole body detox program should be combined with the natural THC cleansing process through low to moderate aerobic exercises along with drinking plenty of water, spending some time in a sauna and a healthy diet.
You should cease all exercises and sauna usage at least 24 hours before your test. This insures that you do not release any residual THC into your system that could be concentrated enough to put you over the cut off levels.
This will not be easy because you are carrying extra pounds and THC metabolites are stored in the fatty tissues of our body. How successful the whole body detox approach works in your case will be depend on how seriously you follow the detoxing approach and how hard you work in order to archive your goal.
I always recommend checking your THC levels with a home urine drug test after completing a whole body detox program. If you still test positive, you might try to reschedule your test. This will give you more time to get clean. You can try it naturally if you have time or you can get the several days of a whole body detox program.
If you cannot reschedule, in order to drop your THC levels below the cutoff level, your best option will be using Mega Clean dilution drink.
In one hour after taking Mega Clean, you should check your THC levels again with the home urine drug test, before your actual test. This will show if you can pass it or not.
If you have any more questions, let me know.

kyle breakall says
Hi,
I have not smoked in 33 days. Prior to that I smoked daily for several months. I am 5’10” 185 and am fairly active, I assume my metabalism is above average because I do not have much body fat. I have a drug test on friday. What are the odds of me passing?
Thank you
DetoxJohn says
Kyle..As you do not have much body fat you should be close to becoming clean by now. I would recommend checking your THC levels with a home urine drug test today and go from there.
If you still test positive, you might try using on the day of your actual drug test, Mega Clean dilution product or home remedies like certo and B12 (for color).
Don’t forget to test yourself again after taking Mega Clean or home remedies. This will show if you can pass your test or not.
Hope this helps.

Beejay says
Hello I smoke 2 to 4 times a day sometime just only 2 times a day am I consider to be a heavy smoker and I have a drug test in a week which detox will best be for me
DetoxJohn says
Beejay..You would be classified as an extreme heavy user which usually tests positive for THC from 45 up to 90 days.
Unfortunately, I am afraid that none of the whole body detox programs can help to detox your body in time before your urine drug test next week. If you had at least 20 days, your chances of detoxing would be much higher.
We have seen that in cases like yours when heavy users run out of time, they try using synthetic urine if the urine drug test is unsupervised.
If possible postpone your test and start a 10 day body detox program.
Get back to me if you have more questions.

DetoxJohn says
Amoo..You are one of a few cases that we have seen that users can test positive for THC for such a long period of time. And unfortunately it is reality.
If you would like to significantly speed up the natural detoxification process, we always recommend considering completing a whole body detox program combined with low to moderate aerobic exercises along with drinking plenty of water, spending some time in a sauna and a healthy diet.

Simone says
Hi im from the U.K. And I have a urine test Monday, I last smoked January 27th then had 2 puffs 4th Feb haven’t smoked since. I’ve taken drug tests at home but the lines have been faint but it’s negative. I’m 5’6 and about 132lbs
Is there anything I can do justto flush it out faster
DetoxJohn says
Simone..If you did not smoke much in December and January and had 2 puffs in February, you should already be clean from THC by now. And your home urine drug test proves it. Even faint line means your THC levels are below the cutoff levels.
As you pass your home urine drug test, you do not need to use any detox/dilution products.
I would recommend checking your THC levels again before your actual drug test in order to make sure you have consistent results.
Good luck with your test on Monday and let me know how you did.

Free2bme46..For heavy users we usually recommend at least a 10 day whole body detox program combined with low to moderate aerobic exercises along with drinking plenty of water, spending some time in a sauna and a healthy diet.
You can read more details in our review here.
However, as you have a pretty serious health issue, it is highly advisable to consult either your primary doctor or Testclear’s customer service before purchasing the detox program.

George says
I’ve smoked twice in the last two months , it was 3 joints , in total and I smoked 2 blunts last night , I am overweight what should , I do ? I’m a female , 18 and 5’3.
DetoxJohn says
George..After smoking one time you might test positive up to 5 or 6 days in your case.
If you are facing a urine drug test before you detox naturally, on your actual drug test date you might try using a dilution drink like XXTRA Clean/Mega Clean. This might help to drop your THC levels below cutoff levels.
Do not forget to check where you stand with a home urine drug test in one hour after taking XXTRA Clean or Mega Clean. This will show if you can pass it or not.
If you need more help, let me know.

Hi, I only smoke every now and then. But in the past 3 months I’ve hit a joint maybe 10 times and this past week I hit a bowl 3 to 6 times.. I’m 5’5″ and weigh 128 lbs.. How long will it take for me to be clean to take a drug test .. I have to take one within 7 days ! Should I use a detox other than just drinking water.? I’m active but due to my physical injuries, I’m not able to be active all the time. Please help ?
DetoxJohn says
LA..After abstaining for 7 days your THC levels should have dropped significantly. But I am afraid that they might still exceed the cutoff levels.
I would say you might test positive for THC for up to 10-12 days. If you have time you might consider completing a 4-5 day whole body detox program or using a dilution drink like Mega Clean on the day of your test.
Don’t forget to check where you stand with a home urine drug test before you go to your actual drug test. This will show if you can pass it or not.

Philip says
Hello, I use to be a heavy smoker (once every two days) about three months ago. Next month, I cut down to twice a week. Last month I cut down to once a week. The last time I smoked was Friday, July 7th and then again Saturday, July 8th. I am 6’1″, 170 lbs. less than 5% body fat. I swim 2 hours daily at maximum intensity. I have a urine test on the 24th of July (12 days from now, making it a total of 16 days without smoking). I sweat a lot, even when I play video games… My metabolism is very quick, my breakfast usually ‘comes out’ before the day ends.
Am I in the clear for my drug test?
Bonus question: can I smoke with my girlfriend today and still be in the clear for my drug test? Thank you.
DetoxJohn says
Philip..If you became clean before 7th of July (tested negative on a home urine drug test), your THC levels should drop below cutoff levels within 4-6 days after your last use.
I would recommend checking where you stand with a home urine drug test in 6 days. And if you would like to increase your chances of passing the urine drug test on the 24th of July, abstaining from marijuana would be the best approach.
Hope this answers your questions.

I’m a heavy marijuana smoker and I’m getting drug tested soon, I believe in about 1 or 2 weeks. I been smoking marijuana for the past year every day, and I’m wondering if a detox drink like mega clean would help me with my drug test, I’m 5’3 and I weigh about 100 pounds. How long would it take my body to completely detoxify?
DetoxJohn says
Derek..I would say that you might test positive for THC from 30 up to 60 days.
I don’t think that Mega Clean will help to drop your THC levels below cutoff levels in 1-2 weeks as your THC levels are very high at the moment and will not drop significantly soon enough.
In cases like yours we usually recommend completing at least a 10 day detox program combined with exercising, visiting sauna and eating healthy foods. Please read more details about the program here.
Mega Clean might be helpful if after completing a 10 day detox program you still test positive and need some help to drop your THC levels below cutoff levels.

Mary says
Hey there,
I am 5,2 – 140lbs. I have been an everyday user for about 5 years.
I stopped smoking on July 2nd and did not pass an at home (50nmg) test until 42 days later. During those 42 days I used two 7 day detox kits, drank up to 6 liters of water a day and exercised regularly.
Since passing the test at home I regrettably smoked for 6 days straight. 3 joints total, smoking a few puffs of the joint each night before bed.
I have not smoked in 3 days and my test will be within the next two weeks.
How large of an impact will those 3 joints have after being clean?
Should I use a detox kit or will I be clean again next week?
DetoxJohn says
Mary..I think you can detox naturally within 10 days. I would recommend checking your THC levels in 5 days and go from there.
Your story will help heavy users to understand that there is hope of getting cleaned up. But it will take some time, and plenty of effort on their part to get there. Thanks for sharing it with me.

Ty..I am afraid that there is a pretty good chance that you will still test positive for THC in 5-6 days. Drinking a lot of water and using the Certo method might increase your chances of passing by 20%.
I would recommend checking your THC levels with a home urine drug test tonight and go from there.
If you still test positive, you might try rescheduling your test for some time if you can. This will give you more time to detox naturally or with the help of a whole body detox program. Please read more details about the detox program here.

I was in a house with a weed smoker and I took 2 small puffs I smoke weed very rarely. I weigh about 89-91 pounds I am fairly active and clean a lot. I drank at 3 bottles of water and 3 bottles of green citrus tea if I smoked on Wednesday September 6th and I take a pee test either September 7th or Monday September 11th will I pass the urine test for a job I applied for?
DetoxJohn says
Stressed and worried..You can test positive for THC up to 4-5 days since the last use. So, if you had a urine drug test on September 7th, you would still test positive for THC or you might fail the test because of an over diluted urine sample as you drank too much liquid. But in this case, you might get another chance to re-take the urine drug test.
Your chances would be much higher if you can postpone the drug test until September 11th.
I would recommend getting several urine drug tests in order to check where you stand before your actual drug test. This will show when you become clean.
Good luck with your test.

Hi, im 4’11 weight 112. I took a couple hits on Tuesday and need to test friday what can i do.
DetoxJohn says
Smallz..If this is the only time you smoked during last 3 months, in order to drop your THC levels below cutoff levels you might try using on your urine drug test day a dilution drink like Ready Clean or XXTRA Clean.
Or if you don’t have enough time to buy the dilution drink you might try using home remedies like Certo and B12 (for color) (less chances of passing the drug test though).
Don’t forget checking where you stand with a home urine drug test in one hour after drinking Ready Clean or the above mentioned home remedies. This will show if you can pass it or not.
However if you are a moderate/heavy user your chances of passing the urine drug test this Friday using any dilution drink or home remedies will be pretty low. So, you should try rescheduling the urine drug test for as long as possible and come back to me for further recommendations.

DetoxJohn says
Jon..I cannot recommend any home remedies because of your serious health issues. Besides in your case none of the home remedies or detox products will be effective enough to drop your THC levels below cutoff levels within next 14 days because of your very prolonged and heavy THC exposure.

Jenny..If you smoked 1-2 times a week or less and had an edible and candy 5 days ago, you might test positive for THC up to 5-8 days since your last use. I think you should become clean pretty soon.
I would recommend checking where you stand now with a home urine drug test and go from there.
If you still test positive on the night before your urine drug test, you might consider using on your drug test day a detox drink like Mega Clean. Please read more details about the detox drink here.
Good luck with your test and hope this helps.

Jenny says
actually I hardly smoke, It’s been about a month or so, Also l’ve been drinking cranberry juice and vitamin B 12. What do you think my chances are of having weed in my system? I smoke 11/24 & its 11/30. My drug screening is Tuesday before 12.
DetoxJohn says
Jenny..12 days of abstaining should be enough to drop your THC levels below cutoff levels.
I would recommend checking your THC levels with a home urine drug test tonight. This will show where you stand now. I think that you might have already detoxed from THC.
Good luck with your test and let me know how you did.

Daniel says
Hi I haven’t been smoking for 10 days now and have a urine test in 14 days I’m 5’9 78kg I used to be a chronic smoker but cut down the last few months and only smoke 1 week out of a month do you think I will pass
DetoxJohn says
Daniel..You have a chance to detox naturally within 24 days of abstaining.
In order to speed up your body’s natural detoxification process, I would recommend light/moderate exercise, visiting a sauna, eating healthy foods (no sugar, fats and junk food) and drinking plenty of water.
You should get several home urine drug tests. This will help you to monitor your body detox progress.
If in a couple days before your urine drug test, you still test positive, you might consider using on your drug test day a detox drink like Mega Clean. Please read more details about detox drink here.
Hope this answers your questions.

I’m 180 lbs i smoked about every day. I stopped at the end of November, so it’s been almost 2 months. I’ve taken home test and still test positive for THC, but I think my job is going to do swabs in Feb. Think I’ll be OK?
DetoxJohn says
B.belly..You shouldn’t have any problems with passing the swab test in February.
Hope this helps.

Anon anon says
Hi I’m 5,8 118-120 pounds can’t say the exact amount due to my very fast weird metabolism. I can loose a pound or 2 in 1 day by not doing much. I’ve been smoking for past couple of years on and off. And in between those years I had quit for at least 1-2 months or more. After that I smoked almost everydya but only 1-3GS a day at most. But always w people. And when I do smoke I only smoke in portions of blunt and continue that through out the day. I have stopped smoking for the past 5 days. I’ve been drinking plenty of water as well. How long would it take for me to pass a test w certo?
DetoxJohn says
Anon..I would say you might test positive from 35 up 60 days since your last use. We don’t consider the Certo method as a reliable effective method. So, I would say with the Certo method your chances of passing the urine drug test is 20 percent or less.
In cases like yours, we usually recommend completing at least a 10 day whole body detox program combined with light aerobic exercise, visiting a sauna, healthy diet and drinking plenty of water. Please read more details here.
If you need more help, let me know.

Anon says
Thank you for the reply also I have been told certo works for most people. And these are people I know as welll and some have even smoked the night/day of a test and passed some twice and for a fact they weigh more than I do. I’ve been drinking lots of water.
DetoxJohn says
Anon..If you would like to use the Certo method, I would recommend to experiment with it at home a couple days before your actual urine drug test. Using a home urine drug test after completing the Certo method will help to find out where you stand and what you should do next.
Please let us know how it went by sharing that experience with us here.
Good luck with your test.

Hi , I’m 5/1 220lbs .i smoked a joint Saturday night ..can I still pass a drug test after a week ..5-7 days after last use ..I did quit for over 6months..I’m hoping I can drink lots of water ..and pass .. ty Deb
DetoxJohn says
Debbie..You have a good chance to detox naturally after a week of abstaining. Just make sure that you are not over diluting your urine sample by drinking too much water. This might result in failing a urine drug test.
I would recommend checking where you stand with a home urine drug test on the night of your drug test. This will show where you stand and what you should do next.
Hope this helps.

I’m not a heavy smoker I have smoked only 4 times in 4 months I haven’t smoked I smoked Saturday Feb 25 like four pulls but it was some gas i have not smoked since then I have a drug test Monday what can I do I can’t afford the detox stuff so what can I do to pass
DetoxJohn says
Skykar..I think you have a good chance to detox naturally by this coming Monday.
I would recommend checking your THC levels with a home urine drug test on the night of your urine drug test. If you still test positive you might try home remedies like the Certo method and B12 (for color).
Good luck with your test.

i stopped smoking weed for about 6 months then smoked a couple of blunts for 5 days then stopped for 30days do you think i can pass a drug swab test

Hope this helps.

Kk says
Last night i was drinking and hit the bowl 3 times how can i pass for monday and today is sunday ….
DetoxJohn says
Kk..The best approach would be rescheduling your urine drug test for as long as possible. If you cannot reschedule, we have seen that some users try using synthetic urine as their emergency plan, if the urine drug test is unsupervised.
Good luck with your test.

Goth says
I need advice pls !! I smoked a month ago for like 3 days very lightly just a few hits a day. And took 5 hits this passed Monday and 3 hits on Tuesday and stopped Wednesday an today is Thursday now what can I do to get clean ?? Will I be clean by Monday?. I have been running with my jacket and a trash bag over my body to break a sweat and all I drink is water! Pls need advice ASAP
DetoxJohn says
Goth..You might test positive for THC up to 10 days since your last use. As you don’t have enough time to detox properly, on your drug test day you might consider using a detox drink like Mega Clean.
Using a home urine drug test in one hour after taking Mega Clean will show where you stand and what you should do next. We have seen that some users try using synthetic urine as their back up plan, if the urine drug test is unsupervised.
Hope this helps.

BigDummy says
I’m 5’7 260lbs,I haven’t smoked in more than a year until this past Friday night. I took two very light hits, didn’t hold in long. I may have a random test at work tomorrow morning (Monday)
What are my chances?
DetoxJohn says
BigDummy..I think your chances of passing your urine test tomorrow is about 70/30. I would recommend checking your THC levels with a home urine drug test tomorrow morning. This will show where you stand and what you should do next. If you still test positive, you might try using home remedies like Certo and B12 (for color).
Don’t forget checking where you stand with a home urine drug test in one hour after using home remedies. This will show if you can pass it or not.
Hope this helps and good luck with your test tomorrow.

Nick says
I’m 43 6′ 170 pounds workout 5 days a week and am at like 10% body fat. Been smoking almost everyday since I’m 18. Have a job coming up in like a month that are gonna test me. How long do you think it might take for this stuff to get out of my system? I stopped smoking about 4 days ago. Anything you think i can do to speed up the process? If i get a 10 day detox, does it really rid the body of thx? I believe it’s a urine test.
DetoxJohn says
Nick..In your case, you might test positive for THC from 45 up to 85 days since your last use. So, I would recommend taking the detoxing process very seriously if you would like to increase your odds of passing your urine test.
In cases like yours, we usually recommend completing at least a 10 day detox program combined with aerobic exercise, visiting a sauna and eating healthy.
If after completing a 10 day detox program you still test positive on your home urine dug test, you might need to wait a bit longer to detox naturally or complete several extra days of the detox program.
Toxin Rid is a detox program that permanently cleanses your body from THC. As soon as you start testing negative on your home urine drug test, your body will be clean from THC for good until you use marijuana again.
Hope this helps.

Wesley says
Hey so I weigh 144 pounds and smoked a moderate amount before quitting cold turkey three weeks ago and have been working out 6 days a week s well! I am 5’9,,, what are my odds?
Thanks guys
DetoxJohn says
Wesley..Your odds depend on how often you smoked marijuana as well. If you used a moderate amount every day, you might test positive for THC from 35 up 70 days since your last time of use. But if you used a moderate amount 2-3 times a week, you should have already become clean by now.
I would recommend evaluating your THC exposure and checking your THC levels with a home urine test tomorrow. This will show if you can pass your test or not.
Hope this helps,

Izzie says
Hi, I have been a heavy smoker for over 20 years, everyday, multiple times a day. I also smoke cigarettes. I found out I have a hair follicle test for an upcoming job, they are testing for 90days. I have thin hair and it’s down to the middle of my back, I am 5’1 around 135 pounds. I quit smoking on the Jan 17th starting doing the method suggested but with out the aloe rid every other day and I use the t-sal vs the clean and clear, I replace the aloe rid step with a charcoal shampoo, I am suppose to get the aloe rid shampoo today Jan 24th. And I will start cleansing with the aloe rid and ultra shampoo once it comes in the mail. Due to a time restraint with quitting one job to start the new job. I post poned the test until Feb 2nd but was thinking of possibly doing it Jan 29,30,or 31st. My current job wants me to test asap so I can give them notice. I still am working current job everyday. I just read I should wait an hour before conditioning with regular condition, which i was not doing but I will now do. After waiting the hour can I use either a charcoal shampoo or mane and tail shampoo and then conditioner? I read i should get a new brush and hair ties as well, how critical is this? I also read I should wash clothing and bedding in tide laundry soap as well. Any tips and suggestions will be helpful. How many times should I treat my hair? Do you think, testing earlier will lessen my chances of passing the test?
DetoxJohn says
Izzie..I would not recommend adding any other shampoos to the Macujo method, only the Aloe Toxin Rid shampoo should be used with the Macujo and Aloe Toxin Rid Treatment methods plus Ultra Clean shampoo on your hair drug test day.
It is essential to wait at least an hour before applying the hair conditioner as not to alter the effects. We recommend using a new brush and washing used clothing and bedding with tide detergent in order avoiding any possible hair contamination.
In your case, I would recommend cleansing your hair with the Macujo method at least 12-16 times plus using the Aloe Toxin Rid shampoo 2 times a day and Ultra Clean shampoo on your drug test day. The more time you cleanse your hair, the higher chances you will have to pass your test. And you need some time to perform so many hair cleansing methods, so I would not rush to your hair test.
Instead, after cleansing your hair multiple times, I would highly recommend using an express home hair drug test (2 business days to get back your results). This will help to find out where you stand and what you should do next.
Hope this answers your questions.

AJ says
The last time I smoked was May 26th my drug test is this Friday and it’s Wednesday morning. I have at home tests and all I’ve been drinking is water. When I take the test is a negative but the line that indicates negative is faint, there but faint, I’m considering the Certo method but my town only had the Certo liquid and I saw that you said Certo gelatin. I need some helpful advice on what is good for me to do, please.
DetoxJohn says
AJ.. If you already test negative on a home urine test (even a faint line means negative), you should have already become clean.
To be on the safe side, I would recommend checking your THC levels with a couple reliable home urine tests. You can purchase them at Walgreens or CVS drug stores. If you would like to use Certo method and cannot find Certo gelatin anywhere, you might try using Certo liquid, just do not mix it with too much Gatorade considering this is already in liquid form.
Hope this helps and good luck with your test.

JS says
I have a urine drug test for marijuana on August 19th. I quit smoking on the August 6th ~ midnight and I used the certo method with gatorade ~3 am. I stayed up, drank water and coffee(to assist in peeing) and I failed a home test at 7 am.. I am 5″3 and I weigh ~130 lbs. I am considering trying it again before my test date (without smoking again). I was a very heavy smoker. Do you think I will be successful in passing with this method of I drank water and excersize before I retry the certo method? Thanks for your assistance
DetoxJohn says
JS… I think your odds of passing your urine test with Certo method are pretty low because of your very heavy THC exposure. In your case, you might test positive for THC from 45 up to 75 days since your last time of use.
If you would like significantly increase your body detoxification process, you might consider completing at least a 10 day whole body detox program combined with light aerobic exercise, visiting a sauna, eating healthy and drinking plenty of water. Please read more details about the detox program here.

De says
I am 5’3 and weigh 100 lbs. I smoke 3 hits from a onehitter per day. (Medical marijuana)..
I stopped last Monday and need to do a drug test within 12 days.
What is your reccomendation?
Is plenty water, cider vinegar daily enough?
DetoxJohn says
De..In your case, because of your heavy THC exposure, only drinking water or using apple cider vinegar won’t be effective enough to drop your THC levels below cutoff levels. It might take from 30 up to 75 days for your body to cleanse naturally.
In order to speeding up your natural body detoxification process, I would recommend considering completing at least a 10 day detox whole body program. Please check al details here.
