4 Surefire ways to pass a military drug test

Illegal drug abuse in the military is severe misconduct. All branches of defense have a zero-tolerance approach to drug use and involvement in a drug offense.

Any form of participation in a drug-related offense attracts severe punishment, including prosecution in a court-martial and even tossed out of the army.

The principle drug abuse is incompatible with military service makes the process of drug testing a very serious, well-documented affair with very accurate results and dire consequences in case you piss hot.

To a service member, this means one thing; whatever you do, NEVER FAIL A URINALYSIS.

Below I will describe how to pass a military drug test with flying colors.

How to pass a drug test

There are 4 methods to pass the test. I’ll give you step-by-step instructions for each method.

I will be talking about marijuana, but the methods work for other drugs too.

1. Natural detoxification – this method is the best option if you have at least 1 week before your drug test. It will remove all the marijuana metabolites from your system.
2. Cleansing \ flushing – use this method if you don’t have enough time to detox or you just don’t want to quit marijuana. This method works very fast, and it will clean your urine for up to 5 hours. So you’ll have enough time to pass your drug test.
3. Synthetic urine – use this method as a last option. It is effective but risky and not legal.

Now let’s get to the instructions:

How to get marijuana out of your system completely

THC, the detectable component of marijuana, is highly lipophilic and, therefore, most of it is stored in your body fat. To remove THC from your system, you need to:

• Burn body fat and release THC into the blood
• Increase the metabolism of THC in the liver
• Prevent THC from reabsorption back into the blood.

For this method, you’ll need at least 7 days. It may require more if you smoked regularly.

Here’s what you need to do:

• Follow a healthy diet to increase the fat breakdown.
• Exercise at least 30 minutes daily. For example, walking, running, or weight lifting – you can choose any exercise that fits your condition.
• Take activated charcoal 30 minutes before each meal.
• Take st. Johns Wort daily according to the manufacturer’s directions.
• On the last two days before the drug test, you need to change the routine.
• If there’s still any THC in your body, you don’t want it to be excreted into the urine. So at this point, you need to stop the breakdown of body fat and prevent the excretion of THC.

Instructions for the last 2 days

• Add a reasonable amount of carbohydrates to your diet. For example, you can drink a couple of cola glasses daily or eat some pasta or a couple of pieces of pizza.
• Drink a couple of glasses of grapefruit juice daily.
• Take activated charcoal three times per day. Thirty minutes before a meal.
• Take milk thistle according to the directions of the manufacturer.

Cleansing \ Flushing

This method is a lot cheaper than trying to smuggle some synthetic urine into the collection facility. It is also practically ‘legal’ since it involves drinking a lot of liquid (mostly water) to lower the concentration of drug metabolites in the urine below the cutoff level.

It’s also not the easiest, though. Although it works, successful flushing requires thorough preparation, and the method is complicated.

Taking a large amount of water lowers the concentration of the drug metabolites and interferes with other vital components of urine, including the color, specific gravity, and creatinine level.

If you are ready to go this route, this is how to dilute your urine successfully for a drug test.

What you’ll need

• THC test strips
• Electrolyte powder
• Creatinine supplement
• Creatinine test strips
• Vitamin B2 pill
• Time- at least 6 hours

What to do

• Mix the electrolyte supplement with water to make a solution. Drink this solution at the rate of 4ml for every pound of your LBM every hour for 3 hours
• Analyze the results by testing a sample of the urine for THC metabolites, creatinine level, and specific gravity
• Take the necessary step.

If the THC metabolites are below 50ng/ml and the creatinine level is above 20ng/ml, use the same regimen in the hours leading to the test.

If THC metabolites’ level is higher than 50ng/ml and the creatinine level is above 20ng/ml, increase the intake of water to lower the concentration of THC. Ensure that you don’t lower the creatinine level to undesired levels though

If THC metabolites’ level is higher than 50ng/ml and that of creatinine is below 20ng/ml, this is bad news as there’s no way you can take more water to lower the concentration of the metabolites without diluting creatinine even further.

In that case, you might want to think of a way to reschedule the test to another date as you fix your low creatinine level issues. Possible remedies include taking creatinine supplements, jogging, and cycling.

• Once you’ve figured out the rate that works for you, use it 3 hours to the test
• Piss as many times as possible
• 1 hour before the test, take a Vitamin B2 pill to give your urine its normal color

Synthetic urine

This method’s key advantage is that the fake pee looks like real pee in all the aspects that matter to the lab guys, including color, smell, and other critical components such as pH, creatinine level, and specific gravity.

The only thing that you are left to deal with is the temperature.

Is this method as simple as it seems? No! This method turns out to be the hardest. DoD labs now use advanced technologies that can easily detect fake pee.

Getting the synthetic urine into the collection point is a real pain in the ass in the first place, more so in the military. And even if you managed to, there’s usually an observer to witness as you urinate into the collection bottle. Moreover, it’s usually tough to keep the temperature within the required range.

How to use synthetic urine

Cheating a urine test using this method begins with getting fake pee from a trustworthy dealer. You need to ensure that the synthetic urine imitates real pee in all aspects.

You need a plastic bottle, temperature test strips, and a heating pad in addition to the synthetic urine. You might also want a prosthetic penis or a urine belt with a storage tube to help you get the urine inside the collection facility.

Steps

• Heat the synthetic urine in a microwave for around 10 seconds.
• Immediately wrap the bottle in a heating pad to prevent it from losing a lot of heat as you head to the collection point (you want it to be within the 90F-100F range)
• Take the shortest time possible to pour the urine into the collection cup and hand it over.

Activated Charcoal

A lot of research studies include this one, which proves that activated charcoal does help in the removal of THC from the body. How it works is interesting.

When you activate and consume cannabis, for instance, through smoking, THC penetrates your blood system in seconds. With every pump of your heart, some amount of THC is pumped into the liver, where metabolism takes place.

THC is converted into 11-OH-THC and then to THC-COO-glucuronide in the liver, which makes it ready for elimination.

Not all THC-COO-glucuronide metabolites are sent to the kidneys for removal through urine, though. Some of these metabolites are also sent into your GI tract through bile. In the GI tract, these metabolites are considerably large and polar and, therefore, perfect for removal through feces since they can’t be reabsorbed through the stomach walls.

Unfortunately, certain enzymes produced by some bacteria in your gut strip the TH-COO-glucuronide metabolites of their glucuronide molecules, thereby converting them back into THC-COOH, which is small enough to penetrate the walls of the GI tract into the blood system again, where the entire process repeats itself. This process is known as Enterohepatic Recirculation.

So, where does Activated charcoal come in?

When you ingest Activated charcoal, it binds with most THC metabolites in the GI tract for removal through feces.

The only drawback to this method is that it takes some time (up to a week or even 2).

How to use Activated Charcoal to pass a test

• You’ll need
• Activated Charcoal pills
• Urine test strips

How to

• Abstain from drugs
• Take 10g of activated charcoal 1-2 hours before each meal.
• Repeat this for two days. Take foods rich in fiber for the rest of the week.
• Keep testing the THC metabolites in urine to determine whether you are on track.
• On the day of the test, continue with the activated charcoal regimen to trap as many metabolites in the stomach as possible.

Types of drug tests done in the military

There are several types of drug tests that the military uses to monitor and test its members for illegal drug use. The kind of method determines how the results can be used after that.

Random testing

A random urine drug test is just how it sounds random. This means that it can be done at any time and on anyone.

The commander may choose to have the test done company-wide or on a selected sample. Refusal to provide a urinalysis sample can land you in problems in the military.

However, the commander is under obligation to ensure that the ‘sample’ was selected in a truly random manner, that is, without targeting specific individuals.

Random testing is regularly done in the army, and up to 60,000 random tests can be done in a single month. This is often enough to ensure that practically all the service members will have been tested at least once every year.

The results of random testing can be used in Article 15s and court-martials. They can also be used to determine the type of discharge that the members receive and later listed in their DD-214 Military Discharge Paperwork, including general, honorable, and other-than-honorable.

Medical testing

This is a medical test that a member undertakes regarding complying with the stipulated medical requirements and may include a urine analysis for illegal and controlled drugs.

These tests are also mandatory for recruits, and they determine whether or not they are eligible for enlistment in the military.

Similar to random testing, a service member cannot refuse medical testing. Also, the results can be used in a court-martial, Article 15s, and for involuntary discharges.

Probable cause testing

A likely cause testing can be accomplished when a military commander suspects that military personnel is under the influence of drugs.

In that case, however, the commander first requests the installation commander to grant him/her a search authorization.

With a search warrant, the suspect cannot refuse to give a urine sample, and again, the results can be used in Article 15s, involuntary discharges, as well as in a court-martial.

Consent testing

Military personnel may be asked to grant consent to search even if the commander does not have probable cause. This is a warrantless search that the service member can either accept or refuse. If you grant consent to search, the results can be used in a court-martial, Article 15s, and involuntary discharges.

Commander-directed testing

If the commander lacks enough evidence to necessitate a search authorization and the service member won’t grant consent to search, he/she can still go ahead and command the member to give a urine sample for urinalysis.

However, unlike other tests, the results from a commander-directed test cannot be used to prosecute the member in a court-martial. Neither can it be used for non-judicial punishment purposes (Article 15s).

Also, while the results can be used to warrant an involuntary discharge, the urinalysis results cannot be used to determine the type of discharge.

Types of drugs used and tested in the military and their cutoff levels

The drugs and substances abused in the military can be classified as 2; illegal and controlled. Illegal drugs refer to drugs whose use, manufacture, or possession is prohibited.

On the other hand, a controlled substance, for instance, Marijuana, refers to drugs whose use, manufacture, and distribution are regulated by the Drug Enhancement Administration.

Controlled substances are not practically illegal, but they become so if not used without a prescription.

Drug testing in the military is a 3-level process:

• Immunoassay screening using the Olympus AU-800 Automated Chemistry Analyzer. You are considered clean if the results are negative at this point.
• Second screening – if you test positive with the initial testing, you are tested once again using the same screen.
• Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry test- If you test positive once again with the second screening, you are put through the thorough GCMS test to eliminate any chances of false positive.

To that end, here are the drugs that DoD labs are equipped to test and their cutoff levels;

Drug	1st and 2nd Screening Level Ng/ml	GC/MS Confirmatory Test Ng/ml
THC	50	15
Cocaine	150	100
Heroin	10	10
Meth	500	100
Hydrocodone	300	100
Oxymorphone	300	100
PCP	25	25
LSD	0.5	0.2
