THC drug testing in the workplace

 


People often ask me what they can take to pass a THC test by emptying their THC receptors before the dreaded drug test. Back in the 90’s in Port Elizabeth we had a Rastafari Shaman named “Doctor Dave”. He had a brilliant technique to down regulate THC receptors and reduce the THC level in fat cells in the body. Sadly he was hit by a bus and passed away and ii was never able to get his method and ii have never met another healer with this ability. For sure it seems that there are very few ways to pass a surprise THC test but some people are convinced that they have the perfect remedy.

First of all ii would like to voice my stance on this topic. Personally ii feel that this whole random or routine drug testing at the place of work where you survive….ii am convinced that this is one of the unseen brutalities of governments that enables them to monitor people who use ganja for personal reasons. In my opinion these laws completely violate any human rights reasoning including the International Human Rights Commission.

They pretend that they do not understand the functioning of the Endocannabinoid system (ECS) and this facilitates them to continue shouting “More research….there isn’t enough science yet….” This is why it’s so important for people to do their own research and realize that they can heal themselves from any medical condition whether mental, physical or spiritual.  

These inhumane laws need to be changed to align with current labor law as it pertains to substances like alcohol and cocaine for example, for appropriate occupations such operating heavy machinery. It is unforgivable to penalize ordinary citizens for firstly being employed, and secondly for exercising their natural God-given right to supplement their health, no matter who their gods might be. And on this subject millions of sovereign citizens are persecuted for using Cannabis as a sacrament, for example Rastafari and Hindu people.

The next law that must be changed urgently are the laws that control the legal category of Cannabis and specifically THC. The entire plant must be removed from the legal system and must be free! Free like tomatoes!

The time that THC stays in the human system varies from person to person

We must realize that there are 8 billion different Endocannabinoid systems in the human species. Yes, each one is as unique as the fingerprint and the iris of the eye. So THC duration varies and everyone is different.

Testing positive for THC in a drug test depends on a few factors. Most important is the level of THC in the plant. We must also realize that today’s ganja is much much strong than back in the 1960’s. Back then 6% THC was considered high and they used this in their propaganda programs like “Reefer Madness” making people believe that they could go insane from using Cannabis. Today we are looking 20 to 30% and there are even “Over 90’s clubs” for super potent THC medicine. It is very important to respect the herb because Cannabis is a medicine not a party drug!

Each person’s metabolism is also unique and frequency of use and hydration are also important things to consider along with age and body mass.

In general THC stays in the system for at least 28 days regardless of the person’s tolerance


The reason why alcohol, cocaine and other party drugs don’t stay in the system long is simply because they are not supposed to be there and the body works effectively to get rid of these substances but eventually the body will take strain and deteriorate. Heroine for example can only be detected up to an hour after use. Even over the counter anti-inflammatory pills like Ibuprofen, those pink little tabs people take for pain and inflammation can manifest a positive THC metabolite reading in urine. And there is real scientific evidence that in some people CBD (Cannabidiol) can convert to THC in the gastric acid. This is a concern for employees who think that they are taking CBD safely and legally.

 

THC on the other hand, is the main activator of the human ECS and is most certainly designed to be in our bodies. This is why the body has always produced a human version of THC. This endocannabinoid is known as Anandamide and this means ‘bliss” in Sanskrit. 

 

People have been asking me for decades why ii think THC is illegal and ii always say that it’s because it is illegal to be happy! The fact that the Irish scientist who got to name the human version of THC and christened this vital molecule as “Ananadamide” is proof of my lifelong way of thinking about so-called legalization.

 

Other important things to remember is that THC can be detected in your hair for up to 90 days and anywhere up to and even beyond a month in a urine test. Again this is also only in general, that THC will remain in your blood for at least 36 hours. And don’t think that you have the advantage of being bald or even trying to shave! Word has it that a lot of employers with zero-tolerance even think about taking your hair from your armpits or groin.

 

The test ii like the most is the oral saliva test because THC only stays in the saliva for 48 hours

 

The saliva or mouth-swob test seems the easiest to manipulate if you study the way drugs show up in saliva. Using peroxide mouth wash and brushing your tounge profusely you might be able to reduce your THC levels in saliva. Especially, if you into dabs because surely concentrates can accumulate in the mouth. These tests can detect THC within 5 minutes of use and random roadside oral tests can detect THC up to 12 hours after use. In my opinion you should rather observe the 48 hour window period.



But ii still very strongly feel that ordinary citizens should not be forced to take THC tests, especially in South Africa, where it is perfectly legal to consume as much Cannabis as we like in the privacy of our homes. This idea of giving laws with one hand and taking away our rights with new laws is now unfashionable and frankly unacceptable in terms of human rights.

 

So how can you naturally protect yourself from unfair drug testing at work?

 

It all depends on how much time you have before the next test and what type of test you are expecting. Everyone has their own theory as to what works for them. From charcoal, creatine, vitamin B complex, detox drinks, to extreme hydration methods that could end up damaging your kidneys. Dilution seems to be the most common but truly the least effective. Seldom do ii hear of this method working with urine tests.

 

Many people have wild stories of what their special detox program is and how many times you need to pee 2 hours before the test. Tried and tested so many of these remedies. Some people say you have to sweat it out! Well ii am not too sure about this because exercise will surely bring the THC out of the cells (fat cells) and back into the blood and into the urine so ii would be careful of that.

 

Today there’s a huge market for ‘fake urine” products that apparently contain all the right pee-chemicals including albumen and at the precise specific gravity testing. Some even come with the required hosepipe to fill the specimen cup without anyone noticing.

 

In my opinion using zinc-sulphate and Cranberry with Citra Soda can offer the best solutions. In natural medicine we do use pure cranberry juice as a detox and ii have heard of people successfully passing a THC test in this way. Of course each person is different. Some people also swear by green tea but you will really have to drink a LOT of green tea to pass a drug test. There are a number of scientific studies confirming that zinc can lower THC metabolites in urine.

 

We cannot continue to blame the pungent aroma of ganja or our natural biological system that demands cannabinoids especially THC for getting into trouble with the authorities and employers. But neither can they use these two organically natural factors to persecute people who use Cannabis either medicinally or recreationally, it matters not because all Cannabis use is medicinal whether the person realizes this or not.


We have to step up the pressure to take back this plant that is rightfully ours for our survival. No other plant can claim to heal 700 known medical conditions and no other plant that is registered, controlled and researched as an illicit drug can claim to never ever have killed a single human being…ever! No other plant is truly worthy to be referred to as the human companion plant.

 

I will really love to hear from you what your most effective THC detox remedy is!
