How to Tell What Your Urine Drug Test is for

 Urine Drug test, What am I being tested for ?

When you look at a test form it will typically have a code and some abbreviations at top. The code may be of little use as it is only billing code. The abbreviations tell you what type panel and or number of items are being tested.   

 

The Standard for  a Urine test is a 5 panel  

 Amphetamines

Cocaine

Marijuana 

Opiates ( Natural as in Heroin, Morphine, Codeine  ) 

Phencyclidine ( pcp) 


A 4 PANEL    can be a number of things
THC (marijuana), Cocaine, Opiates, Methamphetamine 
OR  
 (AMP) Amphetamine, (BZD) Benzodiazepine, (COC) Cocaine drug test, and (THC) Marijuana
 
OR a 5 panel without THC  in places with no THC testing  like  PA , NV  

 
SO here are some examples of abbreviations on forms

2480 - 7DSP/NO THC/PHN  

This is a 7 panel  test  

DSP stands for " Drug Screen Panel"  sometimes they will say SAP and means Substance Abuse Panel  
 

NO THC is stating NO THC is being screened,  typical if you're in a legal state 

other no THC version include,  - THC or XM  (excludes marijuana ) 
 

 PHN  indicates that they will run additional test for 4-hydroxynorephedrine which is a metabolite of amphethamines and methamphetamine.  This makes clarifies results false positives with need of confirmation screens

 

5111- 9DSP/EXP OPI/NO THC,PPX/OXY/ECS/PHN   

9 Panel - AMP- Amphetamine, BAR- Barbiturates, BZO -Benzodiadepines, COC-Cocaine, THC- Marijuana,MTD- Methadone, MET-Methamphetamine, OPI-Opiates, PCP-Phencyclidine

 Extended opiate - standard opiate panel is for natural such as heron , codeine and morphine , the extended panel included synthetic and semi synthetic opioids like oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentalyne and others

  NO THC 

 PPX -( propoxyphene  Brand names: Darvon,Opioids (narcotic analgesics) , 

OXY -oxycodone, ECS ectacy, PHN amphetamine  

 

THE FOLLOWING HAVE ADD ONS AND VALIDATION TESTING

  •  

QUEST DOT TEST 

65304N - DOT DRUG PANEL W/TS

AMP / COC/ THC/ OPIATE  (natural  ) heroin morphine) / Opiate semi synthetic (hydromophone) / OXY ( oxycodone ,oxymorphon) / PCP

Sometimes they will list cutoff values for example a typical cocaine cut off is 300 this one is for 150

1373 - 9DSP/EXP OPI2000/AMP500/COC150/ECS/6 AM/PHN 

SO you have 9 panel - standard opiate ( heroin , codeine , morphine ) plus extended opiate ( (Codeine, Morphine, Oxycodone, Hydromorphone, Hydrocodone )

AMP amphetimine cut off 500 - with   PHN  a extra amphetamine screen  -  cocaine cutoff 150 ,  ectacy MDMA, 6 AM  an extra Heroin screen ,  PHN  a extra amphetamine screen 



This is a list of common abbreviations to drugs

THC Detoxing Time Frames: How long will it take you ?


THC Detoxing Time Frames: How long will it take you ?



THC Detoxing Time Frames: Intake, Weight, and Activity Levels

Introduction

Detoxifying the body from THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound found in marijuana, is a concern for many individuals, whether it's for employment drug tests, health reasons, or simply a desire to clear their system. THC detoxification isn't a one-size-fits-all process; it depends on various factors, including usage amount, body weight, and activity level. This article aims to provide insights into the time frames required for THC detoxification based on these variables.

 Estimating the detection time of a drug in urine is a complex task because of the many factors that influence a compound’s elimination from the body. Additionally,technical aspects of the testing methods themselves also affect how long a drug will continue to be detected in urine

 The pharmacological variables affecting the duration of detection include drug dose, route of administration, duration of use (acute or chronic), and rate of metabolism. Detection time is also dependent upon analytical factors including the sensitivity of the test (cutoff concentration) and the method’s specificity (the actual drug and/or metabolite that is being
detected).

Understanding THC Detoxification

Before diving into the time frames, it's essential to understand how THC is processed and stored in the body. THC is fat-soluble, meaning it is stored in fat cells throughout the body. Unlike water-soluble substances, you cannot simply flush THC out of your system by drinking water or sweating in a sauna. Instead, the key to detoxifying from THC is to burn it out of your fat cells through metabolic processes. intermittent fasting and CARDIO .

  1. Single Use

For individuals who have used marijuana just once, THC typically remains detectable in their system for about three days, regardless of their body weight or activity level. This is because the body can naturally eliminate THC over time.

  1. Overweight and Heavy Use

For those who are overweight and engage in heavy marijuana use (half a gram or more daily), the detoxification process can be significantly longer. Without making specific lifestyle changes, it may take up to three months or even longer to completely eliminate THC from their system. However, with regular cardio exercises, intermittent fasting, and a low-carb diet, this time frame can be shortened to about two months.

  1. Overweight and Low Use

Even with low usage (more than once a week but not daily), individuals who are overweight might require around a month to detoxify. If usage increases to twice a week or more, THC can accumulate in fat cells, extending the detoxification process.

  1. Average Weight and Heavy Use

For those with an average body weight but who use marijuana heavily (half a gram or more daily), the detoxification process typically takes around two months or longer, assuming no lifestyle changes are made.

  1. Average Weight and Low Use

If you have an average body weight and engage in infrequent marijuana use (once a week or less), THC typically clears your system within three days of use.

  1. Thin and Active with High Use

Individuals who are thin and physically active, even with high marijuana usage, have a more favorable detoxification timeline. Their active lifestyle helps burn off THC at the same rate it is being consumed. Depending on the specific usage and activity level, it might take just a few weeks or less to detoxify their system.

Thin and active / low use - Again any single use is average 3 days  

 

 Now obviously if you have significant use and a short time period your looking for HOW TO DETOX FAST well their are only a few key factors . No THC use , Cardio , low to NO carb diet, and intermittent fasting (  Ketosis ). 

When it is close to test time you will start doing at home self test to see if your clean and may see different results at first if so read this to answer why.

 IF you do not have time for proper detoxing then you should consider synthetic urine as a substitution . A Quality powdered synthetic such as Fake It has never failed been detected as synthetic and is easier to use than you may think. so if nervous of this idea just follow these steps and your get it in the cup at temp , its really all you need to do .

 

Conclusion

THC detoxification is influenced by multiple factors, including usage amount, body weight, and activity level. While there is no one-size-fits-all answer, understanding these variables can help individuals estimate their THC detoxification timeline more accurately. It's important to remember that complete detoxification might not be necessary for everyone, and in some cases, synthetic urine substitution may be a viable option. Additionally, always consult with a healthcare professional before embarking on any detoxification regimen, especially if you have underlying health concerns.
