Drogentests können je nach Substanz und Verfahren Wochen oder Monate zurückreichen. Wir erklären Nachweiszeiten, typische Testarten und warum Manipulationsversuche nicht nur riskant, sondern illegal sind.
Passing a drug test really isn't that hard, as long as you haven't touched any drugs recently. But if you can't walk in with a clear conscience, and certainly not with clean urine, passing gets a lot trickier. Since substances can stay detectable for anything from a few days to several months depending on the substance and the type of test, it's worth thinking long term, well ahead of an upcoming assessment (in some countries, for instance, a medical check to get your driving licence back) or a career step, about whether you really want to risk getting caught. Betting on a pass without a prior break is, frankly, a very shaky gamble. Trying to rig a drug test can be illegal and land you in even deeper trouble. Clumsy tricks like cutting your hair can get out of hand fast. If push comes to shove, the testers will simply fall back on other body hair, under the arms or even pubic hair, so it's full-body-shave time. And anyone who's ever tipped too much lighter fluid onto the barbecue knows just how daft people look without eyebrows.
Trying to dilute a urine test by drinking loads of water or acidic juices isn't a wild idea, but in case of doubt it won't help you dodge suspicion, because the substances can still be detected even at lower concentrations.
Reaching for chemical additives to tamper with the test is risky too, after all you're only adding more substances that could potentially be flagged. On top of that, you're doing your health no favours.
Handing in fake urine ( synthetic urine ) can likewise be against the rules, depending on where you are. And of course it's hardly without risk either, since several variables have to line up. Temperature, for one, is a key giveaway when the authenticity of a sample is checked.
Flirting with the lab assistant can backfire too. If you actually manage to get hold of the vial afterwards and relabel it that way, you might just be launching yourself into a pretty toxic relationship. And as Hollywood teaches us, things really kick off once the new flame finds out your true intentions (because the quarterback spilled it at prom). By then, at the latest, it should dawn on you that a drug problem has long since crept into every corner of your life.
To sum it all up, there's really only one thing to say: not taking drugs is by far the easiest way to pass a drug test. Every other route is risky and, in many places, illegal.
