Drug Testing FAQ-how long will a urine drug test stay positive after last Cannabis use ?

This is a frequent question regarding urine drug testing as Cannabis stays in the system much longer than other drugs, and can still be detected on a urine drug test for up 30 days in some individuals.

After a one off Cannabis use Cannabis will have cleared the system and not be detectable in most peoples urine sample by about 5-7 days. However this is not always so as Cannabis clearance is affected by many factors including the individuals fat levels. As Cannabis can be stored in the body in fat a leaner individual will clear Cannabis from their system faster than an obese individual.

What other factors affect how quickly Cannabis clears from the system ?

  • body fat
  • total body mass
  • frequency of use
  • strength of Cannabis used eg Cannabis resin & skunk contains more of the active THC
  • duration of Cannabis use

Cocaine and Cannabis drug tests should be part of a multi-drug test

Screening in isolation for cannabis and cocaine can be a false economy. Specific drug group tests are only really suitable for individuals, self testing or for specific post exposure clearance drug screening. For point of care drugs of abuse screening it will always be better to use a multi-panel drug screen covering the common recreational drugs of abuse and/or addiction.

The common drug panels used include the original 5 panel drug test used wideley in employment drug testing, Cannabis, Cocaine, Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, Opiates and where a younger age group is targeted the 5 panel combination Cannabis, Cocaine, Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, MDMA

Both  5 panel & other common multipanel drug tests are available online at UK Drug Testing

FAQ Cannabis Drug Tests

How long does Cannabis stay positive on a drug test ?

This we find is a common question and something that can cause confusion , as the amount of time Cannabis stays in the system can be very variable. A Cannabis urine drug test detects Cannaboids in urine, and as these are stored in fatty tissue thay can be released for a extended period after the exposure to cannabis occurred.

A urine Cannabis drug test can stay positive for up to 30 days after last Cannabis use in certain cases, although in most cannabis users the drug will be out of their system in 6 -10 days, depending on duration of drug use. The amount of time Cannabis stay in the body depends on many factors such as, the amount  taken, its strength, purity, the body weight of the person being tested and rate of metabolism, and whether they are a casual Cannabis user or a long term user.
