How long do drugs stay positive in your system ?

The amount of time drugs stay in the body depends on many factors such as, the amount of the drug taken, its strength, purity, the body weight of the person being tested and rate of metabolism, and whether they are a casual user or a long term user.

Cut offs for onsite drug testing kits are brand specific and as a guide the window period for drug detection using saliva or oral fluid drug test are shorter than comparable urine drug test.

As a rough guideline most drugs  (excluding cannabis will be detectable on a urine drug test for up to 3-4 days) and on a saliva drug test for up to a maximum of 72 hours (some saliva tests are only up to 24 hours)

Cannabis can be detected in some individuals on a urine drug test for up to 28-30 days (depends on individual useage and body fat composition as Cannabis metabolites stored in body fat)

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

One of the commonest questions asked.

The following guide cover urine drug testing only.

Dose size and route of administration are among the factors which determine the period after use during which the drugs or metabolites might be detected in a urine sample. As these are almost always “unknown” all drug detection periods are normally given as a window and will cover around 90% of cases.

Amphetamine 3-5 days

Barbiturates 1-5 days (longer for Phenobarbitone)

Benzodiazepines 2-30 days depending on half live of drug

Cannabis 3-30 days

Cocaine 3-5 days

Codeine 1-2 days

Dihydrocodeine 1-2 days

Methadone 3-7 days

Morphine 3-5 days

Propoxyphene 2-4 days

MDMA 2-4 days
