Not to mention that all positions working for the federal government require drug testing, and operate in accordance with federal law (which does not recognize cannabis as legal, regardless of state laws).<\/p>\n<p>Given these realities, it\u2019s essential that you know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/cannabis-101\/how-to-pass-a-drug-test-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">how to pass a drug test<\/a>, or else risk losing your job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While there are numerous options to help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/strains-products\/thc-detox-kits-or-detox-drinks-which-solution-is-right-for-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">detox and get THC out of your system<\/a>, knowledge is power, and it helps to know where you stand. Enter at-home drug tests, which allow you to check your THC levels and either go into your official test with confidence or understand that you need to detox more thoroughly.<\/p>\n<p>Never used an at-home test and not sure where to start? This article will give you everything you need to know to make sure you understand the process and are ready to test without fear of failure.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-an-at-home-drug-test\">What is an at-home drug test<\/h2>\n<p>An at-home drug test is exactly what it sounds like: a test you can perform at home in order to check the presence of substances in your system.<\/p>\n<p>By far the most common type of drug test used by employers today is the urine test, so most at-home drug test products are designed with this in mind. Other (less common) options include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/cannabis-101\/how-to-pass-a-hair-follicle-drug-test-with-detox-shampoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">hair follicle drug tests<\/a> (which are rapidly becoming more popular), blood tests (which are generally used for special purposes and very accurate), and saliva tests (which are less accurate and usually used for more on-the-fly situations, such as roadside testing).<\/p>\n<p>At-home urine test kits consist of a test strip that you use with a urine sample, allowing you to read (through the strip) whether or not THC shows up in your urine. While the results of at-home tests <em>do not<\/em> count for official purposes, they do allow users to figure out their basic urine toxicity levels, and better prepare for official tests.<\/p>\n<h2>What drugs does it test for<\/h2>\n<p>Looking across the market, home test kits are available for detecting a wide range of substances. You can test for the presence of everything from THC, alcohol, amphetamines, cocaine, opiates, ecstasy, and even nicotine.<\/p>\n<p>Anything that does not immediately pass through your system can be caught, as long as you\u2019re using the right (and reliable) test kit.&nbsp; For our purposes, however, we are most concerned with home test kits for THC. THC home test kits allow cannabis consumers to accurately identify THC levels present in their urine in their efforts to prepare for formal third-party tests.<\/p>\n<h2>Steps to using an at-home drug test<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><\/figure>\n<p>Using an at-home drug test is simple. Like most tests that you will encounter, they function by testing THC levels in urine. These home tests only take a few minutes to complete and are simple to do yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to get started? After depositing a urine sample in a cup:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Remove the cap from the test strip and immerse the strip into the cup of urine.<\/li>\n<li>Wait for the \u201cC\u201d line to appear, then take the test strip out.<\/li>\n<li>Put the cap back on the test strip and lay it on a flat surface.<\/li>\n<li>Finally: read the results after five minute have passed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Remember that timing is important here. You need to wait five minutes to read the test, but not try to interpret it after ten minutes, as the reading will no longer be accurate.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s it! How did your test turn out?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" alt=\"at-home drug test\" class=\"wp-image-192950 has-ll lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/how-to-use-an-at-home-drug-test-1.jpg,compress&amp;w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/how-to-use-an-at-home-drug-test-1.jpg,compress&amp;w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/how-to-use-an-at-home-drug-test-1.jpg,compress&amp;w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/how-to-use-an-at-home-drug-test-1.jpg,compress&amp;w=1480 1480w\"><figcaption>Courtesy of PassYourTest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Test-O-Meter<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/passyourtest.com\/product\/test-o-meter-thc-home-test-kit\/?utm_source=Leafly&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=at-home-drug-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Test-O-Meter<\/a> offered by PassYourTest.com is a top pick among at-home test kits if you need to make absolutely sure that there are no traces of THC left in your system.<\/p>\n<p>Most kits only offer single-panel testing, looking for one concentration of THC.
