Common Drug Detection Times

These detection times were taken from different sources. This table if for informational purposes only, this website will not be held responsible if you are caught on a drug test. This isn't medical advice, only information gathered from various sources.

The length of time any drug stays in your system will vary. The time depends on different factors:

• Amount and Frequency of Use Single, isolated, small doses are generally detectable at a lower boundary. Chronic and long-term use typically result in detection periods near or at the upper boundary.
• Metabolic Rate Individuals with slower body metabolism are prone to longer drug detection periods.
• Body Mass In general, human metabolism slows with increased body mass, resulting in longer drug detection periods. In addition, THC (marijuana's active ingredient) and PCP are known to accumulate in fatty lipid tissue. Chronic users, physically inactive users, and individuals with a high percentage of body fat in relation to total body mass are prone to longer drug detection periods for THC and PCP.
• Age In general, human metabolism slows with age, resulting in longer drug detection periods.
• Overall Health In general, human metabolism slows during periods of deteriorating health, resulting in longer drug detection periods.
• Drug Tolerance Users typically metabolize a drug faster once a tolerance to the drug is established.
• Urine pH Urine pH can impact drug detection periods. Typically, highly acidic urine results in shorter drug detection periods.

In a small percentage of cases, users may test positive longer than times shown - most notably in cases of long-term chronic abuse, in individuals with significant body mass and/or body fat, and in individuals with health related issues resulting in abnormally slow body metabolism.
