A positive report will make you feel happy and failure will not only jeopardizes the personal life but also wreaks havoc on the professional life.

Failure will shatter your dreams of pursuing higher studies (as most of the colleges and universities are asking to submit the drug test report), getting a driving license and getting a job in well-reputed companies. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) metabolites are fat soluble constituents in marijuana. When you smoke this marijuana they get accumulated in the fat cells. The complete removal of this THC is not easy with these natural remedies.

THC metabolites in the fat cells also drop off. Remember that you can’t reduce the weight overnight and you have to work out regularly. This remedy won’t solve your problem if the drug test is due in a few days.

Remedy – 3: (Natural Diuretics)

Natural diuretics like cranberries, grapes, apple cider vinegar, dandelion, green & black tea, parsley, asparagus, beets, cucumber, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, juniper berry, tomatoes, berries, watermelon and other fresh fruits and vegetables which have high water content will help you to urinate a few more times than normal and thereby flush out the toxins from the body.

The regular intake of these diuretics will cleanse the system by enhancing the metabolism. Drink 1 gallon of any of these diuretics (fresh but not canned) will help you to pass the drug test. Always use non – caffeinated beverages rather than caffeinated one.

Remedy – 4: (B – Complex Vitamins)

The intake of water and diuretics will clear the yellow color of the urine which may lead to suspicions. So, to overcome this, you have to consume 100 mg of B – Complex vitamins 2 hours before the drug test. Vitamins B2 or B12 will help to restore the yellow color in the urine.

Remedy – 5: (Iced Tea)

The intake of iced tea which is a natural diuretic will make you urinate frequently and thereby flush out the toxins. It helps to speed up the body metabolism and thus burns fat (which may contain the drug components).
