Are you sitting around waiting for the phone to ring asking you to come in and interview for one of the thousands of jobs that you have applied for since you got laid off?  Chances are that the company that you are interviewing with will ask you to pass a drug test. Since you may or may not have been smoking a little weed during your layoff the chances are that the THC levels in your system are going to be moderate to high. As the economy slowly improves and more companies start to hire again you need to prepare yourself.

Passing a drug test is essential to securing employment and detox products can be expensive. One of the best defenses against testing positive on a drug test is exercise (along with not doing any drugs, of course). When you smoke pot, the THC metabolites end up in your fat cells and as your body breaks down the fat cells, the THC metabolites are deposited into your waste and expelled through your urine.  If you go to take a drug test then those THC metabolites will be detected in your sample.

Exercise helps your body burn fat cells and as each fat cell is burned the THC metabolites contained in the fat cell are expelled from the body in your waste (i.e. urine) or through sweat. It is important to know that if you plan to use a detox drink to pass a drug test then you should refrain from exercise for a few days in order for your body to adjust and not overload your urinary tract with excessive amounts of THC metabolites.
