Okay, so you are no Tony Montana, but you just did a little cocaine over the weekend and on Monday you came into work and were told that your company will now begin to require you to submit to a drug test.  Now that has you worried.  You don’t know how long the cocaine stays in your system.  Will you have to pass a urine test, saliva test, blood test or hair test?  Your job depends on it so you better be prepared.

First of all, there are a few factors that you need to take into consideration in determining how long the cocaine will be present in your urine.  Your body weight has a lot to do with how long the cocaine metabolites will stay in your system.  The larger the body mass the longer the cocaine can be detected in the urine.  Also, the method by which the cocaine was ingested can affect the length of detection time.

Generally, a one time use of a small amount of cocaine can be detected from two to seven days depending on your body weight.  If you have been using cocaine for a while the detection time will be longer because you may have a bit of a toxin build up in your system and there are more metabolites to deal with.  Now back to the problem at hand, the drug test.  If you are going to take a urinalysis then, as Tony Montana would say, “Say hello to my little friend!” Your little friend in this case would be a detox drink or some detox capsules.  These will help you pass your drug test provided you use them correctly and stay away from cocaine for a few days.
