I was a forensic toxicologist for 20 years and have had friends and coworker ask me about testing for THC over the past few years since it has been legalized in many states for recreational use (including my state). I handled R&D for SAMHSA/NIDA confirmatory testing by GC/MS, as well as initial screening by immunoassay using various instruments (Hitachi, Olympus, etc). Since these were FDA approved and to SAMHSA standards, they would more than likely perform as expected. In order to recommend quick test strip kits to people, I decided to try some kits. This product performed well in my testing. I used myself as a negative control and the expiration of the strips I received were in 2019. The result was correct with the THC patient line being the same density/color as the control. I then tested a known user at two stages. They were a light user so I tested 1 hour after use and the test was as expected, with a slight positive (faint line on the THC but less prominent than the control). At 1 hour I expected it to be either negative or slightly positive due to the cannabis metabolism rate (but it can vary depending on the individual). I also tested after about 8 hours and it was positive with no THC line and the control line was valid. I have read reviews that say their test did not match the result when sent in to a drug lab and I would warn people that this can be due to many factors and most do not relate to the strips. The ones which could be strip related are expiration, faulty storage, faulty manufacturing (it can happen with any lab test, including reagent based). The most likely cause, however, is that this is a urine test. Urine tests are notorious for being dependent on the concentration of the urine. If you test on a dilute urine and it is negative but then test on a more concentrated urine and it is positive, this is not an invalid result. The same goes for a concentrated urine coming up positive and another test being more dilute coming up negative. If you want to match test results, you would need to do blood tests or check specific gravity or creatinine levels for a THC/Creat ratio. Also you are comparing two different tests. One is based on a test strip and the other is based on an analyzer that used reagents and much better immunoassay techniques. With a strip (as in thin layer chromatography), the result is dependent on the person performing the test being able to distinguish colors and bands, variations in intensity/density, etc. These are also qualitative assays and a 50ng/mL cutoff will vary greatly above that limit. You may not be able to detect even over 100ng/mL by eyesight. Analyzers in a lab use photometers for detection. From what I have seen, I would place these up with any other well made test strip. I would just be sure to return any you get that are close to expiration, which will greatly deteriorate results and more than likely make them invalid. These would be of most use for testing kids or others where you want to know if they have been using cannabis as long as you know to use a concentrated urine (first void after waking works well). I would not use them during a period of fluid intake because that would defeat the purpose. You could also use this to get a ballpark figure of THC levels by serial diluting the urine and testing each dilution to see when it comes up negative. There is no way to know the actual level but if it takes many dilutions (like 1:20) you can be sure the level is fairly high and will take much longer to clear, even on a concentrated sample.

Work exactly as they should. A note on the negative confirmation line: while even a faint line is considered by this test to be a "pass," it definitely scales with the level of cannabinoid metabolites in your system. While trying to detox my body, I tested daily and the line got darker and darker each day after it showed up. Why this is important: if you are required to take a more-sensitive test, you may still test positive on *that* test. I have been able to take two hits off of a whole bud vaporizer in a 36 hour period and still pass, though the line got fainter after the second hit. Further testing showed that it I waited 24 hours between hits, I could keep the line fairly visible. I have a low BMI and stay wrll-hydrated, which should help. As a bonus, keeping your intake low means your tolerance stays low and that one hit will keep me medicated for ADHD for almost 12 hours. Read more

My boyfriend and I got these because we had to pass a drug test for a job. He hadn't smoked in months, and I hadn't smoked in a week. Using the test was incredibly easy and fast - it only takes 5 minutes for your results to show! The first time I took the test, I tested positive, which I expected, and the results were very clear. However when my boyfriend took it, he tested negative but the second bar that indicates it's negative was very faded so it was confusing for him. He followed the directions and checked the test after 5 minutes as instructed, and even checked again minutes later, and that second indicator was still very faded. We assumed it still meant negative because on my positive test the second bar didn't show up at all. On the day of my test, after chugging a calculated mix of creative, sugar, and b12, I tested negative on this test, except like my boyfriend the indicator for the negative was very faded and only looked like half a bar. This was very confusing for me, but I assumed it meant negative because when I tested positive I couldn't see the second bar at all. We both ended up passing our drug tests! So we're not sure if this test was faulty in displaying the negative results, or if it maybe traced very slight amount of THC in our system and that's why the negative indicator wasn't as clear as the positive one. So we assumed the test for ourselves looked negative, and we did end up testing negative, so I guess the products does work well, but I wish we could've gotten tests that had clearer results so we wouldn't have worried so much about how our actual drug tests would turn out. Also this is a GREAT deal for 10 drug tests. They're usually way more expensive in store. Read more

I've been highly suspicious that another household member will, on occasion, help themselves to my medicinal, natural medications. Possibly the Green Crack or Zombie Mind Fug. I will sometimes be darn near paranoid. So I got these tests. Tricky part is collecting the urine. I have said "it's for my collection" and also for: a joke, art, weapon and selling to a weirdo on the web. You can only think up so many excuses, it's way harder than you might think. So far my limited tests have not uncovered any guilty parties. Soon though, very soon. I got a pan with warm water ready for suspect #7's hand once they hit REM sleep. Oh, then we'll know, we'll have answers. Read more
