Unfortunately drug testing is becoming more and more popular throughout the world. 81% of all companies surveyed now perform tests to determine whether you are a user and possible hazard to their company. Insurance agencies and courts are also major drug testers. There are basically four types of tests that they perform.

The first and most popular is the Urine test. This procedure usually involves you going into the bathroom and filling up a cup with your urine. They either use a test card right then for immediate results or send it away to a lab to get tested through a sophisticated gas analyzer.

The second type of test is a Hair Follicle test. Hair testing is quite accurate and can go back 6 months, showing all of the toxins you used in a sort of timeline. Many people try to get around this by just shaving their head. Know that they will go for your underarm, pubic, leg or arm hair if you do not have the required 1/2 inch on your head.

The third type of test is a Blood test. Blood testing is usually performed for serious employment positions or when you are applying for insurance policies. This is expensive and not very common.

The fourth type of test is the Saliva test. This is not common and can only detect toxins used 3-4 days prior. Insurance companies and law enforcement agencies use this method most often.

The most obvious way to pass a drug test is abstinence. If you don't use anything, you have nothing to worry about. Passing a drug test is not as difficult as you may think.
