All About Synthetic Urine Kits for Passing Drug Tests

Cannabis is quickly gaining more acceptance in the corporate world—to the extent that businesses are adjusting their policies concerning cannabis to accommodate those who consume it. However, the majority of workplaces continue to conduct drug tests that pick up on cannabis use. As a result, many people turn to synthetic urine to pass a drug test and avoid putting their job at risk just because of medical or recreational cannabis consumption. If that includes you, here’s what you need to know. 

What Are Synthetic Urine Kits?

Researchers explain that synthetic urine was “primarily utilized by drug testing laboratories as a matrix for quality control preparations, is now commercially sold and can be used to ‘fool’ a positive drug test.” Simply put, synthetic urine is manufactured in a laboratory with uric acid, ammonia, creatinine, and other compounds found in normal urine so that the synthetic version appears to be normal.

A synthetic urine kit is a product that can easily be purchased and usually includes one of two different types of synthetic urine, a liquid or a powder. Before getting into the difference, it is important to address the existing rumors about where synthetic urine comes from. For example, some sources try to claim it is sourced from monkeys. However, the word “synthetic” literally means “made by chemical synthesis”—aka man-made. 

Liquid vs. Powder Synthetic Urine

When deciding on which synthetic urine kit to purchase, it is important to consider whether the powder or liquid version is best for you and your needs. The powdered urine kits include a powder that needs to be mixed with hot water, which will then resemble natural urine.

Powders can obviously be transported and stored more easily, but they may not be the best option when there is no opportunity to mix the powder with hot water while under supervision. The benefit of the liquid version is that it’s easy to use and does not require any preparation. However, it can be tricky to move without getting caught depending on the kit you purchase.  

Why Use Synthetic Urine Kits?

Synthetic urine kits are controversial. After all, their very purpose is to deceive authorities. While some folks may purchase them simply to get away with an unhealthy habit or addiction, many others are forced to in order to maintain employment while using legal medical cannabis. You read that right—even in states with legal cannabis programs, some companies continue to put patients in difficult positions by testing them for THC.  

It is also important to remember that traces of cannabis remain in the body long after consumption. This makes things extra stressful for patients who use medical cannabis to treat a condition while off the clock. Until the law and workplace policies catch up to the science, cannabis consumers will continue to seek out loopholes in order to avoid unjust punishment. 

Examples of Synthetic Urine Kits

The following synthetic urine kits can be purchased online, usually come in discreet packaging, and may have overnight delivery services depending on where you are based:

• The Whizzinator: This company offers a variety of urine kits, but their most popular one is The Whizzinator Touch, which includes synthetic urine, a life-like prosthetic penis, heating pads (for warm urine), and an “ultra-secure belt that goes around your waist and legs.” The company explains that this product is made to be worn for extended periods of time and that the synthetic urine is released from the pouch and through the prosthetic by pressing the tip of the prosthetic penis.
• Test Clear: Test Clear is a drug testing advisory corporation that offers a powdered urine kit described as “the people’s choice when a real urine simulation product is needed.” This kit includes a plastic transportation vial that can hold 50 milliliters of the synthetic urine, of which a minimum of 45 milliliters is needed for a urine drug test sample—which also means that this powdered kit can be mixed and prepared at home. Test Clear ensures its clients that “this natural urine kit looks, smells and behaves chemically as drug-free human urine.”
• Clear Choice: Clear Choice offers a premium, pre-mixed synthetic urine kit called Quick Luck. Clear Choice claims that its product is superior on the basis that the company has been working on perfecting its synthetic urine kits through research and lab testing for more than 27 years. Unlike The Whizzinator Touch, Quick Luck is made for unisex use, but like The Whizzinator Touch, it comes with heating pads to simulate the warmth associated with natural urine. Clear Choice claims that this product of theirs is the “only pre-mixed, synthetic urine of its kind and it rivals any other product out there on the market.”

How do you know if a synthetic urine kit is high-quality? According to the San Francisco Health Information Viability, signs of a bad synthetic urine kit include low cost, poor packaging, poor marketing, and availability on third-party sites. Another aspect to consider is whether or not the urine test will be taken within the presence of a witness or not. Have you successfully—or unsuccessfully—used a synthetic urine kit for a drug test?
