Crack Elimination Time

Q: I smoked 2 grams of crack. I have a drug screen in 10 days.  I have been drinking a lot of water and detox tea.  Before this, I was clean for 2 years.  Will I be able to pass urine screen test?  I am 5’11 & 245 lbs.

You may go through this information on crack clearance time and see where do you fit into it.

As you may realize, the minimum time for Benzoylecgonine clearance is usually 4-5 days. If a person had been a regular user or consumed it heavily or used it with alcohol, then the time may go up significantly. Caffeinated drinks also tend to hold it back in the body.

Take care,

          There’s little time in hand for cleansing! You’ll need to be very aggressive. Better abstain form coffee, as it may hold back the drug in the body.

      This is too short a period for cleaning up your system. The drug requires at least a week to get out of the system.

      Keep drinking lots of water. Avoid caffeine and abstain completely from alcohol. This would speed up the excretion of the drug.

      You may pass, if this was a one time use of the drug. Also, during these seven days, you need to take all precautions.

    My co-worker is 5’10” 200lbs and would like to know if you can provide any information related to an “oralert” saliva drug tests detection times for someone who has recently smoked crack 2 grams and drank quite a bit. The subject in question isn’t very honest but I’d peg him as a regular user. He has a drug test Friday morning, Any information would be helpful.

      Saliva drug test detect cocaine up to 20ng/mL. Detection in saliva begins immediately after smoking and stays for almost a day.

      To pass the test, ask him to abstain completely from cocaine and alcohol. Drinking plenty of water would help.

      He needs to include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in his diet. These are natural detoxifiers.

      Also, he needs to brush his teeth thoroughly twice a day to clean out any speck of drug or its breakdown products in the oral cavity. Using a non alcohol mouth wash would be beneficial.

    I ingested a small amount of crack approximately 7 days prior to obtaining a hair follicle test (underarm hair). How likely is it that the hair has grown out far enough or was cut close enough to the skin to read positive?

      Was this a one time use of the drug? If yes, you have a chance to pass. However, if you have been using it regularly, things become complicated.

    Ok so i just need to know if im going to be ok for a drugtest thats possible at the end of january. Thursday night me and a friend of mine were drinking pretty heavily and i did about 1.5g of coke and a little bit of hard. Friday i did nothing and then saturday i also drank and did maybe 2g of hard and a couple lines. It was quite a bit of coke on top of the fact that i was drinking and i read about this shit “cocaethylene” that stays in your system when coke and alc are mixed. There was one rehab page on google that said cocaethylene can stay in your system for 30 days. I have never heard of any traces of cocaine regardless of how much theyd used or if they had used it with alcohol being in someones system for a month. What do you think guys? It seems like 14 days is the max time any traces of coke can be in your system even if taken with alcohol.Advice please i might have a drug test at the middle of january. Just wanna make sure ill be ok in lets say 3 weeks. I used thurs and sat but other than that ive been clean for the whole year before.

    Let this be a warning to others if you don’t have 4 weeks then you won’t be able to drop below the 150 ng/ml mark.

      19 days should be plenty of time for drug elimination but if they’re thorough then they’ll trace every last spec.

      Crack leaves a very distinct marker in your system so it’s easy traceable.

      Elimination time varies between each individual, my last binge was 12 days ago and I would have thought with being fit and active it would only be small amounts left but maybe I’m wrong. I personally think I’ve definitely failed, I have been in my job nearly 8 years.

    I am in a 20+ year relationship with a chronic crack user ( no other drugs ). I myself have never tried crack & have zero interest in any drugs. But we share a bed, bath, kitchen etc. Up till about 3 years ago I always tested clean.
    Since then I always test positive for coke. I have tried staying apart for 1 week but still + on any urine test. Not sure if the tests have gotten more sensitive or something wrong with me or is this normal after long term exposure ?
    I can not qualify for a better job nor get life insurance.
