Urine Marijuana Drug Tests Are Being Used on Stronger Pot Than Ever...Probably

Today we tackle the question - is marijuana stronger than ever or is that a myth? People disagree and I will try to present to the marijuana drug test buyer both sides of the story.

The University of Mississippi's Potency Monitoring Project put out a report this May suggesting the average amount of THC in marijuana is twice as much as it was 2 1/2 decades ago. Now it is 10.1% - in 1983, the amount of THC in pot was just under 4%, according to the report. If you want to buy a marijuana drug test, what does this mean for you?

Maybe not exactly what you think. A blogger at the Marijuana Policy Project, Bruce Mirken, has a few criticisms of the report. He points out that the 10.1% figure came about because hashish, hash oil, and cannabis were lumped together (did you know that hashish was so potent? THC makes up an average of 20.76% of its content). Mirken suggests that the potency of marijuana may be inching up, but not as much as the report says.

Does this mean we should no longer marijuana urine drug test? Well no. You can look at the charts at the Office of National Drug Control Policy marijuana drug potency page and see that potent marijuana is more common, if nothing else. Plus, marijuana use remains illegal in the United States for the most part.

THC content aside, the home drug test, urine or saliva, is so accurate now that it picks up marijuana use in all degrees of potency. You cannot escape detection by smoking weaker weed. A urine marijuana drug test for example meets federal guidelines for drug testing and measures amounts as small as 50 nanograms per mililiter.

There are many reasons why someone might buy a marijuana drug test. While the jury may still be out on the increase in potency of marijuana today, rest assured that the potency of the home drug test for pot is not in question. You can purchase one at Home Health Testing today for only $2.25.
