What a 5-panel drug test actually tests for

|---|---|
| THC (marijuana) | 50 ng/mL urine initial / 15 confirm |
| Cocaine (benzoylecgonine) | 150 / 100 ng/mL |
| Opiates (morphine, codeine, 6-MAM heroin marker) | 2,000 / 2,000 ng/mL |
| Amphetamines (mixed amphetamine salts class) | 500 / 250 ng/mL |
| PCP | 25 / 25 ng/mL |

Who uses this panel
The federal standard since the Reagan era — still the DOT-mandated panel for CDL drivers, aviation, maritime and other safety-sensitive work.
What candidates should know
Standard 5-, 10-, 12-, and 14-panel drug tests do not include psilocybin or psilocin. The chemicals are simply absent from the assay strip — this is why shrooms 'do not show up' on virtually every workplace drug screen in the United States.
Only a purpose-built specialized test can find mushroom use, and those tests are expensive, uncommon, and normally limited to research, forensic, or clinical-psychiatry settings. Routine pre-employment screening never orders them.
Psilocybin itself leaves the body quickly because it is immediately converted to psilocin, which is what labs would target. Psilocin clears within about a day in typical use.

Absence from a panel means absence of testing — not safety. Specialty orders, expanded cups, probation panels and sports programs reach further. If your situation involves court supervision, treatment programs or safety-sensitive certification, assume wider coverage.
