The immersion should not cross the maximum line provided on the strip. Now the strip should be laid carefully on a non-absorbent flat surface and wait for colored lines to appear in the results window.

The result window of drug test strip is labeled C (control line region) and T (test line region). If two colored lines appear on both the regions of result window, then it is interpreted as negative for marijuana abuse test.
