Drug Tests

Alright so here's my dilemma:

 

I smoked 4 days ago and have to take a test by Feb. 3rd.  I'm looking at a 16 day time table from my last use.  

 

I'm 5'9, 160 lbs, work out a lot and have a strong healthy diet.  I know I can't simply flush it out of my system because it latches on to fat cells and don't want to try the fake urine route.  

 

For those knowledgeable/with experience: Is this a workable time frame?...because I'm nervous as hell.  I know some say it can be out of your system in 6-7 days but I'm more of a habitual/chronic user and probably looking at a 2-3 week timeframe. 

 

I bought a 10 pack testing kit to monitor my progress but was looking to get some opinions and see if anyone knows of good regimes not just the day-of-the-test.  

 

I've been avoiding large amounts of caffeine, fatty foods, am drinking lots of water and milk, eating a ton of veggies/fruits, and working out daily with a post-workout steam room.  Any advice appreciated and yes..I know I should cut back/not use but it's helped me out tremendously with my Crohn's and with lowering my alcohol consumption.

If you follow that routine I would give you a 100% chance of passing.  I know people that have passed in only a 3 day turn around but like you said the more you smoke the longer it will take. 

 

Yep, the nice thing is that I know the time frame and can monitor it from now until the official tests with the home kit.  

 

It's just a bit unnerving.

I've always said it would take a complete dumbass to fail a drug test you know you are going to have to take.  You got this.

You're doing all the right things, keep it up!

If you still want to be sure drink a gallon of water the morning of the test and pee as much as you can before you go. The result will be "negative dilute" and you will be re-tested but a second negative dilute equals a pass.

You shouldn't need to do that but if you feel the need it will work.

Just a little information here. The bodies ability to process and remove THC from the body is enhanced by the frequency that you use. What I mean is this -  If you are a frequent user, or have been recently, you will shed thc from your system at a faster rate than a none user. In a vacuum, if a frequent user (ignoring all prior THC buildup) and a non user were to smoke a bowl, the frequent user would be able to pass a drug test much sooner than the previous none-user. 

 

Granted, if you are a frequent and heavy smoker you may have a lot to pass through your system so this can take a while, but generally a frequent smoker will be able to pass a drug test in under the 30 day time table where as someone who only smokes infrequently would have a tougher time passing.

Sucks for us workin people having to take drug tests and all when it is ruled unconstitutional and invasion of privacy for people on unemployment to take it.

 

Yes well, one is government invasion and one is private business practice. There's a difference.

Isn't it all pretty dependent upon how/what sensitivity or threshold level the test is set for?

 

Some zero tolerance jobs (like the military) employ a pretty sensitive test standard that has detected THC upwards of 30-45 days after use.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
