Drug Tests

[davos]

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.

The easy quick answer is don't use drugs!

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.

I mean I'm happily self-employed (designer) and this is for a job with a corporate group.  So...it's not a major deal but it'd be a nice possible next step.

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.
