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.

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
