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.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      I’m not suggesting that tanking is the right thing to do every time. I do think that if you have guys like Burns and Moore that you will trade anyway, then you should think about tanking and getting max value, especially if you want to grab a QB that might go 1st overall. We tried to do both. Trade CMC for picks but don’t take 3 1sts and a 2nd for Burns and Moore. Instead, we won a few games and then threw in Moore on a trade because we didn’t tank and we gave Burns away for a 2nd. Can you honestly say that fully tanking, by trading away all our best guys who weren’t in future plans, in 2022 wouldn’t have made our team better now? We wanted a rookie QB and we didn’t extend the main guy we didn’t want to trade. We were 100% in full tear down and we could have been a playoff team last year if we used the 4 extra 1sts or 3 1sts and 2 2nds (counting picks saved on Young by being pick 3 or 4 not 9) on D. Culture building is funny. It took three coaching changes to seemingly get there. Morgan and Canales weren’t in charge when we “protected” our culture. We still traded Burns and Moore, we just lost 3 first round picks in the process. Also, do you think the Eagles are in a bad place because of their coach clearly tanking a game for a draft pick? Remember that? It was obvious and the coach was fired. The funny thing is that this is something teams do all the time but they add their stars (like Cam in 2016, CMC, Burns, etc.) to IR or rest them in week 16/17. Pederson was just dumb and made it obvious. He could have just sat his starters to start. Anyway, did that incident tank risk their credibility? Did Barkley decide to not sign with them? Seems like their SB win and other SB visit say they are just fine. Winning makes culture, picking the right coach makes culture, trading away guys who are on other teams in a year for top picks and keeping more picks by having a better starting pick to trade up, does not impact culture. If it helps you win, culture will be fine, ask the Eagles.
