Does not refrigerating your pee up to 3 hours prior to the drug test invalidate your specimen?? (I used the substitution method) 

I just wanna know how long it takes until the pee is no longer good while unrefrigerated...

and also, I had my friend pee in a cleaned plastic container with an air tight lid. And before I stuck it in the (clean) condom, I poured it in an empty water bottle to make it easier to pour in the condom. 

Is there anything I did that could've messed up my urine sample?!]]></description>

If you're looking to sell high-grade marijuana, Craigslist may not be the place to do it. A man learned that the hard way when the "buyer" who contacted him turned out to be an undercover officer, Stamford police said.
Police said Steven Zahorsky, 24, posted an ad for "Mary Jane in Fairfield County." The ad offered a half-ounce of "A plus" marijuana for $220 and the same amount of "B plus" marijuana for $160.
Stamford Lt. Jon Fontneau said officers spotted the ad and responded, claiming to be a painting crew interested in buying drugs during a work break.
Zahorsky allegedly agreed to sell three-quarters of an ounce of marijuana at an Interstate 95 rest stop, Fontneau said.
Police said they arrived Wednesday afternoon and called Zahorsky's cell phone. He answered and agreed to meet at the rest stop McDonald's in 15 minutes.
Zahorsky allegedly stopped at the undercover officer's car and took $320 in cash in exchange for the marijuana, police said.
When Stamford and Darien officers arrested Zahorsky, he claimed he was at the McDonald's to eat and had no idea why police were arresting him, Fontneau said.
He said police found $320 on Zahorsky and the undercover officer's number on his cell phone.
They searched Zahorsky's Bridgeport apartment and found three bags of marijuana and one bag of hallucinogenic mushrooms, along with a shotgun, ammunition and a digital scale, Fontneau said.
Zahorsky was charged with several drug charges and released on $10,000 bond. He is due back in Stamford Superior Court on Feb. 13. No one answered the phone at a number listed for Zahorsky.
People from 450 cities can post classified ads and opinions on Craigslist.

Seattle DEA Targets Suppliers And Financiers of Bourgeoning Indoor Marijuana Grows
Garden Supply Companies, Mortgage Broker Searched; Indictments Returned
APR 23 -- (Seattle, WA ) – DEA Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Arnold R. Moorin and the United States Attorney for the Western District of Washington, Jeffrey Sullivan, announced that two garden supply companies and the office of a mortgage broker were searched by federal agents today in connection with “Operation Green Reaper,” a crackdown on suppliers and financiers of illegal indoor marijuana grows. A federal grand jury in Seattle has indicted the owners of GREENHOUSE GARDEN SUPPLY of Tukwila, Washington, and SCITEK GARDEN SUPPLY of Auburn, Washington, for Conspiracy to Manufacture Marijuana and Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering. The offices of Jet City Mortgage of Kent, Washington, as well as the home of the mortgage company owners, were also searched today in connection with possible mortgage fraud related to numerous homes where marijuana grows have been discovered.
“The cultivation of indoor grown marijuana poses a danger to everyone in our community,” said DEA Special Agent in Charge Arnold R. Moorin. “These grows use toxic fertilizers and pesticides, have jury-rigged electrical wiring, and leave behind mold and contamination. These homes are a magnet for other crime – in the last year grow houses have been the scene of robberies and murders. The DEA is committed to working with our state, local and federal law enforcement partners to ensure that the neighborhoods where our children play and where families invest their life savings are safe. We will continue to direct our efforts to attacking the infrastructure of these criminal enterprises, in an effort to provide healthier environments for all.”
According to documents unsealed today, the Drug Enforcement Administration and local law enforcement began investigating the garden supply shops in January, 2007. Using confidential informants and materials discovered at marijuana grows, investigators allege that GREENHOUSE GARDEN SUPPLY and its owner QUYEN THE NGUYEN, of Renton, Washington, provided crucial equipment, advice and trash disposal service to those setting up indoor marijuana grows. Financial records reveal that deposits to the company business account are more than twice the income reported to the Washington State Department of Revenue. Some eighty percent of the money deposited is in cash.
The investigation of SCITEK GARDEN SUPPLY and its owner THIET VAN TRAN, of Seattle, Washington, also began in January 2007. Investigators noted ads in Vietnamese newspapers showing marijuana leaf logos and pictures of specialized equipment. Surveillance of the business revealed bags filled with denuded marijuana stalks and potting soil. The business was connected to grows that totaled more than 14,700 plants. While the business’ reported income was very modest, over eighteen months between August 2006 and January 2008, the business took in more than $900,000 with 90% percent of the deposits in cash. The indictment alleges that more than $1.1 million in cash was laundered through SCITEK GARDEN SUPPLY and related bank accounts during this period. In addition, two rings of marijuana growers associated with SCITEK GARDEN SUPPLY were indicted by the grand jury.
According to the search warrant affidavit filed in connection with Jet City Mortgage of Kent, Washington, investigators have determined that nineteen homes where marijuana grows were discovered were purchased using the services of Jet City Mortgage. A review of a sampling of the loans reveals that documents related to the purchasers’ income and employment were falsified. According to the affidavit, various small business owners were paid a fee of up to $600 to falsely verify employment. Jet City Mortgage and one of its owners, who was also a real estate agent, generated substantial fees and commissions by pushing the purchases through with falsified loan information. No criminal charges have been filed in connection with any of the mortgage transactions.
“The scourge of marijuana grow houses that has gripped British Columbia is moving south and invading our neighborhoods,” said United States Attorney Jeffrey Sullivan. “By targeting the businesses that promote, supply and establish these grows, we hope to stop the organized criminal groups that destroy lives while making millions through drug trafficking.”
The indictments unsealed today charge these defendants with Conspiracy to Manufacture Marijuana and Conspiracy to Launder Money:
PHAT FUGU, LLC, a/k/a Greenhouse & Garden Supply, 4451 S 134th Pl, Tukwila
QUYEN THE NGUYEN, 43, Renton

TUONG TRUNG DUONG, 48, Puyallup

HENRY PHUNG, 37, Renton
Conspiracy to Manufacture Marijuana is punishable by a mandatory minimum ten years and up to life in prison and a $4 million fine. Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering is punishable by up to twenty years in prison.
This was an Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation, providing supplemental federal funding to the federal and state agencies involved. The case is being investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the South Snohomish County Narcotics Task Force (SSCNTF includes officers from Lynnwood Police, Edmonds Police, and Mountlake Terrace Police.), the Valley Narcotics Enforcement Task Force (VNET includes officers from the Kent, Renton, Auburn, and Tukwila Police Departments), the Seattle Police Department, Washington State Patrol, Port of Seattle Police, King County Sheriff’s Office, the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), and the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions (DFI).]]></description>

5/10/08 wkrc.com Cincinnatti, Ohio
 
Store Security Guard Arrested In Drug Sweep 
Cincinnati Police say Charles Conard, a security guard at Deveroe's clothing store at McMillan and Gilbert in Walnut Hills, was dealing drugs while on duty. Police are booking a security guard into jail, accused of dealing drugs on the job.
Cincinnati Police went after suspected dealers at McMillan and Gilbert in Walnut Hills late Friday afternoon. They say their main target was the man hired to protect customers at the Deveroe's clothing store.
 
If everybody knows Deveroe's clothing stores, everyone Local 12 asked in Walnut Hills recognizes a security guard named Charles Conard on duty daily at the Deveroe's at McMillian and Gilbert. But not everyone can believe what the guard is doing at the store.
 
"It's crazy," said Monique Smith, Walnut Hills. "I didn't know he was doing that. I thought he was just security at Deveroe's."
 
The shop was shut down Friday, after a Vortex drug bust in and outside of the shop.
 
Officers arrested Conard in his First Choice Security uniform, complete with badge.
 
Undercover Vortex officers say they've been watching Conard sell pot to people as he was working security. He even allegedly sold to an undercover cop posing as a Deveroe's customer.
 
"Here's a person who is entrusted by the public to protect people, but really what he was doing was using the gun and badge for profit," said Lt. Bruce Hoffbauer, Cincinnati Police Vortex. "In this case it was the selling of drugs."
 
Police say the dealer was dangerous, packing this 9mm handgun and three cartridges of ammunition.
 
Police say Conard even chased off competing drug dealer. They say this had the potential to turn into a turf war.
 
"If push came to shove, if something didn't go the way it was planned, he had a firearm at hand, it could have turned very tragic," said Lt. Hoffbauer.
 
A Deveroe's regional manager had no comment Friday night. First Choice Security wouldn't talk about its guard either.
 
The store manager, Kennisha Catlin, was also arrested for having marijuana in her purse.
 
Two other men were arrested in the bust. Police say they found Lovell Brown, 35, with $3,100 in cash and a scale used to weigh drugs. Police say Michael Simms, 30, had 19 baggies of crack cocaine on him.

Cincinnati Police say Charles Conard, a security guard at Deveroe's clothing store at McMillan and Gilbert in Walnut Hills, was dealing drugs while on duty. Police are booking a security guard into jail, accused of dealing drugs on the job.<br />
Cincinnati Police went after suspected dealers at McMillan and Gilbert in Walnut Hills late Friday afternoon. They say their main target was the man hired to protect customers at the Deveroe's clothing store.<br />
 <br />
If everybody knows Deveroe's clothing stores, everyone Local 12 asked in Walnut Hills recognizes a security guard named Charles Conard on duty daily at the Deveroe's at McMillian and Gilbert. But not everyone can believe what the guard is doing at the store.<br />
 <br />
&quot;It's crazy,&quot; said Monique Smith, Walnut Hills. &quot;I didn't know he was doing that. I thought he was just security at Deveroe's.&quot;<br />
 <br />
The shop was shut down Friday, after a Vortex drug bust in and outside of the shop.<br />
 <br />
Officers arrested Conard in his First Choice Security uniform, complete with badge.<br />
 <br />
Undercover Vortex officers say they've been watching Conard sell pot to people as he was working security. He even allegedly sold to an undercover cop posing as a Deveroe's customer.<br />
 <br />
&quot;Here's a person who is entrusted by the public to protect people, but really what he was doing was using the gun and badge for profit,&quot; said Lt. Bruce Hoffbauer, Cincinnati Police Vortex. &quot;In this case it was the selling of drugs.&quot;<br />
 <br />
Police say the dealer was dangerous, packing this 9mm handgun and three cartridges of ammunition.<br />
 <br />
Police say Conard even chased off competing drug dealer. They say this had the potential to turn into a turf war.<br />
 <br />
&quot;If push came to shove, if something didn't go the way it was planned, he had a firearm at hand, it could have turned very tragic,&quot; said Lt. Hoffbauer.<br />
 <br />
A Deveroe's regional manager had no comment Friday night. First Choice Security wouldn't talk about its guard either.<br />
 <br />
The store manager, Kennisha Catlin, was also arrested for having marijuana in her purse.<br />
 <br />
Two other men were arrested in the bust. Police say they found Lovell Brown, 35, with $3,100 in cash and a scale used to weigh drugs. Police say Michael Simms, 30, had 19 baggies of crack cocaine on him. <br />

5/12/08/ WKRC.com/ Cincinatti, Ohio 
 
A marijuana.com news update!;)
 
The owner of a home where two Colerain firefighters died is due in court today. Matthew Cones is expected to plead guilty to a charge of illegal cultivation of marijuana. 
Prosecutors say the April fire at the Cones home was started by a fan that malfunctioned. The fan was in a cedar closet used for growing orchids. Investigators say they found marijuana growing in another part of the house. 
Captain Robin Broxterman and firefighter Brian Schira died when they fell through a section of floor weakened by the flames.
Local 12 will be in court when Cones makes his appearance and we'll post the latest details on the case here on Local12.com as soon as they happen.

			<description>I might have a hair test in five months and I would like to know if I can pass without using any hair treatment methods.

I am a 3 yr 2x a day user. I am 5 10 215 and I have dark hair. I have quit before because of piss tests and found, despite my chronic use and fatty build, I can test clean (below the 15 cut off and easily the 50 cutoff)  in 3 weeks. 

What are my chances of passing a hair test in 150 days without using any methods? If my chances are about 50/50, then what would my chances be with the method? 

Please help. I feel like I am worrying about nothing and need to be reassured?</description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello...  I was wondering if anyone has any information on this test?
All the posts on her seem to be about other common tests given for Drug Screening, but I have not seen this one?

Quest Diagnostics Code 2180 Drug Screen 10-50
(On Quest's website it says the test is DRUG ABUSE PANEL 10-50 + ETHANOL)

What is the difference?  This one seems more obscure?]]></description>
