Has anyone ever failed a lab test after passing a home test?

anyone? interested in your experiences...

thanks

Yes, I did. But the reason was because I stupidly used my second piss of the day when I went in to the lab. When I did the home test the previous day, it was later in the day and I had pissed multiple times before-hand.

Bottom line is, if you pass a home test, you're good to go. Home tests have a cutoff level of 50 ng/mL. This is the same cutoff that the labs use for the initial EMIT test; they only use the GC/MS (cutoff of 15 ng/mL) to confirm a positive from the EMIT. Just don't make the same mistake I did. I ended up being fine in the end (read my thread 'pre-emp drug test'), but I could've avoided the situation had I not gotten careless.

I took a home test the day before my test with my first void but the night before I only wound up sleeping 3 or 4 hours. I passed with a nice solid line though. Do you think that was a problem?

OG I'll tell you again, that fat solid line with the 50 ng/ml is golden man -- I still say you passed. :-D

I'd like to add, 50 ng/ml is *A* standard test. Quest, for instance, also offers a 20 ng/ml as "standard" to some employers. Odds are, *MOST* folks will face a 50 ng/ml, but not ALL.

Of course, the CUTOFF amount and the CONFIRM are two seperate beasts -- I've found most forms can be Googled so you have a better idea of what you face if you can manage to stall. For instance, I'm sure I'll face one Tuesday, and, I have an excuse lined up to stall until Wednesday so I can research what I'll face.

No, researching WHILE on the job is a BAD idea for a lot of reasons -- use your smartphone at lunch or your PC from home are your safest bets. (just for those who might not be aware of safety protocols)

In my opinion, it sounds like you're okay. Did you dilute at all?

Yeah it said it on the paper they gave me and it's at 50. I used my regular urine of 27 days clean so I hope they don't double check. For the record I had just started smoking a month ago again and had smoked roughly 5 times out of a one hitter shared with 2 people. Yeah... Ima lightweight lol. I basically went through a whole dub total with my friends. So I'm beginning to feel more confident every day as I hope to not get a call from this job

I had a good amount of water two days before and I downed two shots of vinegar the day before lol

OG, buddy, the whizzquiz is beat, and, because quizzes cost money -- even on contract -- they don't just hand them out pell-mell.

I won't offer an early gratz on the job, but I can't WAIT to be the first to say "Gratz you did it!"

Vinegar is bad, mmmkay?

I mean, it won't "hurt" you (well anything outside of moderation), but, IIRC how PH works, vinegar will LOWER the PH of your urine, which, could potentially fail a SVT -- and give you the runs if you drink too much of it, which, can lead to other complications.

Vinegar is a BAD myth and needs to be shot in the head and left for dead.

Since you had those two shots the day before, I don't THINK it'd matter to the test. Can't say for certain.

Well, dilution will only really help on the day of the test, and vinegar doesn't really do much. But considering the fact that you haven't really smoked that much and gave yourself plenty of time to get clean, and that you passed a home test, I'd say you're very much in the clear.

Good luck and good tokes!

I count the days bro haha

I have been 31 days clean but took two hits in Vegas 2 weeks ago. I also got my wisdom teeth pulled 2 weeks ago and have been taking hydrocodone but quit taking them about a week ago, I got a random today and it came back inconclusive, so theyre sending it to the lab hopefully I just fail for hydros I took a home test 2 days ago for marijuana and passed. Will update with results. Wish me luck :/

i passed an at home test then got a diltued/inconclusive result at the Quest lab....i retook the test and passed, and posted my method on "the results thread"...mainly borrowing from N2's dilution tips and tricks

I was wondering the same question. I have passed 2 home tests with a little faint line on both. I am about 3 weeks clean after smoking about 2-3 times per week at most for 2-3 months. I will be clean about 28 days on my day test. I will let you know what happens, hope for the best.
