| I have - sometime within the next week (have not been told exactly when) a drug screen and physical as pre-employment for my dream job of a lifetime - I absolutely have to pass this test! I am female, 46, 5'10, 170 - so small build but a little overweight. Since I have heard that this matters, I lost 40 pounds a year and a half ago. I have been smoking for over 30 years. I last smoked last Thursday - got the call with the job offer on Friday. My start date is Monday the 16th. Since there is a physical involved, I will have some notice. I have heard that physicals occasionally ask you to fast the night before, so I am a little worried about my ability to dilute, although i am prepared to follow N2's advice (will start the creatine today - as soon as I can get to vitamin cottage). I do not formally work out, but I am a grocery checker, so quite a bit of physical activity doing that. When I smoke, it is primarily a bowl a night - sometimes only a puff or two - for the purposes of keeping my lupus and arthritis in check. (quitting for awhile is really taking its toll!). I would have stopped a month ago if I had known that an opportunity such as this was coming up - they discovered an old resume on Monster that I had no idea even existed - but I'm glad that it did! Please - I need advice bad! I hate the fact that I have to do this, but since there are government contracts involved, you know that there is going to be a test! Please help - any and all advice will be more than welcome! Smartsmoker |

| I was once in a similar situation, I was smoking everyday or almost everyday and it was either a session with at least a bowl or bong. I had less than 9 days from the last time smoking and the day I had to get tested. So being a moderate smoker i was really worried of my chances failing the test. What I did was began drinking about a gallon of water a day and eating as much protein i could get my hands i.e alot of beans, tuna. I also took short runs once a day (just enough to get a good sweat, 20 mins or so). The last bit or advice i can tell you is when you actually take the pee test, try to catch the midddle stream of your urine, the most concentrated amounts of THC are at the beginning and end of urinating. The only difference I see is that i have a high metabolism even for my age(25). But if i understand you right you have several more days then I did, you can beat this test. Best of luck and enjoy your new job! -CJ |

| Take a pitcher and fill it with 1/4 cup cranberry concentrate 1 tbs ground flax seed 1/2 tsp milk thistle water This will flush out the toxins from within your body. This includes medication as well since medications are toxic to the human body. Keep in mind, our brains have THC receptors so I don't consider THC a toxin. Your body also stores THC in your fat cells. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you would, please read my solution to legalizing pot. Hope this helps. |

| My advice...if this truely is your DREAM job then don't take any chances. At this point I wouldn't even worry about trying to clean out considering that it's next week and you're slightly overweight. If you're overweight then you more than likely have a lower metabolism which means it's VERY possible for it to stay in your body longer than 30 days. Don't forget...there are cases where it can take up to 90 days for the metabolites to be completely out of your system. I would advise subbing your urine. Personally I would use Pass a Drug Test Transporter Kits ( ureasample.com) and get their real powerded urine and a delivery system. The system plus the 2 day shipping will get set you back $114.90 but isn't it worth that to get the job of your dreams and KNOW that you ARE GOING to PASS? If you insist on doing the test yourself then you better pray they just do a panel test on you where they just use a dropper and put your urine from the cup on it. If they do GS or EMIT on it there's not really anything you can do. They now look for diluted samples...creatine can screw up your PH level which will fail you these days. If it's diluted then they will either make you retest on the spot or fail you for it there and leave it up to your employer to decide if they want to test you again. The fact of the matter is this...Subbing your urine is the best way to pass the test if there is even a chance that it's still in your system and if you smoked for 30 years...I'm not trying to break your spirit but it's in your system and that much usage...I can't tell you that you will be able to pass. It's different for everyone. I've heard stories of people passing on pickle juice and I've heard stories of passing on water. I know a friend who that never worked for, but I have another friend who smoked the night before his test and walked in a passed...I have no idea how but he did. That just proves that it's different for everyone. Remember one thing though...make the smart decision because (and please don't take this as me being rude) but your employer isn't going to care if you smoked for your lupas or not...they're only going to care that you got high. Good luck with whatever you choose to do. Last edited by Plainsman1963 : 06-10-2008 at 09:11 PM. Reason: To break the link. Please no commercial hotlinks. |

| Despite what goot and gollywomp have said, nothing gets THC metabolites out of your system except time and fat-burning exercise. There is no magic "flush" or "detox". These products, when they help at all, help because they're really part of an undeclared dilution protocol. You can do a dilution much more effectively and much more cheaply following the instructions in one of the stickies at the top of this forum's listing. Drinking large quantities of water for weeks prior to the test does nothing to help you pass it. THC metabolites are not water soluble. They accumulate in your body's fat tissue and leave as the fat gets burned up. Drinking a reasonable amount of water immediately prior to the test is part of every dilution protocol. By increasing the volume of urine, you effectively lower the concentration of THC metabolites. Substitution is another alternative. There's a sticky for that, too, and you don't have to spend $115 to do it.

| Well, I'm still waiting for the test date and drinking plenty of water. I guess that my main question is can I sub if there is a physical involved and how might I get away with that? Does anyone have any ideas for that one? Thanks - still have not heard of the date for this though and that worries me some - I will let everyone know when I can. And yes, I am slightly overweight but better than I was! I am now 12 days since my last buzz. I am eating a lot of protein and taking B complex vitamins and drinking a lot of water. Further thoughts would be appreciated! I do appreciate the responses to date though... |

| Buzzby is correct. There is no product that can remove THC from your body. That includes pectin products, vinegar, etc. The reason why some people pass after using these products is because they had managed to dilute their bladder with the copius amounts of fluids theyve drank with these products. Theyve diluted just enough to register below the cutoff level of the drug screen. If the test was simply a screen with no validity checks performed, these people would have passed anyway just on the fluid-loading alone without the nasty taste of the pectin and vinegar to go with it. Drinking fluids is only good for the day of test. Drinking fluids days before the test is useless. Last edited by lew scannon : 06-10-2008 at 09:15 PM. |
