| Hello everyone! I have been reading the threads here, and figured I might as well post my own situation and so what everyone has to say, as the help is appreciated.I have to take a drug test on Wednesday 6/16, and the last day that I smoke a bowl was 6/2. Of course over Memorial day weekend it was 3 bowls each day (Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon) prior to that, I would say that I am just a casual smoker. 4 times a week, one bowl. Just like to smoke a bowl at night to relax. I am sure you all understand. So I started to drink a gallon of homemade tea for the past 3 days. I guess the reality of the drug test is setting in. I mix a bit of green tea in there and a bit of cranberry. I have been going to the bathroom all the time, which I know is good. My metabolism is good and I am average build. By the time I take the test it will be about 2 weeks since I last smoked. I have heard some here talk about their own remedies, but have not seen any real receipe to follow. All help would be greatly appreciated. ![]() |

| a good home remedy is water and abstaining lol. But in reality, you are a great candidate for dilution. There is no real recipe for this; water, water, and more water, or powerade if you wish since it contains an ample amount of vitamins to help color your urine. Eating fiber helps too; I would also gear your diet toward a low fat type of diet; I would do this in order to not cause a collection of fat in your system over the next week or so. The day of the test, you should void a few times before the test; also, you should consider giving a midstream sample if you can by which you first urinate into the toilet, then into the cup, then the rest into the toilet. If you plan on diluting, I would also suggest putting in about 1/4 tsp of salt per 16-32 ounces you drink to help keep your specific gravity up. Creatine helps as well; this needs to be done about 3-4 days prior in order for your body to build the levels up in your urine and allow for creatine breakdown into creatinine. Exercise is a good call, but given your time constraints, it is not really necessary since you need time to build up your metabolic rate. Also, I would get a home test and test yourself a day or two before the real test in order to give yourself an idea of how clean your body is. Test yourself with the home test without much dilution and test yourself in the afternoon or evening; never test the first urine of the day. Well, that is about it; if you don't want to do this, you can always substitute, which is a lot easier and foolproof; you can get synthetic if you want to or you can get a sample from a friend the day of the test, just make sure the temperatures are in check (90 degree range.)

| melanotaenia: Thank you soooo much for all the words of wisdom! ![]() I am just soo worried, and I don't want to be. My Father and Brother swear by over the counter stuff (I am 32 yo, but born to hippies, and they are what I consider chronic smokers, hence why I said I was more a casual). I just don't like "wasting" the money, ya know. I did "waste" the money on a home kit, that was so vague although it says it is 94% accurate. The top line was nice and clear and the bottom was very, very very faint and you need two lines for a negative. (LOL) gues I am just a worry wart...but I will drink the water and gatorade and keep up with the green tea. Thanks again!!!! ![]() |

| CT, the 'over the counter' stuff does work, but if you read the dilution guidelines linked to in my signature, you'll see that the only thing we have against over the counter magic potions is $$$. You may want to also check out substitution. It is also linked to in my signature. It is 100% effective and there is no need to change your lifestyle. If you don't know anyone to supply you with clean free pee, and remember age or sex of the doner doesn't matter, substitute urine products are available on line and at most head/hemp shops. Hope that helps. N2

| hi again guys!..... ![]() I am so sorry for not understanding all the terminology, but melanotaenia what does "the day of the test, you should void a few times before the test;". I bet you are laughing at me, but I have no idea what you mean by void a few times before the test?? I have a million ideas, but I think it might be better if I simply ask..... N2, I don't want to substitute cuz I am flying out of town to meet the big top ppl at the headquarters and than going to the lab for the drug test. So I do not want to get caught in the airport with a shampoo bottle resting in my bra or elsewhere for that matter for the whole flight!! So I am going to try your method and hope for the best! I have drank sooo much tea that all I do is run to the bathroom every hour. I have mixed some cranberry in there and will do the gatorade/powerade as well. Thanks for all the help!!! cherishtoday |

| I think I might know what "void" means now, after reading a few more post. also, what do you think of AZO pills to color your urine? Do you recommend the B vitamin or multivitamin just for color? I do take a multivitamin every day, and have calcium pills, so can I take the calcium pills instead of TUMS?? cuz TUMS are icky! As you can see I am getting a little bit more worried as the weekend progresses, and the test is on Wed.. plus with the flight at 6 am, it worries me about the time restraints on the your f ormula for success.... thanks again... cherishtoday |

| hehe tums are icky I agree...........but what I mean by void is urinating; i just say void because it is more "non-nasty" but it is the same thing as peeing. You want to "urinate" as much as you can prior to the test to dilute your urine. You can take b-vitamins if you want to color your urine; don't use the AZO. But you can get the same effect from powerade which contains b-complex vitamins. If you are drinking water, take the b-vitamin, if you are drinking powerade, I would not worry about it. Also take some aspirin about 1/2 hour before the test to help cause a false negative. Hope that helps P.S. I am not laughing at you but I agree, no one wants to walk around with a bottle in their bra all day long1 ![]() |

| CT, void = urinate = peepee = tinkle ... LOL! Drinking excess fluid now will not help. It is drank in the hours before the test. As for carrying a substitute urine product, you can carry a bottle of Quick Fix in your pocket. It has no metal, so no airport buzzers will go off and a physical body search is not allowed without cause, soooo. QF is available at many head/hemp shops. You can use the online store locater or order it online. Here is the link. http://www.urineluck.com/products.cfm If you still choose to dilute, I highly recomend you do Creatine loading for 3 days prior to diluting. Creatine metabolises into creatinine and is the primary indicater of a dilute sample in the urine validity check. If you haven't yet, read the dilution and substitution guidelines linked to in my signature under my post. Any questions?, just post them. N2 |

| oh yeah N2 I almost forgot! Creatine Creatine and more Creatine...anything to help build it up in your urine to help keep you urine in the validity range; now that I have gotten a chance to read more medical charts I have found that they are very concerned with creatinine content in the urine for basis of validity of the urine. Of course subst would still be an option as N2 pointed out, but the temperature thing could present more of a problem since she is traveling and interviewing etc and may not have time to bring the temps up before the urine screen.....but Alas it is still an option and I would still consider it if you want to take that route. And yes, dilution the days before does nothing; while you should consume a recommended amount of water per day (6 16 oz glasses) the surplus amounts will do little, if anything, to help pass the test. Plus it can be a pain to pee pee all the time on a plane lol. I wish you so much luck and positive karma on your test!!!! |
