I have found this site amazing so THANK YOU!!!

Here's the deal, I am in my early 30's, Quit smoking on April 28 but on the 3rd of July (like an idiot) smoked about half a small j. Before that I smoked about 1 oz. per month for a long time (4 years). I have a pre-employment test on the 22 of July. I don't excersise all that much but have started (today). I weigh 155 and am 5 feet 9 inches. I drink a ton of Coca Cola, is that good or bad? Also a ton of water. do you think I will be cool??? Please advise I am freaking???

First, don't freak! You have plenty of time! Second, the exercise is a good call, just remember to stop the day before your test date. Junk the coca cola and stick to water instead, it is good for the body when you are exercising. THe next couple weeks, eat fiber and low fat foods; since you are going to be exercising you can drink 6-16oz glasses of water per day and you will be in good shape. If you are planning on using your own urine and not diluting, then I would consider diluting the day of the test just to be safe. You do not have to really overdo it since you have been pretty clean for a good amount of time and only used once. Maybe about 80oz of powerade the day of the test should be sufficient. The powrade helps to keep your urine colored yellow. You are not that overweight now to begin with so your fat cell content should be lower than most, which will work in your favor in terms of detox times.

Try to stay away from drinking alcohol too much the next couple weeks, fatty foods, and lots of sugar.

Cheers and good luck. I suggest getting a home test maybe two or three days before your deadline, to set your mind at ease........

Oh yeah..............welcome to Marijuana.com!

ok, im having much the same problem as a couple of people.. i have a job interview next tuesday, so i assume i will be getting a drug test either that day or maybe a couple days after. i smoked this past friday (july 2), and before that i smoked once or twice in the month of june. is there anyway i could prepare to pass a drug test in.. 10 days or less, or would it be a waste of time?
i usually run 3 miles 4 times a week, and drink about 3-4 16oz bottle of water a day, if that helps at all....

There is no doubt that excersize shortens the time it takes to detoxify. About all I can add to what Mel said is do a home test 3 days before your employment test. Then decide, if you need a course of action, whether to dilute or substitute. Hope that helps. N2

Does smoking cigs affect my chances of being clean???? What do you think my chances are of being good even if I don't "play" with the test??? I am trying to take your advise but still freaking slightly. : (

Thanks again I sooo appreciate your guidence. I am clueless!

Tobacco smoke will not effect a drug test for SoB's ( OK, that's Substances of Abuse) N2

There has been some evidence that cigarettes up your metabolic rate (nicotine) but in the long run I don't think it is significant enough to really make a difference either way.

IMO, since you are trying to rid your body of toxins like THC, it would probably be a good idea to try and stay away from toxins until after your test. I know, easier said than done, but in the whole grand scheme of things, I agree with N2, probably negligible difference, if any (do a search on the 'net and I am sure you will find some papers that describe the body and the effect nicotine and tobacco have on the metabolism)

irishguy

I know this is a horrible question BUT from your experiences, do you think I will be cool (doing excercise/drinking water) given the info I stated above? I am VERY concerned that I will pass and soooo regret being so dumb. Any guidence is appreciated (again)!!! Sorry to bea pain but worried...

irishguy, I try not to make guess's. IMO, with your smoking history, you will be near or just below the 50ng/ml level if you continue to abstain until July 22nd. But a home test is far more accurate than even the best guess. N2
