Hi,

Gave a urine sample as part of a medical last week. Had smoked a joint 48 hours before (test was not expected !). Urine was swabbed and came up with a 'blue' result. Doctor didnt say anything, but clearly did a double-take on the swab, and checked the 'colour codes' on the packet to see what it meant. It may be a complete red herring, but there is at least a reasonable chance the swab was showing positive for pot.

Now, it may be that I will need to redo this test to show a clear result. Is now 5 days since that joint, and have been drinking lots and doing a lot of exercise. Is the 'it stays in your system for 6 weeks' a fact or any urban myth ? i.e. am I likely to be pretty much OK now ?

If I am OK now then I will store a urine sample in case I need to redo - the testing procedure is very slack so I will easily be able to substitute - I guess remembering to heat it up slightly in the microwave before I go would be good ! On the other hand, I can get a sample from a mate who hasn't smoked for ages. But, can they tell that the urine samples from last week and the one from someone else are actually from different people - or is the testing not that sophisticated ?

Sorry for vague nature of message - but any thoughts appreciated.

FTR

It can stay in your system for months depending on weight and frequency of smoke. A documented case on here I saw was 4 months for a 400lb man. Be aware of your detox time

If you have a friend who is clean, you can use his urine, and freeze it for use up to a year after it is given to you, but make sure you freeze immediately after you get it to avoid spoilage.

They cannot tell anything about the sample in terms of age, gender, or identifiable markers; any urine from a human should be fine as long as they are healthy.
