Greetings. I am looking for work in Southern California and have not smoked or been around smoke for 89 days as of today. I was heavy-set but have been going to the gym and sweatting out as much of the toxin as possible. As a result I lost 50 pounds and have been flushing out my system regularly with water (about half gallon a day since 3 months ago). I took two different home tests last night, both of which are different brands. I came up positive on both. I am floored by the results and am astonished as to how this could be given my length of time without smoke and my exersize. What am I doing wrong. I keep hearing that people are fine after 30 solid days with out weed and here I am still positive? I was a very heavy smoker with some fat around the gut. I have lost most of the weight and haven't had a single hit. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Mel has stated before that he has seen a 400lb man that took 98 days to be clean. But that was an extreme. You may be taking something that is causing a false positive for THC. Be sure to read the sticky above about that.

yup...98 days......400lb man......about 6 months ago here on Marijuana.com....he is officially in my Guiness Book for longest time to detox....but you are not far behind.

In all seriousness, the working out you are doing is most likely dumping large amounts of meatbolites into your urine, hence the positive result.

Try an experiment; quit working out completely for 48 hours, and test yourself after 48 hours with a urine sample that you have not diluted with water, and see what your result is. My guess is that the working out, which turns fat cells over very quickly in the human body, is causing your urine to be extra concentrated with THC metabolites.

If you still test positive after the above experiment, then you probably should try some dry runs using dilution.

Good luck

Probably a good idea to eat heavily in that 48 hours too-- do what you can to go from fat burning to fat storing-- though it seems to me tht metabolism doesn't shift that quickly-- 48 hours might not do it.

Thats always been my rub with the advice to execise and burn fat--- maybe if you are like 5% body fat that is a good strategy but those carrying a little extra (or more) may actually be delaying the time they could pass by burning fat.

What if you could put your body in storage mode? Seems like if you aren't buring the fat, the metabs won't be released.

After that long a period of time I would assume you are clean, just as you assumed so I would suggest you try a few more personal tests (perhaps from other test companies). It might be that the test is having an error.

If it keeps coming up as positive, then it might be time to lay off the exercise for, I would suggest, at leastt 48 hours to perhaps five days. Give your body a chance to go into the storing system (if you are as healthy as you sound, it may take the five days for your body to start storing at an adequte level).

And if all else fails use a diluision method until for awhile until you are sure that it has passed through naturally (continue that exercise if you do this though).

Another testiment to how different everybody is in regards to this issue.
And, in my opinion, another reason to not take just anyones advise in .."am I clean" ..I've stated before, that home tests can be purchased on E=bay for like 3 bucks. Test your self. You will find different results under different circumstance. I certainly have. I have tested clean in 18 to 20 days after a binge, and tested very close to positive a couple days later.
Get to know the reasonable window of time it takes YOU.
I think I have to agree with the previous threads though, I think all the working out you have been doing have been putting (perhaps) more metabolites into your urine....you MUST be close to below cutoff levels...I also think there advise is prudent.
Please let us know how things go for you.
Peace

Ok everyone......Here it is day 103 and I am still testing positive. I went from 287 pounds to 228 pounds with the aid of a lot of excersize, water and abstinence from weed. I have laid off the excersize for three days and took a home test kit. Actually, two seperate tests from two seperate companies. I still came up 'dirty'. This is unreal and I am floored by this. My bones are indeed marinating in resin. I have taken flush capsules, milk thistle, cranberry juice and more water than any man should ever drink. What the hell is wrong with me???

B.O.W.

Diet Soda Works Every Time... Since You Are A Larger Person I Would Drink Up To 2 Liters 1/2- 1 Hour Before A Test... Urinate A Few Times Before Your Test And You Will Pass... I Drink Up To 30 - 40 Oz Of Diet Soda Before A Test And Pass Every Time... The Sugar Free Ingrediant Is So Strong It Covers Up The Pot.

Just curious, you're SURE the tests are reading a positive result? I took the Pharmtech AtHome test and at first assumed that two red lines meant I was positive but in fact two red lines were really a negative result and only one red line (test line) was a positive.

I double checked both results. I made certain my findings were positive and not negative. I really am not that big now considering I am 6' and mostly muscle at this point. I lost the fat weight and kept the muscle weight per a specific program. My metabolism is plenty high and I am just confused as can be. I mean, what the hell??? 103 days and positive? The cut-off for one test is 35 and the other is 50. If I was so upset that I cried, I feel as if I would have green tears.

I never heard of the diet soda and as I much as I can't stand drinking diet soda, I will do it, with asprin. I am absolutely amazed at this and so are my friends. I have another friend who isactually heavier than me and was my habitual smoke buddy and he is clean as can be after 55 days.

I am not around any second hand smoke, nor am I ingesting anything that could be construed as a THC false positive.

Has this happened to anyone else?
