| I am a female, 6' tall and around 200 lbs. I have moderate exercise. I have a drug test in 2 days. I am a VERY occasional smoker. The dilema is that I have an unexpected drug test/preliminary job thing. I have a very low threshold to smoke. I get STONED on a few hits. During the past month I have taken a few hits a few weeks apart...my last being about 2 weeks ago. My concern is obvious that this will show on the drug test. I read the info..and is says that it may stay in fat and show up for 2-4 days for my type of use. That would be for single incident. My question is: since it was multiple occasions, spread out over a month...and the last being 2 weeks ago.. think that would still show up? Any advise would be appreciated. |

| You should be fine without taking any special measures. Just to be sure (and it's free!) drink 24 - 36 oz. of water a couple of hours before the test and pee a couple of times before you go in.

| Damn..I hope your right. Thanks for responding. I am going to try a home kit just for additional piece of mind. It is a healthcare job, so my guess is the test will be the best out there. The idea of subbing is just to scarey for me...and I feel the consequences of getting busted doing that...well...I'd rather fail than have that happen. I am just worried because I have toked more in one month than I have in years put together...so am concerned about that build up. Thanks again. |

| Most labs will reject clear urine as "inconclusive". So if you drink a lot of water before the test, follow it up with at least 15 oz apple juice or carrot juice 1 hour prior to the test. And like the first poster said... you'll do fine, there's nothing in your situation to worry about. |

| Took home test today randomly..and passed. Have test tomorrow..and can go in anytime I want..so will choose early afternoon. Will drink lots of water and Vitamin B, and aspirin. Another question. I am on a benzodiazepine (Xanax)...and I know I will show positive for that. However, I have a legit. RX for that..so I am not so worried about that one. but, I know then it will go on for the more accurate test...... think I could pass home test but then flunk the more accurate test on the MJ? or does it just go on testing for what they found on the initial test? Anyone know specific lab procedures on that? |

| You'll be asked about any prescriptions you're taking. I'd take my Xanax bottle in with me to show them it's legit. Cutoff thresholds on home tests and lab tests are functionally equivalent. |

| Thanks Buzz...your input has helped me relax a bit, although I know I will obsess until this is over. I thought that some labs use less than 50ng's for positives. Since I know I will test positive for benzo's..I am thinking they will send it off for the GC/MS test........and isn't the threshold there a bit lower? The test kit I used said some will use lower thresholds like 15-20. Also, what do you think of the brand "First Step" in home testing? |

| Immunoassay tests (strip tests) have a cutoff of 50 ng/ml. They test for 31 different cannabinoids. The GC/MS has a cutoff of 15 ng/ml. It tests for only one cannabinoid. Even though the numbers are different the cutoffs are functionally equivalent. |
