I have read many posts saying that since THC is stored in the fat cells, it takes around 2 weeks to a month to get rid of it and its metabolites. However, I did some looking around on Wikipedia here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_test

...and found out that one-time users get rid of THC and metabolites in 1-3 days (see table in article). I've only smoked 5 times (4 getting high; apparently, I smoked an average amount each time) every weekend--in other words, every time I smoked, the THC and metabolites from my last smoke--according to the article--should have already been eliminated from my system, as there were at least 5 days in between each smoke.

So, can I count myself as someone whose body can clear the stuff out of its system in 3-4 days, or am I considered a "frequent user" who may take up to 84 days to get rid of the chemicals? (I've abstained for six days now.) Compared to the apparent horde of fit people in here, I'm pretty normal/unhealthy: I'm 18, 5'11", 195 lbs, and at last testing (around one year ago) my BMI was 26% body fat. I don't exercise regularly or even occasionally.

Is this Wikipedia information accurate? (In the talk section it's mentioned that most of the information came from someone with a Ph.D. in forensic toxicology, although I'm not sure this is true.)

Could I pass without having to resort to dilution/substitution?

I've seen several posts stating that their home drug tests were negative at first, positive the next, etc.; will a drug test from Walgreen's, the only pharmacy in my area, be sufficiently reliable/accurate? If so, which test should I buy?

If I do have to dilute (substitution is out of the question), is it possible to go on the cheap and simply drink 1 to 1.5 gallons of water to achieve at least a diluted negative, or do I have to follow N2's somewhat cumbersome regimen of aspirin, vitamin B-2, creatine, etc. to be sure that they can't detect anything (even in a diluted negative)?

The article says that some tests can detect test-beating substances; would these added substances show up on my diluted sample and red-flag it for further examination?

I've read some posts that say asparagus has a good yellowing effect; is this true? If I'm in a time crunch, could I simply take most of the substances all at once with a helluva lot of water a day/few hours before the test?

Does eating a lot of high fat foods a few days before the test really help?

They never told me what kind of test they'll use; will dilution work on blood or saliva tests?

I was told by my employer that everyone is granted one drug test rescheduling...what would the the best non-suspicious excuse that gives the most extra time possible?

I know this may seem like another paranoid post, but this job is really important to me and I can't afford not to ask...in fact, I may even have more questions in the future (sorry!)

Please help ASAP! I'm desperate and in a bit of a time crunch! Any help would be tremendously appreciated...

Cumbersome?????? The instructions for the Dilution method to pass are half as long as your post asking how to pass. If you follow the instructions carefully, it will help your chances of passing. If you do nothing, what do YOU think your chances are. I know what I would to.

Well, I was just wondering because I have a roommate who is home most of the time and I don't know his attitudes about pot (probably against). I just don't want to be caught walking through the door with a strange mix of aspirin, vitamin B-2, and creatine. Plus, on my budget, every dollar is precious...

Thanks, but I still need answers to the other questions!

Every BODY is different. I know of someone (personally) who smoked once per week (every Sat. nite). It took him 4 full weeks to receive a negative on an instant drug test. Then I read here about someone who is a daily smoker passing after only 3-4 days of abstaining.

The Walgreens home test will be fine. If you see a line (no matter how faint) in the "T" area of the test, you should pass a pre-employment drug test from the employer. You will either have to chance it or take a home test and know. The choice is yours.

So there's no chance that the same test taken again will list me as positive (as described on other threads?)

A second home test can show up positive. Like was stated before, every body is different. Some people can test negative one day, then test a a day or few days later and it shows up positive because your body is possibly excreting more THC metabolites when the second test was taken or because they tested at different times of the day. It pretty much depends on how much is stored in your fat cells (what kind of a "user" you are, i.e., occasional or chronic), how much body fat you have, if you do or don't exercise and, of course, when you home test yourself (ALWAYS test with the first morning's void -- that is where some people run in to issues of one day the home test was negative and the next time it was positive.)

Ahh, I see...thanks!

Still curious about the other stuff though...

I didn't say that.
Nothing is 100%. A false positive on a home test is very rare. A false negative on a home test is even more rare. It does happen sometimes. If the distributor does not care for the tests properly (lets them freeze, get too warm or allows them to become outdated), this adds to the percentage of defective tests.

What has been advised on other threads is to purchase a different brand from another supplier to be as close to 100% as possible. Some people may have tested themselves at different times of the day after drinking differing amounts of fluids, inadvertently diluting themselves enough to give a different result. Still others may have purchased a "bad" test.

This type of occurrance is rare. If you do decide to use two different tests. be sure to use the same urine for both of them, or use the urine from different days, but taken from the same time of day. Preferably the first urine of the morning. It will be the least diluted. If you pass a home test using that urine, you should pass any test from an employer.

Think of it this way: You do nothing for a few days and eat high fat foods and then test yourself and you get a negative result. Then you exercise a good amount for a week, eat very clean and light and you test again and get a positive result. Your body (at that second point) is in fat burning mode and you are excreting THC from your fat cells and they get excreted through your urine, hence more THC in your urine as opposed to the first time when you weren't burning very much stored fat.
Again, test with the first morning's void. Like someone said to me: a few days before the real test, become a slug and eat high fat foods so your body is not burning all of its stored fat.

Thanks for the info guys; if for some reason I do have to reschedule because I test positive on both tests, what would be the best excuse that is believable and buys the most time?
