For example, a donor might test positive for amphetamines. The GC/MS can determine whether it was methamphetamine or some prescription medication causing the positive.
im not sure i understand that....

so how long until i get under 15ng...

if I even need to?

Check out the search feature and type in "half-life of THC" If you know where you are at now, you can figure about when you will be able to pass the screen and therefore never go to the GC/MS

ok.. i searched the half life but i dont see how that answers my question.


My test is "supposed" to be the second week in January... today is Dec. 16th...

I stopped using for a month... then took two tokes last week on the 9th....

havent blazed since then... I tested myself with the first leak of the day today and had a faint line.. which is a Pass I guess..on what im assuming is a 50ng home test.

so around 25 more days untill the test which could be a 15ng very possibly... since im clean I will say that I am a Longshoremen and the union is giving the test, to be elevated to a higher position...but if I fail. IM DONE FOR. I am always driving 27 ton loads around, and have people around me's life basically in my hands.. which Ive heard other Transportation type jobs have 15ng cut offs.

anyways.... im going to keep working out but do see any conclusive info that says ill pass a 15ng by then... the closest i saw was 30 days to pass 50ng.. and 60 days to pass 15ng... which isnt good for me.

should I be considering slightly diluting for this test to be sure... If I come up diluted I get to retake the test....ssooooooooo

any help would be appreciated.

again 5'9ish 165lb ish

If you stop using now, and do not use again until after your test, then you wouldn't need to do anything like dilution or substitution to pass your test.

I don't understand why, if you know you are clean, and you know you have a drug test coming up, do you continue to use pot? Then, come here and act all confused about how you could possibly clean out before your next test. Just stop using pot, until all your testing is done, and you won't ever have to worry about failing a drug test.

Jah-Red, do you understand how the process works? Immunoassay then confirmation by GC/MS? I think you are getting everything messed up. Also, listen to Sec3, if you keep smoking it isn't going to matter which cutoff these use.

basically becaused im upsessed with it.... AND because there has never really been a set date for my test... it could possibly be March also... So i just find an excuse to use...

I guarantee I wont use untill i test again... but its

Very hard when all my friends get irie all the time infront of me, and I am also becoming an alcoholic because of refraining from it... Basically quitin has messed up my life outside of work.. I was in a up and commin Reggae band just rescently opened up for Ziggy Marley and Groundation aswell as other huge bands...........and I quit, for 13 years i have used herb to metitate to music,,, and havent used very much for the last 4 months and my attitude towards "that culture" almost has me bitter.

say what you want about it not being addictive..but everyone is different and I am truley mentally addictive.. .Every day thats all I can think about, since i cant do it right now.

i think im doing a pretty good job ,,, yes one slip up ,, but Im not confused, just trying to be safe after i gave in to my temptation.

I just had one in the hair test forum too. They want to keep smoking and keep getting advice on how to get out of it. Sooner or later they will fail. How can you keep wasting time on someone that don't want to help themselves?
