Hey All...Been lurking for a while, figured it was high-time I asked something that may be useful to someone. For starters, I am a middle aged male, 6'5" tall and about 240lbs. I smoked nearly daily for 12 years and then quit in late October. After 28 days without a single toke, I took a physical for a job and passed. After passing said test, I went over to a buddy's house and took one, single, solitary toke. Said toke was of some rather heavy-duty greens and it is safe to say that I most indeedly felt it. Went to bed early, had a headache the next morning, the whole 9 yards. I will be tested again for the company sometime between 6 and 24 days from now. Since then (and even before then), I had started a routine of more physical activity, cranberry juice, niacin supplments, liver-cleanse pills and LOTS of water. My question is, how much jeopardy did that single toke put me in? I know that I can go out and get a First-Check at-home test, but at $13.95 a pop, I sort of wanted to wait until I had a better chance of passing it. In finality, I was wondering if I could get some opinions on how high up the "nanogram-ladder" I put myself by taking that toke, and any suggestions on how to climb down said ladder more quickly would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you don't smoke anymore between now and the test, you will probably be OK. Your best bet would be a home test. We can all set here and guess and say this statistic says........this study points to....... and so on. As sec3 has said over and over. Every body is different. A home test is always your best bet to know for sure. Good luck.

Every thing but the physical activity is worthless. Add some soluble fiber to your diet though, 12- 15 grams a day. At 6'5" 240 I am trying to figure out if that is about average and I am guessing you a just a little on the large size but not fat or obese (215 is upper range of ideal body weight for that height I think) so I am thinking that you probably are still dirty after 12 years of smoking by a few more days. That is what I would worry more about than the 1 hit, the 12 years and only 28 days clean.

Thanks for your help, boobs and onetoke. After being clean for 26 days, I passed the at-home test (after 12 years of daily smoke), and then passed the clinic's test two days later. I read the horror stories and thought I would be dirty for months as well, but they passed me! In regards to the one toke, some people I have asked have said that it's basically the same as if Id gone out and sucked down an ounce, and a few other people have told me that just ONE toke will go away in a small handful of days. Not that it matters, but said one toke produced about 90% paranoia and 10% high, albeit VIVID paranoia and high, so I think Im done either way. I guess I should go lift some weights and run for a while now.

I read your post several times because you said physical and then said you were getting a drug test. I thought at first they were giving you 2 tests and I thought why would they do that so I came to the conclusion that you didn't know at the physical if you would be tested and prepped for it but didn't get a test. I should have gone with the first instinct. Why the 2 drug tests?

The people who compared one ounce to one toke are nuts. Does that really make any sense, that if you ingest many milligrams of THC that it would take just as long for your body to get rid of it as it would a fraction of a milligram with one toke?

The field Im going into requires governmental health clearance, which includes a test. Upon being hired by a company in said field (which will hopefully come AFTER being hired, and not DURING training), another pre-employment test is given. I dont know that for certain, but it seems to be standard in said industry.

Mr_JG

And yes, I agree that it only seems logical that the 0.0001 grams I smoked would have far less THC than multiple grams.

You have that backwards. I have got 90% of the people I've met high and caused paronia in only about 10%.

If you go online and search you can get dip stick tests very cheep. I think I got a half dozen for about $18. I don't want to name any companies and get this thrown in the tank. I got mine via fed ex in about 3-4 days. Done very discreetly.
