ok.....so i am a chronic smoker, female, 5'6", 140, and i have to go take a drug test in a couple days. i stopped smoking as soon as i found out, but that was only a couple days ago. ive been doing so much research but im so confused and now im panicking(sp)!!! the test is being done at a hospital and that makes me even more nervous!!

do i use a cover-up drink or do i dilute? ive been told that the drink doesnt cause a negative or a positive, its just shows "medium" and then they know you used something. ive heard dilution is obvious too. but some say i can make my pee yellow with b12. does sweating it out in a sauna help at all??

i guess i want to know if i even have a chance. and is my chance better with a cover-up drink or by drinking lots of water/cranberry juice. oh yeah, and what about fiber? metameucil??

thanks....you guys are awesome!!!!

Always depends on height, weight, and time. THC is absorbed into fat cells, then released over time. How long varies with each individual and situation. Check some past threads for the half-life of THC.

However, if you are a chronic smoker, and have only a few days clean, I would suggest subbing. You can find all of the information you need on this site in past threads. I don't think you can pass with your own urine. Dilution can not be detected and you can find all the info you need for this process, but I believe that you will be too heavily saturated for a dilution to work.

As far as the drinks and other things go. They are generally worthless. There is no "miracle potion" that will mask or remove cannabinoids from your system. The only thing that will do that is time, which as I understand it, you don't have.

Good luck, hope this helps.

A "medium" who told you this because if they are a smoker they must be blazed out of their mind and I want what they are smoking! Either you pass or you fail. If you go with dilution it is really B-2 riboflavin that you need and not B-12 to color the urine. Really though, color matters very little as it can be urine yellow and still fail or clear and still pass. Smokers subject to instant dipstick testing like the color. Exercise can help increase the elimination of THC from the body. Soluble fiber such as in Metamucil can help a little too. Drinking lots of water is useless, read my sig. Cranberry juice really is only good if you get a lot of UTI's not getting rid of THC. Sweating isn't that helpful at all.

Your best bet is subbing.

Actually, SocalPenguin dilution can be detected and is tested for. In a lab test specific gravity is always tested and creatinine clearance is sometimes tested, depending on how much money that want to spend. An ideal dilution would be one that went undetected and you pass the actual drug test. If you over dilute it can be detected and reported as a dilute sample. If they didn't test for dilution we could all just drink 2 gallons and probably pass but the look for dilution.

Boobs, I think SoCal meant the dilution method recommended in this forum. That is the way I took it anyway. Maybe it wasn't that clear, but I think that is what was meant to be said because of this part of the post. I am not picking on you, just trying to help.

ok, so i think im confused why it matters if your urine is diluted. i drink a lot of water normally and i get UTIs all the time, so its very possible that my urine is diluted from that, correct? it doesnt necessarily mean that i tried to fudge my urine test.

as for the fiber, will benefiber work the same wat metamuceil does? same sort of thing? whats the latest consensus on taking aspirin the day of the test? ive been told to chew tums or rolaids before the test too. does that have something to do with the gravity? another things i heard (there is TOO much out there) is drinking tomato juice. anyone ever heard of that?

im way too scared to use the subbing method. too worried that i wont be able to get the temp right, etc....and im so poor right now, i cant afford to go buy synthetic urine and practice a couple of times.

help me. thank you.

I haven't been a member of this board for too long. I was WAY scared when I found out that I would have to submit to a drug screen too. Do you know if your test will be observed, or unobserved? If unobserved, then subbing is the way to go.

You can practice using water, so you won't have to spend the $$$ on a synthetic just for the practice. Do you have any "clean" friends or family that would give you a "sample"? If so, then you wouldn't need the synthetic at all, just a 2 or 3oz. container to store it in. You can follow the sticky thread for tips on substitution, they're GREAT. There is also some good info about the storage and usage of real urine.

If you want to try the dilution technique, your best bet would be to purchase a home test kit at Walgreens or CVS, dilute per the instructions on this board, then test at home to check. This is the only way to check to see if dilution will work for you, but as you've mentioned, you don't have a lot of money. I'd still go with the subbing and practice, practice, practice with water. Like I said, I was scared to death as well, but after following the tips on this board and practicing for a few days, I'm now VERY confident that I will be good to go on Monday.

1toke and Boobs, I was talking about the dilution technique outlined on this board as far as going undetected. But, with so little clean time and a chronic smoking history, I'm afraid that this won't be enough for a pass in zoey's situation.

As always, good luck, hope this helps.

Sec

Just to correct one thing; Labs ALWAYS check creatinine levels along with specific gravity and nitrates. Those are standard.

You had better suck it up and learn to substitute, because I don't think you can dilute successfully. If you do manage to drink enough fluids to flood your urine with enough water so you don't test positive, you will have too much fluid in your urine and you will be found to be dilute, and probably a positive dilute.

Find a clean friend and use their urine. Practice with water. A small (2-4 ounce) plastic bottle costs about a buck and the hand warmers cost about $1.69 for a package of 3 at WalMart.

If you have money to smoke dope, you should have money to pass a drug test.

Hear hear!!!!

zoey

what about the fact that alot of people's urine is diluted simply from being healthy and normally drinking alot of water???

ive used a drink before and it worked, should i try that again?

zoey

btw...this is a pre-employment drug test, does that make a difference?
