Okay, so, I take a urine screen Monday. I've been clean for somewhere around 40-50 days. I just took a First Check home THC test and passed (50/ng ml) - First piss of the day. I can't help but to still be worried due to so much riding on this job.

In the past I have always subbed. This will be the first urinalysis I've been clean for. The job is a very safety sensitive position and a Hair Test scare is what made me decide to totally quit. Thankfully it's just a piss test at the same facility I've always taken them - No watcher, etc etc.

I'm still very tempted to dilute, sub, and waste more money on home tests just to be sure it wasnt a fluke. What's your advice? Thank you for giving me some of my sanity back until I actually start.

Edit -

Daily Smoker for years. (= or >.5 grams per day)
5'8" 155lbs - Fast Metabolism
Not very active during quit (my fault)->>Still fast metabolism
Quit Date - February 19, 2007
Very low usage week prior to Feb. 19th
Moderate to good diet during quit.
Test Type (Pre-Empoyment)
Home Test Type - First Check Marijuana Only - 50ng/ml (First urine of day)

Shit dude, don't sweat it. There's a control line which means its not a fluke, and thats a damn bold line. Just don't mess around and smoke until you've got your first cheque or two and you'll be okay.

If you know you have to take a drug test at any point in the future quit smoking! Read the stickies and never start up again until you're completely in the clear, you never know if you might have to retest due to an error.
If in doubt, ask yourself this question: What's more important, getting out of the mess you're in or getting high?

Haha, it's hard NOT to sweat it. I don't care if I hadnt smoked in a year, I feel like a smoker. Hell, I've traveled multiple times to another continent with the sole intention of smoking hash!

For some reason, words of relief coming from this site is helping with my anxiety of taking the test. Like I said before, I've always subbed in the past and this will be my first test in over 12 years that I actually produce the specimen. Hell, for that matter, it will be the first specimen I've EVER given! Thanks for the reply

Sec

If I gave you that test and your test had that result, I would pass you, no problems. You are negative. no worries.

Wonderful, so the "pros" actually use litmus / stip style tests as well? Thank you all so much for helping me ease my mind!

Can/does the thickness (boldness) of the T line on a home test hint that a lab might refer the sample for further screening?

I have "passed" each of my home tests but the line is always very faint.

Thanks.

Sec

If the line is present, why would we waste our and the employer's money sending it to a lab? Any line that can be photocopied is there and is a negative drug screen result.

Thanks a bunch.

When I saw the other poster's "full bold" T result, I started wondering if I should be concerned.

But then I found another post last night (maybe from you, but I don't remember) that said such a thin line - even if sent to a lab - would yield a negative as well. So it looks like I'm good.

Thanks for all the help!
