I have not smoked since April, making it almost 3 months. Before this I was a very heavy smoker, smoking every day for many years. I am also very overweight.

I have to take a drug test within the next week. I took a first check test this morning for 4 drugs. I took this with my first pee of the day. There was a faint line there for THC, much fainter than the other 3 lines for other drugs. I went out right away and purchased another test, this one to test for THC. I tested negative, this time a much darker line.

I have been reading posts on this board and am kind of freaking out now because it seems the first test might be more accurate, it being my first pee of the day. I had not drank anything in the time between the two tests. Do I have anything to worry about?

I am really begging for some advice here. I have read alot of useful information on this site, and I really do apologize for asking anything that might be duplicated. I have read a few contradictory information, and it is really making me freak out more.

I know that a faint line is still a line, but it really scares me that I may not pass the actual test.

I would appreciate any advice that anyone could offer-thank you

It will be very close for you. Normally marijuana clears from a chronic smoker's system within 90 days, but you being overweight might be extending that time period. I would say right now you have about a 50 percent chance of passing, but if you drink about 5-6 glasses of water a few hours before your test and take a b vitamin or two, I think you'll have an 80-90 percent chance of passing. You seem to be very close to extracting all of the THC from your system, so I think you have a pretty good chance.

Thanks for your advice. I have got to say, it is not quite what I wanted to read though!! Even if I got a negative from the two First Check tests I took, I still have only about a 50percent chance to pass huh?

There was just a faint line with the first test, but still a line. The second test that I took about an hour later showed a much deeper line. I am going to take another test first thing tomorrow to see what happens. It is so important that I pass this test.

Thanks again for your response-

Quite frankly, I believe you have a better than 50% chance of passing the test. Contrary to previous advice in this thread, I do not think you need to drink 5-6 glasses of water. Depending on the time you drink the water and the size of the glasses, you would risk a diluted result. The vitamin only colors your urine yellow (neon), it does nothing for the integrity of the urine itself.

Your first pee of the day came back negative (twice). That is a very good sign. Just drink enough so you can be ready to urinate when you arrive at the clinic. To be well hydrated, you could drink no more than 20 ounces of gatorade within the preceding 1-1/2 hours before your test time. This will ensure you will be ready to pee and you won't have a diluted result. If your test is in the afternoon, drink steadily throughout the day at a rate of no more than about 12 ounces per hour. That would be more than enough to ensure you pee often enough to quell concerns of any residual THC in your urine. Sports drink is best, but any non-caffeinated (sp?) drink will do. Even milk will add to the urinary output.

Whatever you do, DO NOT PANIC and over hydrate. Follow my advice here and you should be just fine.

p.s. I have no idea why the little "?" is in the title of this post. Just ignore it, I guess.

Thanks again for your advice. This is a great site, with some really great support & information! Great job everyone!!
