| Hey guys, As of 3/16/08 I was a heavy smoker (several times per day). That same day, in anticipation of a drug test about a month from then (~4/16/2008), I abruptly stopped smoking completely (honestly). I haven't been around second-hand smoke and have not had ANY weed whatsoever. I weigh about 190 lbs. am about 5'9, have an average metabolism, I guess. I donated blood the other day thinking that it would help (I read something that said it helps to purify your system) and don't anticipate the urine test for at least 3 weeks from TODAY. I have been exercising a moderate amount and I would assume the threshold for my test is about 0.20 ng/ml because it is a medical-type job. Is there anything I should be doing for the next three weeks? I smoked a heavy amount and then stopped and left myself 30 days to detox. I read anywhere from 7-30 days for heavy smokers, 7-60 days and even up to 90 days which is when I got somewhat nervous. If I really don't smoke for the next three weeks and continue to exercise a few times a week, will I be below that threshold? I WOULD NOT feel comfortable substituting or diluting. Is there anything I should be from GNC or Vitamin Shoppe that could help me? Comments are appreciated. Last edited by willnyc : 03-25-2008 at 03:51 PM. |

| The only thing that will help is exercise and time. Quit exercising aobut 3-4 days prior to your test. Get some home tests so you can see if you are able to pass before you take the employment test. Just because it is for a hospital or medical facility, doesn't mean they test at lower levels. You are probably having the same standard test everyone else has. |

| After just 10 days of not smoking, I went to my doctor to get a urine test and he informed me that I just BARELY tested positive. His test is 0.50 ng/mL which is about the standard. He said I was most likely between 0.50 and 0.55 ng/mL. He was amazed that after being a heavy and chronic smoker that after just ten days I would be barely positive. I am worried though, despite your comment, that my job might have a more rigid threshold. |

| Is there any way to find out your job's threshold without giving yourself away? |

| i found that drinking coffee or tea every morning for at least 2 weeks or drink a cup of water every few hours during the day for 1 week at least could get it too. i wonder if chocolate milk helps??? ^_^ |

| I would assume that to be quite possible because coffee is a diuretic so it makes you piss a lot more. Will consider that as well. Anything from GNC that I should buy? |

| I have found that coffee has been quite the helper in my days staying clean. I've been clean since February 23rd and I have my drug test this week for my job. Before that I smoked everyday at least a bowl or two. Since I stopped, I increased my exercise, doing much more sweating, and following Sticky's dilution guidelines. I have a quick metabolism so I burn fat much more quickly. I bought an at home drug test and used it two weeks into my sobriety and passed. Exercise is definitely your best friend in cleaning your system. |

| can't even believe you're worried about a 3 week interval... i smoked with 3 other kids on a 2 g blunt last week and am thinkin of finishing with a .2-3 clip tonight with a test next week not really worried. went into pti today and my lady was off and some guy took care of me today and told me i didnt have to test today i was pretty happy. he said she's off next week though hahah so im a lil tempted now dunno if hes gonna test me or not i kinda doubt it tho he seemed kinda chill i talked him up a bit today tried to seem pretty normal and confident. anyway i think im rambling i cant tell, sorry... good luck i wouldnt worry a fucking thing if i were you though just stop smoking asap dont do what i did and wait til the night before to stop then drink a clense that might not even have worked. |
