Male, 38, 6ft 220lbs - chronic heavy user 4+ times per day for over 20 years. KGB bongrips typical.

Ok - currently I am a contractor for a large healthcare group. NO TESTING as a contractor.

I am in-flight to receive a Full Time position. Position is super lucrative, big six figure with all the benes.

I had some forewarning and knew the testing would be mandatory. I thought I did it right. Let me be clear I want to do this the old fashioned way if possible – no dilution, substitution, pills, creams or slaves; this is the healthcare industry after all and if they get a whiff of something fishy a hair test will ensue.
It has been 28 days of total abstinence. Even cut alcohol use to a minimum to best facilitate detox. I ate good foods, took some aspirin and vitamins everyday. Busted some sweats when I could (but I work a lot.)
Got a reputable home 12 panel kit just to see if any other false positives would be triggered by my lifestyle somehow ( but the ganja is my only vice) Passed the test – two lines on each panel.
Just to be super killer sure, I did a walk-in at the local lab for a UA. I am feeling good, passed the home test, clear mind – knew I was going to pass. Failed.
WTF – how much longer? What can I do? OMFG

 

Sec

Keep on doing what you are doing. I am very surprised you failed. You can go back to the company (local UA place) and get your levels if it was sent to a laboratory. The levels of THC in your urine will give you a really good idea as to whether you are close to the cutoff level or not.

I have a feeling that you took your home test after you drank some fluids. Maybe around noon or late afternoon. When you took the test at the local facility, you probably were a bit more dehydrated than you were for the home test. That was the difference.

IF you are called to take the test for the employer, just make sure you are well hydrated. (not over hydrated, but that you can pee readily when asked).

WTB SEC - Thanks

I took the home test at about 11 am, I think 3rd pee. I took the lab test at 12 noon and it was for sure the 2nd pee, I held it in the car on the way there. I had had at least 1 good sized sports type bottle of water each time but don’t remember if I had more on the home test.

I looked at the home test specs and the lab sheet I got. Maybe the lab test was stronger?

Home test 50 ng/ml
Lab test 15 (U) QL

They asked me if I wanted to submit the specimen to Quest for further screening - but offered that I failed and there was no reason to spend the extra cash. I decided against it.

My boss knows I'm a lifetime burner and we have burned together - We are now dragging our feet hoping to prolong the inevitable, and as a backup are prepared to institute a "family emergency" if necessary. That should buy me like two weeks.

I went to the Chinese medicine doctor and got some detox tea. Looks like red figs, lotus seeds, a few types of sticks and ginger that I have to boil for an hour. Tastes like crap, must be good for me - ;>

Others have mentioned some lemon detox diet (fasting)

Any other words of wisdom out there?
