I stopped smoking around the first of August. I didn't smoke anything the entire month thinking I would have gotten tested. August passed, no test. I wasn't sure when I would be so I didn't smoke much in September. But roughly three weeks ago(Mid-September) I took about three its off a joint and a few (three or four I think) off a bowl. Since then I haven't smoked any. I got the call today and I have a drug test tomorrow at two. Before August I was smoking pretty heavy though, but then quit cold turkey.

My question for you guys- think I'm good to go?

I've been told yes many times by friends but I need some other opinions.

OHH YEAH YOU SHOULD BE GOOD

OHH YEAH YOU SHOULD BE GOOD

I HAVE SMOKED ALMOST EVERY DAY FOR ABOUT 7-8 YEARS AND I JUST PASSED A TEST A FEW WEEKS AGO. I JUST DRINK ABOUT 1-2 GALLONS OF WATER THE DAY BEFORE AND YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS

Really depends on how much body fat you have. If you were clean when you took these isolated puffs, you're probably good to go.

My wife almost never smokes, but a few years back she did and a job prospect called back, required a drug test.

A little water and two days later passed with flying colors. My point is if your smoke is few and far between, it gets eliminated rather quickly.

Drinking large quatities of water can be pretty bad for you and can lead to hyponatremia which can be fatal. I wouldn't advise it.

Not to mention drinking it beforehand only causes unecessary suffering. THC metabolites are fat soluable, so water does nothing to remove them from your body.

The idea behind water is to dilute your urine to the point where the metabolites are undetectable or at least below the cutoff. If you're peeing clear, you should be fine. You should be able to accomplish this if you are well hydrated to begin with in 1-2 hours of drinking.

Sammet raises a good point, and you can counter this by drinking sports drink (gatorade, powerade) with a salt or electrolyte content to them as the condition sammet raises occurs due to dilution of these electrolytes.

I also tend to reach for the cranberry juice as it is a diueretic and makes you piss like no other.

The idea is to make your bladder fill up and empty at such a rate the metabolites won't be able to find their way into your output.

OH, and this may sound sick, but when I was in the system and using these methods that I preach, I'd also stick my finger into one of these clear streams and TASTE IT. Sounds gross, and is, but if your urine is good enough to give to them it should be TASTELESS.

This worked for me wonderfully, never failed and I didn't alter my smoking habits ONE BIT over weekly tests.

Some labs will actually check the salt content of your urine, along with other constituants such as creatine to see if it has been diluted, by drinking water or using water from the toilet. If this is the case, they'll want you to do another -- I've heard of this second hand but at least it won't be DIRTY.

Peace, and good luck.

Avoiding the UA

Avoiding the UA

Well yes dude i think you are fine. I really had a sim incident, i had a UA in 2 months, smoked HEAVY the first month, then stopped, and 4 weeks and I was golden. But dude umm i dunno about the water thing, not saying its wrong, but it sorta goes against science (sry to be cliche). THC is a polar molecule, and thus only polar things (like alcohol or fats or sweat) can remove it from your body. If you are pretty overweight and have high body fat content, It is possible it would take a VERY long time for your THC levels to drop below unnoticeable. If you are a person who is extremely fit, high metabolism (awesome to have if you do, everything goes away real fast), and low fat % then you will be good in a relatively short time. From what I hear lawyers and doctors tell me when I was going through all this (I now have Med. Card) was that it takes anywhere from 4-6 weeks for a heavy (dude they said heavy was 8 joints a day in this survery! LOL) smoker thats average male Aged 20-40 weight, so maybe 200-250?....

Its a gov. survery, take it what its worth, but I believe the 4 week rule and ur golden. Anywhere underneath, meh i'd say 2 weeks I'd risk it, but under 2, you gotta get a drink.

OH! and I remembered, ok dude you will hate this, but man it SAVED me when my UA got bumped early! Drink CRANBERRY juice, it does have some polar molecule in it and also cranberries help flush urinary tracts and the bodies blood combines with a amino acid (correct me if wrong!) that removes Toxins...SOOO the hippies say. But anyway heres the shitty part, if you get a gallon of this stuff, like CRANBERRY JUICE, its only 27% Fruit juice!!! SHITTY.. I drank 2 of those 1g Cranberry from like SAFEWAY before I saw that 27% crap! SOO, you may have to go to the ORGANIC section or a more upscale place, but you have to get like, CRANBERRY CONCENTRATE< its made by like NEWMAN'S. But anyway, the stuff is STRONG, prepare to literally drink the most tart/sour/sweet/ wierd thing ever, but anyway, down 2 of those bad boys (100% juice) and your good as golden.

Be wary of the guarenteed drinks. I believe that they are only useful as a last minute hitch. Like, if ur probation officer calls you randomly and asks you to come in tomorrow for UA, DRINK THAT STUFF!! Gov. UA's compared to work UA's test different things. I know friend who failed b/c he tested an ABNORMAL about of Vitamin B12, the stuff that supposedly masks THC in drinks...

Run it off fatties :) You know its good for ya!

hmmm,,longer than originally thought...

Good luck bro!

I've had experience with cranberry extract pills, and they seem to have the same diueretic effect.

Also, grassart, water is a dilution solution, I elaborated in my above post.

NO NO NO and more NO, PLEASE dont do this

Drinking water more than 2 hours before the test is POINTLESS.

Are you being tested for a job or probation? If its for a job, just drink 32 oz of water an hour before the test, try to eat some red meat, or take some creatine supplements tonight, and then tomorrow some vitamin C and B.

If it's for probation and they use instant dip test, you should be good with the previous info, however if they send it away, it might come up "dilluted" and you would have to test again, also some jobs and probation officers consider dilluted = failing.

Make sure you eat a regular amount of food tonight / tommorow, dont starve yourself, and don't do any physical activity.

You should be fine either way, if its for probation, I would recommend drinking about 24 oz's of water 1 hour before the test, The B and C vitamins will help color your urine so its not clear..

Sorry, but your friend would of failed for low levels of creatine (sp), and an abnormal PH and specific gravity, The B12 vitamins in detox drinks is to keep your urine from being clear. However, they normally have a ton of it in them and your urine comes out NEON green...well practically.

And it also does not matter really about how "fat" you are. I was 18, about 5''11 and 145 lbs. I stopped smoking, got a UA 37 days after I had stopped smoking and still failed...with moderate amounts of excercise the first few weeks after I stopped too.

I also failed a test for another substance 5 days after ingesting it, when everyone told me it would only stay in my system for 3 days...my own damn fault....I was quite young and dumb back then.

Well, it seems that I'm a bit too late, but in case you get drug tested again, just drink several cups of cranberry juice everyday for a week before the test. I have had to take several drug tests within the past year and I passed all of of them a week after smoking. I don't know if it's just my metabolism or the cranberry juice, but the cranberry juice really seems to help.
