Drug-tested for hte first time.
 

harro, i lurked around OOT at my old work before getting laid off and subsquently have been offered a new job. A lot of guys around here have experience w/drugs and hopefully passing drug tests for the corporate drug nazis.

Just a little background, i've stopped smoking weed on a regular basis, BUT i've probably toked once or twice in the past 30 days. In any case, there's not much in my system but there potentially could be. Anybody have recommendations for masking whatever little THC i have in my system? FWIW, my new job will be for one of the major banks in NYC.

Thanks OOT.

The day of the test drink as much water as possible. There are tons of products for sale, its probably best to take one of these in addition just to be safe.

If its a hair test, then start worrying.

I have always heard the best way to get stuff out of your system is to sweat it out so maybe start working out really hard for a few days.

Google is your friend.

thx pops.

Re: Drug-tested for hte first time.
 

once or twice in the past 30 days? a couple glasses of water before the test and you should be fine.

it really depends what level they test for - 50 ng/ml and you're probably fine w/o doing anything. 20 ng/ml and you may or may not need to water down a bit. if you're really worried, buy the stuff and follow the directions. they also sell it at vitamin shoppe, gnc, etc.

fwiw, my brother-in-law once got randomly tested after smoking the night before, drank a bunch of water beforehand, and just barely failed at 52 ng/ml when the cutoff was 50 ng/ml. another time, he was randomly tested, again after just smoking the night before (you'd think he would learn his lesson) and passed by putting 3 drops of visine in his sample.

moral of the story: piss tests are easily beatable.

Let's hope the test doesn't involve spelling 'the'

Yeah, cuz I haven't taken and passed 7 drug tests, not to mention god-knows-how-many hours of research, or all the other people I've successfully helped pass drug tests, or anything. I should be OOT's Resident Drug Czar. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Man why are your posts almost always so negative, anyway? [sarcasm]You must be a real fun person to hang out with.[/sarcasm] You may have to be my 1st ever use of the "ignore this user" feature.

Would you rather I lied to you or misinformed you as others have? Sorry, but the fact of the matter is that I don't care.

In my life, I'm done treating people like gold, only to get mud in return.

So to recap...

Wow, it hurts me to do this, but I agree. Quit bitching about the "corporate drug nazis" and either quit doing drugs or get a job where they don't care.

Just out of interest - being English I know of no company this side of the pond who have manadatory drug tests. Is this common policy in the U.S. now?

cranberry juice and aspirin. lots of aspirin.

cranberry flushes it out, aspirin masks.

Re: Drug-tested for hte first time.
 

vinegar will clean out your system in a pinch, since you have time it appears i would recommend the following:

lots of water
cranberry juice
pickle juice

cheap and effective

i believe thc is stored in fat cells, so run your ass around the block a bunch. i also hear this creates a small high... two birds with one stone.

a friend of mine passed a high school athletics drug test on pickle juice after quitting for about 2 weeks (could have been the two weeks). I passed one to become a substitute teacher after stopping for 8 hours and using some of the urine cleaner you can buy online or at most head shops/vitamin stores. I also have heard tell that a touch of salt placed in your piss can throw off the calibration and allow you to pass.
If you are worried buy the stuff you drink right before you take the test.

Re: Drug-tested for hte first time.
 

drink a few gallons of cranberry juice. When's the test? If it's soon and you drink a shitload of juice or water your test will probably come back with an error due to high water content in the blood or whatever. You won't fail but it will basically show that you've been drinking a ton and you'll probably have to take it again. If it's not for a few days drink a ton of cranberry juice today and tomorrow and cut back the day before and the day of test.

Re: Drug-tested for hte first time.
 

couple of questions first. How much do you weigh, and what kind of athletic shape are you in. The faster your metabolism, the sooner weed gets out of your system. If you are in good shape and are athletic then you might not even need anything. I wasn't in the best shape when I was in an out patient rehab I drank nearly two gallons of water a day for a week and passed the test, and I drank so much water that my creatine level was a little on the low side. This was after spending two weeks getting really baked and a Phish show. So, I wouldn't trip so much if I were you considering how little you've smoked recently.

This is true. THC is stored in fat.

I love also how conservative-types support drug testing, getting busted, etcetra yet always espouse personal freedoms. Keep the hypocrisy coming, guys.

Re: Drug-tested for hte first time.
 

There's really no way to get it out of your system any faster, so forget that. You'll get a lot of bunk andecdotal evidence here, because like lots of things there's some randomness involved and selective memory makes people swear by things that have no cause and effect.

If its been a couple weeks and you didn't do very much, you will probably be alright. More habitual users tend to have it stay detectable longer.

From what I've read, drinking a [censored] ton of water right before will work almost 100% - it won't give a negative result, though, it will just come back as untestable. They will know what you did and will probably report it to your employer. This is useful if you are borderline, though, because it helps to stall for time (before you have to re-test).

I think you will have a better luck with putting foriegn substances into the sample than you will with any stuff you are supposed to ingest before you take the test. They will ask you to empty your pockets before you go in, but they won't pat you down so you can easily sneak a small bottle (in the military someone actually watches you peeing and sealing the bottle!). I've heard that visine will actually work.

Finally, not all employers will immediately say no if there's a small amount, especially weed. Your employer will have the levels, so if its really low you may not be entirely out of luck. If you fess up after getting caught (and maybe agree to do some bullshit conseling or something) you may still be able to get the job.

good luck.

my friend has a system he uses, he smokes dank headdies like every day up until the morning of his test, then takes a concoction of pills including vitimin B and asprin and drinks shitloads of water, i dont know what else he takes, but im sure if you do some research you will be able to find something that works

Re: Drug-tested for hte first time.
 

Take the B vitamin to put some color back into your pee. Also, whatever you do don't let the first rush go into the cup. That is where the highest concentration will be.
