3. Well, I can offer this advice |
|
When I was in college I applied for a badass summer internship. $500/week, company car. Helluva gig for a college student. They told me that I had been selected, I'd just need to take a physical and a drug test at the end of the spring term.
So, with great remorse, I restrained. Kept clean. Walked out of rooms at parties for fear of second hand smoke. Took the test and passed it.
Thing is, I saw the results and what they tested for. All sorts of hard stuff: Coke, meth, things I've never even heard of. And THC?
Never. Tested. For. It.
Later, I learned that it was my legal right to know what specific things they were testing for.
All I'm saying is, find out what the test will cover. And for THC, it takes at least two weeks to clear.
Oh, uh, I mean that's what a friend told me.

16. That is the best advice |
|
I did have friends in college who were pot smoker (I've never used - most folks can vouch for that) and when they finally got around to graduating and getting jobs they just kept clean for a month until after the job was secured.
There is stuff you can buy on the net but I had an ex-boyfriend fail with it (well, we really just dated - nothing serious).
So tell your friend that if the job is really worth it, just keep clean a few weeks and you'll be fine.

when I was in college I had "a friend" who had smoked heavily (several times daily) for a number of years. This friend went to the local meth clinic after abstaining for 3 weeks and they told her it was not even close.
So that friend went to the ListerHill Medical library and read up on it. And the only fool proof way to beat it is to delete the volume of the urine.
See there is actually an allowable amount allowed in the urine. they test for nanogram of substance/millileter of urine.
So drinking 64 ounces of water or tea starting 11/2 - 2 hrs prior to the test and then peeing several times before the the test will work. You will know if you drank enough if you create the diuretic effect...where you go and then 10 minutes later you have to go again.
After reading this info, my friend tried it and went back to the local meth clinic and paid for another test...it came back "clean as a whistle."
My friend has passed at four drug tests using this method.
It's worth the $35(20 years ago prices) bucks a pop for a couple of tests to feel safe.

37. Yes, but don't go in there with watered down urine |
|
I actually failed my first test when I got this recent job because there was too much water in my urine.
My reason for excessive water - I get bladder shy so I drank a ton of water to ensure I had to go when I went in for the test. So I had one last chance to pass the test or I wouldn't get the job and turned to the other urine enducing liquid.
I did test positive for caffeine abuse but I passed. I had 2 cappucinos and it did the trick.
Flushing yourself out with water is good but don't down excessive amounts of water before you go in there because they are now testing for water. But they will give you a second chance - the water test is just an indication that you might be hiding something.

35. That just colors diluted urine yellow for visual inspection's sake |
|
but doesn't change the sample's specific gravity, which is the chemical measure of dilution and always tested for.

Stall it as long as you can. Don't diet either. THC stays in Fatty tissue, and starvation causes that THC to re-enter your bloodstream.

Something like 2,000-6,000 mg Vit. C and 8-12 oz. water, two hours later 2 Goldenseal caps, more water, repeat every 2-4 hours for at least 3-5 days.

15. I am sure it is 90 days not 30. And you can research it online. |
|
I know there are cleansers that do the trick. Sweating, lots of fluids definitely will accelerate the expelling of thc from your system.

|
Edited on Fri Oct-07-05 12:14 AM by grannylib
acidic juices (lemon, lime, grapefruit, cranberry) and took Vitamin B, C and echinacea. I smoke every day (when I HAVE any, dammit, which at the moment I don't and tomorrow's the weekend, grrrrrrrrr.....) And I passed; my son-in-law, who used to smoke daily, said it can be done in a week or less, but I wanted to play it safe. On edit: prior to the test, I had been pretty well-stocked, so I had been smoking daily. I also walked quite a bit; they say exercise helps too.

25. if it's hair, you don't have much of a chance...or at least your friend |
|
doesn't.
some will say, shave your head, but...
I know of one company that takes hair, not from the head, but from the arm, chest, or leg. and thc can be found for a few months in hair I think. and the same company does random drug tests throughout employment, so it's not a one time thing before hiring only. bummer for those that toke.

Abstain as long as possible. Two ot three weeks would be best. Don't bother drinking a lot of water during this time it won't help.
THC stores in fat cells. The above advice about it being a bad time to diet is valid.
A little extra exercise wouldn't hurt to flush the system some but stop exercising a day or so before the test.
When you give the test drink plenty of water and never give the first urine of the day as it is dirtier and also not the first few drops that come out or the last.
If they give you grief about clear urine tell them you are a healthy human being and you drink 8 glasses of water a day and that is the color it always is.
And that is the truth anyway. Most people do not drink enough fluids and their urine is a lot darker than it should be.
If you are in a situation where you have to beat a test on the spot with no warning then you are screwed. Other than the above mentioned fake urine of course.
EDIT: Make that two or three weeks minimum would be best. Pot leaves slowly and a month or more would be absolutely the best. If you are a chronic user anyway. A casual user will clean up quicker.

unLess they're randoms, it can be tough to beat with maskers, since Labs are constantLy updating to test for those.... then again, if it's a peepee test for a crap job or smaLL company, even an oLd masker wouLd probabLy work since the those tests aren't the big $$ kind.
