joonze word of advice... if your job seeking...hold off on the drugs....once your hired, unless you work in a company that has security regulations, they never test due to cost... enjoy afterwords...

if this is for court...dont party while on parole or probation if you dont want to do time...

its all common sense...

Coincidently, the amount of time that will pass until you here back about the job is exactly how long the paranoia will last.

Don't do drugs.

FluffyAntelopeHead Ugg. I failed 3 this year.1 for a job, 2 for probation. Took 'quick flush' drinks each time.,
Best option, stop as soon as you can. Drink as much h2o you can. Some tests give levels. That don't matter for jobs our probation/court.
Good luck bro

spanishmoon Permalink
spanishmoon I have passed and failed many tests, all a long time ago. But I used to drink a gallon of tea before my tests because thats what we had to do in the 90s. If I had smoked in the last 2 days, I never passed. If I had stopped for 2 days, I almost always passed. When I did fail, the levels were very low. These were quantitative tests for probation, my PO always showed me the results of the test.

My friend drinks the new 'quick flushes' and has had success and so have his co-workers

Good luck. Just be glad you don't have to try and force down a gallon of that nasty tea

I have passed at least 20 in my life including in the military when I smoked the night before a morning test. I've never failed one. Detox drinks are a waste of money. U need 3 things. A ton of water, some caffeine and vitamins. If u drink a gallon of water and then drink a 20 ounce coke u will piss clear. Your piss will have no color. That where the vitamins come in. They give it color. It's so diluted that its below the minimum detection level. I once forgot to take the vitamin and had to retest because it was too diluted. I still got the job.

Forgot to mention, it depends on the drug. If its the hard stuff dilution doesn't work but they also don't stay in your system as long.

Sounds like u drank plenty of water. Was your urine clear or yellow. If its too clear that could b a problem. If its yellow but diluted u should b okay. Good luck.

YorkvilleBeerLover In 1995 I drove across country to move to Colorado for a new "real" job. I quit smoking 2 days before I left, had about 5 days before my first day of work. Stopped midway in Chicago and smoked 1 night, got super paranoid so drank about 10 gallons of water from the Illinois border to Denver. I chased about 100 Goldenseal tablets in 2 days. Go to work on Monday - first guy I meet there say no Drug Test. I pooped green slime for days. Haven't been tested in my life.

Man i'm shitting my pants - in the interview process for a gig right now. 100% they are going to test. I've been clean 4 days and staying that way. I drink about 8 27oz containers of water a day and I'm a fat f*** so I've been running the past few nights to get back in shape and also make those fat cells smaller. I have a onsite interview next week - hoping there is a 2nd round - and then a 2 week notice period.

I really want the gig - worst case scenario I got a little fitter and didnt smoke all my johnny.

I would classify myself as a heavy smoker for the last 15 years - when I say heavy I mean everday unless I took a few 15 days periods off in the last 2-3 years.

More recetly - say 2-3 years been a 3X Bongs a day of heavy duty stuff.

I'm crushing water, running, will do everything else I've heard

My 30day mark is 4.10. Hoping I can stall until then!

feralchild [A friend of mine who is not me] is a web developer looking for work right now. He doesn't handle stress and uncertainty very well, and deception leaves a foul taste in the back of his throat, so [A friend of mine who is not me] quit smoking MJ about 1 month ago. Now [A friend of mine who is not me] is EXTRA motivated to get a new job so he can go back to his old habits!

[A friend of mine who is not me] strongly disapproves of pre-employment drug screening. He thinks it shows incompetence and wastefulness on the part of ownership and management. He thinks an employee should be evaluated based on his/her performance, and if he/she is using and it's affecting his/her work, one shouldn't need a piss test to figure that out!

A person can eat a sheet of acid and shoot heroin into his nutsack and pass a drug test in a couple of days, but god forbid he should smoke a joint 2 weeks prior!

[A friend of mine who is not me] also thinks that some individuals, in certain professions (i.e. programming, creative professions) actually benefit from the use of certain drugs, and eliminating those candidates based on their personal chemical preferences does not exactly help one find the best person for the job.

Here's an interesting court case that shows the tide may finally be turning against this sort of practice (albeit slowly, and only in the public sector).

cptpowder Buy the home test strips and test yourself instead of wondering. You can get 10 for 10$ on amazon.com. 99.9% accurate. You can also get the home test kit from Walgreens but its 20$ for one test..... For me its a great piece of mind to know where im at.

Its actually easier for chronic heavy smokers to flush their system than those who smoke less. I liken it to cold water boiling faster than warm water.
