How long will urine kept in a dark area be usable in a FirstCheck home test?

this has been discussed a lot in other forums. here's a discussion from marijuana.com that goes into shelf life. i guess it's 5 days in the fridge, a year in the freezer according to hawg. i'm sure people on here would have reasonable numbers to give from personal experience as well.

It is more like 2 weeks in the refrigerator, and yes 1 year in the freezer.

out of curiosity, does it physically look different in the container after a year?

Well before you edited your response you asked what happens after a year but now you want to know what it looks like.

If I answer you are you going to argue with me and give more incorrect information? I am being completely serious when I say this because that is what you have been doing.

sorry man, was just wondering what happens after a year. like actually i don't know, but thought you might.

i edit my posts because i'm very OCD even on the internet. i'm not sure the two statements you noted were really that different. was just trying to be more clear with what i said.

and my information has been correct. sorry if i came across rude.

You're not coming across rude as much as it is annoying and wrong. So far you stated bleach is acidic when it is basic, urine can be stored in the frig for 5 days when it is more like 2 weeks, you think fructose is normally present in urine which it isn't unless you have a metabolic disorder, you are confused about the role of HIPPA regulations in drug testing, you are telling people it is not safe to use the opposite gender when subbing which it is safe, you have been using fermentation in reference to urine going bad which isn't correct, you tried to correct me when I defined dilution when my definition was correct, you offered some excuse about basic urine that will not work, etc, etc ,etc.

man read the actual posts. i said "hawg said 5 days". i myself have no idea. fructose can be normally present in urine--you didn't read the link. my understanding of hipaa is correct. i never said it was not safe to use the opposite gender.

how high are you? cool down man, and read the posts. i'm not out to get you, maybe you're feeling paranoid. you've been a little hostile to other users too so i'm just gonna try to step out of your way. room enough on here for everybody.

I have got to go and crawl back into bed with my little blonde hottie in just a few minutes but not before I help others pass their drug tests by providing correct information.

You will notice that I have not attacked you personally but only disagreed with your advice and I have gone after the advice and not the poster. This is the 4th or 5th time you have gone after me. I will take the high road.

man read the actual posts. i said "hawg said 5 days". i myself have no idea. fructose can be normally present in urine--you didn't read the link.

I don't have to read the link because I know fructose is only present in the urine if you have a metabolic disorder. The most common metabolic disorder if not the only cause is a deficiency of the enzyme fructokinase which should be found in the liver.

my understanding of hipaa is correct.
I breezed through HIPPA the other day and the only thing I saw dealt with confidentiality of drug testing results, not drug testing protocols. Most of those protocols were established by the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988. That is 8 years before HIPPA but there is nothing in HIPPA updating or changing these protocols. I will find a copy of the Drug Free Workplace Act just to make sure though. DOT tests are a little different and not protected by as much privacy as non-DOT.


i never said it was not safe to use the opposite gender.

From the substitution sticky, post #44 written by you.


but drug techs aren't stupid. they would definitely ask you if you had substituted someone else's urine for your own. and if you deny it, you might have to deal with a doctor wanting to get an mri of your pelvis because of a suspicious lab test.


From that same thread post #47


a medical tech would still ask if the urine was your own if you're a guy and it came back with a positive hcg and you were still in the testing area. nurse would if she was the one who got the results. not saying what's supposed to happen, just what happens.

Clearly you are suggesting that it is not safe to use the opposite gender.

See there are the personal attacks. I am chill and I read the posts. I'm not paranoid because I am very secure and confident in my knowledge on this subject. I'm not hostile either because I know Psycho4Bud is always around with this big ass hammer that he will slam down on you if you are rude. ;) Besides, I have no reason to be rude. Demanding in accuracy yes, rude no.

Let me quote Birdgirl again too. She doesn't seem to think I am hostile and she is well respected here on the boards. In case you didn't know she doesn't smoke MJ, she is pro-MJ, she is a med student, and her wonderful husband is a cardiologist who posts here too.


FakeBoobs hasn't been on in about a month. I know this part of the board relies on his expertise a lot, and I personally miss him a lot, not only because he's smart but also because he's funny and nice.

Until he returns to us, which I hope will be soon, if you're a new member or have new questions about drug testing, it'd be worth your while to spend some time searching through previous questions and the answers FakeBoobsRule has provided in this sub-forum. He's answered nearly every drug-testing-related question there is several times over, and the answers you're looking for are probably here someplace. You'll just have to work for them.

The poor guy may be taking a much-needed vacation from having to repeat himself so often!

dude this is not what i came on here for. if you're cool where you're at i can just stay out of your way. good luck with your blonde hottie.
