I'm Stressed..Please Help!

[Rounder2k8]

Ok so here is my situation:

In about 20 days I will be moving to another province for a job and will need to take a drug test. I have read the stickies but i have a few questions.

I was quit smoking bud for 2 or more years, but in the last 30-35 days i used it about 20 times.. most times just sharing a joint with a friend and letting him smoke most of it and me only taking like 6-8 puffs, enough for a small high.


Here are my questions:

1) Using the dilution method what are the chances of giving an OVER DILUTED urine sample, if I drink gatorade instead of water,take the aspirin,Rolaids, B12, and load creatine monohydrate.

2) Have there been any failed test using this method exactly as you should, that you guys know of? (the steps in the dilution sticky). And when I say failed test i don't mean over diluted, I mean tested positive for THC metabolites.

3) Does exercise remove the metabolites faster by burning fat or releasing the metabolites in your bloodstream? Or will my body release the maximum amount of metabolites daily on it's own?

Sorry for all these questions but i am really stressing out and i HAVE to pass this test. And quick fix may not be an option because of shipping complications ( i can't afford ordering it right now and don't have a place to ship it because of where i live). But substituting with a friends urine may be possible but right now i am wondeing about dilution and the chances of passing.. Thanks

Hey i was/kinda still am going through the same apprehension about a test that you are. This is what i have learned from people on this forum and from my nutrition professor. I am by no means an expert but i believe i am very well informed. (try and talk to Fake Boobs Rule he is the recognized expert here on Drug tests). The time that THC stays in your body is highly dependent on your weight, usage, metabolism. Since it seams that you are a light user and your test is not for 20 days if you do not smoke i would say you will prob pass with no need for dilution. when it gets closer to your test date or even now if you are really stressed go to a pharmacy and get a home urine drug test, this will tell you where you are at. Now according to my Nutrition Professor drinking tons of water now will do very very little, however if you are dehydrated your body will not expel toxins naturally as fast as it would... my professor also said that green tea or cranberry juice will help slightly lessen the over all time that it takes to detox. In my situation i was recommended to take Niacin pills (if you want i will let you know the dosage when i am told) i was told that niacin works by a government official with extensive knowledge on the subject. Exercise does help alot with detox because it burns fat and releases the THC into your blood and then your urine then out. however stop exercising at least 72 hours before your test. Hope this helps

Thanks for the response, I too think I may be able to pass by then, but being paranoid..lol, i'm trying to learn all the tricks. It would really calm m nerves is if i knew where to get the home test strips. I live in Canada..so your saying I can get them at a pharmacy?

Thanks Tribalash, welcoming other opinions and answers to my 3 questions..thanks

[Tribalash]

well i have never purchased drug tests in canada but they are avaliable in any pharmacy in the states, and with way more drug freedom up north i would be very very surprised if they are not readily avaliable at your local pharmacy.

Does exercise remove the metabolites faster by burning fat or releasing the metabolites in your bloodstream? Or will my body release the maximum amount of metabolites daily on it's own?
Any time you exercise, you're burning fat cells in which the THC is stored in. When fat cells burn, the THC is metabolized and released back into the bloodstream, in which then the metabolites will make an eventual exit via the urine and bowels. This is the reason why a person tests positive for 30 days (or longer) after substantial usage.

Because THC metabolites are being released, physical activities should be avoided 0-3 days prior to "D-Day". For this period only, you want to eat large meals and be lazy as possible.

Thanks for thereally informative response Burnt Toast

Anyone know about my first 2 questions? Thanks to those that have answered me so far

[FakeBoobsRule]

How many get negative dilutes? I would say about 20-25 to maybe as higher as 35%. It is a possibility you can't overlook but you have a fair amount of clean time meaning less you need to dilute.

I would say about 5 to maybe 10% still fail with dilution. It is possible too.

[Rounder2k8]

Well thanks guys. I guess all i can do now is wait, hopefully get some testing strips too, to practice dilution.

[Rounder2k8]

Oh and FakeBoobs... when you say that around 25-35% get negative dilutes, more than likely it's because they never used some of the tricks for bringing up creatianine levels and such right? maybe i'm wrong..

[FakeBoobsRule]

My stat of 25-35% was based on people who both do the dilution method correctly but might add a little too much volume and those who do the method incorrectly like using water instead of sports drinks or not taking the Tums/Rolaids. I wouldn't say they don't use any countermeasures but rather it includes some who don't use the countermeasures properly and some that do and a few who just drink as much water as they can.

You should be able to get the strips at a head shop. I used them to test myself after 15 days (after I had been smoking daily for a couple of months). I was clean at that point.

I got some good/bad news today. The job that i am required to take the test for also requires me to have a drivers license so today when i went to get the appointment for my road test they told me they were booked until the 13th of Nov., so the bad news is it will be 2 weeks later than i was suppose to be that i am going to be moving to Alberta and I can't wait to go....but the good news is that it's an extra 2 weeks for me to be clean...so now i can just do the urine test straight up with no tricks..haha..

Thanks for all your help guys I will keep all this in ming for the future
