I was gonna put this with the Detection sticky, but the thread's closed. I read this PDF and thought it was important enough to post: http://www.nadcp.org/preconference/Pre-Conf_Drug_Testing2.pdf
Among the important things it lists, the fact that the self-proclaimed stoner magazine "High Times" is guilty of perpetuating the 30 day myth. It states that its very uncommon for occasional users to register after 7 days and chronic users to register after 21 days (even on the 20 ng scale). Ofcourse there are exceptions to both rules though. It discusses all the variables, frequency, potentcy of the THC, reports on studies conducted and other things worth reading. And although it won't help you pass, it poses some interesting hypotheticals about how ethical these tests are and also how ethical it is for publications and scare-programs that perpetuate and keep alive the "30 days-for-all-smokers" myth.
