Pre-Employment

[Blindside]

I am in the process of applying for a new position (with a 15K raise), and there is a test that I will have to take.
As I am not familiar with the testing facility, and in fact, have never been tested, I plan to dilute according to N2's method.

I have been clean for over a week (as soon as I found out) and have been trying to clean myself up with some 7-Day system (I know, I know...), blah blah. I have been smoking for about 7 months daily, but was years clean before then. It has mostly been mersh, but recently we got some great dank buds, and it was the last thing I smoked.

I figure I will be at least 21 days clean come test day. I am 5'7" about 165 (with a belly).

So, I will exercise up to a couple of days in advance, and then load on creatine and start the dilution.

Any other tips, tricks, etc? How about a reliable home test, and any other info is greatly appreciated.

Blaze on...:thumbsup:

I get all my thc strips off ebay for about $1.30 each. I would be ready with a plan to sub just in case. 21 days may not be enough time. I would pickup some synthetic urine for backup.

Okies...thanks for the reply. I also have this Q-Carbo Clear 20 stuff that someone got for me. I have seen different responses/attitudes here about stuff like that. Any thoughts?

I'll take a look for the strips on Ebay...I have seen them linked to (maybe from here) also.

As above, I am less than clueless when it comes to testing, all my knowledge has come from the boards in the last week or so.

Thanks!

I tend to agree with killerweed420, 21 days might not be enough time for you.

Get a bunch of tests (i got 10 and wished I'd gotten more) and test yourself. Do your first void of the morning, (and if its positive) then do one after some dilution, say around 2PM (when is your test?) Read the dilution sticky. Don't do the aspirin while you are practicing (unless you have a headache :) but you can practice a little using the B2 or B Complex vitamins getting your urine to a color you are comfortable with. I found 2 B Complex about 2-3 hours before seemed to do it...

I ended up subbing with QF but I followed the dilution sticky to a t JUST in case. I was 33 days clean and couldn't pass that first morning test, but passed after a little dilution... still scared me into subbing.

The detox drinks are unreliable. Read the ingredients. Most are just a high-priced dilution method.

:hippy:

Thanks for the reply, Suz. Interestingly, the drink part of the kit seems to be Sprite :rolleyes: , but the pills that came with it have herbs like echinachea and some creatine, oddly enough. Sounds mostly useless, yes.

Thanks for the replies so far!

And the directions probably say drink a gallon of water?

Hehe, *only* 40 ounces ;)

[suzieque]

Mine says drink 60 oz of water..... its a magic potion GUARANTEED according to the gal at the headshop.... I bought it BEFORE I found this forum... Maybe I should sell IT on Ebay!! :thumbsup:

[Blindside]

LMAO, isn't that always the way?

As advised, I looked on Ebay and have already ordered test strips, so I have that coming.

GL to you, and any input is still welcomed. :D

[suzieque]

If you are young and active you'll have a better chance of cleaning up faster than I did, even though we are close to the same size.
Seven months of daily, tho.. hehe ;), please post the results of your first test :)

[Blindside]

Will def. post results after I get the test strips, and will let you know. :detective1:

[killerweed420]

Be sure to check around in the mean time on finding some synthetic urine.

Got my test strips from Ebay today. Did a test in the afternoon, after being at the beach, and probably being more dehydrated than anything else. DEFINITELY not diluted, that's for sure.

I got a faint line (likely about 50% of max color compared to the control). Is this good?

I am feeling pretty good at this point. It has been about 2 weeks abstaining for me. :thumbsup:

Take another home test. But this time use the first mornings urination when THC metabolite concentrations would be at their highest. If you test negative with the first mornings pee, then you'll be good to go. :thumbsup:

[zizka1]

someone please read my story, it's the newest thread

[suzieque]

Blind,

I'd still be interested in the test where you use your first void of the morning... have you tried that yet?

They say if you can photocopy the line, its a line. So yay... you are probably easily gonna pass with a little dilution, me thinks :) :)

[Blindside]

Hey folks,

I did a test about 3 days ago in the AM. Again, got a faint pass line (again about 50%).

I will be exercising more and still have some time before I have to test. Just took a test now, also, and again, I have a faint line.

The tests are both DOT standards, what does that mean? A lower threshold? I believe the strips are at 50, right?

No dilution on this, really, either.

[Blindside]

Sorry, another post, as I read a response from BT, who said that the intensity of the line is not really a factor.

I have gotten a line (fainter than control) every time I have tested with these strips, so this is a good thing?

Interested about the DOT question above, still, however. I was told that there is a physical, and a test at the hospital locally, and that they send out the samples in batches, so it might be a couple of days. What does that info tell me (between the lines)?

[killerweed420]

My lines are always faint for the thc line. For a dot test the cutoff for
immunoassay is still 50ng. It sounds like you should be good. Just follow the dillution sticky the morning of the UA and you should be good.

[Blindside]

Thanks for the reply killerweed, I am feeling a lot better. Getting the test strips has been a good thing for evaluation purposes, and to get an idea of baseline.

I am glad that I can go ahead with dilution, as I had hoped, and I will definitely post any results back.

At this point, I am still waiting on 2 offers, that I should hear back from early next week. I am going to see Jethro Tull on Monday night, which is sad that I can't puff, but the jobbie job is much more critical to life than a night's toking.

Thanks again, all. :)
