READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO LAUGH AT MY BAD LUCK

[G00SEiv]

Hey all,

new to cannabis.com, but the site looks great and seems like a lot of fun.. Anyway enough of the fluff here's my story (and some question's too)

So I have this job set up and orientation begins on this upcoming friday. I have been smoke free since the 7th of this month (11 days at this point)... And have been smoking I would say 5-7 times a week for at least the whole summer (about 4 months) and back at college I would say probably 3-7 times a week (sometimes it would be a glass piece, and sometimes blunts -- in other words the methods varied). I am 6feet tall and I would have to say between 185lb-195lb's - average build - fairly fast metabolism.

SO - here it goes:

monday: (8 days clean) - I drink a Q-Carbo20 CLEAR with the 5 vitamins and followed all the directions - drink 20oz water before and 20oz after. waited 2-3 hours and had another 2 20oz water in this time period. Took a take home test (from CVS - 15$ w/ cup and only tested for THC) and the results came up negative -- AWESOME -- I then go to quest and arrive while they're still open, but unbeknowngst to be they don't to drug tests after 3pm (it was 3:30pm when I arrived. So there went $65. II go home all bummed out and purchase another take home drug test kit and later that evening go to bed.

Tuesday: (9 days clean) - I wake up and take the take home drug test (first urination of the day) and I come back positive -- BOO. So I run to GNC and buy a QCARBO32 and start drinking it immediately (I don't want to miss the drug test again.) Finish the drink and fill the bottle about 3-4 more times, drink that, pee about 5-6 times and figure its time to go and take my test (I did not take another test this time b/c I figured i passed the day before). Get there take the test, i'm all happy and even turned down a session later that evening b/c I hadn't heard results

Wednesday: 10 Days Clean: All happy that I took the drug test, my staffing agency informs me that the specimen was too diluted and that I have to take the test AGAIN... UGH

$150 later and now I am so bummed out

at least it didn't come back as a fail I guess

Today (Thursday - 11 days clean) I think I am going to just drink water, cranberry juice, and gatorade (for specific gravity reasons) and eat a very large roast beef sandwich or something of that nature in order to bring up creatine levels. I'm also going to run to GNC and buy yet ANOTHER drink and this time not drink 120+oz of water b/c that's what I feel the problem was. Eat a steak for dinner as well.

Friday : Wake up and drink the qcarbo32 and 12-20oz of cranberry juice after that, and 16oz of gatorade. Then i'm going to relax, pee about 3-4 times, wait about 2-3 hours and take the test again and cross my fingers.

ANYWAY -- does this sound like a good plan ladies and gentlemen?

please let me know -- and feel free to laugh at me for my stupidity the past few days I've been dealing with it from all my friends over here anyway...

:smokin:

those detox drinks aren't helping....

only the liquid that you drink on the day of the test is important... drinking prior to that is just hydrating you, nothing else. A creatine supplement would increase your creatinine levels, i'm not sure how much a roast beef sandwich is gonna do for you. It takes 2+ days for the creatine to manufacture itself into creatinine, so if your test is tomorrow - it might be too late to start.

With all the monies you have spent, it would have been easier just to sub.

[G00SEiv]

Yes it definitely wouldve been easier to sub.
question about that actually:

when they say "double over the condom" i don't really understand what that means? I know not to tie a knot but what else can be done? twist ties?

help test is TOMORROW MORNING :(

also if what you're saying about the creatine is true then I've probably had enough considering i've had 2 detox drinks filled with it in the past two days -- so my creatine levels should be fine now?

also if what you're saying about the creatine is true then I've probably had enough considering i've had 2 detox drinks filled with it in the past two days -- so my creatine levels should be fine now? What Susie stated is true - it takes 2-3 days for creatine to metabolize into creatinine. How good are your creatinine levels, only a validity test strip can determine that. Validity test strips can be purchased online, and theyre cheaper than dirt. Do a Google search for drug adulteration test kits.

Stop wasting your money on those magic "detox" potions because they are a hit/miss gamble. When they do work, magic potions are an overpriced way of accomplishing the same exact task as the Dilution recipe, outlined in the stickys. There is no product that can rid the body of THC. Only time and exercise can accomplish that.

Forget about the magic potions and just follow N2's Dilution recipe in the stickys, on the day of your test.

i've decided to go with substitution i can't risk not getting this job...

i'm practicing with the condom, but I also bought a 3oz empty travel bottle...

for those who have done substitution what do you prefer?

IMO the condom seems to mold more to the body and can be less obvious

OPINIONS PLEASE! THANKS!

[Burnt Toast]

Use the travel bottle. Much more reliable IMO than condoms, which are susceptible to breakage.

[G00SEiv]

honestly i feel breakage is not an issue as I am using lifestyle XL condoms (not tooting my own horn :thumbsup:)

I cleaned off both sides when I was in the shower before so lubrication should not be a problem. But thanks for the input toast -- keep em coming'

ALSO:

I looked thru the sticky but only freezing was talked about,

my buddy peed at about 9:15pm and I put it in my fridge about 9:30pm and I will need the urine at about 10am-11am tomorrow.. Will that be ok?

also to warm it up tomorrow i'm planning on filling a pot with hot tap water and letting the urine filled condom sit in in for a minute or two -- this should be ok for the urine right? better then nuking?

Thanks in advance.

[suzieque]

If you are practicing and feel comfortable with the condom, then go with the condom. I personally would think it would be more difficult than the shampoo bottle.

The urine will be fine in the fridg for that short of time. Practice with water in the condom heating it up, so there are no surprises. You do have a thermometer?

[flyingimam]

plz do report back to us of what happened, i've been readin this and wanna know if it worked. hope u get thru it successfully.

[G00SEiv]

Yes, i bought a thermometer and boxer briefs and have been practicing with water. I would fill it with about 105 degree water and plant the condom where it would need to go. I would test it about about a half hour later and it would be between 95-98 degrees. (The test was when I was wearing boxers too, so it should be even warmer when I wear boxer briefs).

Anyway i'm setting up for the real thing now I'll let everybody know how it goes when I'm done.

[G00SEiv]

OK, everything went down well. except for a little spillage in the bathroom due to my clumsiness, but i cleaned it up.

temp was 96 degrees in cup... substitution definitely is the way to go

now I just have to wait for results - but I'm not worried my friend hadn't smoked for 2 and a half years and he said he had a kicked hit about 3 and a half weeks ago and he's been going to the gym ever since..
