What are my chances of passing a drug test?

[xfshipper]

I first started smoking about a year ago. I smoked maybe 4 or 5 times last summer, stopped in August, and didn't start smoking again until this May (the 13th). Since then I've smoked like 4 times, most recently about a week ago. I think I have a pretty high metabolism but since I have a high tolerance for pot I tend to smoke a lot in one session. What do you think my chances are of passing a urine drug test right now? Or in a week, if I don't smoke at all?

thanks :)

Honestly I don't think your chances are that great, but to be sure get yourself some tests, they cost about 1.65 or so on ebay or medical disposables. See if your clean or not, but if not I would plan on substitution with either synthetic or with a clean donor. Good luck to you.

If you test positive on a home test and need to spike the sample, eye drops work well, because labs don't test for that.


Drinking lots of water always works to dilute the concentration of everything in your urine.

I am new to this but from everything i have researched and read you should test yourself to see where you stand. Buy the tests at any pharmacy or on line, its cheaper on line. Every one's body and metabolism is different, what works for one person won't necessarily work for the next. Test yourself a few times. In my experience I tested negative and positive over multiple tests. I think having a backup plan such as dillution or subbing is good planning.

False! Labs test for adulterants as well as the actual drug check. Adding eye drops will cause the sample to be labeled "adulterated".

Most employers treat an "adulterated" result as a refusal to test. This would mean that the employee would relinquish eligibility to participate in Employment Assistance Programs (normally offered to those who just merely tested positive for the first time), and be terminated.

Bad advice there, dude.

How do you know this is bad advice? Do you work in a lab?

Labs do test for adulterants, especially common ones like soap, bleach, etc. The active ingredient in Visine eye drops (Tetrahydrozoline HCl) is NOT routinely tested for. A GAO survey of 4 testing labs showed 4 of 4 DID NOT DETECT a sample spiked with Tetrahydrozoline HCl.

Don't believe me, than check it out for yourself: http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d06416.pdf

Spiking the sample is a last ditch method if you are testing positive and have no alternative. Substition and simply not smoking are better methods.
