I weight about 95 kilos (got a fair bit of muscle but carry a good chunk of fat too) and am 6ft1. I go to the gym and do HIIT (type of cardio which substantially elevates the metabolism) virtually every day. I take multi-vits as part of my routine anyway.

Have a pre-employment test coming up in 7-10 days I would guess and have been completely clean for 11 days already. so looking at 20+ days clean by test day. I will be keeping up my exercise regime for at least 5 of those remaining days, stopping a couple of days before the test.

I naturally drink a lot of water and piss with some frequency. I would by no means describe myself as a chronic smoker - maybe averaging a bong hit or 4 or 5 tokes of good shit a night for the month before going cold turkey but with plenty of sober spells before that.

I've tested myself 6 times (including 2 on first piss of the day) with two different brands of home test. 5 were one brand and every time it was a faint negative line. I was paranoid that I wasn't seeing the line getting stronger so I bought another brand as I'm aware the clarity of the line is a debatable way of detecting Just tested first void on the other brand and got a strong negative test line.

If any guru on here wants to weigh in it'd be much appreciated. I'm aware I'm being a bit of a pussy, but it's a bit of a dream job and the consequences of failing the test are pretty grim. Should I just calm the **** down?

If you're getting any kind of a negative line you're good. Another thing that will help you get clean is to eat a high fiber diet with metamucil and then about 3 days before the UA load up on fatty red meats.

Thanks dude. Test coming up sometime this week - presumably after Labor day. Taken another test on first void. Negative again but still paranoid as hell. This is no fun! :( Seems insane that they could interview a smack addict on Friday and they could pass it the following Monday but the occasional toker has to sweat it out!
