Hey guys,
I have recently stumbled upon this site in my quest for all knowledge available to pass my upcoming drug test. I can't thank the quality contributors of this site enough for the wealth of information I have received.
Like many of us on this site, I am being forced to submit a urine sample for a pre-employment drug test. I am fresh out of college and have a shot at a $60k a year job and cannot ruin this opportunity.
To be 110% absolutely sure I pass this test, I have decided that substitution would be my best option. I have been studying the threads all weekend and read all the stickies. I just hope you guys don't mind me asking a few questions for some peace of mind. I have passed a drug test before, but did it the natural way and abstained for a month and half beforehand. This will be my first go around at substitution - so I am naturally a bit nervous.
On to my questions:
1.) I have been practicing with a 2.5oz travel shampoo bottle tucked into my groin and wearing Under Armor type underwear. Most of my samples range in the 97.5 to 98 degrees range fresh out of the ole talliwacker. Most of my runs have been about 30 minutes stashed under the nuts and I have been getting around 96 to 96.5 degrees after that time frame. I will be going to the same facility I went to for my previous drug test and it took me a good 45 to 60 minutes before I was even called up. How close to 98 degrees should I be shooting for? My Chain of Custody form (LabCorp) has a notes section for 90 to 100 degrees. As long as I am in this range, should I have anything to worry about? Assuming it is the same lady as last time, I did not even see her take the temp before sealing my sample or see a temp strip on the collection cup for that matter. What is the verdict on temperature ranges?
2.) I have two sources of clean urine. My brother who is 100% clean but taking a few prescription medications for high blood pressure. Statins if I recall correctly. I have been unable to find any info on statins and false positives, but I am still weary about this as I would prefer to disclose all medications to the tech to prevent any confusion or red flags. However, I would be hard pressed to submit any official paperwork for the prescription if it came down to it. My second, and preferred option, is my girlfriend. She is the stubborn type who barely wants to take Advil when she has a headache so she is definitely 100% clean. Only concern here is that she is on birth control. Before I get flamed, I have read a hundred times that gender does NOT matter, so I am not concerned about that. Just a little concerned about the birth control affecting things. I have come across a few threads here with the same question and it seems the universal answer is birth control has no affect. I was just hoping for a little more reinforcement that birth control should cause no worries. Any success stories from people who have used urine from a female on birth control would be nice. Any advice on which donor to use?
Last but not least (for now anyways),
3.) Any insight into this type of test? It is a LabCorp facility and the Chain of Custody reads "[ ] 1-9 Panel." I assume this simply means a 9 drug type EMIT type test. Please correct me if I am wrong. The company is quasi-government, so I was curious if maybe they might be using any kind of advanced testing. Also, there does not appear to be any information filled out for an MRO. Just the address of a human resources outsourcing company.
Sorry for the long post, I just gotta be damn sure about this. As I said, this job would be a life-changing accomplishment and would really jump start my career path. And to all you nay-sayers out there who want to tell me that I shouldn't be smoking herb while I am applying for jobs, this drug test was sprung on me at the last second. In my last experience, I was given AMPLE notice and did not need to take my drug test for several months so I was able to get clean. I will also be cutting way back, if not entirely, on my habit as I begin my adult working life.
Any comments, advice, suggestions and insight is GREATLY appreciated and I will definitely be sure to give back to the community with updates and results of how everything goes.
