Hey guys,

I hate to drop by a forum and make a first post asking questions, but hey, such is life. I'm for sure interested in this November marijuana vote and legalization, so hopefully I'll stick around and become cozy now that I have an account. So hi.

Anyway, the thing bringing me here.

I just took a pre-employment drug test today, urine test. I used to smoke a lot, but I stopped smoking over 6 months ago (I was worried it would be a hair test... what a shame). So, basically, I am 100% clean, my piss is 100% clean, I know for a fact that I will pass.

The thing is, I know a test can fail for being too dilute. I took the test at 3pm. I woke up at 12:30pm (Hey, I'm not working yet!). I want to make sure I didn't drink too much water to dilute the sample too much. Between waking up and taking the test, I drank 3 bottles (16oz) of bottled water.

The first was right between waking up and showering (1pm). The second was about an hour later (2pm). And the third was right before driving to the center, to make sure I had to pee (230pm... I know, overkill, but I can be a nervous pee-er).

So, is there ANY chance that drinking these three bottles of water in the 2 hours before the test will cause my sample to be too dilute.

The sample was very clear - a slight yellow tint, but definitely on the clear side of things. I shouldn't have drank any water at all, because I know I am clean, but I drink a lot of water normally and I wasn't thinking straight.

Hard to say, without testing your sample well never know. I agree with you that you shouldn't have diluted so much. You should have been completely clean to begin with. Worst case scenario, you'll have to go back and retest because of a non negative dilute.

Dang, I was hoping for some reassurance. It was more like 2 1/3 bottles of water over the 2 hours, one was from the night before...

I really wanted to smoke a going-away blunt with my boys tonight, as I am moving across the country in a few days.
