UA (115 lb Male) 1 Month To Abstain w/ Questions

[blank27]

First off Ive smoked nearly everyday for the past 3 years. Varying amounts but at least 1/4 an ounce a week.

I am a 27 y.o M about 5'7 and only 115 pounds.

I last smoked Sept 19 and have a test on Oct 22. Should abstaining mixed with a mild dillution work for me? (5 point test via Quest. Doing the test on job site, then its sent off).

I ordered 10 of the THC tests available from amazon.com and have been testing myself every few days. Failed horribly so far, and todays I think there may be a slight 'second' line on the test (3 full weeks smoke free), but its so vague It could all be in my head.

I have also ordered QuickFix 5.7 and kept it in my cars glovebox just incase they spring the test earlier, and Im not testing clear myself (is it ok to store in the glovebox? in TX heat?)

Any tips/suggestions anyone could provide would be appreciated, and I will be sure to continue updating throughout the testing process, until I have confirmed results, as Ive noticed a lot of people ask questions, but never come back to update (i assume they pass).

So basicaly my questions are:

1. Since I am still failing at 3 weeks, will two more weeks be enough to naturally detox ? being as i am lightweight, dont have much appetite, and cant gain weight if I try, though am fairly inactive I do admit)

2. If two of my home tests come up as a THC pass (two lines), should this be enough to not worry about any more advanced testing via Quest? (the home tests are just small dipstick tests, very cheap)

3. If I am failing and need to use QuickFix, will my year 10 batch that I ordered 2 weeks ago but has been in my car through varying temperatures still be safe to use?


Thanks again.

It takes me at least 30 days before I can pass using dilution, 60 or so to really be clean.

I am your height, and 160 ar so. Is the 115 a typo? I would think that if that is correct, you should be clean way sooner than me.

It only costs 15 bucks to walk into a collection center and do a thc test. There are no records kept, and they will tell you your levels if you fail.

Thanks Jerry. No not a typo, just very lightweight. (I pretty much have to force myself to eat, even when high I barely get munchies. Which is one of the big reasons I dont like to stop smoking, I cant afford to lose anymore weight! Lol).

But I am a very heavy smoker, so Im guessing thats why its taking so long to come back clean. Im hoping with the 3 weeks clean now, plus 12 more days until I have the test, that my being lightweight would be an advantage in detoxing quicker.

I plan on stuffing myself the days before the test so any fat cells that I do have are not breaking down as much (dont know if this really will help, but seems to be common-sensical)

Looks like your on the right track. I would continue to exercise and test yourself up until test time. If your still not passing with the first void of the day, then I would use your QF. As far as storage for the QF... It says to keep it out of direct sunlight, but keeping it in the summers heat should be fine.

Thanks Deige.

The QF is still in the box, in the shipping envelope and has not been exposed to Sunlight.

Looks like your on the right track. I would continue to exercise and test yourself up until test time. To add to Deiges post, be sure though to test yourself 3 days before the U/A. Do use the first urination of the day as Deige advised. If you test positive, stop all exercise and go into "storage mode" and remain dormant until after the U/A. Even though youre planning on subbing, it wouldnt hurt to begin your creatine-loading at this time, in preparation to use the Dilution method --- as a backup just in case youre forced to abort the sub for whatever reason.

Thanks Toast,

The company I worked for performed test on everybody (from management down), but I was on vacation and was able to get a second test date later in the month (thankfully, since i was failing and did not have my QF yet). From the personnel experiences I heard the lab-techs barely checked temperature or anything, so if I do have to sub, I hope I get the same techs and am able to be that much less stressed.

Even though I have the QF i wanted to abstain just for the hell of it, to see how long It does take for me to cleanse, so I get get super blazed when I am able to smoke, and to save the QF incase of too dilluted, a mistake or general fear of failure. As I test on a friday I would love to be able to smoke that weekend, but will continue to abstain until I get results back and know all is clear.

Thanks ago to all you guys/gals for your input. Great community and hope someday we can all legally blaze together!

Well my stressing continues.

The conmpany got the results back for everyone else who tested, and most everyone passed, including people who I know had only quit a week before testing.

However, my test is not until the 22nd. Last week i took a home test on an afternoon void after what had been 3 weeks smoke free, and had a faint line showing a negative for thc.

This week I took another at home dip-stick test on my first void and failed.

Not trusting these tests I had gotten online, I went to walmart and bought a first-test kit. Using my second void at the same time I will be testing at my workplace, I get a very very faint line. So faint that it could be considered a figment of the imagination, but Im sure its there. If you tilt the cup however, its pretty damn invisible.

Looks like I may have to sub just to be sure. But will get one more first-test kit to take a day before my real test just to be sure.

Just thought Id update for the people who are in my body-weigh range and have questions.

Well wish me luck guys/gals. Has my test yesterday, have passed 3 home tests on my first void in the morning in the days leading up to it, so i decided not to sub. Though if I had I could have walked in with the quickfix strapped to my forhead and they would not have noticed.

My one concern is i have a shy bladder so I drank a large mcdonalds tea on the way to work, (5 am), then a coffee when i got there, then at least 8 6 ozcups of water, to the point i was pissing every 15 minutes, clear as a freshly cleaned window. Made one more restroom trip because i couldnt hold it, came back to the office and had a call saying to show up at the test site in 10 minutes. So downed two more glasses of water and a 12 oz tea. The test guy then told us that 40oz of water in a 1 hour period could cause too dillute. My concern now is that i may have to retest because of this. But better than a fail I guess. (Must hold off on celebreating). Should have done the creatine capsules and B12 i guess, but thought I would be ok.

Will let you know how it goes.

Waiting on results is more stressful than the test itself! Have not heard anything back yet one way or another. Was almost positive I would be too dilute and they would ask for a retest, but figured they would have by now?

Question:

If there was something suspicious, would they call me first to ask about medications or would they just forward the results to my bosses?

It took 10 days last time from testing to results, but that was with 60+ people testing, this time there was just 8 or 9, and Im not sure if they contacted the people who failed beforehand.

Well after I gave in and smoked this past couple days, I got called in today and told my test was too dillute. Am given a chance to retest sometime next week....looks like I will be using my QuickFix.

I feel like an idiot for knowing I was clean, but still drinking so much water to the point I was dilluted. And then for having given in and smoked because I thought I was in the clear.

Wish me luck!

[ummmyea]

Damn...I wanted to see if you'd pass without the dilution.. I have 32 days to get clean I feel like that should be enough being that I'm thin and have a fast metabolism. I have 28 days at this point..I need to start exercising because I'm lazy as shit.

[blank27]

In 100 percent sure I was in the clear on passing. I just dilluted because I have a shy bladder lol. Hope that qf works, my job is at stake!

[blank27]

that should be enough time if you have a decent metabolism. It took 3 weeks for me to be clean a few wizzes into the day after smoking superweed for 4 years, every 2 hours every day. and then a few more days before i was passing first voids.

Well got told yesterday my retest was this morning at 9 o clock, so I had my QF ready, crotched it at 6am wearing two pairs of briefs and by 7 it was easily at 96 degrees. I put on the heat pack just for added insurance, and removed it around 8:50 when it was reading 100. Promptly 9 o clock rolled around and I got called to the test-guy, instantly took the cup, did my business, and checked the temp was right )it was at 98). Blew and swirled just to drop it a little more then instantly handed it off.

Guy said results should be in tomorrow so wish me luck!

My only concern is that I once had the QF out in my car transferrinig it from the box to my pocket, surely that brief bit of sunlight couldnt have done damage? And also it was stored in my glovebox for about 3 weeks in various temps, hope that does not affect it as well. Hope I have a job next week!!!

woohoo, passed with the quickfix. Best 30 dollars Ive spent in a long long time.
