Hello,
i am new to the forum and think people give out the most accurate and helpful information on this site compared to other places :P

i would just like to inquire about something

i have done some green stuff 3 times in my life ever, all in the past month though.
first time ever on the 13th (two hits, inhaled one hit properly --> i know this cause i coughed) then again on the 17th (also around 2 hits, one proper hit), so that was almost 3 days in between those two, then i did it again on the 23rd, (7 days from the 2nd time) i took around 6-8 hits, but did not hold them in and barely inhaled. I am worried because i found out i will have a drug test in another country to teach english. usually you have 3 months from when you arrive to take the drug test, but this certain company wants it earlier, therefore i will have been clean for 20 days when i take the drug test (most likely urine), ever since i found out i have been paranoid, i bought some take home 3 panel tests, and also took a drug screen in a walk in clinic on the 5th day being clean since the last time and still awaiting the results. i will take another drug screen at the hospital when i'm around the 10th day being clean, i took the take home test and had a faint line to show a negative on the 4th day, and a clearer but a little faint line again on my first void on the 6th day of being clean.
will they usually test for 50 ng/ml and then if positive use the gs/mc? or will they test lower like 20 ng/ml or 15 ng/ml i may be fine for 50 ng but not sure for 20ng or 15ng.
i am 5'11 and around 187 pounds. i work out and fairly built and in decent shape. do i have a reason to worry, should i not go to the country and risk getting deported?

Thanks in advance !

ps i know for first time user it should be out in 1-6 days from erowid, and for a weekly user 3-9, is 3 times in that period of time considered weekly or still single use? and was wondering how credible erowid.org was

Did you use the first urination of the day when you took the home test?

If not, then you need to do so. This is when the THCA concentration are at their highest. If you can pass the home test with the first void of the day, then you will have no problem passing your scheduled UA.

yessir
i used first void of the day
on day 4, but i think i fizz made it pass the line
and make the test void
so i did again later that day and got a negative as well
dipped it properly on first void on day 6 and got
a negative and again this morning day 9, a negative as well
but the T line is faint and a little fainter than the C line even on day 9, its a 3 panel test

oh i also did a hospital urine drug screen with my second void on day 5 of being clean, as i'm not going to give them my first one on the real day, and i wanted to see if i could pass, i have not diluted once yet, but i do drink a fair amount of fluids anyways still awaiting the results

i know i'm being paranoid
but my one question is, i know its usually a 50ng/ml cut off
for all 31 and then 15 ng/ml for just one
but i've heard of 20 ng/ml cutoffs? is that for all 31 or just a one metabolite?
thanks

All Immunoassays recognize all 31 metabolite concentrations regardless of its cutoff threshold. Only the GC/MS test recognizes one metabolite concentration (THC-COOH).


A faint line in the T region is still a line which is a negative.

Most standard pre employment screens are 50ng/ml cutoff on the initial screen(EMIT) and 15ng/ml cutoff on the GC/MS, which is only necessary to confirm a positive test(EMIT) result.
