what is with that? did I do something wrong?
I was being tested for work obviously.. and barely registered a very light colored line next to thc, and passed everything else. I have another chance in a month but I'm going to demand a retest tomorrow and tell the guy giving me it how long it has been.. he's pretty understanding that way..

its a fab shop, so pretty low key and we get tested once..
any ideas why I didn't pass easily?

but why would it only test false positive for one of the 6 lines? I would think it would for a few unless the test were somehow designed to register for thc specifically?

If what youre saying is indeed true, then it sounds like you got screwed big time. :wtf:

Whoever administered the test sure does not know how to interpret the results. A "faint" line is still a line, which is a negative. The THC panel will often register a more faint line than the other drug panels. It means nothing but a negative.

And anyone who had done their research and who conducts oral swab testing on a regular basis would realize that THC is only detectable in the saliva for 12 - 72 hours.

I took the test while I was going over some safety stuff with him and he said that while I passed, it was borderline, and that I should retake in a month.. I saw the line, so whatever. I'm retesting tomorrow.. then going home and loading a bowl for the first time in a long time.
I can't remember smoking since october, but I know I've been clean for sure for at least 2 months.. tips on making sure I pass again? brush my teeth and gargle real good? I drank a soda while I was taking the test.. thats how lax they are :P

well I retook it today and passed of course.. The place I work at is so cool about it.. I was drinking a bottle of water while I took the damned thing, and it was directly after lunch..:P
