I was told by my work that my annual drug test will be taking place sooner than expected due to the client changing their rule.
I work internationally on a 28 day on/28 day off basis, so I only smoke when I am back home for the month im off. I smoke everyday when im off at least a 3-4 times a day but only about 5-10grams in the 28 days im off.
I am currently away and have been for 2 weeks so not smoked in 15days and still have another 15 to go before my test. While I was home this time round, I only smoked for a week and a bit but then went on holiday for 14days where I didnâ??t smoke at all.. I did however cram in 5grams in 3days before I left to come to work. My last being on the way to the airport to enjoy my last bit of freedomâ?¦
My work is physical and since I found out I have tried to run more and hit the gym too but my work is physical anyways and I normally sweat my butt off. My stats are 5â??7 and weigh 195pounds give or take a few.. I wouldnâ??t say im overweight but have a bit of a belly as most 34yr olds do.(what can I say..i like beer too!)
There is no way I can take a home test as im stuck in the middle of the ocean but I am stressing out here big time!! I been drinking loads of water but have also been thinking about Dilution (after reading a lot of threads) as the tests they do are just the dip in pee type and give you an answer right away.
I see a lot of threads about people getting tested in like a week or so but nothing similar to my story!?!

So to round it off
1: I smoke every second month (about a year now) about 5-10 grams
2: smoked for a week and a half.. was dry for 14 days smoked 5grams in 3 days
3:Last joint was 15 days ago and still got 15 days to goâ?¦
4:My job is physical, so no chance of taking it easy a couple of days before..

Any advise from you guys out there for a fellow smoker who wishes it was legal internationally??

ONE LOVE
:rasta:

In the instructions for the tests I have it states -

"Note: There is no meaning attributed to line color intensity or width."

You could always claim there were some people smoking near you while you were at a concert if questioned.

Why would it raise any flags if it was ruled a pass?

A line is a line and a pass is a pass - Plain sweet & simple.

its not been ruled a pass as i have not done the test yet but am just going off what i have read on all the posts over the last 4 weeks..
i have done a another with a bit of dilution where the line was A LOT bolder and just seeing them next to each other makes me hope the MRO doesn't have bad eye sight..lol
I just wanna be 100% certain as i dont wanna loose my job and all the stress over this makes me wonder if its worth smoking until i dont have to do tests again..
I have attached the other test results.

Since the OP stated that he was in the middle of the ocean and he gets the results right away, I was under the (mistaken) impression that his drug test wasn't like the standard procedure and that the faint line was going to be questioned by a supervisor, not an MRO.

Let me ask this question - because I'm spotting inconsistent stories here: If the O/P was stuck out in the middle of the ocean, how was he able to take a home test, particularly when he stated in his opening post that being out in the ocean, he had no access to home tests?


There is no way I can take a home test as im stuck in the middle of the ocean but I am stressing out here big time!!

And if the drug test was performed out in the middle of the ocean, how will the sample undergo a confirmation GC/MS test if an administrator were to misinterpret a faint line on an assay as a "positive"?

A positive result should never be susbstantiated on the sole basis of an assay, which has no ability to yield a quantitative value to seal the deal on the evidentiary front.

Guys,
Im sorry if i have caused a little confusion!

I was in the middle of the ocean but had organized to come home for a week to try get "cleaner". The test will be done in a clinic but I still do not think, as Burnt toast explains.."undergo a confirmation GC/MS"
I will be flying out again tomorrow Tuesday to be tested on Wens..

Again sorry but I had thought i stated that I was home and had been taking the home test..my bad but i do appreciate the help and i had thought about say, in the event of a faint line.. "Must be second hand smoke as my girlfriend likes to toke.."

Since there was a more than a 2 week span between the OP's initial post and his follow up, I reasoned that there could be quite a few ways he could obtain the test pictured. He could of had someone mail it to him, he or a confederate could have swiped it from the facility on whatever vessel or island he is on, or he could have been granted leave during that span and bought it. As for the GC/MS confirmation test, for all I know the OP could be on vessel that has said equipment, or they could send the OP or the sample off for further testing.
