Well I doubted dilution would work, until I tried it! But you have to do it right!

So in the past i've used the Canadian quickfix once which has worked but this time I didn't feel like spending $50 for a new one. I had been clean not even 2 weeks so I wanted to be safe rather than sorry. I did hours of research on dilution and after reading quite a few negative posts about the subject I became nervous and doubted it would work at all... So here is what I did, 3 days before the test I got my creatine levels up. I did this by taking the recommended dose of powdered supplement once every night. You can do it this way, or eat red meats. The reason for this is because they WILL be testing you're creatine levels. Next, I took 1 prenatal vitamin each day for those 3 days. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it but I had heard something about taking those while preparing for a drug test and it being successful with dilution. Now about 3 hours before my test, I downed so much water. I drank probably a gallon in that time. I began voiding clear urine within an hour of drinking all that water. (I urinated probably 4 or 5 times at home before leaving for the test.) Then, about 1 hour before the test I took 3 pills of vitamin b12 because I wanted to make sure my piss was yellow! Within 30 minutes of the test I drank about 8oz of vinegar to raise the PH in my body because I heard that they will also test for PH. After that I left and went to the testing site and held it for about 45 minutes until I took the test which was pretty difficult lol. 3 days later I got a call informing me that I had passed it! Everywhere that I have read, no one has taken the steps that I did to pass this drug test. I recommend to everyone that you at least give it a try!! :D

If theres any steps that needs to be skipped, its your vinegar step because its completely unnecessary. Unnecessary because pH is not tested to determine overdiluted urine samples. Only creatinine and specific gravity (S/G) are tested to determine overdilution. pH is checked to determine adulteration (use of bleach, additives, etc; to spike a dirty urine sample).

It must be understood that creatinine and S/G checks have become lab SOP in recent years, making sample "color" the least aspect in determining overdilution. Even samples with a nice yellow color to them can still register unsatisfactory S/G and creatinine levels. Therefore, when utilizing dilution techniques, it is now more important to make sure the creatinine and S/G are within satisfactory limits.

[Honeybun93]

Yes that is all true. But i'm not going to have a diluted sample the color of water. If it worked for me, I will continue to do all of the steps and suggest anyone who wants to pass a drug test to do so also.

[Burnt Toast]

But i'm not going to have a diluted sample the color of water. Even if your urine has a nice yellow color to it, thats still not going to prevent the labs from running the creatinine and S/G checks as standard procedure. And as Ive pointed out previously, samples with the proper color can still be ruled "too dilute" due to an unsatsfactory S/G and creatinine levels. Thats just the way it is now. The times and the rules of the game have changed. The days of visual checks to determine overdilution had gone the way of the steam locomotive. And the rest of the readership out there need and deserve to be informed of all this.

And also for the rest of the readership: It must be reminded that dilution techniques (regardless of configuration) are far from being a 100% sure thing. They can backfire if the THCA concentration in the bladder is too high. For particularly most longtime heavy tokers, it would be virtually impossible to dilute that concentration enough without sending the S/G and creatinine levels into a downward spiral and sending up the red flags at the lab.

[Honeybun93]

Yes lol, I know about all of that. I'm not saying it's 100% a sure thing. Not even subbing or using synthetics is 100%. I shared my experience for people to try because it worked for me. That's all. I didn't come here to be bashed on.

Aloha, Honeybun,

There's no bashing that I can see.

The thing is, this is so serious for some folks that B.T. can not leave any misinformation stand.

No Bashing, he just re-stated facts for clarity. :)
(with restraint, yet) :D
There are just too many variables for an "it worked for me", yah?

And congratulation on the pass.
Best wishes

Exactly what Weez said.

I was just pointing out the cold hard facts to take into account for those who choose the dilution route. Now Hon, I dont know of what other site forums youve participated in before, but around here the topic of drug testing is taken very seriously. Too serious for individuals - with careers, families, and freedoms on the line - to just arbitarily "try" various methods to pass the drug test without first being informed of the facts and/or consequences surrounding those methods. Around here, the emphasis on factual information takes precedence over anecdotal narratives.
Its the absence of those facts, as well as the non-facts and misinformation, is what causes an uninformed reader to end up in the unemployment line, or worse, having his/her probation revoked and sent back to the calaboose.

Now, at the risk of breaching my restraint (as Weez had noticed), I will say this: If you, for some reason, object to the fact that the topic of drug testing is taken seriously around these parts, and that the poster is held to a high standard of fact, well thats too bad. Thats how it is here and shall remain. And if that idea is somehow not your cup of tea, then perhaps the Drug Testing forum is not for you.


There are just too many variables for an "it worked for me", yah? Again, exactly what Weez said. Utilizing dilution techniques is essentially a rolling of the dice - what may worked for you may not work for the person next to you.


I'm not saying it's 100% a sure thing. I know you didnt. Because it was I who made that statement, on my own volition, and that statement was directed to the other readers of this thread who may have plans of going the dilution route..TYVM


Not even subbing or using synthetics is 100%. For employment-related situations, subbing (with either a human or synthetic sample) carries a far higher effectiveness rating than any dilution technique. Thats because a 100% drug free sample is being used. With dilution, youre still taking chances with your own dirty urine.
