Hey guys, I just took a drug test yesterday morning (Wed. the 8th) and was wondering how long it usually takes for the lab to call you in case of a diluted or failed test?
I drank a lot of gatorade on the day of the test (as well as taking aspirin and vitiman B12), and it's been 2 weeks since I stopped smoking, so I don't think I failed it, but I want to fire up a celebratory bowl and was wondering if doing it on Friday night would be a tad premature?

Did YOU pay for the test or was it for a pre-employment test?
My experience was that since my test was a pre-employment test that was paid for by the company, I was not permitted to obtain the results. It had to go directly to them and it was their responsibility to let me know if I passed or failed.

No it was pre-employment, but I would assume that they would be calling me if there was a problem when they got the results.

Also, from what I understand, doesn't the lab call you to re-test if you test "negative, but diluted"?
There's very, very little chance that I tested positive.

I'm not sure on that. I had never taken a drug test before last week and I passed that one.

No news is good news.
Call them and ask them when you can start,And dont mention anything about the test.

Out of curiosity, what happens when you DO fail a pre-employment test? Is it just that you don't get the job, or do you get reported as well?
If there's a chance of getting screwed with the law, I would NEVER apply for such a job.

Usually they just have you take the test again (i think). But due to standards i never accept a job if they try to drug test me i simply get too offended to even work there

I already know when I start, but I just didn't want to be a moron and fire one up too early, then get the news that I have to retest due to dilution
Thanks guys :-)

You either don't get the job or they have you retest.
For pre-employment screens, just having the metabolites in your system doesn't actually PROVE use, as far as I know, so legally they can't do anything. But the private company has the right not to hire you based on it. (Private companies and all that)

What up everybody. I have a urine test coming up on Tuesday morning for a job and usually take a couple hits from a bowl 4 nights a week. It will be five days since I smoked by the time I take the test. What is the best thing to do or take?

For pre-employment tests it usually only takes 36-48 hours for results to be called in to the employer. You can always use Quick Fix for a retest. It works. Search the threads for all the discussion between Barron and I about QF.
