Should I risk it?

[drivebyphilosopher]

So, I am a VERY occasional smoker. The last time I smoked was february 19th. The time before that, I smoked on January 1st. I have a drug test to get my FAA certification (I am becomming a pilot) that I can take either in March 23rd, or April 23rd. If I take it March 23rd, I can smoke weed right after that for the next year. If I take it then, though, would I pass? I cant risk this at ALL. If I get tested positive, it basically ruins my life. suggestions?

what kind of test is it? it would be important to find that out. it its a urine test it could show a postive result for marijuana anywhere from 3-30 days. less if you dont smoke that much for you ild be safe to say that you wouldnt get caught even after a week from smoking dope. but if its a different kind of test i wouldnt be so sure find out what kind of test it is and look up the duration after smoking that the the test would show a positve result.

THC can remain in your system for a month, but that doesn't mean you'll fail a urine test. THC is stored in fat cells and released as those cells are consumed for energy; thus, the faster your metabolism, the faster the THC will leave your body (through your urine).

Luckily, urine tests cannot tell how much THC is in your body or how much THC you consumed; all they can tell is how much is in the urine sample. Thus, there are two ways to help pass a test. One is to clear out as much of the THC as possible. Since it's been a month for you, most of it should have already cleared out, assuming your metabolism isn't extraordinarily slow. The other is to dilute your urine by drinking lots of water.

Urine testing occurs in two phases. The first is a cheap, fairly inaccurate test of THC concentration. If this test reports a concentration above a certain cut-off, a more expensive, more precise test is then done. If the first test comes back below that cut-off, the other test is never done to save money. While the more expensive tests are rather accurate and can probably only be passed by having little to no THC in your system, the first test can be passed merely by drinking enough water to dilute your urine.


I'm getting a bit long-winded and I'm not sure exactly where I'm going with all this, so I'll cut to the chase. It's been a month, so you should be fine. If you want to be extra cautious, start drinking plenty of water from now until the test. On the day of the test, make sure that you urinate at least once beforehand. Drink plenty of water after urinating and before the test so your urine will be somewhat diluted. When you're actually preparing the urine sample, try to capture the middle of your urination; the beginning and end will have a higher concentration of THC.

If they're not using a standard urine test, of course, that changes things.

Would that clean you up if you smoke like 3-4 J's a day?

i think you would have to take the niacin + drink a lot of water + exercise for like 4 days to a week for it to work really good...my friend was dumb and took like 50 of them once and passed a drug test for his PO and he only had 2 hours after he took them before he had to drop...and he couldnt leave the building so we had to get get him the pills :rolleyes:

There is no risk. You'll pass. Even if you were a daily smoker and quit a month before the test you should be able to pass it without taking any precautions. If you are serious about only smoking once every month to month and a half it's a non issue. I've sort of been in a similar situation twice, about five or six years ago. Both times I had a surprise test sprung on me and didn't have time to prepare. For the first one I smoked a joint with a friend 8 days before the test, but I hadn't smoked for about 1 1/2 to 2 months before that. It didn't show up on my piss test. Pretty much the same thing happened the second time... I had a surprise test, I smoked a gm 13 days before the test, but hadn't smoked in a month before that. There were no traces of weed in my piss test.

If its been that long dont bother with drinking large amounts of water. They know if youve flushed your system with water, because your urine will mostly be... water. So to avoid suspicion just walk in and take you test man, balls out!:thumbsup:

It's impossible to say with any accuracy whether or not you should "risk it". Numbers given out in this forum are generalizations. So many factors go into this it's impossible for anyone to say. How are they testing, how thorough is the testing, etc. Many labs will be able to see if you diluted your urine sample by drinking lots of water the day of, for example. However, whoever is testing may not be paying for such a service. If you use detox, they can test for that too, as long as someone is paying for it. However, based on what you've said, you should be fine. If you only smoke about once a month, I imagine whatever you smoke will be cleared out fairly rapidly.

If they do a urine test your good, if they do a hair follicle test you are fucked, i think.
