Finished off an 8th last night ... get a call this morning about a job opportunity that pays quite well and they need someone right away ... I don't want to blow this opportunity because of herb ... if I had to drug test tommorow will the Certo method work?

I've been daily smoking for about 2-3 months now with the occasional 2-3 days lapses here and there ....

I'm already downing water like a madman ... how long does dilution last for?

Well what's done is done ... I couldn't find Certo at Wally World so picked up some stuff called Ball Liquid Jell ( Liquid Pectin )

I emptied one pouch ( 3 fl. oz ) into a cup with some Cranberry juice and downed it about an 1:00-1:30 before the piss test. I drank about 4-5 glasses of water this morning and pissed a good 3-4 times before giving the sample.

About 15 minutes before giving the actual piss I took a leak and it was clear so I downed a Mountain Dew Code Red to add some color .. by the time I was done, I couldn't fully fill the cup to the line but when I gave the cup to the tech he said it was enough. It was a little yellow .. and it wasn't mid-stream as I could only squeeze out a little bit ...

He told me the results go straight to the company and they told me to come in Monday so I'm hoping everything is ok ....

*fingers crossed*

And checking the paperwork for the test shows that it's a :

( ) 35536N SAP 10-50/300 GC/MS

Now typing that into Google shows this page ...http://www.marijuana.com/420/showthread.php?t=38871goto=newpost

The 5th post gives me a glimpse of hope ... can anyone confirm that the posters statement is true?

well ur link wasnt working for me, but i querried it on yahoo and i think all it means is that it is a 10 panel test with a 50ng cutoff, 300ng cutoff and confirmation with GC/MS. Was this the paperwork they gave you right after ur sample was submitted? if so i dont think it is of any significance. Let us know how it worked out for you.

anyways the post is about some lady whos husband smoked and yada yada but a post from a guy says that the gc/ms costs $150 and is only used in case of a positive .. so she shouldn't worry.

Well how do they determine it's positive right away? ... the tech took the sample and put it into two seperate vials and marked the temperature but I didn't see anything on the vial to indicate a color change or the like .. he stuffed it into a plastic bag with the paperwork and told me the results would come back in 48-72 hours.

All I'm hoping for is that NO call from the MRO ... no news is good news when it comes to this right?

Im kinda interested to see what happens in your case.Don't want to get my hopes up but I just heard from the employer that they're deciding on my start date so it looks like I passed?

I won't be fully relieved until I actually get that start date so lets say I'm 50% sure I passed.

Wow, i think it seems like either way, u didnt have enough time to drink the certo and fluid before the test. U said u took it around 1-1.5 hrs before the test? Though ur piss was clear, it apparently was not enough fluid for dilution to work. Certo is cook with dilution as a back up plan. The omni cleansing softgel contains some creatine, which would help with dilution.

what exactly did they tell u?The lady from the testing facility called and announced who she was, asked me to verify my social then said I tested + for marijuana. Then she asked if I had any medical conditions which would cause me to come up + .. I said no and she asked me the last time I smoked, I told her then she said marijuana stays in your system for 6-8 weeks if you're a regular user and that she'd have to report this information to the hiring company. I said fine and she said goodbye.

Lost out on a good opportunity but when one door closes, another one opens up so I'm not letting it get me down ... :)

And me being the hardhead I am, I killed 3 joints last night and boy was it good after taking a week long break .. hit me hard and lasted a long time ... I'll probably be taking another piss test for a few upcoming interviews but feel confident I'll be able to pass with more knowledge of dilution methods.

I think you will pass next time too... It sounds like you just did not drink enough fluids on the test day. I was hoping you'd pull through, and was terrified once you failed that I would fail. I actually passed my test though, and the only differences that I can see in our strategies is that I seemed to drink more water and Gatorade, and I used Certo instead of whatever brand you did. Good luck to you in the future...
