View Full Version : every day smoker over 30 years

:rolleyes: Ok, here we go. I have been an everyday smoker for over 30 years (not counting a couple of dry spells) hapily burning 3-6 joints a day, having been self employed for most of those years and not having to dwell on passing a drug test for employment. :smokin:

I have only recently become aquainted with the prospects of having to pass one, as I have been offered a job oportunity doing something I might enjoy, if I do not have to alter the lifestyle I have grown to relish.:smokin:

However the pre-employment drug test (probably a piss test) is a fact I will have to deal with. :(

I have read several advertisments for products which offer many times its purchase value as a refund if their product produces a failing result, but have seen little feedback on these types of products in this forum.:confused:

Of these products, I have heard positive reports for the Strip 32 oz and the Strip 16 oz instant products. :cool:

I was wondering if anyone in this forum has had first hand experiences with any of these 2 products, and perhaps would share the details as to their preparation for the use of same, and the outcome of their experience.:thumbsup:

I am over 200 lbs and natural de-toxification is not is not an option, abstainance is not one of my strong points.
And besides, I can't imagine any job being worth that.:rolleyes:

I will probably only have 2-3 days notice of a testing, and it could be as little as same day notice.:(

Thanks in advance for any helpful info:thumbsup:

being a retired longhaul truckdriver, and lifelong smoker, I have seen many drug-test remedies come and go ... unless some space-age discovery has occurred, I can tell you that none of these solutions do as advertised ... IN MY OPINION: nothing will work that claims to 'flush' your sytem out, the only way to pass a test is to substitute 'clean' urine, the detox products are a waste of time and money ... YOU WILL FLUNK if you are not abstaining for a minimum of a month to six weeks ... again, this is only MY opinion, before you flame me, understand I have known many people that have tried everything out there, and come crying that they were fired ... :smokin:

Order something along the lines of the wizzanator (sp?), just need a way to deliver the correct temp piss from a concealed container. That way you know for sure and only have to order piss from then on out. I would also suggest dehydrated urine to carry on your person when working just in case you have an injury. Most places require drug tests when youâ??re injured. Donâ??t use synthetic, get some from a clean friend or order some. Temp is very important so experiment with hot water just so you know.

I served in the military for the last 4 years and never failed supervised piss tests.

:I am over 200 lbs and natural de-toxification is not is not an option, abstainance is not one of my strong points.
And besides, I can't imagine any job being worth that.:rolleyes:

Well I guess I won't know if this job is worth it or not if I don't get it, so I have pretty well come to the conclusion that the only sure fire way to pass the drug test I will have to take to be considered for this position is abstainance, as I couldn't bring myself to substitute, and from what I have read here in the past several weeks has led me to believe dillution may not work.

So I am posting this to share my experience thus far in hopes of informing others with a similar dilema.
I have purchased several THC test strips from a reliable source on ebay and I have abstained from smoking for 31 days so far and still not testing negative,:mad: even after a great deal of sweating for the last week .

To throw another glich into the works I have been taking flexerill and lortabs through a pain management clinic to which I have also stopped (at a great deal of discomfort) about 3 days ago just in case they are interacting with the THC test. By the way if anyone knows how long those substances stay in a persons metabolites I would like to know, because even though they are prescribed I would just as soon not have this employer know of them.;)

I will continue hard manual labor and sweating until that 2nd red line appears
on my test strip, and then I will toss my hat into the ring and submit to big brother.:confused:

If everone used drugs would drug testing become obsolete?:dance:

Honestly I believe that majority have done some type of drugs (even the legal pharmacy stuff) in there lifetime. The only reason why it's still illegal is because the government hasn't perfected a way of complete control of it (importing/exporting) and taxing it to hell like they do tobacco. Drug testing is crap anyway. You tell me someone who huffs antifreeze everyday can get a job over me because I smoke trees occasionally? Only way they'll get rid of drug testing is if they start testing for tobacco. Whew, think of how many people would be bitching then? lmao

Hello everybody,
For all to know,STRIP NC by COVERTLABS doesnt work.I have 3 empty bottles
to prove it.I use it at three different times and FAILED THREE TIMES.
Now try and contact covertlabs and all I got was a recording , email them
and nothing,no answer.I am over 200LBS. and followed the directions and still
FAILED.AT $50.00 A BOTTLE.
Here's the thing There is 3 piss tests.One is a Cheap'o test,can be fooled by
any toxins cleaners.The second test is alot harder to fool.The 3rd is a 10
panel drug test.This tests for all the bad drugs,met,cocaine, heroin, barbiturates,and so on.THE INSURANCE CONPANYS are behine all this
Perempolyment testing.I bet they own stock in the testing labs,if they dont own a few of them.
I passed one test,but I didnt smoke or do any drugs for 6 Months, I was on probation for disorderly conduct.The day it was over I smoked a big fat one.
3 days later I had to drug test for a job,I didnt smoke any for the 3 days and used strip nc .It worked that time.So if you have to test DONT SMOKE FOR
30 DAYS use the strip the night before and 4 hours before the test,drink 2gals
of water and piss alot.YOU MAY PASS THE TEST NO GUARANTEE.
ITs' a crapshoot useing any of the toxin cleaners.The THC stays in your body for 30 days,stored in your fat tissues.
Her's one for you, I took a drug test for a job and failed.THE company contacted me to say I failed the test and I had to PAY THEM for THE DRUG TEST.I told them to piss up a rope and put that test where the sun doesnt shine.They send me a Bill for the test.I didnt pay it,So they reported it to the
credit bureau.I called my attorney{SHARK}and started a law sued,boy did they start jumping up & down.along story short they payed the attorney bill
and remove the clam from the credit bureau,and I got $3000.00 for all my trouble.If they want to drug test you they pay for it bottom line.
So to all that has to test good luck.

Well, day 40 and the faint red line reappeared and was the same for day 41, and here we are at day 42 and the 2nd red line is still faint :mad: but becoming more vivid, but I still would not want to trust being under the cutoff point at this time, and would have to caution anyone in believing that even 6 weeks is enough time for every person to detox naturally.:confused:

I have smoked for 35 years and clean out in 28 days, just in time to pass my tests, I drink lots of water every day so I think that is a big factor.

stoned in paradise
09-14-2006, 09:12 PM
As fakeboobs will atest drinking alot of water during the days leading up to a drug test does not do much to rid the THC metabolites of ones body. :(

I know this is true because I also drink a fair amount of water as I work outdoors in 90+ degree heat, there are days I will drink in excess of 2 gallons of water and average about 1 gallon a day. ;)

Other factors such as body fat and the amount of substance consumed and of course the quality of that substance are the major contributing factors in which the body will rid itself of the THC metabolites, and as I have stated earlier my usage has been quite heavy (aprox. 2 grams a day) for many years, with the quality being better than average:rasta:

And as far as body fat is concerned I am arround 215 LBS at 5'11'' so I am definately capable of storing a fair amount of THC metabolites, and when you combine these factors with an aparant slow metabolism rate it is not surprising to see the results I am reporting, discouraging but not surprising.

So here we are at 44 days of abstaining and I am still only getting a faint 2nd red line, but I am not giving up hope of one day soon seeing that bold red line on the test line.:dance:

You can't get that stupid simply from smoking weed, it just can't happen !!!!!

And for those that are still following my personal progress, we are at day 48 and still not a bold line for the test line, and it looks real odd on a 5 panel test where you get 4 bold lines, and then the line for THC is so faint in comparison it would make anybody suspiscious. :confused:

But I will emerge victorious, :dance:

Hey stoned in paradise just out of curiosity do you feel you have had any long term affects from smoking marijuana for 30 years. I'm just curious because most long term affects are not really known. You might hear from DARE how it will fry your brain or whatever, but a lot of that is crap. Would you say you have any serious long term affects? Or has marijuana pretty much been a positive part of your life for the last 30 years?

stoned in paradise
09-19-2006, 12:36 PM
Drew that is a good question, I am not really sure what is meant by "long term effects".

Personally I started smoking pot on an everyday basis in 1971, and was a casual smoker for about 3 years before that.

That would put me at about 35 years smoking everyday, while through the 70s smoking mostly an OZ a week (mexican) until the paraquot (spelling) scare and then switching to columbian gold at about 1/2 OZ a week.
Slipping in a little domestic green every now and again. good green mind you.

But from the 80s until present (or at least up to 7 weeks ago) I have tried to make an OZ last 2 weeks, depending on the quality of course, sometimes longer and sometimes shorter.

Now as far as any adverse effects I know of none, I have been described by long time friends as someone who could tell you what I had for lunch 25 years ago. And most of my family and friends no longer question me when I make refference to happenings that took place many years ago, as they have tired of being wrong.

As far as short term memory, I have not noticed any depreciation in that regard as well. My learning ability may have slowed just a tad, but is that an effect of smoking pot or just a simple fact of life as you progress in age?

Now do not take that last statement wrong, it is not to imply I am a slow learner, it is to only imply I am not quite as fast as I once was, to illustrate this I give as an example a test I recently took with a group of about 20 other people, where a device had to be broken down and reassembled.

In years long past gone, this type of test would show me finishing this task between first and third. Now I find myself finishing in sixth place.

So is it because of the increased age or is it because I have been a pot head for over 30 years, much to complicated for me to figure out, or even want to.

But one thing I do want to add is, most of my formal education had been completed before I started smoking weed, and I do feel strongly about getting an education and finding your place in life before becoming a pothead like me.

Also I would have to say that I have had no visible negative physical effects
from smoking dope all these years.

Now, can all of this change in the upcoming years? what is really meant by "long term effects"?

Are we talking 30 years? 40 years? 50 years? I really do not know what is meant by "long term effects"

I am sure you have read some of my other posts on this board, and I ask,
does it sound like my brain is fried?

I have read many posts by other long time smokers that certainly sound as if they have their shit together as well.

And I would like to add this one last thing, nearly everyone in which I have daily contact with (outside of my family of course) would never even suspect me of being a pot head, even the many law enforcement individuals I have frequent contact with.

I'm just curious because most long term affects are not really known.

Pehaps it is because the government can not find many, and of the ones science proclames there to be, how many of those could have been in reallity caused from other toxins or abuse from other substances?

09-19-2006, 06:45 PM
You definatly do sound like an intelligent person, certainly not someone who is fried out. Wow 35 years is a long time, of course it would because i'm only 22 :D You seem to sound like the other long time smokers i have talked to, no real noticable problems with memory or health in general, just a long period of happy smoking that has improved there life. I do agree that smoking and education can definatly be a problem, i'm currently in college and have had to limit myself at times. Mostly the problem just comes from wanting to smoke and getting sidetracked from things i need to do. I havent had any problems learning or anything like that. I usually try to keep smoking to the weekends as much as possible as college can be a busy time during the week. And actually I find smoking always keeps me fascinated with the things i'm studying, I began to see chemistry in a whole new light, instead of just some dry boring material I began to see how incredible the things i was learning really is, how complex and organized the world is at such a small level. For me marijuana drives me to be a better person and to truly appreciate the world, far different from most of the propaganda you hear about how marijuana will turn you into an unmotivated loser. Although you do have to be carefull not to overdue it while your going to school, to much can be a bad thing, i guess you just have to be responsible, some people probably couldnt handle it. Anyways thanks for the respons its always nice to listen to what a long term smoker has to say.

ive read before that it can take up to a couple of months to clean out your body to the point of passing a drug test especially if you smoke every day for years.
it shouldnt take that long for an occasional smoker but there is no simple answer as it can vary.

Well, here is my input it is only my opinion.
I am a heavy smoker and overweight. Different things apparently work for different people but......I have used Zydot for a random drug test (smoked the night before) and I passed. To be safe order the bigger bottle or drink 1 1/2 of the regular bottles. Do not use pill form of anything it doesn't work as well. That being said - I am abstaining for a test and will have been clean for 30 days when I test - I am going to use the zydot them too just in case.....good luck to all! :thumbsup:

09-28-2006, 11:41 PM
Well, here is my input it is only my opinion.
I am a heavy smoker and overweight. Different things apparently work for different people but......:

This is very true, and length of abstainance to clean out will not be the same for everyone, as I have abstained for 8 weeks and 2 days (58 days) (it feels like forever), and the test line is still faint, and 2 days ago it could barely be seen, it was almost invisible, talk about depressed, but todays results is a faint line which compared to the control line I would have to say is only about 25% of the color of the control line and about 75% of the width of the control line, so to say the least it leaves alot to be desired at this point, and when compared to the other 4 in a 5 panel screen, surely would still prove to be a red flag.

Now I know what is being thought, that I have some bad test strips. NOT SO, I got my wife to do a sample (she does not partake at all) and her test line was just as bright and bold as the control line, and appeared immediately whereas my faint line may take up to 3 minutes to completely appear.

So, for all those who give the advise that someone will be clean after 30 days
or for that matter after 6 weeks of abstaining will automatically be clean, should be cautioned, because their advise may help someone fail their test.

Now we must keep in mind there are alot of factors in which have to be considered and everyones situation is unique, and when you consider my intake over the length of time, combined with a fair amount of body fat it would not be uncommon for the cleansing period to easily exceed 60 days.

Even though I have read that even a faint line on the test line will pass, I will hold out for certainty.:thumbsup:

And besides, I am really looking forward to burning that big fat one once my objective has been met, and then seeing how long it takes for that to erase all that it took so long to achieve:dance:

I smoke cannabis occasionally, and got caught with a post-accident drug screen test... My employers were very insensitive; the day of my accident was when my father was having MAJOR bypass surgery, and I had to be there for him, because he is my freakin' father- I waited 2 hours, and left, called the office before I left, no answer, so left a message saying I would return tomorrow to test, and they fired me on the spot.

I can understand scrutiny, but I was a very hardworking and responsible person, and never gave ANYONE a reason to doubt that I was drug free. I guess it's nothing but calculated objective shit I was dealing with from the company.

Keep us notified on the progress, Paradise! Hang in there!

how did you do on your test

I have not taken the test for the position yet, fortunately it is an open offer, one which be available to me until I am ready to accept it ( if I choose to do so).

And this is a good thing, because this is my 65th day (9 weeks, 2 days, 2 hours and 40 minutes to be more exact) of abstaining, and I am still getting only a faint line on my home test strips, and occasionally the faint line is almost invisible, such as it was on the day before yesterday.

However todays home test showed the best test line yet, as thick as the control line, but only about half as bold in color as the control line.

A good solid and bright red line is expected soon, and in anticipation of that glorious red line appearing, I have procured, which appears to be, and has the reputation of being something that during my celebratory period will have the opportunity to live up to its reputation :dance: :dance: :dance:
(after I accept the offer and the negative results are produced of course)

AFTER ALL, AS ONE GETS OLDER ONE MUST TO DO ALL ONE CAN DO, TO WARD OFF ALZHIEMERS DISEASE.

well ive been smokeing 3-5 joints a day for the past 10 years. First time i had to take a drug test it was a Hair test. i went and bought the Detox shampoo and a pint of vinager. quite for 3 days applied the shit and rinsed and washed with vinigar except for the final rinse. came out negitive.

Second time i had to piss. i went and bought the Detox drink x2. 1 for the first day of quiting and on 12 hours prior to test. came out negitive.

Heres a good idea to take in to consideration. Buy the drink. read the direction and chug the drink as directed and test aftwords as direct. (meaning if it says drink 2-3 hours prior of the test then test after 2-3 hours)
the one i bought said they'ed double your money back if you fail. it cost me like $30 so if you fail at your house (not droping for work) you get $60 back and if it works you know yoru clean. shit 40+ days of quiting fuck that. id give the drinks a try.

well not sure how picky jobs are (never watched it for a job) but i was on probation for 8 years and the last 2 years i had random drug screens and the PO used a 5 drug tester from BIOTECH. even the drugs iv NEVER done like herion or crack had faint lines its the NO LINERS she don't like and the REALLLLY faint ones. but if she could see a line she would send it to the lab or throw it out and say its good. so another thing tothink about

Just a semi-joke observation here:

My mom (50+) has been smoking since, who knows, i'm going to say about 30-35 years, and she's going blind now. I mean her multitasking skills are immaculate. She can roll a joint, drive, and talk on the phone all at the same time without flinching, but cannot find the milk in the fridge when it's sitting in front of her. Other than that, I love her to death and she's pretty functional, law-abiding, God-fearing, human being that everyone knows her to be.

Now what I will say, and I understand that everyone bodies works in different ways, when she is on her smoking "kick", she gets a little touchy/attitudish. What can go from "plz vaccum the floor for me luv", can go to "wtf is wrong with you kids, vaccum the #@$# floor #$@##$..." without her daily intake.

So no, I haven't seen my mom brain fry like that egg on that commerical, or drown like the girl in the attic commerical. Besides her flucuations in her mood from not smoking (let's say 3 days-2 weeks@most), she's a beautiful, normal and functioning human being.

Unless it makes you go blind, but let's hope that just old age kicking in :D

This thread makes me feel warm and fluffy - good luck my friend. I have only been self employed 2 years but damn well intend to keep it that way (hopefully for as long as you) so this is an inspirational thread for sure.

:abstainance is not one of my strong points.
And besides, I can't imagine any job being worth that.:rolleyes:

Well I guess I won't know if this job is worth it or not if I don't get it:

WELL FOR THE FINAL UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE:

After 10 weeks and 2 days of abstainance, my quest had finally come to its end. The red test line had become almost as bold as the control line.
Now take note 72 days since I last burned.

There was no doubt that I could pass any piss test.
I submitted my resume, and was called in for 3 interveiws, and that has been followed by the scheduled drug testing.

However much to my surprise, the test that is in store for me would be the lesser invasive saliva test and not the urine test at all.

Now talk about a real pisser, or actually a no pisser.

A test which to all my research had revealed, has a window of detection for most of the drugs tested for, of about 72 hours maximum, and the test for THC an even shorter window of detection, some reports stating that THC may only be detected for a maximum of a few hours after ingesting, with a saliva drug screen.

With all the interviews out of the way, and the drug test scheduled for the latter part of this week, and no doubt of the outcome, I felt pretty comfortable about this new endeavor.

But you have all heard the warning "be carefull of what you wish for because it may come true"

THIS IS A VERY PROFOUND STATEMENT!!!!!!!

I have mentioned earlier that I have been self employed for most of the last 30 years, mostly in service oriented businesses.

I had a few weeks prior to embarking on this quest of natural cleansing, placed a bid on a job that showed a lot of promise as a very lucrative and career advancing opportunity, but with no immediate response to my bid, I soon dismissed it as a viable outcome and moved on.

Now with the 3rd and final interview over with and the drug test scheduled, I was pretty sure of my new path, I thought as I downed my first beer of the evening, even the downing of the 2nd beer reinforced that feeling, but when I popped the cap on that 3rd beer my phone rang, and sure enough the wish I had once wished for had come true, my bid had been accepted.

Now it was explained that even though my bid had been accepted I would not be obligated, as the date of my offer had expired and if I declined at this time they would just go to the next bidder,but gave me to the end of business on Friday for my final decision.

Now I am faced with a huge decission, do I give in to the man and follow the path of the unknown, and the mental anquish of randoms lurking in the background,

or follow through with a wish come true that allows me the flexability of the lifestyle I have come to relish, and one that has treated me well throughout the years.

Even though it only took only a few minutes to read this, it took much longer to put these word to print, and with that passing of time I have made an executive decission and,

I think it is time to burn that big fat one I once talked about.:thumbsup: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

just tell your boss that if you stop you are litteraly putting your health at risk
as it has been shown that MJ:
-prevents cancer (lung and other)
-provents psychosomatic illnesses (stress caused shit)
-prevents Alzheimer's
-May produce anxiolyic and antidepressent effects.
in other words chronic use may decrease liklyhood of getting depression

enjoy
