hey guys,
I posted this message first on the drug testing forum but didn't realize there was one for NJ people specifically, lots of useful information on this board but I figured I'd give it a shot to see if anyone has ever been through the bergen co. probation office in hackensack nj before. I got busted last winter for possession under 50 grams (first offense ever). In june I had my court date and was accepted into the conditional discharge program (basically probation for 6 months) and in late july I got a letter from my PO saying he wants me to come in august 17th (did not specify in the letter whether a drug test will happen, just that the meeting will last approximately 30 minutes and that I MUST BE ON TIME :D .) Now, I consider myself a rather heavy smoker when I am not in school, so once my court date was past, I started up again and well, basically, I have a feeling that if he will test me on the 17th, im gonna show up positive (even though I have been exercising, dieting, sweating, drinking detox tea, etc. etc for the past week and a half) If anyone has ever been in this position before or has even pissed a dirty in nj probation, let me know what exactly happens. I've heard that some get a second test and that they just test the levels the first time around, others have told me that I face jail and/or some sort of rehab (the jail part I doubt since the state did get all my money right away). I'm just confused so if anyone can elaborate on this, its much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys!

Go back and read your court papers. If one of the conditions of your probation is drug testing, it will say so. And if that's the case, it would have been a good idea not to smoke. If drug testing is NOT a condition of your probation, you have nothing to worry about. If they still drug test you, you need to talk to your lawyer.
