I am hoping that some people with experience can give me some advice as to what they would do in my situation. I also have a few questions. I have been clean for a week when I found out I might be getting this job but that wont do much good with my recent habits. Dilution is a last resort backup plan at this point. I now understand why its not worth the stress of being in this position that can ruin my dreams.
I am about to take a subtance abuse screen for employment very soon. The thing is the friend i was depending on had smoked lasted saturday which puts me in a bind (not his fault but mine for being in the situation). He hasn't smoked prior since new years and very rarely prior to new years maybe twice a month. Although I think it will be ok, I am still skeptical to use his urine. After a week I would think he is fine but I don't want to take a chance of failing if not necessary. Could use a self "home test" but of course that is not a guarantee. Finding another friend in the area will be tough so I was looking into synthetic - Quick Fix 4.0.
I have two packages of QF4 since I have read suggestions to take two bottles to be sure you give enough and don't make it look like an obvious, set amount of liquid. The only thing is that I am also skeptical of using synthetic as I am afraid it can at some point be detected even if you get the correct temp.
1) Can someone tell me if QF 4.0 can be deemed synthetic by lab testing generally used for employment tests given the right temp?
2) Would your suggestion be to use this friends urine or go synthetic?
3) If using a handwarmer that gets up to 115+ F can you "cook" real OR synthetic urine to the point where its no good? I recently found "toe warmers" at a sporting goods store that supposedly only reached about 105 F. I wouldnt want to use these if when I practice the temp is hard to keep above or at 98 if the warmer doesnt reach max temps.
4) If its a substance abuse screen and I use a friends urine, should I be sure that they haven't consumed alchohol in the day? 2 days? Being a legal substance, do they check for alchohol abuse? I should research this but I figured it would be quicker to ask since I am already asking other hard to find questions/answers :)
5) Not really a question but a statement. If you are looking for a job or plan on getting one, do yourself a favor and play it safe. STOP smoking ASAP! Its not worth the stress and the possibility of ruining what could be a career that you have worked very hard for.
Thanks in advance for your opinions and answers!
