for those on Probation

I have been reading the info on this board for the last few months and it has proven to be very insightful and informative. I wanted to post a little something about my experience currently on probation for those that are also in the same position.

For my smoking background...The first 3 years I started to smoke I smoked on the weekends only. For the last 4 years of smoking I have smoked every day, multiple times a day. In those four years I probably had a weeks worth of clean days. As you can see I was an avid smoker. I am 5'9", 200 lbs. I work out and have a muscle mass but could also afford to lose about 25 lbs. I currently work out on the weekends, walk 2 or 3 times a week, and drink about 6-9 16.9 fl/oz regular bottles of spring water a day I would describe my metabolism as normal. Anyway, I stopped smoking about 2 weeks before I was put on probation. I purchased a cleansing program from GNC that consisted of 3 pills to take daily for a week. After about 32-36 days I took a 5 panel at home test and passed it. The THC line to longer to come up then the other 4 lines and it was faint. A month later, 63 days of being clean I was given my first PO test and passed. So to recap after 7 years of heavy smoking I passed a at home test after 30 days and a probation test, which I believe is basically the same, after 60 days.

I now smoke the same day after I see my PO , about 1 or 2 bowls or a blunt, and sometimes the day after. I proceed to take an home test myself after 2 weeks and have passed every time. I have also smoked a few bowls a day for 6 days straight and then passed an at home test 2 weeks later. I usually take the test first thing atin the morning, peeing directly into the cup. I have only been tested one more time at probation and have passed. This was after 29 days free of smoking and drinking a normal amount of water.

Obviously the best way to beat the test is to not smoke but if you must then it could be done. Like I said I usually give myself 28-30 days of not smoking before I see my PO. Even then I only smoke about 2-4 bowls.

This is why self testing is important. Everybody is different. I'm a heavy 280 lbs 6'1" and can smoke 3 nights in a row and be clean 3 or 4 days after depending on how heavily I smoke.

Thats correct. I can also not stress enough about self testing. Now if you take a random test or if you are applying for a job then it is a little difficult to gauge how much you can smoke. However if you are like me and like many other who can possibly get tested every 29-35 days when seeing a PO then you can easily figure out how much you can smoke and how long it takes for you to clean your system.

Does anyone know (FakeBoobsRule) what the cutoff level of a probation UI is? The two times I had to take it it was just a 5 panel dip test.
