One Step Strip Question

I've scoured and lurked this forum for the past month and appreciate the wealth of accurate data. Yeah, there are still some people that believe that vinegar, Certo and Magic Potions will help (I wish them luck) posting here, but the moderators do a great job of setting them straight. I agree that this is a serious topic and should be addressed as such, yes some of us have families to support and are good upstanding citizens that believe that Marijuana laws should be repealed. But enough of my beliefs...

A little background...40 year old, 6'1, 175lbs. ~8% body fat, metabolism like a 20 year old. Been an evening / closet smoker for at least 20 years, commercial regs, nothing special about an oz a month. Take Metamucil everyday, normal healthy diet, lots of coffee and bottled water, multivitamin daily and 16 oz. V8. Not a big exerciser, just chasing my kids...

Opportunity for 6 figure job coming up in Medical Field: Urinalysis (Drug screen), Blood Work (TB,etc), Physical, so this is serious for me. Cold turkey 32 days ago.

In '96 passed after 14 days with combination H2O and AZO. Since then I've learned that the AZO can actually trigger false positive so not going down that road and now realize that the dilution is what passed. I can sub if I have to, clean friend, only concerned about physical and stashing bottle.

Been self testing first morning void and evenings with One Step THC strips 50ng cutoff. At ~ 14 days very faint lines with mixed results since....some faint , some more visible. Cloudy urine appears to create a weaker line. No absolute positives. I read that any line is a good line, but is there a difference in the quality of the color? Will a weak line and an untrained tester send the test to GC/MS only to fail? I do not have a clean sample to compare against at this point and was wondering if anyone has experimented and visually seen the results of a completely clean sample? Is it also weak in the line dept? Used water and it came back solid red, so now I have some concern...

I will update everyone after the test with my results...still no test date but I anticipate within the next 2 weeks....

Thanks in advance, buds!!!

A line is a line, faint or dark. If your passing with the first void then your going to be good at test time. I would still do a mild dilution the morning of the test, substituting gatorade for water.

In addition you can always go pay for your own THC test at your local testing facility if you are worried about the accuracy of home tests. I have never once left it up to chance. Good luck.

Want to thank Deige and Webdox for their always expert advice. glad there are gentlemen on this forum that know their goods....

Yesterday purchased Fir$t Ch3ck Kit from CV$. THC panel only. Opened this AM, used first void of day, really unsure of the results....waxy center faint pink on outer edges, it was difficult to tell, not what I was expecting. Well, it got boxed up and sent out priority mail for GC/MS testing at their labs. Looking to 5-7 days plus 2 day travel time for results. I am curious to see what comes back as the One $tep Strips are consistently visible even on first void. One $tep rated at 98% accuracy, Fir$t Ch3ck @ 99%. I've had protein in urine before, I've read this can affect test result as well...crossing my fingers. The 70 day dirty and 35 day 200ng/ml freaks posting are causing me stress, I hope it is inaccurate, or extra-ordinary info being posted and not consistent with the norm....guess I'll find out soon enough.

40 days and counting.....hopefully will get the results before interview which is undetermined, but soon. Started exercise routine tonight, need to quit smoking ciggs anyways, half-mile run - 3/4 mile walk ~40min. good sweat and nice runner high...forgot how good it felt after all these years.

I'll update soon. TIA!

Good luck bud, if you want to shed a little more THCA the pick up some Metamucil and follow the recommended dosage. This will help you to shed some THCA through your colon.

Been actively using for about 2 months now....mainly to get cholesterol down, but secondly I refer to it as Pr0zac for your a$$....it's an awesome product!

I did read on some posts re: and again appreciate the added info!
