Let me start with basics. I'm 5'9, female, and 190 lbs. Overweight, but not obese. I have a relatively slow metabolism, hence the overweight problem. I've been smoking fairly regularly (2-3 times per week) but never very much at a time. Like I'd pack a small bowl and share it with my roommate. That's it. I have a court hearing on Aug 16, and I know I'll be tested. The last time I smoked was day before yesterday, which would put me at 17 days clean by test time. Yesterday, I started a 15-day herbal cleanse for weight loss support, and I've been taking a thermogenic metabolism booster as per label instructions. I've been eating healthy for a few months, losing weight (40 lbs since Feb! Yay!), and I try to get in an hour or so of cardio every day but that just doesn't happen sometimes. I also drink massive amounts of water (it's basically all I drink anyway, and on the cleanse and thermogenics I need the extra hydration).
Do you guys think I can pass after 17 days clean? Or should I try dilution? I've read the Dilution - Tips, Tricks, and Guidelines sticky post, and if I did dilute, I would use pedialyte and load up on creatine and B-12. Someone give me some feedback, this test is important and I can't afford to fail!

First off, go get a home THC drug test from CVS or whatever drug store is near you right now (First Check THC home test is about $18). Take the test the FIRST urination of the day (when you wake up tomorrow) and see if you pass or not. Second, since THC is stored in your bodies fat cells, you don't want to be exercising a few days before your test as this will release more THC into your urine. Exercising is a good way to help rid your body of THC but it can work against you if you work out in the few days leading up to your test. You want your body to go into hibernation mode for the test so to speak.

I'm sorry, I misread. don't take the drug test now. Wait until your court date draws closer. My point is, you can use the home drug test as a tool to know if you're good or not.

Ok. So I should take it 3 or 4 days before hand right? So if I need to dilute I'll have time to load up on creatine?
Then maybe take another the morning of with FMU so I have a better idea as to what to expect?

Actually DDM, its okay for the O/P to take a home test tomorrow morning when waking up so s/he gets an idea where s/he stands. :thumbsup:
The O/P should then take a second home test 3 days before the scheduled U/A (again using the first void of the day). If the O/P's second test is "dirty", then s/he can began creatine-loading that same day in preparation to use N2's Dilution technique on the day of the scheduled U/A.
To the O/P: The proper vitamin to use for urine color is B2 (Riboflavin), not B12.
But it must be understood that with creatinine and S/G checks being the norm in recent years, sample color became the least aspect in determining an overly-diluted sample. Even urine samples that have a nice yellow color to them can still exhibit an unsatisfactory S/G and creatinine level.

Burnt Toast, I have pedialyte on-hand from when my daughter was sick. It's still good, not past the expiration date or anything. Would that be ok to dilute with on test day, or do I need to buy gatorade? I know pedialyte is full of electrolytes and stuff, but its for kids, so I'm wondering if it'll work for me. I'd have to supplement with a little gatorade anyway, because I only have one bottle of pedialyte, so would that work?

Also, should I stop taking the metabolism booster I'm taking 3 or 4 days before the test too? So I don't metabolize any more THC than necessary? I'm not going to go to jail or lose my job if I fail, it's much more important than that. I'd prefer to keep details to myself, just know that I absolutely CAN NOT fail and I WILL be watched, so substitution isn't an option for me.

This worries me. My aunt (a registered nurse with 30+ years of experience and no reason to lie) and uncle (an MD with more experience than my aunt) AND a lab tech have all three told me that Riboflavin can cause a false positive for THC, even in patients who would otherwise be clean.
Curiously, I had a lab tech who recently attended a training conference tell me that Nexium (the little purple indigestion pill) could also cause a false positive, to the point where if someone tests positive for THC after disclosing a drug history including nexium, many labs will report back inconclusive. He said when taking a history, if the patient discloses nexium, they almost expect a positive result for THC.

Nobody is going to know that but you - by ordering some validity test strips online and test your S/G after using pedialyte. Do a Google search for drug adulteration test kits.

Yep.

Unless youre revealing your username to every Tom, Dick, or Harry in the world, it would be beneficial on your part to elaborate a bit on those "details", which can serve to elicit more helpful information for your situation.
With that being stated, if youre not facing jail time or loss of employment, what are the consequences should you fail a U/A?

There are no false-positives anymore. False positives are eliminated when the sample undergoes a confirmation GC/MS. The GC/MS, being a selective and highly accurate methodology, would distinguish between THC-COOH and vitamins and/or scripted and OTC meds.
As far a Riboflavin triggering false-positives, there is no solid substantiation to this claim.
If such claims were actually true, then individuals who consume cereals rich in Riboflavin (ie, Total, Product 19, etc) as part of their breakfast diet would become victims of a false-positive.
But as I stated above, there are no false-positives anymore.
