I failed!! Is 30 days actually enough to get clean?

Well here's my experience, thus far:

I'm a female, an everyday smoker for the last year who smoked at least 5-6 times a day, average. I'm 5' 7', 160lbs average body, but I can stand to lose about 15lbs. I work out occasionally, like 1-2 times a week. I do a lot of cardio when i do (60-90 minutes). I rarely drink water or tea, and I eat pretty good.

I'm on my 30th day of my Dry Spell for the moment. I bought a THC testing kits from ebay and tested myself the 3rd week into my dry spell. I had a faint line indicating negative. I read the directions and it said even if it had a faint line, you would be qualified as passing. I will be testing myself in 2 more week. But's that's a home test, which is different from a lab.

Now I have to agree with Damon32 on this, taking a break from smoking and drinking has it health benefits. So this dry spell isn't bad at all. If anything it's bringing my tolerance back down so I won't have to smoke so much. But it really all depends on your metabolism, drinking habits, smoking habits and your body composure.

There's a lot of debate about the "faint" neg line. I had a faint line after 27 days clean. It's good that you're giving yourself another two weeks. Someone told me that a very faint or ghost line means you are probably right at the 50ng cutoff.

According to testers, if there is a line, labs won't do a GC/MS on it, which is typically used to confirm a negative or further testing of a negative dilute.

Hopefully you bought cheap tests off of ebay. In addition to testing yourself with your first part, first void (e.g., your first pee after waking up), test yourself a few times in the afternoon. The line gets stronger.

Also, if you're right at the cutoff with a faint or ghost line, pee into the cup midstream when you're taking your drug test, not top of stream. Try to schedule a test in the afternoon, not the morning, on the theory that you pee out more THC, waste and other garbage with your morning pees, especially your first pee of the day.

I've seen tests still come up positive even after several months. If you've been smoking regularly for years, it doesn't just go away in 30 days.
They can track the levels tho to see if they stay steady or lower in time.

One day all companies will do folicile testing and then everybody is screwed.

To the OP. For the next 30 days, don't smoke and drink as much water as you possibly can and eat fruit and veggies ONLY. Detox your body as much as possible. It's your only real hope. Maybe there's a way the company will let you slide? Are you friendly with anyone high up. Did the company hire out the testing?
It's such a damn shame smokers have to go thru this!:( Remind us before the next test and we'll all throw you good vibes and wishes!

Thanks all. I need all the help I can get. And yes the girl stood in the room with me not 3 feet away and looked directly at me! I have bought some detox pills to use in an emergency although they porobably won't really work. My boss does like me and it is possible I won't test at all but who knows. I got a question, is it the same no matter how much weed you smoke? What about if you take ONE toke every week or so? Would it still take 30 days to get clean? I will keep in touch and keep my fingers crossed for us all. Stay strong fellow smokers!

I have never heard of a company do that! Its one thing if its someone who they actually suspect, but just for employment? Are you sure thats legal?
