The TRUTH behind drug testing

Brandon... I was wondering would they fail you on the spot if the temperature was wrong.. I took mine a few days ago and he excepted it and the guy seemed cool...

just take creatine supplements and drink a lot of water and other things to dilute the urine, creatine levels are what they measure to figure out if the urine is diluted or not

Just wanted to add a little something to this while we're on the subject of drug testing misconceptions.

I hear people saying a lot, "Just drink a lot of water and excersise before your test."

This is an excellent way to flush your system naturally, but only if done right. I'm not sure if this has been pointed out on this board or not, but I'll lay it out anyways...

Increasing metabolism is the only way you are going to get rid of the byproducts of THC. So, this means either excersise a lot, drink a ton of caffiene, or eat large amounts of food for a few days before your test.

The only problem here (and something to keep in mind), all of these things are ejected from the body through your urine and sweat. Mostly urine though. If you smoke today and expect to pass a drug test in a few days by excersising and drinking water, you may be screwing yourself over.

The most common thing people do that I've seen when they fail tests is that they go out and sweat like crazy the day before their test. This is fine and dandy. It gets rid of the metabolites, but at the wrong time. If you burn fat and metabolites today, you will more that likely still be urinating them out tomorrow. This will make your urine even more possitive than it already is.

My advice to anyone wanting to flush their system....

If you have more than a week - excersise up until 48 hours before your test. Then take it easy and just drink a ton of water. Eat plenty of food over the last 24 hours and you should be good. This is assuming you are an occational smoker.

If you have less than a week - don't sweat at all. Try to take it as easy as possible. Drink lots of water.

What this comes out to on a per bowl/joint is HIGHLY subjective. It's much the same as "how much can I drink before being legally drunk"

I can tell you this. I am 6'0" and 250 lbs. I keep myself well hydrated, and although I am not a tub of lard, I could stand to lose 25 lbs. I experimented on myself and stayed clean for 3 months. I then smoked a bowl of TOTAL CRAP (NC weed is TERRIBLE. Bible belt land you know) and tested myself the next morning. While it would have been an "official" negative, it was very very close to the limit. I was also able to fool it with another glass of water and a second test, but I was pushing the "too clear" limit.

I'm a big guy, and those at home tests are actually pretty sensitive. Not that they can't be defeated, but definitely do't smoke the night before your test.

I have a couple test kits here with me now. I might take some pictures and post a thread explaining everything, if you guys think it might help. Let me know if you think a quick illustrative post on testing procedures and what to expect would help.

Hey man, if you have the right connections in NC, the pot is actually not that bad. I live in Virginia now, but I'm from the Sanford/Fay. area and I have some connects around there for some really good shit. I hate the dirt that the Mexicans and "gangstas" sell. BLAH!

If you drink to much water, your sample might come up dilluted, then they might have you retest or fail you all together. Best solution I suggest to you is going the substition method. Either buying some Quick Fix or using a clean family or friend pee is the only way you have a great chance of passing the test. Good Luck.

I've done it it 14 days, that's how long it took them to get me into court for failing one, I squeaked by 5 days at boot camp by claiming I was merely present when it was being smoked and passed it 14 days after I failed it, so it doesn't take at least 20 days in all cases. Btw, I smoked the morning I failed that initial drug test.

Weed is detectable up to 45 days in heavy users (like me). This is part of the cause with the obsession with the "marijuana is bad". If we stop testing for weed, 99.999% of all drug tests would come up negative, rendering the industry useless. Companies that make millions of dollars will stop at nothing to keep that company alive, including pushing false information (Especially OLD test results. Never do you hear of recent studies showing the "terrible effects" of chronic marijuana usage.) or extrapolating ludicrous results from ludicrous tests.

once again yet another reason to keep marijuana a 'dangerous and illegal drug'

IM 5' 8" AND 195 ILB I HAVENT SMOKED IN 3 1/2 WEEKS DO I JUST DRINK MY ASS OFF THE DAY OF TEST?

Hey Brandon,

Thanks so much for the information, that is awesome of you. One quick question, this is my first time being drug tested for a job (which I think is super big brother, but it's a really great job and I might have to suck it up). I found out that they use the NIDA test at this co...so I bought a Guardian Home Test Kit, which tests for NIDA levels of THC 50ng/ml. If I pass this home test, am I good on the one for the job?

I have been clean for only 8 days, but detoxing and drinking lots of fluids...I'm pretty thin too. So I took a home test yesterday, at exactly 7 days of not smoking and came up clean on the first morning pee. Am I golden? (No pun intented HA!)

Much appreciated!

i was fortunate enough to have different luck with that...i've only had to take two drug tests ever, and the first one was when my parents caught me a couple of years ago (doh!) and then one a week and a half after that first test. the first test was completely random - i got off of work, got home, my mom got home and told me to get in the car and i though "shit, something really bad is about to happen" and blah blah blah to make a long story short we drove straight to the place to get me tested, i had no warning whatsoever. which was extremely bad for me, because i was a daily smoker, AND a friend's birthday had been the day before i got tested, therefore that entire day was spent celebrating, and i probably smoked about an oz and a half by myself in celebration...so i was fucked.

anyways, i failed that first drug test, shit went down, bunch of drama happened, then my mom was like "we're going to see how heavy of a user you are" (because i lied and told them i had only tried it a few times recently) "and get you tested again". that was a week and a half after i took the first drug test. i also had no previous knowledge that this drug test was going to take place, as she made me get in the car and drove us straight there. so, i didn't even have the chance to drink tons of water or try any other method of detox. and my test came back as negative. soooooo...i dunno, i guess i just have a really fast metabolism, because that shit was out of my system in just 10 days. so i guess i'm just lucky with that.

but yeah, it doesn't always take 20-30 days to naturally come out of your system - everyone is different!!!!

hey my friend took urinary tract infection pills, and passed a probation test. Will this work?
