Survey - Your Responses Appeciated!!

Hi all. I'm brand new to ths site & forum.
:jointsmile:

I must say that I am pleased & impressed with the intelligent & informed discussion on this thread re: drug testing.

My survey question is this:
IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO HAS TESTED POSITIVE ON A THC URINE DRUG SCREEN DESPITE TESTING NEGATIVE WITH THE HOME TESTING KIT? (Or have you heard of anyone this has happened to?)

I last smoked a very tiny amount, just enough to get a buzz on 9/3/07. Before that, I hadn't used for 1 week. Prior to that, I would smoke a bowl 3-4 times per week.

I had a pre-employment UDS screen yesterday, 10/10/07.
I provided a fairly diluted bright yellow* sample.
(*I have taken a time-released B Complex tab EVERY morning for several years.)

I drank several cups of cranberry juice the night prior, & 1 cup a few hrs before the test. I peed 3 times before submitting the sample. Had to pee @ a gas station on the way.

This morning (d/t paranoia), I tested my urine.
It was the 1st piss of the morning & was dark yellow; NO dilution, smelled like pee. The home test was negative. I guess I can breathe a sigh of relief?

Anyway, I hereby PROMISE to let you all know the results of the official pre-employment UDS screen. Cross my heart.

I just want to be informed & prepared if the worst-case scenario should arise.

Thanks in advance!;)

Your fine..congrats!

Thank you for your quick response, "geonagual"!
Every little bit of positive feedback helps calm my nerves.
Fingers crossed!

Anyone else?

:D

I concur. You should be just fine!:thumbsup: Those home test are very accurate.

Thank you, "HappiestMFOutThere"!! :)

Anyone else? The more the better.

(Again, I PROMISE to let you all know the results of my official UDS screen. I'm real reliable that way.:D)

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO HAS TESTED POSITIVE ON A THC URINE DRUG SCREEN DESPITE TESTING NEGATIVE WITH THE HOME TESTING KIT? (Or have you heard of anyone this has happened to?)

Just want to get a clear understanding re: the validity of home drug test kits.

:detective1::detective1::detective1::detective1:

Someone just asked this. I have seen it happen on here very rarely. I would say it happens to about 1 to maybe 3 people out of every 100, which follows what the manufactors of home tests say (97-99% accurate).

Good to know!

I would be very interested in knowing what the variables are (ie., amount/frequency of cannabis usage, shelf life of the testig kit, etc.)


:rastabanna:

My friend was being tested by internet-obtained drug tests. He had been clean for a couple months and then tested positive for coke, weed, amphetamines and benzo's 1 time (he was tested every 3 days). Then his dad tested himself and turned out the same. Bottom line, they were both completely clean and the tests said otherwise, is that what you wanted to know?

False positives on a home drug test?
Scary. :eek:
I would freak.

I'm just hoping my home test didn't give me a false negative.
Still waiting on the results.

I'm concerned that I'll go back this Wed 10/17 & they'll tell me that my sample was diluted & then hand over another cup. So, I plan on drinking lots of Gatorade & cranberry juice again on Wed morning.

If I drink lots of fluids all day, that's my business.
Fuck them.

If you drink the recommended 8-10 cups of water per day, chances are your urine will ALWAYS be deleted. Right?
Who is ANYONE to tell you that you can't drink water?!

:angry3:

So the last time you smoked was more that a month before your test, and you arrent a heavy smoker, and you took actions to dilute the sample (nothing extreme but still something)
Buddy if you arren't clean under those circumstances then you won't ever be clean again in life.

I have a feeling your friend's dad read the test wrong. A lot of people do.

Friend, there is no reason to start 2 threads on the same subject so I merged them.

8-10 glasses of water spread out throughout the day will not result in a diluted urine. In fact, 40 ounces of water 3 hours before the sample is what is used for those who "can't go" so do the math. Reality check: Since they are signing your paycheck they can tell you not to forcefeed yourself fluids before your drug test. There are under no obligation to hire people who dilute and they are under no obligation to keep people employed who fail random tests repeatedly for dilution.

I had a friend that had blood work done and they tested for THC, etc. She is a MMJ patient. It had been 5 days since she medicated last and the (blood) test came back negative.... I have found that 30-40 minutes of cardio exercise (and plenty of fluids during the workout) keeps me out of whiz quiz trouble after about 10 days.

Body chemistry plays a big part in it, as well as how often and how much you consume. I use for pain and sleep once a day, probably 5 days a week.

Negative home test, as long as it's a good one that match the 50ng/ml cut off... No ways, your fine.... The only way yu could come + is if they have a quite lower cut of and even though, with yu're smoking history, yu're super fine.

Be well and the best o yu

I suppose that's why you get two strips in the home tests (if they are 97%-99% accurate). I suppose if they both show a bottom line (underneath the control line) then you are pretty damn safe.

Friend....any news yet?
