Need Advice on a Drug Test. Please Help
Just found out a few hours ago that due to a new company policy, I have a drug test tomorrow morning, and it will be observed. Here is my situation...I smoked 2 bowls on Dec 18, one bowl on Christmas Eve, and haven't smoked since. Before Dec 18, I had been clean for over 4 months (since late July). The test will be DOT standards. What are my chances of passing, and what can I do tonight and in the morning to improve my chances? Any advice will be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.
Edit: I am 5'8" and weigh 235 lbs.

If this test truly utilizes DOT standards, you will not be observed unless you had been suspected of tampering, or if its a followup/return to duty test:

With that being said, you should consider subbing with synthetic or a clean sample.

Thanks for the fast reply. Do you recommend anything else in case subbing isn't an option? I took a home test and it showed weak negative, but I don't know what the difference is between a home test and a DOT test (assuming it is DOT) as far as the THC level goes. Again, thanks in advance!

Hey, I am new to this site, so bear with me...
I have been clean for 44 days, had smoked fairly steadily for 2 weeks prior to that, and had been clean for about 6 months before that.
Any advise?? Comments?? I have purchased "All Clear"... but have been reading all kinds of conflicting reports.
Have a job riding on this... help.

Most home THC tests utilize a 50 ng/ml cutoff level which is the same as DOT tests. If you took your test using the first urination of the day (when THCA concentrations would normally be at their highest) and tested negative (regardless of line intensity), then you'll be fine for the DOT test (assuming that you are indeed taking a DOT test).
Just to answer your other question: If for some reason that subbing is not an option, then your only other option would be dilution....and prayer.

Thanks again. It wasn't my first urination of the day, it was actually just a few hours ago. I'm hoping that two weeks has been enough time for my system to be clean considering the small amount I smoked and the length of time I had been clean before then...but I'll definitely be diluting just in case.

If you choose the dilution route, be mindful that creatinine and specific gravity checks are mandatory on DOT tests and staying on top of the levels of these two urine constituents is vital.

All sample cups at the collection facility have a temperature strip. For the initial screen, DOT uses a 5 panel Immunoassay with a cutoff level of 50 ng/ml.
