What? Passed?

ive been a daily smoker for several years.

ive had a few short breaks but nothing major...i stopped smoking since last week (7 days ago)...this morning i tested myself with a 'first check' thc indicator...and i came up as negative!!! what!?!?!

im pretty short and slim.

is it possible i passed? this has to be wrong, right? i thought it would take several weeks to get out.

thanks!

Some people with no fat can get clean very quickly. I have a niece who can be clean in 24 hours. She has no fat. She went to rehab for other drugs, had smoked weed most everyday, they kicked her out of rehab because she was clean.lol

The home tests are just as reliable as the Immunoassays the labs use for the initial screen.

If youre home test is negative using the first void of the day, youre good to go. :cool:

My company recently started drug testing, so naturally, I got some testing supplies myself. For a little background... I've smoked daily for 14 years, and in the last 2.5 years, smoked an 1/8th a day. After 3 days, I test clean naturally, and pass within 24 hours if I only smoke a joint a day. I have low body fat, and a high metabolism, as well as a physically demanding job. I'm sure all of which contribute to a faster clearance time. Cheers, to having the same wonderful luck I have!

Thats right. The GC/MS is way too expensive to be used as the primary analysis.

As a scientist I can tell you that these tests are pretty damn accurate. They will use something similar in the lab. Any good test will come with precision and reproducibility paper work on how many test strips were tested and will have the overall results. The test I have now was accurate 99% of the time at 25% above the cutoff (50 ng/mL) and had one false negative at the cutoff level of 50 ng/mL. Do the math, you have nothing to worry about if you can pass one of these colorimetric assays.

That was out of 400 tests.
