I am new to the board and needing any information that can be provided.
I am 21 years old.
5'7 160lb.
Chronic user for 1-2 years.
Clean for 56 days.
I bought an at home test on day 28 and it came back positive 24 ng/mL.
Took another one on day 45 and it was positive as well at 23 ng/mL.
I am wanting to join the Air Force but I am waiting to be completely clean before going to MEPS. Does it really take 2 weeks to get rid of 1 ng/mL? I am needing help from anyone.
wow! your body is a BEAST at holding onto that thc!
im 6'1 170 pounds and i can get rid of thc in about 30 days! (im pretty sure 30 days IS the norm)
Maybe try a different brand of at home test??
...thats crazy 57 days completely clean and your still pissing dirty!?
MOST (idk about military) have a cut off limit of 50ng
(on a side note research JWH:thumbsup:)
tell me about it! those brands i tried were 2 different onesQuote:

i think you might be right, but i want to be able to tell them i've never used it at allQuote:

now what if they did a spinal tap or hair test :jawdropper: HAHAHA
I really hope you are right but what I dont understand is that I am reading that the military cutoff level is 50 ng/mL and then it says confirmation level 15 ng/mL. So what does that mean?Quote:

Or not :rastasmoke:
How do you know what your readings were? Home tests, being assays, lack the ability to yield quantitative values.Quote:

Even though their cutoffs numerically differ, a 50 ng assay is functionally equivalent to the 15 ng GC/MS. The numbers differ because the assay recognizes all 31 metabolite concentrations combined, while the GC/MS only recognizes one metabolite concentration (THC-COOH).
For more info on this, read my post in this thread: http://boards.cannabis.com/drug-test...test-help.html
I mailed the at-home drug test off because I couldnt tell if their was a line there or not on the test and thats what the results came back, it said POSITIVE d9 THC (or w/e the big term is) 23 ng/mL so where do i stand?Quote:

Take one more home THC test 3 days before the scheduled U/A. Be sure to test the first urination of the day. If youre still failing, then you may want to consider making preparations for dilution, specifically creatine-loading. Read up on N2's Dilution 'sticky' thread for tips.
well there is no scheduled u/a, its just whenever i'm ready...im just tired of waiting but if thats what it takes i will...i dont want to use dillution or any of that stuff...my main concern is if i can get in now at 23 ng/mL (which was tested almost 2 weeks ago)Quote:
