Im in the same boat as you as far as probation goes. Have you been tested after smoking for 3-5 days like you said? I really cant help you on your original question, but I can let you know what I do.

Of course the best way is to not smoke and since it is for proby that is the best solution. I cant say that I have the will power to not smoke myself so I usually smoke a couple bowls after I see the p.o. You need to test yourself w/ a at home test about a week or two after you smoke. Always test yourself right after you wake up so your urine wont be diluted. If you test yourself you can judge pretty accurately how much you can smoke. You also need to keep yourself hydrated, exercise, and eat a low fat / high fiber diet. Since it is for probation I wouldnt trust any detox drinks or anything like that. You gotta sacrifice smoking a lot for the ability to smoke whenever you want after proby. Anyway thats my advice and I know how you feel with the probation/smoking thing. Good luck.
