Hey there. I have been reading through a lot of the posts regarding drug tests, and I still feel a little worried about mine coming up next week.

I am 22, and have been a very heavy smoker for 5+ years with no breaks. I only smoke high-grade, and I also smoked a lot of hash. I have not smoked since November 18 (6 weeks today).

I am 6'1 and 130 lbs (very skinny, REALLY fast metabolism), and I'm honestly not very active (exercise-wise). My test is for a new job, which is a State job (don't know if that means a cut-off lower than 50ng or not). I don't know if they will be doing a simple EMIT first, or if they will do the GC/MS test to begin with.

As of today, it has been 6 weeks since I've smoked. Up until 2 weeks ago (Week 4), I was still testing positive on home tests. Now I am getting just a weak line, which I have heard still counts as a negative. What I don't know is if there is any way that there is still a measurable amount in my system at all. I really wouldn't think so, but the faint line still worries me. I have also read that this may mean that I could be close to a 50ng cutoff. However, I have also read that people get a faint line nearly every time, no matter what. Some clarification here would be helpful.

I still plan on doing at least a light dilution method before my test, and I am also curious about what I should eat. I have read that red meat will increase my creatine levels, but I am unsure about fatty foods. I have heard that you should eat a LOT of fatty foods the day of the test and day before, but I have also heard that you should NOT eat fatty foods close to the test. So which is it, and why?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I really think I should be okay, but I can't really mess around when it comes to this job. Thanks so much!
