Rare smoker, test on Monday

[sttngagt]

Hey guys, couldn't find anywhere on the internet with real solid information for me. So this is the deal... I barely ever smoke... used to all the time years ago but quit (source arrested, never made a new connection...until now!). But since maybe last November I'm smoked like 5 joints... more importantly though, I split a blunt (cigarillo size) w/ a chick this past Monday, and then I smoked a joint all myself this past Tuesday afternoon (like 3/4pm). Then, as luck would have it, the hospital called me to do a study for them, it pays like $500, so I was pretty excited. But I have to pass a drug test to do the study, and the test is on Monday at 9am. For the study they'll be doing brain (PET) scans and such so they want to make sure I'm not on drugs, etc. So yeah, 2 joints this past week, and the last time i smoked before that was I think december... so do you guys think it's all out of my system by now, or that it will be by Monday morning? I'm about 6'3, 260, so I'm a big dude. I went running Weds morning and was going to today, but I just read I should as of today abstain from exercise. I'm just wondering, do you guys all think I'll even need to dilute? Or I should cuz it could still be there? Or do you think it'll all be out by monday, 9am? I mean, by the time the test rolls around it'll have been nearly 6 full days since I had smoked, and like I said, I'm a very rare smoker. So what do you guys think I should do? If you think I should do the dilution, do you think I need to do it full out a la the sticky note at the top? Or just drink a ton of water and/or gatorade and let it be that? Or should I do everything, aspirin, etc., etc., included? Thanks for any help, I really have no idea, I've never taken a drug test or had to worry about it. And it is a hospital, so I'm guess they'll do the spectrometer test instead of the easier-to-beat assay. Help please?

I would bet in a case like this the hospital will do GC/MS so I doubt you can get clean enough to pass that. I would recommend subbing with synthetic urine.

[sttngagt]

Wow, really? How long does it take to be clean enough to pass the GC/MS?

[killerweed420]

Instead of a cutoff of 50ng with the immunassay test the GC/MS is 15ng. And I imagine they have the facilities there on site to do both. So to really be safe I would sub.

[sttngagt]

Yeah, I understand that, but don't u think having smoked so little that the THC isn't lingering at least to any great effect by now? And by diluting and just drinking a crapload of gatorada and water that I could beat the GC/MS? Not trying to argue, just curious...

[killerweed420]

Its just a temp job so you could try the dillution sticky. Use gatorade instead of water. You're kind of big so the chances are less of passing. But it may work.

why gatorade instead of water? And what about eating? Should i eat any food or whatever or just fast? Since tuesday I've fasted quite a bit. I ate 3 meals yesterday though. And I ate one meal on thursday. Other than that, havent eaten, just been drinking dieuretics basically (tons of water, diet pepsi, and coffee). I did so thinking by eating my body would feed on the stored fat, etc., etc. So today do I fast again or should I eat really crappy today to add on new fat so my body isn't feeding on my fat and potentially putting the THC in my bloodstream, etc? Can you tell me why gatorade and how I should eat today? Thanks.

[sttngagt]

OK, so nevermind on the gatorade part, I read about it and it seems to help with specific gravity, etc., right? But how should I eat today? a lot of food tonight before I sleep? a lot of fattening candy? pizza? or what? the sticky says nothing about diet. Also, since I'm drinking gatorade, do I still need the aspirin? I figured gatorade and aspirin did the same thing, so do I still need both? Help!!! One more day...

[sttngagt]

umm... anyone? it's not the most difficult question.... eat a lot or fast??? there's no information about it i can find...

High fiber foods or metamucil is better for cleaning out the system. Does no good to drink lots of fluids other than to stay hydrated if your working out. Just drink the fluids the morning of the UA.The aspirin helps hide the thc in the urine on an EMIT test. For a GC/MS test it won't help.
