i took xxtraclean detoxify.... but..

[thegambino]

i'm 6'2" 235lbs , smoke all day everyday for years. i went to my local head shop and bought the xxxtraclean detoxifier. i asked the guy if he's had good reviews, he responded with "we have regulars who buy it on a weekly basis, better than a good review".

day of test:
wake up this morning, test is today, take the drink as he instructed on a paper taped to the box. i do a home test before i go do the actual and i come up positive (3 times in diffrent times). i am buying some time with my possible employer. i went to the head shop and told him i'm positive, why? he said "were you on an empty stomach?" i said yes, for the exception of a shot of cuban coffee, he said "that could be it, coffee is very acidic." is this correct? does he know what he is talking about?

i have another bottle of xxtra clean and will try tomorrow morning again, on an empty stomach (no coffee this time), by the way, i've been 6 to 7 days clean. will this product work? i need this job, please help, i'm desperate...and sober, not fun.

Whoo! First post! Either way I feel I am qualified in the testing field to field this one...

Those detox drinks don't really do much themselves. Notice on them it says to drink an ungodly amount of water before and after. Basically not trying to be mean but you could do that with just drinking water. The drinking water part is what they call dilution, so the drink itself is filled with B vitamins and others to help recolor your urine (even though it usually ends up neon yellow). Hence its not the detox drink that cleans you out but the actual flooding your system with water.

BTW dilution is not a sure fire way to pass a test either. My advice to you if you are tested much is to get QuickFix or another synthetic urine.

Hope this helps man.
peace

EDIT: I just realized my brain is fried or something cuz I used to post here awhile back...so FIRST POST this year!! WHOOO!

thanks for the info apathy24, but i forgot to mention the guy at my local head shop made sure to tell me not to drink more water than 16 ounces, which is the size of the xxtra clean bottle. This is what the taped instructions say:
Start: 1 hr 30 min b4 appt. on empty stomach drink bottle wait 15 mins refill with water, drink bottle wait 1 hr, go to bathroom while you wait at least 3 times, done, clean for next 5 hrs. then he went on to say NOT to drink more water than the refilled bottle or i will dilute it.

Followed the instructions for the exception of that damn coffee (which now I'm hoping was the reason why i failed). again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

All detox drinks are a scam.

The water is what does all the work.

You can accomplish the same results on just water and B2 vitamin - and at a fraction of the cost. Read up on the Dilution sticky thread for proper water and vitamin loading.

Of course the headshop operator will say things like that. Dont buy into it. They'll say just about anything to exploit the credulous and take their cash.

Cannabis users, already victimized in the so-called 'war on drugs' without these scam artists jumping into the mix, deserve better.
