How long did it take you to clean out naturally

[wjohns13]

I hear all these stories about individuals using substitution or dilution, but I am curious to know how long it took people to clean their system naturally. I know for me I didn't test negative until day 60, and I used my first morning urine after working out the day before. So clearly the 30 days is not applicable to chronic everyday smokers like myself. Let me hear your stories.

Haven't had to get clean in a couple years but I'm sure it would take me 60 days to get clean. Thars why I sub with synthetic urine.

According to my home THC test strips; it takes from 15 to 30 days. That's going from the faintest line to a faint line...on the test strips.

day 60??? jeez laweez.

[wjohns13]

Yep day 60. I was getting a faint line at day 52, but on day 60 I woke up and used my first morning pee and got a line almost as dark as the control line, that is when I knew I was clean. You just never know how long its gonna take.

So this is my story. I just recently failed a drug test on May 5th.
I used to a be chronic smoker, daily and many times a day, but I knew I would be drug tested for a summer internship so I stopped in January.
I then decided to indulge for spring break and smoked 4 days in a row. Stopped March 16th.
I had a drug test on May 5th, the day before I took an at home drug test and passed. May 5th drug test I failed, 50 days after quitting. I had read up on a few studies and most said the mean time was 26 days and at most 46 days for THC to completely leave the body. My drug test was a professional medical drug test and I believe the cut off was 20ng/ml. The at home drug test only tests up to 50 ng/ml. However, when my drug test came back positive, I was told I had a concentration of 85 ng/dl (which the lady said was like I smoked last week...Impossible...last time I smoked was March 16th). Then i started blaming my boyfriend b/c he still smokes and thought it must be due to second hand smoke. Well I've read a few studies posted on PubMed and they all state that it is very unlikely for someone to get the amounts needed to fail a drug test by second hand smoke, they would have to be in a car for many many hours with constant smokers for anything even close to failing a drug test.
I went to my doctors office and got a personal drug test sent off to LabCorp on May 19th, I passed, no more THC in my system, 64 days after I stopped smoking. My only explanation to this is I have a slow metabolism by my cyp P450 2c9 enzyme. I lost my job offer due to this event. I just wanted to share with some people my story.
My best advice, is to quit and drink lots of water...I really wish someone like me would of wrote a post like this. It's better to go in thinking your going to fail and pass, than thinking your going to pass and fail.
Wish everyone the best of luck and hope this never happens to you.
Sincerely,
OhNoIfailed

Just wanted to update everyone. I took my drug test last Wed. (it was for a hospital position), on Friday I had to return to get my TB test read, and when that was done, all he said was welcome to the hospital, glad to have you. I then emailed my supervisor today to ask what we should wear and she emailed me back giving me the info, and stated that she couldn't wait for me to start.

When I took my test I was 70 days clean. I started this posts because so many people believe this 30 days stuff, and realistically as you can see from my story as well as the previous story that sometimes it can take 60+ days to leave your system.

Thanks for posting your stories, and good luck to all you job seekers on passing your drug screen.

I thought it was going to be out of my system fast since i have a fast metabolism. After 8 days i tested my self. failed. Tested myself again last night 13th day Failed.. And i think i have the drug test tomorrow.
I have Quick fix that synthetic urine but the color doesnt look to good. and the job is at a hospital so i dont know if they will find anything. and i dont want to chance taking a drink and they find out..

[wjohns13]

That is why it is good to know when your body tells you its clean, whether that is 7 days to 120 days. When you say the color does not look right what do you mean? Because lots of people seem to use that stuff and it works for them, but if its for a hospital you most definitely want to have clean urine whether its a family member, friend, whoever or you want that synthetic urine. Good luck to you and let us know how you do.
