21 days should i worry? well im freaking out

[romewarrior]

I recently took a pre employment drug test on June 12th (quest diagnostics) to go back to an old job. I need the job incredibly bad but im terrified im going to fail the test. I'm by no means a regular smoker. My roommates smoke a lot and i turn them down about 95% of the time. Anywho i smoked a few hits of regs with them on the 15th and then again on the 20th of may. Each time i think it came out to be a bowl or less between the 3 of us. Anyways i'm 5'8 and 143lbs. i have what i think to be a pretty high metabolism. I play basket ball now and again and drink a lot of water, how ever i did go jogging and plaid basket ball the day before the test which ive now learned was probably a bad idea. it was roughly 21 days since i last smoked before the test and i have yet to hear from the yet. i took it on friday and now its tuesday. the only thing i did as far as dilution goes for the test is just drink a lot of water. im a firm believer that no news is good news but im really pretty stressed out and id just like some input on if i should be or not. Thanks in advance.

Well it's thursday now and i still havnt heard anything back. except yesterday the employer called me to verify an address and that was all. If i took the UA on a friday would they conduct the test over the weekend or freeze it or something and wait until monday? I havnt heard from an mro yet if i did fail. should i breathe easier or now? any feed back would be great because i'm still on pins and needles

I took a UA at Quest on Monday and was told ny the tech that it would take 5 business days for my employer to get the results back.

gah thats too bad i was starting to relax a bit.

But you know no news might be good news. I don't think you will be contacted if everything's fine just if you did not pass. Based on your post if you only smoked those two times and were clean before that I would guess you have a better than everage chance of passing your UA.

well i called the employer today and they say I'm good to go they're just waiting on the drug screen results. hopefully the 5 business days is company policy for quest and i don't have to worry that they had to do some additional test or something. do you know if an MRO always contacts you if you fail? i live in florida and there's no medical mj use here. i guess only time will tell. I'm definitely going to be super anxious until then.

Right now the status of mmj seems irrelevant as far as employment is concerned.

[romewarrior]

yeah. the reason i bring that up is because if mmj were in florida id imagine the mro would have to call to verify i did or didnt have a script. since its not theres no viable excuse i could give him so would he even bother to call is the question.

[romewarrior]

boosh! i passed and i start next week. thanks for everything guys
