Mind you I have been clean for 23 days and am a very infrequent smoker (probably 3 times in the last 60 days). I am afraid to cause unneccesary suspicion with the dillution method but will do it if necessary.

On a side note...my job allowed me to begin working without completing the required drug screen and have told me that I won't get my paycheck until I have passed the drug screen. Should I fail the test can they legally withhold the money I am owed?
Like insomniasucks said, THC metabolizes at different rates for everyone. However, because you smoked so infrequently, you should be ok. Everything I have read says it takes an average of 5 days for the metabolites to clear for someone that smokes as much as you. If I were you, I would order some home tests to settle my mind. They really aren't that expensive. I got mine from meditests, and got them in 2 days with their normal shipping. Your gonna have to google them because its against forum rules to post a link. Home tests are just as sensitive as the immunoassay they use in the lab for your UA. If you test positive on your home test, follow the dilution sticky on the drug testing forum. however, I wouldn't dilute unless you have a few days. Reason being, one of the main things they look at while checking for adulteration (dilution, substitution, cleansing aids, etc) are your creatinine levels. It takes 2-3 days for your body to metabolize creatine into creatinine, and if your levels are too low its a dead give away that you diluted your urine. I had to take 8 creatine pills a day, which is 5. something grams (don't have a calculator on me at the moment) to keep my level high enough after dilution. I'm 5'7" and 125 lbs, so you will have to adjust to your weight. Post on here when you get the lab results!
