30 days sans smoke, but failed at home test tonight

[etmrktgbrandon]

SO are you saying a few hours I should drink water,gatorade, and b-12? I need to take a test also. I've been clean since may 6th, 2010. I took the same test ans a line appears faintly and the right side is light red but it says that any line and faint color is considered a week negative but a passing negative. So what should I do? I'm 5'8, 208 lbs and have stoped working out but eat a lot of salads, teas, fish, chicken?

etmrktgbrandon Reviewed by etmrktgbrandon on 07-28-2010. 30 days sans smoke, but failed at home test tonight Hello all, first time poster, long time lurker I've been clean for exactly 30 days now, but as the title mentions, I failed an at home drug test tonight. I actually took 2 from different companies. One had a ghostly faint little line and the other was an outright fail. Basically, my pre employment drug test is coming in 1 week. I'll have 37 days clean by then, but based on the fact that I'm not clean yet, I'd hate to put all my eggs in that one basket. Further compounding the Rating: 5

Yes OldMan, exactly, practice how much you need to dilute to pass right now, even if you have a little more time to clean out. Just give you more peace of mind. And it would be far better to be labeled "inconclusive" then "fail". The first void of the day is always the worst, although I know that's why you're testing it - to check the worst case scenario. But it's also not what you will submit, right?

etmrktgbrandon - I am 98% certain you are good to go if you have abstained for 80+ days. But flushing a few healthy doses of Gatorade during the 2 or so hours leading up to the test would be a little extra insurance and doubtful to be flagged as too weak a sample.

All of the tests I have seen myself plus training videos, the (T) line is never as dark as the (C) line.

I recommend general to mild dilution to anyone anytime - no harm in it. Although it certainly doesn't always mean it's the cure-all if you smoked yesterday. I prefer afternoon test samples rather than morning samples to be as far from the morning startup as possible. But whatever time period is best for you to control your intake I suppose.

Sorry, I don't know enough about QuickFix to comment on that scenario.

goodluck I shall be watching for the results.
Im in a similar situation, smoked for years daily then gave up just a week ago... so the hard..er part is over.. now im getting into THC extraction mode :P My docter/physical medical test for employment is in 5 weeks so by then ill be 6 weeks clean.. hopefully... maybe...
I have to get a urinalysis or however its spelt. Im not sure if thats the normal drug test thing ? Im going to start exercising heaps for the next month and eat fruit and lots of cranberry juice. then do the diluting and see how it goes. I was thinking about the subbing method... sounds to risky seems
I dont realy no how they do the testing or what they are looking for specificly. Lots of info for ppl in USA, not so much for us in AUS

Theres like 1000 threads on this sort of thing and noone ever ends up saying what happens in the end. I assume that means it didnt go well :P
But yeah if you could let us know your results that would be great.

And again goodluck

Ok well I used to smoke like 3 to 4 times a day. So I've been clean as of may 6th or 7th. I had to quit smoking for my new born because we almost lost him and made a pat wih god to quit. So please what do you think I should do? I took another test this morning and the same results.SO if the line appears faint is that a negative? I need this job times are hard and I need to support my family. Thank you all for your input.

Hello everyone,


First time I post, just joined. I was searching the web because I might be screened for THC soon. I haven't smoked for three weeks now, and the home tests that I've done show a really really really faint red line... which I assume would count as positive, since it's almost invisible compared to the control line. However - my upcoming UA would be pre employment. It's in the UK. I've never done this before and just assume it might be done. However, I haven't been notified, since I haven't had the last interview yet. I do believe I will get an offer onsite. So, my question is, are there any praxis with regards to notifying the candidate for pre employment THC tests?

To sum it up: I've got my last interview soon, which will most likely render an offer, in which case I guess they want me to start work a.s.a.p (perhaps even within a few days). So, if they'd do any tests, I guess they might as well do them there and then, since I have to travel very far to get to the offices, and that they wont get any more opportunities to do this test until I start, if I get an offer an accept. And I think it would be strange to let me do a test like that after I've moved to a new city, just for this job.

So, I guess my question is how probable you guys think it is that I have to do a test after the interviews (I kind of perhaps naively hope that the general policy is to notify the subject at least a week in advance etc).


Thanks for a good thread.

Update:

Monday Night (08/02) I drank roughly 20-25 ounces of water, peed once, then gave myself an at home drug test. Urine was extremely clear. I dunno if it would have passed dilution standards, BUT I was somewhat relieved that I could pass in some capacity. This was 44 days clean.

Tuesday Morning (08/03) I took a second drug test with my second void of the morning. Very yellow, first of the morning pee. Failed for THC at 45 days clean.

Pot is extremely overrated given the stress I've had to endure. The real deal is tomorrow.
