The rate in which the THC metabolites are filtered from the bloodstream by the kidneys is unaffected by drinking copius amounts of water.
Drinking water is only good for the day of the U/A. It only serves to dilute the THC metabolite concentration that is present in the bladder to where the urine sample can register below the cutoff thresholds of the drug screen. The phenomena is only temporary. Once all of the water consumed had already been urinated out, a "dirty" donor would resume testing positive for THC.

Dilution techniques can backfire if the THC metabolite concentration in the bladder is too high. For most longtime daily users, it would be virtually impossible to dilute that concentraion enough without overdiluting and sending up the red flags at the lab.
Ok i understand what you guys are saying.

So - how about if - 3 days before the test i eat plenty of red meat on each day upto and including the day of the UA, also - on the day of the UA drink plenty of fresh orange, water and take plenty of vitamin b complex... do you think this would raise any flags?

Also - is it legal for the DVLA accredited doctor to attend a home visit to take the UA, i mean - how do i know he is not going to tamper with the test for his own benefit of me having to take another test and then the doctor charging the DVLA another fee for the second test - i know it sounds far fetched but if i can think of that scam anyone can... or am i just paranoid becuase of the THC.

I dunno how i passed before, i smoked more than i have ever done before becuase i didnt work then, i was sat on my backside all day at home smoking it 24/7 instead of ciggaretts then stopped and didn't even have one drag in 6 to 7 weeks till my test... however, i drank loads of fresh orange, kept my self hydrated all the time and had a positive feeling i would pass and yes i did pass.

Am i just paranoid, whats your thoughts? 1.4 to 2.8 gram a day, some days i would just have 3 joints max, i did smoke it during the day at work before i got a promotion - now its not possible as the people at my work are always working within arms length of me and would easily smell it, from say mid october till sunday just gone i cut down a little and was smoking from 6pm till 10:30pm (not like before the promotion, i smoked a joint at 6:30am walking to work) then at mid-day on my lunch and then at 4pm on my way home and then right until i went to bed.

I just cant help it, its killing me now - the first time i did a UA i found it easy to stop as i had other things to take it off my mind, now i just have my self and a computer - no girlfriend and only see my son a few times a month (due to the ex being a cow) so im under a lot of stress and have nothing to relieve it, i find it hard getting to sleep too and im swetting alot too during the day and night.

Cheers for the replies so far.
reverandbanana Reviewed by reverandbanana on . Im lost - drug test this month Hi everyone. I have done some reading on this forum and I cannot come to a decent conclusion on detoxing my body in time for Drug test. My test is on the 31st January (this month) I smoke between a £10 or £20 of bud every day (thats 1.4 gram for £10 or 2.8 gram for £20) I know thats expensive but thats what everyone gives round here. I smoke for various reasons - the buzz, to feel normal (i feel im addicted and get anxious when i havn't had a decent joint) Rating: 5
