Should I dilute?

[budcloth64]

A faint line is very common with a home MJ test because the cutoff (50 ng/ml) is very low. If you see the line, you're good. Don't worry. The home tests are very accurate, especially when done first thing in the morning with normal hydration.

ok thank you both for looking I just got the time it will be tommorow this time its definate :/ and i cant put it off any longer for good or bad, I will do my best to upload an actual picture of the test today see what you guys think of the real picture.

Anyway do you guys think i should dilute? I got about 20 hours till the test any way i can increase my chances without getting a definite invalid result?

boy I truly hope I pass this I think my heart jumped in my throat when I got the notice now, and out of sheer panic and the need to talk to someone I made the mistake of telling my wife and well yea if I dont pass this and keep my job I will be out, kids and job gone. ok ok I will quit ranting now sorry.

p.s I should add that the test will be on the 41st day after the first weak joint.

For even the heaviest of smokers, testing positive past 30 days is exceedingly rare.

I would make an attempt to be well hydrated, but if you're passing home tests you don't need to heavily dilute.

I'd say drink something like 24-36 oz. of sports drink starting 3 hours before hand. But again, if you're passing home tests you could drink nothing and be fine.

thanks for the info ok I will do the moderate hydration then drink a few soft drinks and hope for the best i guess at this time its all I can do. What about aspirin is that still recommended? I have read that it no longer has any effect.

Also I apologize to everyone for flooding this forum with 2 threads when there are so many threads on this topic this is simply due to the fact that I am not thinking very rationally at this time not having had any chance to talk this out to anyone ( not counting the major whipping i got from my wife earlier today ) your info and thoughts have definetly helped me keep it togather more or less.

Yes it is true. Aspirin was used as an interferant for only one type of test: the first-generation EMIT screen. A second-gen EMIT (aka EMIT II) was since introduced to counter the interference issues caused by aspirin. As a result, the first-gen EMIT is seldom used anymore (if, at all).

ok thanks burnt toast, but do you think that it hurts to use the aspirin? I mean a chance of trigering a false positive?

well damn anyway I didnt find any creatine so i wont be diluting too much I am already at it in fact, I will of course for good or ill post my results here hopefuly and the full history here and hopefully it will help someone avoid going through the hell I have been through the passt weeks I definetly think that I have developed a high blood pressure or something, just gotto keep it cool till the test is over and hope they give me an answer soon and not take weeks or I will be a nervouse wreck..

It would be a waste of time and energy.

Aspirin doesnt create false-positives. Theres really no false-positives anymore.
False positives are eliminated when the urine sample undergoes a confirmation GC/MS. The GC/MS would distinguish between illicit substances and OTC/scripted meds.

thnx for all the info burnt toast you and the others, I will quit obsessing here i dont think stress will help any. talk to you guys after the results.

peace out and good luck to everybody that has an upcoming test.

A lot of the fat is probably removed with the sweat but we know for sure that fat cells are expelled in urine. If you work out wouldn't the fat cells carrying the thc leave your body when you urinate. Can you cause yourself to have a positive test when you otherwise would not have just by working out.

Anytime fat cells burn, the stored THC metabolizes into THCA and is released back into the bloodstream, to where they are filtered by the kidneys and deposited into the bladder.

A sizeable portion of THC metabolites are excreted via the bowels, but B/M is not the preferred specimen type for drug analysis.
Very little THCA is excreted via sweat. You can sweat buckets, yet the amount of THCA being excreted will still be miniscule. The rest are being excreted via urine and bowels.

If a person still tests positive on a home kit (with the first days' void), then all fat-burning activities should be avoided and be as dormant as possible for 3 days prior to the U/A to avoid releasing a bunch of THCA into the bloodstream, which will end up in the urine to be detected.

hey guys I did the test with moderate dilution I drank vitamin B and peed vitamin yellow, the only problem is i did not have the chance to load up with creatine :/

anyway I peed 4 times after I wokeup early in the morning drinking lots of fluid till it was almost clear, when i got to work i quit hydrating and then peed another time 4 hours before the test and yet another time about 2 hours before.

I found out that they consider crea below 2mmol/L whatever that is to be diluted do you think that I made it when it comes to dilution or that I will definetly test invalid?

p.s I might add that I ate before the test if that has any effect.
