Detoxed in 17 days

[ambientz]

So I'm 5'10, 160-170. I smoked everyday multiple times for 2 years and then got a DUI for drinking. Well I'm on pretrial intervention which includes drug screena randomly (fucking bullshit I can get busted for weed metabolites when I didn't even get in trouble for that but anyways)

I quit for a week before my 4th or so appointment and got hit with random drug test, tried dilution, failed. BEfore hand I bought two take at home tests and had phantom lines I think. I swear I saw something but it might of been wishful thinking. They sent me to a substance abuse evalulator who cleared me as fine. My next appointment is tomorrow, Mar-16. I quit for like 30 days after the failed test, then on feb15-feb26 I smoked my ass off around MArdi Gras time thinking I had plenty of time left. This was the first time I'd ever gone from a break to smoking again and I got LIT like no ones business. The monday morning I quit I smoked some serious ganj and it was so powerful it made me not want to be that high, I started getting paranoid that 20+ days might not be long enough. Then I relaized its Feb so it's short days, plus its a leap year so I got even more paranoid with only 18 days to detox.

I'm a semi-serious runner and run about 3 miles at least a day.
I take fish oil religiously (one of the benefits is your body supposedly has less of an inclination to store fats) for my joints.
I changed my diet to only whole foods, nothing processed and included juices into my diet.
I drink coffee every day.

Well today is day 17 and I bought a take home test and got two SOLID lines and am exstatic. I'm still thinking about diluting tomorrow just in case. What do you guys think? Am I good to piss or should I still be a little worried and dilute hardcore just in case.

That depends on what time of the day you took your home test, in which you didnt mention.

I woke up at 830, drank a monster energy drink at 9, a bottle of water at 12, took the test at 130.

The next time you test yourself, use the first urination of the day and do not drink any fluids prior to your home test. Drinking fluids prior to testing yourself skews the results because fluids can dilute the THCA concentration in the bladder to the point where the urine sample registers below the test kits cutoff threshold. This dilution phenomena is only temporary - once the fluids ingested had all been urinated out, the bladder is replenished with fresh THCA-laden urine, and thus the donor would resume testing positive for THC.

By using the first urination of the day, youre testing yourself under the "worst-case scenario" - when THCA concentrations would be at their highest. So if you still test negative under that "worst-case scenario" (regardless of line intensity) you are good to go. :thumbsup:

Contrary to popular belief, there is no meaning attributed to the intensity of a line. Even synthetic urine controls (which contain no drug metabolites at all) can produce a faint line on an assay. A faint line is still a negative.

thankyou for information, I guess I'm going to make sure I'm diluted tomorrow at the very least

When doing any dilution techniques, if you dont do any creatine-loading at least 3 days prior to the scheduled U/A, you'll end up screwing yourself. Drug testing has come a long way from the days when only drug metabolites were being checked. Creatinine and Specific Gravity are also checked and if they are not in the acceptable ranges, the urine sample will be ruled "too-dilute".

Read up on N2's Dilution "sticky" thread for tips on diluting (disregarding the 'aspirin' step).
