chances of passing my drug test

[gluehuffer]

Hi everyone,

I've been reading here for a bit, great info btw and just took my test, I was a regular smoker, going thru 3.5 grams a week or a bit less usually. I curtailed consumption drastically starting 4/16 and had my last on 4/21. It has been exactly 30 days since I have touched the stuff. Even when I did partake, I have been regularly exercising 5-6 times a week (cardio, weightlifitng, basketball) to the point that it looks like I suffer from hyperhydrosis. And eating healthy etc.

I am 5'10 and since stopping I had increased the level of intensity in my exercise and keeping well hydrated (at the gym it looks like I'm drowning in my own sweat). I was weighing 185ish and now I'm down to 177 (I could probably stand to lose another 5lbs). I drink good amounts of water and gatorade/powerade and take a whole host of vitamins (B complex, Biotin, Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc and a Multi-vitamin).

I have passed 2 different home tests- first check and walgreens, but not on my first void of the day- I'm a bit of an insomniac and actually get up to pee like 2-3 times a night usually. So I'm not even sure the "first void" is my first of the day.

I exercised like a maniac last week and took the weekend off of physical exersion. This morning I had a regular breakfast- cereal, yogurt and fruit along with my trash bag of vitamins- 2 BIG glasses of water and also drank 2 20oz powerades before the test. ANd I urinated 4-5 times before the test. My urine sample was nice and yellow- assuming from the vitamins and sports drinks I consumed, and of course good temp as it was mine. THe test is performed by Qwest Diagnotics if that helps.

So in the professional opinion of the board what are my chances of passing for a pre-employment screen? I know there are too many factors to account for something accurate, just trying to ease my paranoia. WHat about gas chromatography/mass spectometry? Any response negative or positive will be helpful. Thanks in advance.

What is it about the GC/MS that worries you?

[gluehuffer]

not sure... fear of the unknown I guess since I was able to pass the paper strip tests.

I had failed a pre-employment test approx 10 months ago because I did not give it the proper credence, I had only stopped using 96 hrs prior (and used heavily) and thought a detox drink would work magical wonders. That was before I found this board and all of the great information within, that is what helped me create the battle plan I kind of explained in my original post. I know better now.

I felt confident, but this is a serious job offer, the one that I failed was a BS joe job that I didnt care too much about.

Like I said, any feedback be it negative or positive is welcome. And thanks in advance.

BTW here are the details of the prescribed pre-employment screeing with Quest-UR Drug screening 6633N SAP 1050 GC/MS

The test code youve provided breaks down as follows:

SAP = Substance Abuse Panel (initial assay screen)

10 = 10 types of drugs to be screened

50 = 50 ng/ml cutoff limit for THC (which is the same as most home tests).


The GC/MS is only used as a confirmation on any of the 10 panels that have tested positive on the initial SAP screen. So if the sample tests negative on the SAP screen, the test is over right then as a "pass" - no confirmation GC/MS would be performed.

If your home tests have been consistently testing negative with the first urination of the day, youre good to go.
