Hi guys,

Apologies if most of these questions have been asked already (I'm pretty certain they will have) but I just want to be sure as my circumstances or a bit different to the usual drugs test.

I've been a HEAVY user for about 3/4 years (couple of times a day at least) but have been clean for 27 days now. I'm 5"11' but very skinny (I only weigh 125lbs) and have been running and working out regularly to try and clear my system a bit. I have a pre-employment medical for a job coming up and obviously part of that is a urine drug screen. Now because I'm in the UK I'm not sure about any differences in the test, the form says that they will do a test for THC, amphetamines, cocaine, opiates and Phencyclidine but they will do a full urinalysis on my sample (it says "microscopic urinalysis only if dipstick positive").

Basically what I want to know is, can I get away with synthetic? (assuming I don't get caught subbing) It might work on a THC test but would it stand up to a full urine test? The stuff I have is the UrineLuck synthetic and the site does mention a lot of the stuff they will need to find in the sample (Glucose, Protein, Bilirubin etc...) but I really need to be sure as this is a very important gig (also testing positive would lead to some VERY awkward questions from people). I've also been testing myself regularly with dipsticks but none of them have been negative (a couple of ghost lines is all) which is why I went synthetic but if I can eventually self test negative the problem will have solved itself.

Sorry if I rambled a bit, but any help you guys could give would be great. It sucks that a pretty harmless drug can ruin job prospects, especially when a) it hasn't been taken in a month and b) I was fine at my job even when using, but I just got to deal with it.

Thanks.
