I've made it all through the interviews and I've been offered the position pending a drug and alcohol screening done at a lab of my choosing. They're sending me some kind of paperwork overnight with a list of labs in my area, so from what I've gathered its up to me where to go to get my screenings done.

My past : I've gone back and forth with these people for the last 6 months or so, first being told I was going to be considered and then not, etc. I gave up hope after the last "no its not going to happen" and resumed smoking for a few weeks. My use was pretty heavy, probably 2-3 grams of high quality bud a day. That was about 2 months ago. So in the last 2 months or so, I've gone on two 28-30 day stints of not smoking. I was in some pretty awful back pain in the midst of these breaks and smoked about half a gram over a day after not smoking for 30 days, and its been about 33 days since then. Yesterday I went to a local head shop and got a home testing dip strip kit and I tested positive to my bewilderment. I went off of the rule that about 30 days will flush out the metabolites and apparently I was wrong. I'm 5' 11'' and about 200 lbs, not very active and I've put on a few pounds since the last time I smoked. I read this could just stack on top of the fat that held the metabolites before. In the state of panic I was in as you could imagine, I started reading up on my options.

1) Diluting - seems a risky move that I'd rather not take.
2) Detox drinks - also seems risky and not a for sure way.
3) Detoxing the natural way - I have to submit my screening before the 1st of July so I don't know that I'm confident about this method.
4) Synthetic substitute - From my research this seems to be one of the best options, while not guaranteed of course.

I purchased a QuickFix Plus 3 oz product today. From what I can find online, the batch I have is not one of the recalled products. I'll call on Monday when the customer service is open to verify. It seems that I have my choice of labs in the Houston area. I've found Labcorp, Quest, Anylabtestnow to be some of the more major branches. If I had my choice, would there be any recommendations to try and sub with my QuickFix? I've scoured this forum and the web for pass/fail stories, and it seems that the pass stories heavily outweigh the fail stories.

I know nothing is a 100% pass and I thought I've done a good job by not smoking for a solid month. Any input is welcome.

Thanks!
Hey man. I'm from San Antonio and last week took one at labcorp. I diluted but I was on day 84 of abstinence so that was my first option and only option. There they seem pretty chill and not go in the room with you. Be careful and try QF but get it at right temp. It was strange but I don't think they measured my temp unless the cup had it already. But to me it seems they're just a collect branch and then send it up to lab or something. Gd luck man. Hope u get it. Also the collection seems at a facility of ur choosing but the email will reveal what lab is doing the drug test.
