Ok, so I am very new and inexperienced with trying to beat a drug test and I have 1 week to become a master: I was notified that my job at a very large company had been eliminated on 8/16, so knowing that I??d be looking for a job, I immediately stopped smoking. With my prior use, I was/am pretty much a lightweight. I normally smoke 1-2 puffs of schwag from a one-hitter 4-5x each week, with maybe one of those times each week a little more (4-5 hits). After my last day at my previous job ?? 8/28 ?? I caught a break and a team in another dept where I worked offered me a new role. I was also looking at other job opportunities, so I still (mostly) refrained from smoking anything regularly but did have two hits around 9/1 and then at a party just this past Sat nite had two more puffs. The bad thing is, this recent smoking was with more potent weed: my source was out of the cheap stuff so actually gave me a small qty of hydro, so that??s what I puffed two hits of on 9/1, and based on its effects on me, I believe what I puffed this past Sat may have been some strong stuff as well.

Don??t have the exact date yet, but I??m expecting to have to test early next week, around 9/17-18, which would be about a month since I last smoked regularly, but? those 4 hits of hydro over the last week or so! Ugh. Since I was officially not an employee anymore when the offer was made, they are making me go through the drug screen (pretty sure it??s a urine test).

I did buy a home test kit last night and tested negative, but as that??s just 72hrs since I last smoked, I??m a little skeptical as to the accuracy and cannot afford to get a false sense of optimism. I also know those tests only test to 50ngs but I don??t know what my employer will be testing to.
My dilemma is that I??m torn between relying on that test and going the more ??honest? route, just cleansing by drinking a lot of water, exercising as much as I can, and anything else that is recommended and then hoping I pee clean. The downside of this obviously is that I know I??ve smoked so a positive could come back and this is a high-paying gig at a VERY large employer. If I don??t get it, I??m screwed for any other future roles there too after a 10 yr career earning nearly six digits.

The other route is to try one of the numerous products out there that promises to get me a clean test, but I??m reading that many/most of those can be detected so that seems like far from a guarantee as well?

My last option but one I really don??t want to gamble with is getting a buddy??s urine who doesn??t smoke. Pretty sure he??d do it but I??m concerned about having the temp firmly between 90-100 degrees since if it??s not, they??ll know something??s up.

FYI, I??m male, 46 years old, 230lbs but overall in pretty good health with a reasonably good metabolism for someone my age who doesn??t exercise on any kind of regular basis.

Any advice is most appreciated!!!! I'm desperate and even have a medical appt this morning to see if I can convince my dr I have acid reflux so he'll prescribe me Protonix, which I've read can trigger false positives! (I wouldn't take it prior to the test, but if I come back positive I could possibly point to that and see if they'd retest....).
