Incredibly freaked out, I need advice!

Cannibis is a squirrley drug when it comes to knowing exactly how long it will stay in the system.

The GOOD News - most of the drug store drug tests are ZERO-TOLERANCE, meaning any nanogram registers.

MOST U/A PreEmployment drug screens give you a 49 nanogram cut off level - Federal guidelines, to take care of exactly what the problem is you say you bumped into.

The strange thing here is this - you should have had it all out of your system by the time you went into the smoke shop, 55 days should be plenty for a 'weekend warrior' smoker, anyone who isn't a regular. AND THC CANNOT show up in your urine for about 24 hours....

Careful drinking too many fluids BEFORE the drug screen on the day of, if you have over 40 OZ. within the hour before you drug screen it will show too dilute and you will have to re-test, often times on pre- emplyment they won't even re- test these....

Crystal- thanks for the tip, I do agree it's all strange. I don't know how to explain how I failed twice in a row, except that the package of the tester I used said thc could show up within 2 hours. That may explain the pass, fail, fail, pass. As the first fail was seen about 2 hours after I was at the smoke shop.

Actually, and as Ive pointed out previously, home drug tests are a "pass/fail" endeavor and have no ability to yield a quantitative value. If both the "Control" (C) region and the "Test" or "THC" region (T) show a line, its a negative - sample is below the cutoff threshold. If only the "Control" region shows a line, its a non-negative.

Most home tests carry a 50 ng/ml cutoff threshold, which is the same threshold as the DOT initial screen.

So I took the test today. My pee seemed unnaturally yellow and I am concerned about being too diluted. I didn't chug rediculous amounts of water, I maybe averaged 12 to 16 ounces per hour for 7 hours leading up to the test. The good news is if it comes back diluted I will be given a retake after talking to one of the nurses. I'm trying not to worry about the results and should hear something Tuesday.

Eureka! I think I figured out why I failed the two drug tests. When I got home from the smoke shop, I took a piss test right away. I went to the gym after that and ran for about 20 minutes... I have been out of shape due to studying for the CPA exam, which I'm now done with. So... I go to walmart after the gym and buy the two tests that I ended up failing. It's crazy but because I've only been working out about once per week since I last smoked, and I've been slightly overweight, I must still have had enough thc in my system to fail the test. Even though I've passed three since. God I just want to know the results already!
