How can I possibly be clean? (Chronic users please chime in)

[halo09]

Like so many of us, I am faced with a terrifying pre-employment screen coming up. (10 days from today, hopefully longer) Fortunately, and unlike a lot of poor souls, I was able to give myself as much time as possible.

I last smoked December 15th. (29 days ago) I consider myself very well educated on all things drug testing related, but I am confused as to how I began testing clean at only 23 days - given my very slow metabolism, lack of exercise, and chronic use. (which is noted below)

My question is this: How can I possibly be testing clean? I began testing myself at day 23, morning voids daily, using 3 different brands of at home tests, and have yet to fail a single one, leaving me to question their validity. (Though I hear good things of their accuracy and reliability)

Any other chronic users out there with poor metabolisms getting clean relatively quickly? After reading through tons and tons of information on the web, although every single person is obviously different, I was under the impression I could be testing dirty as long as 60+ days given my metabolism and intake. I had already purchased a wizzinator and was planning on subbing. I did not foresee passing home tests consistently, and certainly not this early in the game.

I was able to give myself an extra 6 days before the actual test, and plan on hopefully even getting a few more extra days, putting myself at what will be 42 days clean. Given my home test results, I will not be diluting completely on actual test, but I will up my protein/creatine intake in the days prior to the test, and will be well hydrated when the time comes. (Unless I'm given reason to take another approach.)

I will continue testing morning voids daily until the day of the test, and will keep everyone apprised of my results.

Am I fretting over nothing? Should I trust in these hometests and stop sweating it?

Would love to hear from Burnt Toast on this! Side note on that: I've been beating drug tests for years and though I have never posted here, I've literally probably read almost every post Burnt Toast has made in this forum, and consider him the authority on all things testing. And even if he doesn't respond on this one, it's worth noting I'm grateful for the time and effort he has put in over the years. You've helped thousands, literally - So a cheers to Burnt Toast. :thumbsup:

You must have a good liver, it filters out the toxins and gets rid of the weed evidence

Maybe try doing the opposite of what is recommended, time permitting. THC stores in fat cells, when you burn fat (time and fat burning exercise) it metabolizes, the metabolite created is what they test for in a UA. I would spend a day or so doing fat burning exercise and see if you can get a reading then.

That's a good call. I had been exercising a bit to aid in burning it out, but haven't had a whole lot of time lately.

When it comes time for the real test though obviously I'll be as sedentary as possibly in the days directly proceeding it. No problem there

Halo, Keep testing yourself with the first urination of the day.

If all of your home tests are consistently negative with the first urination of the day, then consider yourself one of the lucky ones to get "clean" in a respectable amount of time. Perhaps you have been selling your metabolism short the whole time, eh? :thumbsup:

Thanks for the input I very well may be too critical of my metabolism. I'm not "fat" but I think a lot would probably consider me overweight. After work I'm going to do a bit of exercising to see if I can produce a fail.

I took two more tests today, morning void and then just now this afternoon. I passed these as well, though oddly enough they were both considerably more faint than the previous tests taken. But still have two lines and would be what I would call a negative. Today is day 30 clean and I've now passed 5 morning voids, starting on day 23, along with 3 afternoon tests. Have yet to definitively fail any. I'll continue testing daily. I ordered one more brand of at home test and it should be arriving today or tomorrow, I'll continue to post results.

I smoked some hash I made 4 days before my test and just chugged 2 gallons of green tea and took like 3000mgs of niacin over 3 days and I passed

No biggie here. Youve passed by diluting. If what youre saying is indeed true, then you wouldve passed using two gallons of water. You wouldve passed anyway via the fluid-loading alone and without the niacin to go with it.

Yes, this is dilution. I am referring to legitimately passing.

Halo, the afternoon tests youve took arent exactly anything to place any credence upon. Thats because those tests were taken at a period in which you have likely voided at least a couple of times prior - combined with any fluids youve likely consumed during the course of the day as part of maintaining normal hydration. These two conditions make for some skewed test results because of reduced urine concentration - and this reduction is only temporary. Thats why it is urged that the first urination of the day should be used when testing yourself, because it is the most concentrated (ie; THCA concentrations are at their highest).

Faint lines mean nothing - except a negative. Even synthetic urine controls (which contain no drug metabolites at all) can produce a faint line on an assay.

A negative is a negative..:smokin:
