The TRUTH behind drug testing

[rainmaykr]

Hi there
Branall1, great post! I have a couple of questions for you, if that's ok. You say that water loading and B vitamin should do the trick to pass the test. Don't they perform a urine integrity check (to make sure it's urine and not diluted) for things like Ph, specific gravity, creatinine levels etc? You didnt mention those things in your post so I was just curious. I have read and printed IMN2pot's posting about the dilution method and he mentions those things. I have a job interview on Friday and if I get the job (which I hope I do) I will have to take a test. I am assuming I'll have at least 10 days or so as a buffer because I last smoked on Monday. I quit as soon as I got the call for the interview. I was planning on using N2's dilution method but I'm not big on taking the creatine but I will if it will help. I'm a female and i don't bodybuild and if I take too much of it by mistake, would they be able to tell? (Last time I did a home test I was clean after 2 1/2 wks and I smoked everyday, almost, for 10 yrs so I'm assuming I have a fast metabolism) Just wondering what your take was on the urine integrity. Also, I am on wellbutrin and was wondering if they would do the more sensitive test because of that. I know you have to tell them what drugs you're on. I really appreciate your response and info. It's a great job with great salary so I'm a bit worried about prospect of taking the pre-employment drug test.
Thanks!

Branall1,
Very informative, thank you. I am going to be taking a drug test at a facitily soon, where some friends of mine work, and they have prewarned me that if hte company is interested in me at the interview, they will send me into their public restroom to take an unmonitored test and dip the stuff right there. I plan on substituing and I know how long I can keep clean piss warm before it starts to get rank. My question is if I dont want to have to worry about getting the piss a couple hours before the interview. I was thinking I could maybe store it in the fridge and rewarm it in hot tap water. How long can I keep the pee in the fridge and it still have the same qualities as fresh?

You have to use the piss within 8 hours or it will start to grow bacteria. Freeze it ASAP if you can, then thaw and use.

Hope this helps

Hey Brandon! Ok, I'm a freak, and I know it, and everyone seems to think I'll be just fine but...

Until reading your posts, I could not be put at ease. But now, reading what someone with your experience has to say, I feel better. Even still, the paranoia takes over in me when it comes to these situations.

I have been a contract analyst for a Fortune 100 company here in NC for about 11 months now. It was only supposed to be for 3 months, and so it's been very frustrating to be strung along this long. I abstained for this entire time (since the temp agency I'm payrolled with does random), and then one day about 2 months ago, I got pissed and gave in. I smoked everyday for about 3 weeks. Then they decided they wanted to hire me. Yeah, really. I immediately stopped and have been straight for 20 days, drinking lots of water everyday (like at least 2 liters a day). I will probably have to test this week, probably Tues. or Wed. Like I said, everyone says I'm fine, keep drinking water and I'm golden. And, about a week ago, I took a home test and that was negative. So, what am I worrying about, eh? lol

I have some quite expensive detox stuff that I bought a while back. Can't return it now. It even says that drinking water is not necessary. Should I even bother? I'm a small person (5'1", and 149 - I could stand to lose about 10 lbs)...Bottom line - am I ok? Straight for 20 days and LOTS of water? Whatcha think? And don't the labs (I'll probably end up at Labcorp or Quest) test for the detox stuff/masking agents? Any advice would be MUCH appreciated. Chow.

I have no idea. But the day someone starts testing my hair for a damn job is the day I go into business for myself. How much control do they need over a person to nit pick what you did months ago? :cursing:

Hey Branall,

I just took a test today and did not pass. So they sent it to a lab....yesterday I ate a few methadones. Will they test for that at the lab or just the THC I failed for?

If anyone else knows please chime in! TY

so if the levels in my piss are not normal (from dilution and cranberry pills and vitamins), will they retest me or take a closer look at the pee?
and thanks for the advice....
