The TRUTH behind drug testing

[FakeBoobsRule]

so what can i do to pass? drink lots of water, steam room, excersize?

Drinking lots of water days before the test will not clean you out faster. Drinking lots of fluids on the day of the test is dilution. Read the stickies. Steam room will do nothing as very little THC is eliminated by sweat. Aerobic exercise can help but stop 3-5 days before the test.

The TRUTH behind drug testing Hello everyone, I am a new member, but I have some experience that I think (And hope) will clear up a lot of the misinformation (And flat out money wasting) I see on this board. My name is Brandon and I used to work for a medium sized drug testing firm located in North Carolina. We provided everything from record keeping, laboratory testing to legal compliance and on-site test kits. Here are some basic things everyone needs to know about drug testing. 1. It is an entire industry formed Rating: 5

Brandon... I was wondering would they fail you on the spot if the temperature was wrong.. I took mine a few days ago and he excepted it and the guy seemed cool...

just take creatine supplements and drink a lot of water and other things to dilute the urine, creatine levels are what they measure to figure out if the urine is diluted or not

Ha Ha,
I've got the real 411. I'm 5'6" & 160lbs. I was forced to take weekly piss tests for 6 months (probate). I passed every one. My secret????? I researched heavily about MJ in your system. I even found a calc. from the point of totally clean, 1-Hit/High = 3 Days of dirty. I later pick up the jibber again toke once more....2-Hits/Highs = 6 Days of dirty and so on until 30-45 Days dirty depending on you.
I simple toked once a week after my test was complete and waited for next weeks test to smoke again. For 6 Months it worked like a charm. No dilution.

Thanks for the info. How long do you drink a lot of water for though? like a week? :yippee:

Just wanted to add a little something to this while we're on the subject of drug testing misconceptions.

I hear people saying a lot, "Just drink a lot of water and excersise before your test."

This is an excellent way to flush your system naturally, but only if done right. I'm not sure if this has been pointed out on this board or not, but I'll lay it out anyways...

Increasing metabolism is the only way you are going to get rid of the byproducts of THC. So, this means either excersise a lot, drink a ton of caffiene, or eat large amounts of food for a few days before your test.

The only problem here (and something to keep in mind), all of these things are ejected from the body through your urine and sweat. Mostly urine though. If you smoke today and expect to pass a drug test in a few days by excersising and drinking water, you may be screwing yourself over.

The most common thing people do that I've seen when they fail tests is that they go out and sweat like crazy the day before their test. This is fine and dandy. It gets rid of the metabolites, but at the wrong time. If you burn fat and metabolites today, you will more that likely still be urinating them out tomorrow. This will make your urine even more possitive than it already is.

My advice to anyone wanting to flush their system....

If you have more than a week - excersise up until 48 hours before your test. Then take it easy and just drink a ton of water. Eat plenty of food over the last 24 hours and you should be good. This is assuming you are an occational smoker.

If you have less than a week - don't sweat at all. Try to take it as easy as possible. Drink lots of water.

Sorry, forgot to address your question. The standard "at hyome" or "on-site" in-vitro urine tests are "calibrated" (that word is used very loosely) to detect 50 nanograms per mL. What this comes out to on a per bowl/joint is HIGHLY subjective. It's much the same as "how much can I drink before being legally drunk"

I can tell you this. I am 6'0" and 250 lbs. I keep myself well hydrated, and although I am not a tub of lard, I could stand to lose 25 lbs. I experimented on myself and stayed clean for 3 months. I then smoked a bowl of TOTAL CRAP (NC weed is TERRIBLE. Bible belt land you know) and tested myself the next morning. While it would have been an "official" negative, it was very very close to the limit. I was also able to fool it with another glass of water and a second test, but I was pushing the "too clear" limit.

I'm a big guy, and those at home tests are actually pretty sensitive. Not that they can't be defeated, but definitely do't smoke the night before your test.

I have a couple test kits here with me now. I might take some pictures and post a thread explaining everything, if you guys think it might help. Let me know if you think a quick illustrative post on testing procedures and what to expect would help.

Hey man, if you have the right connections in NC, the pot is actually not that bad. I live in Virginia now, but I'm from the Sanford/Fay. area and I have some connects around there for some really good shit. I hate the dirt that the Mexicans and "gangstas" sell. BLAH!

Um, hate to sound negative, but you will need a minimum of at least 20-30 days to pass the test naturally. Plus it all depends how your size, weight, metabolism and water drinking habits. If you drink to much water, your sample might come up dilluted, then they might have you retest or fail you all together. Best solution I suggest to you is going the substition method. Either buying some Quick Fix or using a clean family or friend pee is the only way you have a great chance of passing the test. Good Luck.

I've done it it 14 days, that's how long it took them to get me into court for failing one, I squeaked by 5 days at boot camp by claiming I was merely present when it was being smoked and passed it 14 days after I failed it, so it doesn't take at least 20 days in all cases. Btw, I smoked the morning I failed that initial drug test.

Here's another "scam" within the drug testing industry.

When people think of "drug abusers" they normally think of the big ones. Cocaine, Meth, opiates, etc. These drugs are no longer detectable within HOURS of use by modern drug tests. This means you could be a crackhead every day of your life, abstain for a DAY, and go get tested. You will pass.

Weed is detectable up to 45 days in heavy users (like me). This is part of the cause with the obsession with the "marijuana is bad". If we stop testing for weed, 99.999% of all drug tests would come up negative, rendering the industry useless. Companies that make millions of dollars will stop at nothing to keep that company alive, including pushing false information (Especially OLD test results. Never do you hear of recent studies showing the "terrible effects" of chronic marijuana usage.) or extrapolating ludicrous results from ludicrous tests.

once again yet another reason to keep marijuana a 'dangerous and illegal drug'
